Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years

Reviews

I'm so glad I found this series. I also have the first of the t.v. series Lonesome Dove, also purchased through Amazon. These two t.v. series are among my most favorite possessions! I totally recommend them to western fans, especially if you're looking for "clean" shows.

I like these movies, but they were really not anything close to the real lonesome dove movies. If they were trying to portray "Newt" I think they did a bad job. But they were enbtertaining.

My family have watched the newer Lonesome Dove. It was nice to see what had lead up to the ones done with Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. If you enjoyed the newer ones you must see where the story evolved from.

THE DVD PLAYED GOOD BUT THEY CUT SOME OF THE MOVIE AT THE END THAT WAS THE MOVIE MAKERS FAULT NOT THE SELLERS FAULT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE TOLD TO ALL BUYERS OTHER THEN THAT GOOD STUFF.

This is my second purchase of these movies, I purchased this for a friend of mine. They are great and I know they will be enjoyed.

Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows (1998 TV Movie) Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows (1998 TV Movie)

Reviews

HITMAN HART WRESTLING WITH SHADOWS I still remember when this documentary came out right after the Montreal incident that happened to Bret in the WWF. Right after Bret went to WCW this documentary hit the selves, and my brother being the huge Bret Hart fan that he is went and bought the video and the soundtrack to go along with it. I happened to be going through some of his cd's to listen to when I came across this album. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten about this cd, and couldn't believe even more that I had forgotten the documentary. But I'll eventually get to the film later; right now let's concentrate on the soundtrack. 1.HITMAN THEME INTRO-this nice piece of work came from the mind of KEITH SCOTT, I' am guessing he worked for WCW as the music guy since this was Bret's entrance music in WCW. It definitely is off the hook although I still identify Bret with his music from the WWF [WWE], but I like this music almost as much. When he first debuted in WCW with this music it took me a while to get used to it. Also at the end of this it's cool to hear Bret talking about what he believes in and that he won't lie to his fans, also is that JIM ROSS at the end saying "what do you got to do to beat this man", if it is how did they score that over a WCW track.5/5 2.SHARPSHOOTER {BEST OF DA BEST}-it sounds very cool to hear a rap song about Bret especially since hip hop is my favorite type of music. I like how the RASCALZ flipped it with the Hitman influenced beat and the samples of Bret saying "I am the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be". Also it's cool to hear them rapping using metaphors about wrestling and Bret's moves and sloguns.5/5 3.LIE DETECTOR-I `am not really a rock guy as much as I' am a rap guy, but I do keep an open mind and do find some of it very good. This happens to be one of the times I enjoy what I' am hearing, I' am not sure if there was a single to this cd but if there was this would have been a good choice. This song seems like it fits the album to good, as in this could be a song directed at VINCE MCMAHON. Think about it a song about someone lying about something as in the Montreal incident. Also they have a sample of Vince saying Bret's name at the end immediately followed by Bret saying "the key to being a great good guy is being able to work with a great bad guy", any body remember what Vince became in the public's eye after that infamous day. And also the name of the band is DDT, a wrestling move, so obviously they watch wrestling. Since this song happens to be good and I believe that it is a message I'll give it.5/5 4.SUPERBEAST-we follow that one with another rock song, this one by ROB ZOMBIE. Now I am familiar with Mr. Zombie since I am going to school for filmmaking and I love both his films, "THE DEVIL'S REJECTS" is a fav of mine. But long before those days I was following his music video career because his videos were always so creative. I happen to have heard this song before and I think it's pretty good, in fact it is one of the best songs on the cd. Also it is a very hype song, so all those in need of getting hyped up can get with this track.4.5/5 5.SELF APPOINTED LEADER-this is one of those high tempo screaming and yelling rock songs, with the guy just yelling the lyrics. So as for the way the song is sung I can't get with it, but the lyrics are cool if you pay attention, and could be another message directed at Vince. Also I like the beat and melody in this song, if it would have had actually been sung I would have loved it, GOB did ok though.3.5/5 6.HALFWAY-again we have another rock song, this one is easy to follow and has a nice beat. It kinda sounds like a 80's song though, which I guess is cool cause I like it. GLORITONE did a good job with this track.4/5 7.ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE-this one seems a little to happy and upbeat and I've always been a sucker for those, it's ok though and has nice vocals. It's a pretty cool song but I don't remember where the song was on the documentary. As I listened to this song more it kinda grew on me, over all a good song. I was surprised to see that BRYAN ADAMS did this song, I didn't think I would like any thing from him.4.5/5 8.FLAME-another rock song after another seems to be the thing now, and like the others this one is pretty good as far as rock music goes. It really isn't my type of music but this track is kinda cool. I like the way SEBADOH laid this track down, seems like something Cypress Hill could get down on.4.5/5 9.PEPPY ROCK-this song is definitely hip hop influenced with its nice head nodding beat and scratches, the only problem is that the band BTK sounds like a Limp Bizkit rip off. But as far as the song goes it's pretty cool, and like Fred Durst they kinda sing and kinda rap and go back and forth so it's ok. Also there's a nice sample of Bret talking at the end.4/5 10.TOUCH, PEEL & STAND-out of all the songs on here this one could definitely been a single for the album. I like the simplicity of this song, and DAYS OF THE NEW do a great job with this song. I can see a video montage of Bret with this song playing over it; it kinda seems like something Bret would listen to.5/5 11.ORIGANAL SCORE-excellent score for the film, this is a brilliant piece of work that is haunting and enchanting. Definitely a highlight of the soundtrack.5/5 12.RESURRECTION-another great song from this album, like I said I' am not a huge rock fan but I like this song a lot. I love the beat and melody in this song, and the vocals are nice to. This song just sounds like it belongs on the airwaves as a single, MOIST has created an excellent song, plus Bret speaks at the end.5/5 13.SPARKLE & SHINE-this one is a really fast paced song with a hard edge, not that it's bad. Because unlike most songs like this, I like this one. The way the track is put together with all the instruments is excellent, plus it wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought on first inspection that this would be one of those ones were the guy is just screaming on the track, over all a nice song.4.3/5 14.SOFT-this one sounds like it should be a wrestler's entrance music, this also sounds like it could have been a single for the album. SECOND COMING does a pretty good job on this song. The lyrics are cool and the sound of the song is good, so over all a good track.4/5 15.ORIGONAL SCORE-excellent way to end the album here, it kinda reminds me of how Bret left the WWE [WWF at the time]. The smooth guitar mixes well with the other instruments to create this work of art.5/5 This is with out a doubt a very good purchase for any fan of rock music or Bret "Hitman" Hart fan out there.

