WWE DVD Review: Top 100
Raw Moments
WWE's flagship TV show
Raw celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and has
notched up over 1000 episodes along the way. It is also reputed to be
the longest-running episodic TV show . That is no mean feat I am sure
you will agree. Since it's debut Raw has been a must-watch show for
wrestling fans young and old.
This 3 disc set offers
us a countdown of the top 100 moments that have been compiled from
those 1000 plus episodes.
Now I am unsure of who
actually chose these moments, but they have chosen wisely on the
whole. There are a few that perhaps seem odd choices and ones that
you personally may not rate as highly. This is as always down to the
individual viewer and not something to sway you from purchasing this
set.
So what can you expect
here? Well first off each moment is presented nicely with a short
introduction by either someone involved in that moment or a figure in
the wrestling industry who it touched in some way.
It may be hard to
believe that it has been 20 years since Raw became part of our staple
wrestling diet, but where would we be without it?
These moments do indeed
capture a plethora of the WWE's finest moments. There are shocks,
laughs, emotional scenes and some outrageous events here. Each one
will ring a bell in your mind and some even warrant a replay or two.
Your reviewer was
especially pleased to see this 100 moments list feature a nice mix of
old school footage alongside more modern ones.
So watch out for 'Stone
Cold' Steve Austin at his peak, DX in full on comedy mode, Santino
and Kozlov having a tea party, Mae Young get powerbombed and the
Stephanie McMahon vegas wedding. We are also treated to Bret Hart's
return to the WWE, Edge's emotional retirement speech and we even get
to see some stars from the now defunct WCW and ECW make their WWE
debuts.
These moments may not
be a definitive guide to the show that is Raw, but they do give you a
broad view of just what this programme has meant to millions of fans
over the last two decades.
Extras wise we are
offered the entire 1000 episode of Raw, which of course features a
wonderful mix of new talent with some ring legends.
Blu-ray buyers will get
an extra 6 Raw moments and a 90 minute Legend Roundtable show on the
subject of Raw. This features Jim Ross, Road Dogg and many more
superstars.
