WWE: OMG The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the decades WWE has been around, there have been numerous incidents that have happened that made you do a double take or think "Did I just see that?" & made you say "Oh My God!" Well WWE compiled their own list of these type of incidents here. Now this set is no different than WWE's previous "countdown" sets ("Top 50 Superstars" & "Best Of SmackDown") where the incidents picked & order they are in won't please everyone so you just have to take it for what it's worth. Now I'm not going to give you a list of the incidents because others already have (and some may not want to be spoiled) but I will tell you that the main highlight for this set is that this is not a "TV-PG" censored presentation meaning that you'll see the blood, no blurring when seeing Austin's middle fingers, and you'll hear MOST of the foul language. The documentary is strictly that countdown with highlights of each incident with comments from various WWE talents mixed in such as WWE director Kerwin Styles, David Otunga, Wade Barrett, C.M. Punk, Booker T, Jim Ross, Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Curt Hawkings, Chris Masters, John Cena, William Regal, Santino Marella, Tyson Kidd, Todd Grisham, Matt Striker, JTG, Jerry Lawler, Zack Ryder, Drew McIntyre, and Scott Sanford.
Matches Include:
No Holds Barred Match: WWE Champion Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel - Not much of the wrestling world heard of ECW at this time so you saw many things you haven't seen before or in a very long time & was one of the first matches in WWF that you started to see a more aggressive & physical style that was infamous during the "Attitude Era". Look out for various moments such as HBK's being powerbombed through a table & the ending involving AWA legend Mad Dog Vachon.
"In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies" Apr. '96
[From The Vault: Shawn Michaels]
WWE Intercontinental Champion Hunter Hearst-Helmsley vs. Undertaker - For those who don't remember the original concept of Shotgun Saturday Night, WWE would hold wrestling matches in various nightclubs in New York City but this episode took place at Penn Station (a train station) and just like the traffic in New York, this was completely out of control with the referee getting nailed in the first minute followed by it being taken out of the ring resulting in a tombstone that didn't send him to hell but he was definitely sent crashing down.
"Shotgun Saturday Night" Feb. '97
Hell In A Cell Match: Undertaker vs. Mankind - This was probably the most famous Cell match & the match that launched Mick Foley into wrestling immortality. He was thrown off the cage, through the cage, dropped on thumbtacks twice...this was the beating of the lifetime with Terry Funk getting involved at one point & getting chokeslammed out of his shoes.
King Of The Ring '98
[Tombstone: History Of The Undertaker; Mick Foley's Greatest Hits & Misses]
WWE Hardcore Champion Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman - This was only memorable for one thing...Shane McMahon's falling backward from the top of the SummerSlam stage. The rest of the match was just Blackman battling Test & Albert while Shane was trying to get his cheap shots in whenever he wasn't running away from Blackman.
SummerSlam '00
[WWF Hardcore]
T.L.C. II Match: WWE Tag Team Championship Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian - TLC II followed the same patterns as their previous ladder matches with the exception this time being the involvement of Lita, Rhyno, and Spike Dudley. This match has the highlight reel of Edge (off the top of the ladder) spearing Jeff Hardy (who was hanging from the belt hooks) all the way to the floor that WWE still uses in some promotional videos today.
WrestleMania X-7
[The Ladder Match; Hardy Boyz: Leap Of Faith]
Street Fight Match: Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon - This match was one of the matches of the year as these two delivered such an amazing performance that it ended up injuring both men for at least a month afterwards such as Shane McMahon being constantly thrown into the glass stage walls that had no give resulting in him landing on his head. This had something for everyone's taste. Brawling, weapons, high impact moves, storytelling...and even some amateur wrestling. I consider this a lost classic that's not finally made it's way onto a DVD set.
King Of The Ring '01
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show - Brock Lesnar was one of the people who is able to bring out the best quality that Big Show has based off their previous encounters but this was one of those cases where something had to give...but nobody expected WHAT did end up giving away.