This CD is awesome! Most CD's have at least a few songs that you skip over but this CD has none (except for the original scores). It has his WCW theme which is impossible to find and other great songs--whether you like rock, metal, or rap. It's an awesome CD to listen to anytime, especially driving or working out.

BRET HART IS THE BEST EVER WRESTLER AND THIS IS THE BEST CD! A MUST BUY. ALL THE TRACKS ARE COOL. IT IS AS GOOD AS WWF AGGRESSION.

If you really love this guy Bret "The Hitman" Hart, then you have to get this cd. His theme in WCW is on this which is hard to find, plus he gives you all of his favorite songs that he has listened to. The movie and the cd are very emotional. You need to get this cd.

This is the sound track to the documentry that shows how underhanded the WWF is, "Hitman Hart Wrestling with Shadows". In this sound track, however, you will hear great theme music from Bret's days in WCW (yes, his WCW theme song is complete and this was a toughy to find by theme traders!). There is also great metal and rap music on it. I'm not much for rap but the songs that are ont his CD are pretty good. It is one of the best CD's I've heard.

Wrestlemania - The Album Wrestlemania - The Album

Reviews

This album may not have that great of songs, but I've had it since it came out way back in 1993. It is great for nostalgic purposes and brings back many memories. It is for long time wrestling fans. What's great about it is that I have it signed by Tatanka when I met him way back then.

To be fair to this CD(I haven't the slightest idea why), I decided to torture myself with this album yet again so I can review it properly. So let the torture begin! Wrestlemania(3:35)-The first track starts off with a bang NOT! Bad, bad promos from wrestlers.I know what you guys must be thinking other than "Walker, what in the world are you doing to yourself by listening to this?" :Why are there wrestling promos in a song,eh? Well, I never said this album had to be well thought out so there. Bad backing locals and bad rapping from God knows who. This is only the beginning friends. Summerslam Jam(3:16)- Wow! This is the most annoying song I've heard in a long,long time. More promos from Bret Hart(my fav. wrestler), Bulldog, Randy Savage, and the Undertaker. Though I like Bret Hart at no time felt any love for this album. The refrain puts me to sleep. Verses from idiotic rapper again. U.S.A.(3:13)-"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan sings this number. I'm beginning to wonder if William Shatner is better. Anyone have a Shatner album I can borrow. Jim does a huge promo(no singing involved thank God) and HOOOS while some people say U.S.A. Extremely redundant and nausiating. Nasty Boys Stomp(3:36)- Obviously the Nasty Boys do this pathetic riff. Ironic, they say '93 is the year of the Nasty's but they were fired before '93 even ended. Continuation of sayings and chanting and singing. Makes me want to cry going any further with this. Pass the hammer so I can end the pain in my head. Never Been A Right Time To Say Goodbye(3:40)- Bret Hart gets to sing a love song. Let's see: (you) Love song, wtf. This song makes me laugh insanely. I don't think that's the reaction they wanted. Poor Bret being forced to do a crappy CD. The Man In Black(3:33)- Undertaker takes the stage with this one. Electric guitar agoing. Clownlike music, I think. My minds shot. Can't possibly go on. Ultimate redundancy here. Speaking From The Heart(3:25)- Macho Man brings us the joy of his pitiful attempt at rapping. Rhyming a 2 year old could do. Raps about the planets and stars for some reason. Maybe he felt he needed to teach us astronomy, I don't know. Tatanka Native American(3:39)- Tatanka Buffalo Tatanka Buffalo. I get it. That's about all the song I remember even as I am listening right now. Tatanka Buffalo. I'm Perfect(3:44)-Mr. Perfect takes center stage on this one. Basically his theme music mixed in with a pathetic dialogue(singing) of Curt"Mr. Perfect" Henning. To say this song sucked is an understatement, but nothing can suck as bad as Savage rapping about the galaxy so maybe the worst of the storm is over. Blasted CD: Why don't you end? Hard Times(3:31)-The Big Bossman finishes this extremely crappy trash. Lame. So much emotion from singer, but also so much crappy lyrics to mess with the brain. Bossman says about 3 lines(thank God). The only problem is it is played over and over like the emotional refrain. YAY! It's finally over. Ironically Simon "American Idol" Cowell was executive producer of this rubbish. Maybe I can get him to sign this.

