Customer Reviews

Excellent
Great DVD covers many unique stories in and out of the ring.
* Stone Cold Calls it Quits!- A story about what exactly happened behind the scenes when Austin 'mysteriously' vanished from TV.
* The Screwjob- Discussions from Vince, Gerald Brisco, Earl Hebner, and the man himself, HBK Shawn Michaels. During this story, HBK finally admits that he knew what was going to happen all along, after years of denying it. The actual match is included.
* Are You Related To The Samoans?- Story about Rikishi and his family ties. He talks about how his family is involved in wrestling, how close they are, etc.
* We're Off To See The Lizard!- Interesting story about William Regal and his fascination of reptiles. He has a few funny stories about how they get loose sometimes. Nice little story about something I didn't know about Regal.
* Kurt Angle- He revisits the site of his Olympic Gold Medal victory in 1996. Atlanta, GA. He goes through and mentions how some things have changed, and little clips of him doing some amatuer wrestling is shown.
*Trish Stratus- Get an up close look inside her house. Very large house, talks about how she has girlfrieds over, etc. Shows off some nice collections of magazines, wrestling figures.
*Demise of WCW- Very indepth story of what happened, and how they got destroyed. All I can say is you have to watch this, because it's a great story. A history of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship is included.
*Randy Orton- Three Generations of Ortons. Talks about his Grandfather, and his Father 'Cowboy' Bobby Orton.
*Bonus Matches
- Jimmy Snuka vs Ray Stevens from NY.
- Bret Hart vs British Bulldog for the Intercontinental Championship from England.
- Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship(the screwjob) from Canada.
- Scott Steiner vs Booker T for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, on the FINAL nitro ever from Florida.

excellent, with good bonus matches
The WWE Confidential program is a show that tells the behind the scenes stories on many of the major events on WWE history, both current as well as those years in the past. This DVD is the first volume of the best of these stories.

The DVD begins with the demise of WCW as a company and how one time hated rival Eric Bischoff was hired by the WWE. Very interesting stuff. We also see the reactions of Vince McMahon and Jim Ross to Steve Austin walking off the job and essentially quitting. There are family stories with Rikishi and all the Samoans in WWF history, and a story about the 3 generations of Orton wrestlers (with Randy Orton being the most recent). There is a little thing on Superfly Jimmy Snuka (as well as a bonus match with Snuka). We see the beautiful house of Trish Stratus, but the most interesting story on this DVD is that of the Montreal incident.

The Montreal incident took place at Survivor Series 1997. Bret Hart did not have his contract renewed by the WWF and was leaving the company to wrestle with WCW. He was the champion at the time. He was told to drop the belt at Survivor Series to Shawn Michaels (yes, the results are fixed, if you didn't already know that). Bret said no, he claimed he had partial creative control of his character in his contract, and he refused to drop the belt to HBK (they really didn't like each other). The documentary Wrestling With Shadows gives Bret's side of the story, and shows (Bret was mic'd) Vince McMahon agree that Bret would lose the match, but not the title at Survivor Series and forfeit the title the next night on RAW. Vince doublecrossed him and even though Bret had not lost the match or submitted to the Sharpshooter, the referee called for the bell and awarded the match and the title to Michaels. In the locker room, HBK denied knowing about it, but came clean on Confidential saying that yes, he was a part of the doublecross. Very few people knew about it at the time, but it is the most infamous event in the WWE history. To this day, at WWE events in Montreal, "you screwed Bret" chants pop up. We see the WWE side of the story in this segment, and to be honest, I believe that both Bret and Vince were in the wrong in this whole debacle.

DVD extras include:
A classic Jimmy Snuka match (but not the one vs Don Muraco where he leaps from the top of the cage)
Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels, Survivor Series 1997
Bret Hart vs British Bulldog, Summerslam, 1992
Booker T vs Scott Steiner on the last night of WCW Nitro