"SmackDown" June '03
[Brock Lesnar: Here Comes The Pain]
Concrete Crypt Match: Undertaker vs. Dudley Boyz - Wrestlecrap at it's finest as Undertaker for the most part beat up the WWE Tag Team Champions with Paul Heyman running his mouth non-stop for most of the match until the end when Taker won the match & scared off Heyman & ended up burying Paul Bearer in the concrete himself. This is one of those matches & moments that should be forgotten, not remembered.
Great American Bash '04
[Undertaker's Deadliest Matches]
WWE Champion John Cena vs. Edge - Edge earns his nickname "the ultimate opportunist" here as he cashed in his "Money In The Bank" at the right time to finally win the WWE Championship.
New Year's Revolution '06
[Edge: Decade Of Decadence; Satan's Prison: Elimination Chamber Anthology]
Hardcore Match: Mick Foley vs. Edge - This was about Mick Foley getting his "WrestleMania moment" and he did because I felt like this was the best match of the night & one of the best hardcore matches in WWE history. Lita getting a barb-wired Mr. Socko & the spear though the flaming table at the end is really something that has to be seen.
WrestleMania 22
[Edge: Decade Of Decadence; Mick Foley's Greatest Hits & Misses: Hardcore Edition]
(Blu-Ray) WWE Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton - Don't let the title fool you because Randy Orton had no intentions of winning the Intercontinental Championship here but everything that happened after the match is more memorable here as we saw the biggest swanton bomb Hardy has ever given in WWE.
"RAW" Jan. '08
[Jeff Hardy: My Life, My Rules]
(Blu-Ray) World Champion Edge vs. John Cena vs. Big Show - As usual, Cena had quite an entrance as it was an almost scary sight seeing that many John Cena's and I even joked with my friends saying that it was the "Cena Clux Clan"...will the real Slim Shady please stand up? All three men put in a good performance here with various highlights featured the Guerrero's getting involved & Big Show putting in a dominate performance along with doing a classic Andre The Giant spot, and Cena showing strength lifting Edge & Show on his shoulders at the same time. This was one of those main events were it solid & had some fun moments that surpassed all the buildup going into it (thought the storyline was pretty weak myself) but it wasn't the best match each man has had against each other.
WrestleMania 25
(Blu-Ray) John Cena vs. C.M. Punk - Long before they would have their more famous battles over the WWE Championship, they met here in a match on RAW that's more famous for how they were in the wrong place at the wrong time as a group of rookies decided to make an impact that left a lasting impression.
"RAW" June '10
Other DVD extras include outtakes of Jerry Lawler's comments on events, Roddy Piper cutting Haiti Kid's hair, Jake Roberts' snake biting Randy Savage, The Rockers' breakup on the Barber Shop, Stone Cold stuns Vince McMahon for the first time, Zamboni 3:16, Austin drives a beer truck into RAW, Big Boss Man at the funeral for Big Show's father, Kurt Angle's Milk Truck, Austin & Booker T brawling in a supermarket, Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel with Trish & Lita, Vince McMahon's limo explosion, and Jeff Hardy on The Cutting Edge on the Blu-Ray edition.
In the end, it was a good countdown as some moments made me laugh while others really made me go "OMG!" along with reminding me of some incidents I completely forgot about. There are some DVD repeats on here but I'm not going to complain because some of the releases were so old (going back to almost a decade ago) that they needed to be put out there again to enjoy. Some incidents I felt like shouldn't have been on here at all (Cena picking up Edge & Show wasn't that special to me plus did I need to be reminded of Tim White's suicide attempts?) & I personally wouldn't have put them in the order they did but at the same time, I'm glad incidents from the different eras of WWE were spread all throughout the countdown from top to bottom. It's a good highlight reel which was the point of this presentation so it's something I would recommend...just wish they would have let Joey Styles host the set as this is his catchphrase.