Reviews

Yeah this PPV gets a bad rap, but it ain't that bad. Sure, the main event is bogus, the Undertaker match isn't as good as it could have been, and the IC championship had one of the worst endings ever to an amazing match. Overall it was pretty fun. Macho Man and Bobby The Brain have some pretty funny banter and the fact its outside is pretty sweet. I'd chose Wrestlemania X over this, but its a must for any fan of the early 90s.

Considered as one of the worst Wrestlemania's, I dug it out to see how bad it was. It's too bad Savage is on commentating rather then wrestling at this event. Tatanka VS Shawn Michaels: When I was young Tatanka was my favorite wrestler. Micheals hit a super kick as Tatanka came off the top rope was a cool moment. The match was slow paced but had its moments. A near twenty minute opener with a bad ending. Steiner Brothers VS Headshrinkers: Thank god they didnt use Bushwhackers or Beverly Brothers. A great tag match and the last few minutes were exciting. Crush VS Doink: Doink could wrestle despite the stupid gimmick. It was a decent feud but I dont remember Crush every winning. The ending was lame. Razor Ramon VS Bob Backund: I'd say a squash match but Backlund did get a few moves in here and there. A fine match with a quick, weird finish. Money Inc VS Mega Maniacs: A typical Hogan tag match, with his partner getting beat and Hogan trying to get in. The match was fine but the ending sucked. Mr Perfect VS Lex Luger: Mr Perfect screws up the prematch interview in a funny moment. A good match even though the ending was a little stupid. HBK attacks Perfect after the match in a violent encounter that was rarely seen back in those days. Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez: Not as bad as I remeber or thought. The ending once again sucked. Bret Hart VS Yokozuna: These two put on a great match; I really liked this feud. Yoko pins Hart after Fuji helps and out comes the man who ruined WWF-Hulk Hogan! Hogan pins Yoko within seconds for the world title in a dumb move. Hogan would be gone from WWF in a matter of months to usher in the new era. A decent WrestleMania that had good matches but the results were disappointing. The main event was good but I hated Hogan winning the title. It was the last of the classic WrestleMaina's as WWF would go on to the new generation within a year.

very sorry wrestlemaina out of all the 22 this one ranks 21st, second to last, not only does Bret get Screwed Beefcake gets screwed also, hart shouldve retianed the title, Hogan and Beefcake with the tag belts wouldve been awesome, horrible undercard only hbk delivered as he carried Tatanka to a good match, this one is very poor, only better than the hideous wm 2000.

1. WWF Championship Match: Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs Razor Ramon. winner: Bret Hart (same as Royal Rumble 93) 2. WWF Tag Team Championship Match: Monet Inc. vs The Mega Powers. winner: Money Inc. (same results as the original) 3. Carreer Match: Ric Flair vs Mr. Perfect. winner: Mr. Perfect. 4. Earthquake vs Yokozuna. winner: Yokozuna. Still The Same Cards. Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez. winner: Undertaker. (same results) 6. WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Shawn Michaels vs Tatanka. Tatanka by DQ. (same results) 7. Steiner Brothers vs The Headshrinkers. winner: The Steiner Brothers. 8. 20 Man Battle Royal. winner: Marty Jannetty. will get any title shot and choose Shawn Michaels.

One of the below average Wrestlemania's I've seen. The only standout matches on this program were Bret vs. Yokozuna and Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka and they both had horrible endings especially Bret's where Hulk Hogan's ego pretty much made this Wrestlemania that much worse. A good key thing for this Wrestlemania was the debut of Jim Ross. I wouldn't mind if Jim Ross, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan commentated for this Wrestlemania as it probably would've made this one better.

Reviews

Summerslam 1993 was built around The Lex Express and how he was going lead WWF into the future. By now you know thats was not the case. Vince McMahon is horrible on commentary as he botches plenty of moves. Razor Ramon VS Ted DiBiase: A short, excellent match up. Ramon was in shape and not a fat, lazy drunk. DiBiase's career would soon be over, which is too bad. He had a great gimmick but WWF choose to kept him as a jobber rather then use his talents. Check this match out. The Steiner Brothers VS Heavenly Bodies: Before Scott was full of steroids, he was a clean cut babyface. Anyways, this match sucked. Shawn Michaels VS Mr Perfect: Could have been a classic but Diesel interferes too much. The ending sucked and I would have prefered a winner. IRS VS 1-2-3 Kid: A quick match that was good while it lasted. Bret Hart VS Doink: It was going be Lawler but he said he was injuried. Bret and Doink have a good match; Hey the first Doink could wrestle a good match. Then Lawler hits Hart with a crutch and costs Doink the match. That leads to Hart VS Lawler and they have a good match but the end result was stupid. Hart used to much pressure on the sharpshooter and gets disqualified. Ludvig Borga VS Marty Jannetty: Anther quick match. Borga looks green and Jannetty gets in some good offense a few times but Borga wins with Luger's finisher. Undertaker VS Giant Gonzales: I dont know what the hell a Rest in Peace match is, but it sucked. Undertaker had some pretty crappy feuds early in his career. Tatanka and Smokin Gunns VS Headshrinkers and Bam Bam Bigelow: A good six man tag with a confusing ending. Lex Luger VS Yokozuna: After months of build up of trying to be the next Hulk Hogan, Luger falls flat on his face. It was a big blunder by WWF by making people buy this event and most people probably thought he was going win the world title. Luger wins via count out in anther crappy main event. I've said in other reviews and i'll say it again-Summerslam had some of the worst main events for a PPV. Anther side note, I understand why Randy Savage left WWF. He was left out of Summerslam 93 and 94, doing nothing but being a interviewer. Why did Vince McMahon do this to Savage? We'll never know. I'd love to see Savage back on WWE tv, he was such a great talent. This event sucked. The first match was excellent and a few other squash matches were alright. The main event was a joke and The Undertaker was stuck with anther worthless talent.

WWF SummerSlam 1993 8/30/1993 Palace of Auburn Hills,Auburn Michigan On Air Commentators;Vince McMahon,and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan Razor Ramon defeated Ted Dibiase by pinfall after the Razors Edge. WWF Tag Team Championship Match; The Steiner Brothers(Rick and Scott)defeated The Heavenly Bodies to retain the WWF Tag Team Titles. WWF Intercontinental Championship Match; Shawn Michaels w/Diesel defeated Mr.Perfect by countout.(Diesel interferes in the match,and rams Mr.Perfect's head into the ring post causing the countout win for Shawn Michaels.A brawl between Perfect and HBK/Diesel elopes backstage afterwards when Perfect attacks the two). Irwin R.Schyster(I.R.S) defeated The 123 Kid Bret Hart defeated Doink the Clown by disqualification,then Jerry "The King" Lawler defeated Bret Hart by reverse decision.(Jerry "The King" Lawler is supposed to have an scheduled match w/the "Hitman" Bret Hart after the King attacked Bret two months earlier after Bret had won the 1993 King of the Ring but the King comes out on cruches and says he was in an car accident and he can not compete.So Doink the Clown takes his place and as Bret gets the sharpshooter on Doink the "King" attacks Bret w/his crutch.The "King" was obviously faking an "injury".So Bret wins the match by disqualification,and then WWF President Jack Tunney comes out and says tells the King he must wrestle his match against Bret Hart or he will be banned from the WWF.So then the Jerry "The King" Lawler and Bret Hart wrestle and Bret puts The "King" in the sharpshooter submission hold for the win.But Bret wouldnt let go after he was supposed to so the King wins by reverse decision and is crowned The Undisputed King of the Ring). Ludvig Borga defeated Marty Jannetty "Rest in Peace Match" The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeated Giant Gonzales w/Harvey Wippleman in an "Rest In Peace Match". Tatanka and The Smokin Gunns(Billy and Bart) defeated The Headshrinkers(Samu and Fatu)and Bam Bam Bigelow. WWF Championship Match; Lex Luger defeated WWF Champion Yokozuna by countout,but however Luger does not win the WWF Title.(It funny as Im writing this July 4th today,it was 13 years ago today that Lex Luger bodyslammed Yokozuna on the USS Intrepid setting up this match between the two.Luger wins by countout but does'nt win the title.After the match Luger is celebrating w/different wrestlers as if he's done something but yet he didnt win the title.What an idiot!). Overall an ok SummerSlam.The Intercontinental Championship Match was highly anticipated,but it turned out to just be an average match especially w/Mr Perfect in bad shape,The Rest in Peace Match was pretty good,and the WWF Title Match was an good match but still dissapointed on different levels.I also should mention one thing;It was originally suppose to be Hulk Hogan keeping the WWF Title agaisnt Yokozuna at the 1993 King of the Ring,and Bret winning the 1993 King of the Ring(which turned out to be the case)setting up a match between the two and Hogan putting Bret over to officailly start the new WWF era w/Bret Hart in,and Hogan out.But Hogan didnt feel like he should of put Bret over because Bret didnt deserve it.What an jackass!He could of made the best match happen on the biggest p.pv of the year-SummerSlam and he says no and doesnt job as usual!Thanks for killing the buyrates for the p.p.v "Hogan brotha".

1.Razor Ramon vs Ted Dibiase. an ok opener, but I think the 6 man tag should be the opener. 7.5/10 2.WWF Tag Team Championship:Steiner Brothers vs Heavenly Bodies. I didnt have much to say for this match.All I could say its ok. 7/10 3.WWF Intercontinental Championship:Shawn Michaels vs Mr. Perfect. This match wouldve be better if Perfect wins.It will be better than the Main Event. 8/10 4.1-2-3 Kid vs I.R.S. Not interested in this match. 6/10 5.Bret "the hitman" Hart vs Jerry "the king" Lawler. This is an average type of match.Bret should win this match. 7.5/10 6.Ludvig Borga vs Marty Jannetty. I impressed for Ludvig Borga.Got kicked twice but still recovers.I dont really like this match cause Ludvig Borga is mostly dominate in this match. 6/10 7.Rest In Peace Match:Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez. This what I'm talkin about.I only bought this video to see this match.This match was kinda short.Taker wins so weak,a flying clothsline up the top-rope.This match should at least be a casket match. 8/10 8.6 man tag team match:Tatanka & Smokin Gunns vs Bam Bam Bigalow & Head Shrinkers. An ok match with Tatanka pins one of the Shrinkers.He should pin Bam Bam. 7/10 9.WWF Championship:Yokozuna vs Lex Luger. This Match would've be better if Luger wins the title.Luger won by count-out?What's the point of celebrating after the match? I'll would've give this match a 10 if Luger wins,but not. 9/10 I guess they tired ta saved this rivaly for Wrestlemania 10 and they did.But Why Luger lost?What's the point of having another shot and lost?He should've won the Rumble by itself and won title at Wrestlemania and lost to The Hitman on the next PPV.

I collect old wwf movies and wen i ordered summerslam 93 all the reviews were about hogan leavin and lex luger taking over , well lex was never really the main atraction it was always bret hart , undertaker and so on , lex luger only got 2 title shots in the whole time he was in the wwf so he was not really trying to replace hogan i thought. But anyway this was a great summerslam the card line up was good , it had bret hart vs doink , undertaker vs gonzolez and the match i wanted to see luger vs yokozuna for the world title it is a shame luger didnt win the title , and it is a shame he didnt stay with the wwf because i wanted to see him the champion atleast 1 time he had the stuff to be the champ , and i think he could have been maybe as big as hogan but he left. SUMMERSLAM WAS GREAT pic up this video will u still can for 14 bucks before it gets to 50 or 60 dollors.

Reviews

The tenth anniversary of WrestleMania was a mixed bag. Bret Hart VS Owen Hart: A perfect way to start off this event with Owen winning in the end with a roll-up. Doink @ Dink VS Luna @ Bam Bam Bigelow: Ugh, what a crappy match and the ending was bad beyond belief. Randy Savage VS Crush: I remember this feud quite well as McMahon is estatic to see Savage. I wonder what happened between this two anyways but I digress. Crush beats on Savage for the first few minutes but Savage throws salt back in Crush's face and here comes Savage! Mr Fuji dumps water on Crush's face to revive him. It was a very short match but enjoyable. Savage would be gone from WWF not long after this event and never seen in a WWF/WWE ring ever again. Alundra Blayze vs Leilani Kai: Skip Man I hated Vince's forced laughter when he did commentating. Men on a Mission VS Quebecers: Quebecers looked good in this match and Mabel had moments of brilliance. The match ended out of nowhere with a count out. Lex Luger VS Yokozuna with Mr Perfect as Guest ref: Mr. Perfect gets a big ovation for being the ref and got a bigger ovation then Luger. McMahon sells Luger hard and predicts he's going win and usher in the new generation. Luger hits an awesome cross body block from the top rope for a two count and hits a nice elbow but couldnt gain the win. The match then goes into a boring slow pace as Yoko had Luger in a nerve hold for almost five minutes, Yoko throws him to the outside, and locks him in the same nerve hold. Luger finally manages a comeback and hits a forearm but Cornette and Fuji come into the ring. Perfect doesnt make the count and tries to get Cornette up and then Fuji, Luger gets mad and hits Perfect. The match had some good moments in the opening minutes but fell flat due to very long nerve holds appiled by Yokozuna. The ending made no sense whatsoever and McMahon is confused. The crowd chants bulls@&*, probably a first for a WWF/WWE crowd. Earthquake returns and quickly squashes Adam Bomb. Shawn Michaels VS Razor Ramon in a Ladder Match: This match is an all time classic and one WrestleMania moment that is always shown. If you havent watched it yet then your either new to wrestling or living under a rock. A nice video package of Bret Hart is shown before the main event. Yokozuna VS Bret Hart with speical guest ref Roddy Piper: Its funny how they are talking about Hart lost the opening match and it could effect him. I guess they forgot Yokozuna wrestled earlier, McMahon is not as enthused for Bret Hart as he was for Lex Luger. The match is pretty weak and not really main event worthy. Yoko attempts a bonsai drop but falls from the ropes and Hart covers him for the win. McMahon goes off after this win and says the new era is here, considering Yoko is farily new himself it didnt make much sense. If he beat Hogan i'd understand. Overall, a mixed batch of matches. The Owen/Bret and Ladder matchs were show stealers and Macho Man/Crush and M.O.M/Quebecers were decent matches. The two best matches are on other sets so no need to watch this unless you got the anthology.

Wrestlemania X was pretty much average at best believe it or not. Not a lot of the matches were delivering. The Harts and the Ladder match were indeed classics but the other matches wasn't really all that whatsoever. 1. Bret "Hit-man" Hart vs. Owen Hart Now if you want a perfect demostration on what a 5 star match is really like, then this match shows you. You couldn't ask for anything more from this one. The Hart brothers are defiantly talented and they show you what true wrestling is here. Owen was a heel during this time so you expected some dirty tactics from him. Bret was awesome as always. A lot of mat wrestling and some good counters and reversals. Perfect match. Match of the night. 5/5***** 2. Doink & Dink vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & Luna This match was totally for the entertainment value alone. Bam Bam and Doink tryed to make it a match. Not very amusing to me. 2/5 3. Falls Count Anywhere Match "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Crush w/ Mr. Fugi Now the rules of this match aint the standard rules of your regular falls count anywhere match now days. You would have to score a pin fall first anywhere out of the ring and then the opponent would have 60 seconds to get back to the ring before he would be declared the loser. Both men took a little bit of punishment but I think it would have been better just as a regular one on one match. Fugi interferes of course. Something was just missing for me. I don't know what it was but this match just didn't do it for me. A little disappointed in this one. 2.5/5 4. WWE Women's Title Alundra Blaze vs. Leilani Kai This women's match also didn't do it for me either. It had a few nice moves and a counter here and there but not anything worth mentioning. 2/5 5. WWE Tag Team Titles The Quebecers w/ Johnny Polo vs. Man on a Mission This match was fairly decent at best. Mabel pulled off a nice splash on the floor to one of the quebecers. The quebecers also pulled of an impressive double suplex on mabel. The fact is though, you just couldn't really ask for anything more from 2 guys weighing over 400 lbs. and a B tag team. The dq was a saving grace though. 3/5 6. WWE Championship w/ Mr. Perfect as the Special Referee Yokozuna w/ Mr. Fugi & Jim Cornette vs. Lex Luger I don't really have anything worth noting on this one either. It wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't great. It did have a pretty cheap ending with Perfect dqing Luger. Decent match but could have been better. 2.5/5 7. Adam Bomb w/ Harvey Whippleman vs. Earthquake Now I don't know if this match was on the card or not but it was defiantly a 5 minute segment waste of time. Pourly way to set up for the ladder match. 0/5 8. Ladder Match for the Undisputed Intercontinental Title Shawn Michaels w/ Diesel vs. Razor Ramon This is the second classic match on this card worth seeing. These two had a pretty good match before the ladder got introduced. Diesel would soon get ejected after clotheslining Razor. Both men without a doubt took some hard bumps. Michaels utilized some interesting moves with the ladder. Razor got a couple of good shots in too. They brawled a few times while on the ladder. Great match if you haven't seen it already. 4.5/5 9. WWE Championship w/ Roddy Piper as the Special Referee Yokozuna w/ Jim Cornette & Mr. Fugi vs. Bret Hart I do have to say I felt this was much better than their match from Wrestlemania 9. Yoko really dominates the majority of the match. Hart was able to pull off some counters here and there but he also took some hard shots as well from Yoko. It seemed that the Hitman was still feeling the effects from his first match with Owen. Piper kept it interesting too. Hart was also to pull off some moves once he got the advantage. The ending felt a kind of cheap when Yoko "lost" his balance from the second rope. Hart defiantly deserved this one. 3/5 Wrestlemania X is worth a rental at the most only to see the Harts match and the ladder match with the rest of the card aint giving much. Don't invest too much in this one. I would rather and get the anthology set instead of buying this alone if I was yall.

This is often referred to as the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. It definitely has to be in the top 3. From the awesome opener with Bret and Owen Hart facing off in the middle of Madison Sqaure Garden, to the cool ending of the Hitman proudly taking the WWF Championship from Yokozuna, this event packs a sure-fire WWF punch. The Bret/Yoko match is a sort of rematch to their Wrestlemania encounter from the year before. In that match, Yoko takes the title from Bret. But the Canadian legend makes up for it in this March 1994 Garden classic. Yoko defends the title twice in one night thanks to the previous January's Royal Rumble controversy in which both Bret and Lex Luger toppled over the top rope at the same time, being declared co-winners by onscreen WWF President Jack Tunney. Yoko defends the title first against Lex Luger, with Hall Of Famer Mr. Perfect Curt Henning as the special guest ref. Bret gets his shot against Yoko with Roddy Piper as the ref. This Mania also features the first pay-per-view WWF Ladder Match between "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, competing for the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Championship. The WWF also uses an imposter dressed as President Bill Clinton, something they would duplicate at Survivor Series 1995 the next year. It's a pretty funny little angle. All in all, a great Wrestlemania that you need to help make your collection complete.

Three matches carried this event to five stars. Bret/Owen and Shawn/Razor for sheer AWESOMENESS, and Yoko/Bret for historic value and satisfaction. On top of that, the crowd is hot and the pay per view is packed with drama, excitement, and the *big* feeling that the tenth ever Mania should have. Owen vs. Bret - AMAZING technical match that goes back and forth with incredible psychology. There isn't a single rest hold that doesn't have some logic or psychology to it. ***** Doink and Dink vs. Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon - who the HELL booked this crap? Amusing filler, I suppose. Bigelow was one of the hardest-working big men of all time and the WWF trashed him with crap like this. What a shame. * Falls Count Anywhere: Randy Savage vs. Crush - The stipulation here was that after a pinfall, the ref would begin a count to 60. If the pinned man could not make it back to the ring after 60, the match was over. This was Savage's last hurrah in the WWF. Okay enough match, with Savage rightfully getting a victory. **1/4 WWF Women's Title: Leilani Kai vs. Alundra Blayze - I couldn't care less about the women's division, but I always liked Alundra Blayze. She had style. Leilani Kai is old and brings down a decent women's wrestler. * Quebecers vs. Men on a Mission - The Quebecers were really solid workers at this time, but they were put against the abysmal Mabel. They carried this to a decent rating. **3/4 WWF Title Match #1: Yokozuna vs. Lex Luger - TERRIBLE match with a screwjob ending. Yoko holds a vulcan nerve hold to the trapezius of DOOM for about 10-12 solid minutes, with one slight break in the middle of actual wrestling. The ending does provide some really good heat, however, but after this match you're thinking a good PPV has turned horribly mediocre. 1/2*, just for the Lex screwjob Adam Bomb vs. Earthquake - Nice little filler/DUD slipped in there to eat up a minute. Another chapter in the Harvey Whippleman/Howard Finkleman feud. (snicker) Ladder match for the IC title: Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels - IN-FREAKING-CREDIBLE! Just when you thought Owen-Bret was match of the night, these two put on a match unlike anything ever seen in a WWF ring. It's slower than the modern ladder match, so complete idiots who are programmed to salivate over modern matches like Pavlov dogs will say this is subpar. Those people are idiots. There's some PSYCHOLOGY to the slow spots, morons. Two men getting beaten with ladders are SUPPOSED to move slowly after 15-20 minutes of fighting. But I digress. This has some truly great spots and is worth seeing for every reason you would want to see a match. ***** WWF Title match #2: Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna - Mercifully short match with not too much stalling and good psychology by Bret with the selling of his knee injury. The match is a solid *1/2-**, but the historic value of "David" beating "Goliath" makes this match worth about a **** or more. That's right - Bret upsets Yoko to avenge the terrible outcome of the previous year's 'Mania and go on to become one of the greatest WWF Champions of all time. (THE greatest, IMHO) Overall, awesome show. Razor and Shawn get over for their incredible match, and Bret and Owen get over for monumental victories. It gave four of the WWF's most talented workers at the time some palpable prestige, and the wrestling ain't half bad either. Terrific 'Mania.

This event truley was a classic. First with Owen vs Bret! Wow the best technical wrestling since Flair vs. Savage 92"! The ladder match was awsome too. Yoko was in the best condition of his carreer at 560 lbs. Luger vs Yoko - 7/10 Bret vs Yoko 9/10 Ladder Ramon vs Hbk-10/10 and so was Hart vs Hart. I wish undertaker was a part of this classic. I would of let him beat YOKo in the Main Event and have Luger vs Hart for the # 1 contendership!The Tag title match and the Mixed tag were both a waste of my time. Savage vs Crush was different but good and entertaining. Overall a 90% or 9/10- great effort and really showed WCW that WWE was dominate

ok you get 20 matchs on this dvd set. a 1/3 from HBKs tag team days, a 1/3 from his IC title days, and a 1/3 from his world title/being a veteran days. this is a pretty good set. alot of these matchs are not very hard to find on other dvd sets. yet to have them all nice and organized is nice. on all 3disc, it goes-a small interview with M cole, then a match. this is the format through out all of the dvd. the interview sessions are OK. at times its alittle mono tone....kinda comes off strange. thankfully HBK keeps it alive by answering questions out of charector....yet he doesnt go to far into juicy details which is disapointing. as far as matchs, you got tag matchs vs the hart foundation,singles vs 123kid,a raw is war match vs foley,IC title match vs bret,casket match vs undertaker,WM 19 vs jericho,unforgiven vs jericho,and of course WM25 vs undertaker. this really is a good WWE dvd. i suggest as a HBK fan this dvd for good ol HBK matchs, and then heartbreak and triumph for the good story on HBKs career. those two dvds combined=all you need in your HBK libary.

I hope people from WWE read these reviews because I would really like for them to know that I love the format that used to put this DVD together. There is no documentary, instead Shawn sits down with Michael Cole and is interviewed about his career and what the circumstances were behind each match selected for this DVD. I loved it, it reminded me of the Legends of Wrestling Roundtable discussions shown on WWE 24/7. Do they touch on the most important parts of Shawn's career? No, but that's due to the match selection. A good example of this is how they mention Montreal in one sentence, and that's it, they didn't dedicate any time to that subject because the match isn't on this set. But what they do discuss is excellent. I love to see wrestlers reflecting on their careers, and doing it in an honest way where they focus on reality and not the storyline aspects. If I want the storyline version, I'll watch the matches and interviews from the shows, so this is great. I would love to see Bret Hart, Chris Jericho and especially Undertaker do a similar DVD set like this. If you think this latest DVD set of Shawn is overkill and you're thinking of passing on it, don't! This DVD is worth every penny for the interview segments, the matches are just an added bonus. Some of the interview segments are short, others are long, but I thought they were all very informative and didn't want the DVD to end. As far as the matches go, there are some real classics on this set. One of my favorites happens to be Shawn vs the Bulldog for the European Title from One Night Only. The crowd heat for this match is the kind of thing promoters wish they could generate today. It's phenomenal to say the least! Other people have listed the complete match listing, so I'll just list my favorites and say that I can't recommend this set enough. Favorite Matches: 1. Shawn vs Undertaker - WM 25 2. Shawn vs Bulldog - One Night Only 3. Shawn vs Jericho - WM 19 4. Shawn vs Hitman - IC Title from Canada 5. Shawn vs 1-2-3 Kid - Raw 6. Shawn vs Mankind - Raw 7. Shawn vs Angle - WM 21 8. Shawn vs Triple H - Boot Camp match Raw 9. Shawn vs Undertaker - Casket match from Royal Rumble

I pre-ordered this product, and I own the other two HBK dvd's, which are both excellent, which great memorable classic matches. HBK is truly the greatest in ring performer and never fails to disappoint and always deliver!! I'll update my review when I see all the matches. I highly recommend you purchase this. It has more than 20 of HBK's matches, and they all look great!! I haven't seen the now classic Wrestlemania 25 match, so I'm pretty excited. So read again in the future for the updates.

Shawn Michaels is undeniably one of the greatest wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots. As a big fan of Shawn Michaels, I am glad to see that another DVD release is coming out! Although there are many excellent pro wrestlers...Shawn Michaels is and always will be the greatest entertainer that pro wrestling has ever seen! He is the show stopper...the main event...the icon...Mr. Wrestlemania! The heartbreak kid is simply the best!

Mr. WrestleMania Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 25 April 5, 2009 This match ALONE is more than enough to buy this DVD. I rented the Wrestlemania Pay-per-view just to see it and that was about $50 so I am more than willing to buy this for about $20-30. It has everything a great match needs and it is a long match but it keep your interest the whole time. This match was way better than the main event that night. BUY IT!

Reviews

really good dvd.... only thing i dindt like it didnt play in my blu RAY Player ig uess its a differant type of disc? i dont know.. but it pl ayed in my region free dvd player fine :p

i have watched this documentary over and over it never gets old. bret hart was my favorite wrestler growing up and to see his career in the wwf end like it did was truly heartbreaking. wrestling with shadows is a movie about what goes on behind the curtain,how match outcomes are determined etc.. its a story of loyalty and betrayal. a must have for any wrestling fan. i also enjoyed the bonus dvd the life and death of owen hart it takes you through his whole career leading up to the circumstances surrounding his untimely death in 1999.it was shorter than bret's but i still enjoyed it.

This is the best movie ever made about wrestling. However, Bret Hart made his first apperarance in a WWF ring last night since the screw job, and he lets Vince kick him in the gut? Bret, I was gonna buy your book anyway, do you have to let the devil himself promote it? And humiliate you again in the ring? I hope you got at least a million to do it.....I'm not too happy. WWF sucks now without Bret, Austin and Hogan, I'm really glad now that I don't watch it no more.

I have been looking forward to watching this for quite some time now; the documentary "wrestling with shadows" is fascinating enough. I've got to say though, that Bret comes off as being very bitter and full of regret; not the best way for people to remember one of the all time greats. The drama and politicing are very interesting and provide lots of insight into the wrestling biz, but I can't help but feeling that this is a bitter propaganda piece meant to smear Vinnie Mac. The real heart of this set comes through in disc 2, which chronicles the life and death of Owen. It also features interviews with the filmaker and Bret from 10 years after the movie release, which shows Bret in a much more thoughtful (and less bitter) light. A word of warning: this movie is a DVD-R; worth every penny for a die-hard fan, but non-collectors may be a bit put off.

I am a pleased owner of this two disc set and its an amazing documentary. I love documentaries and this is one of my all time favorite films. I don't want to get into a debate of wrestling and its sub plots but lets suffice to say this exposes much of the hype and behind the scenes politics. The back stabbing that went on during this period are legendary in wrestling circles and the actors/athletes that double crossed Brett Hart went on to make a fortune in the game which shows you how little honor has to do with anything anymore. The bonus disc on his brother Owen who tragically died in a poorly planned and ridiculously dangerous stunt in conjunction with another event could be of interest again to non wrestling fans. I can't recommend this highly enough truly a 5 star film.

I bought these for Christmas for my college student granddaughter at her request. She is very pleased!

I have all of the Simpsons DVD's that are available to buy currently, and one is better than the next! I love every one of them!

O-K, season 8 is a GREAT season- and although I was never one to care much about DVD extras, I have to say that I LOVE the commentaries on all Simpsons episodes. With other shows, if you listen to a commentary, you listen once and that's more than enough- but with the Simpsons, I enjoy the commentaries as much as the episodes, and, I can unashamedly say that I have listened to every commentary twice now, and will continue to listen to them every time I go through the series!. My one complaint is that on a few of this season's commentaries, one of the crew members brought his young children to the recording session. Now come on, who the heck wants to listen to some 5 year-old asking childish questions during a commentary which I'm sure is made for adults? Lets hope they never do that again. I love the commentaries, and I love the fact that there is a commentary for every episode....but please, keep the kids at home, guys. They may be cute to you, if you're their parent, but to viewers such as myself, they're just annoying and a waste of valuable time. Season 8 is one of the best seasons, in my opinions...but it is one of the worst as far as the commentaries go- between the kids at the commentary sessions, and Yeardley Smith on a lot of the commentaries (Hate to say it, but she is isn't very bright- and asks a lot of stupid questions) these commentaries just aren't of the same quality as are the ones on the other seasons. (Someone even had the gall to bring in a BABY while recording a commentary- luckily, they had the sense to remove it from the room early on.) I just don't know what some people are thinking. But despite these little annoyances, this is a great season and overall, I am still grateful for having commentaries on every episode! These Simpson DVD sets are SO worth the money.

Great. Got these for my brother-in-law as a Christmas gift. He loves watching them with his four sons who are now into them.

Another worthwhile season of The Simpsons on DVD. Don't hesitate to buy it, especially if you are a big fan of the Mr. Sparkle episode!

Simply put, The Best book out there if you want to see how pro wrestling was & is today.

I am a big wrestling fan, so I have read many books by Wrestlers or the sport of Wrestling, and I found this book to the best. It tells the true side of wrestlers good and bad. Shows how life on the road (back then) was not what we know or think we know today. If your looking for a wrestling book to tell the truth about life of a wrestler you have to read this one. It will open your eyes to the real hardships of wrestling. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of the wrestlers he talks about and I have heard lots of stories of being on the road and this books tells all. I know a few things about the wrestling world since I date a wrestler and have been part of some of the shows. Hope to one day meet Bret Hart and say thank you for sharing his life with us. He is "the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be".-(quoted by Ric Flair)

Whereas Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling is a long 500 plus pages, it is indeed a very real account of Bret Hart's career in wrestling. The beginning parts of the book show Bret's humble beginnings. One of twelve children, he was viewed as part of a crazy wrestling family. In a family of that size there were bound to be clashes and a main one started with his sister Ellie which continued into adulthood. Bret's relationships with Diane, Georgia and some of his brothers were not so great either. Nonetheless, when a film career did not originally pan out, Bret was brought into the Stampede Wrestling world where he paid his dues. Eventually Vince McMahon appeared on the scene and thus the long up and down career with the World Wrestling Federation began. It was very interesting to learn about the ups and downs of Bret's early tenure with McMahon. He was insecure if he would stay a part of the then WWF. Nonetheless, Bret had some savvy and his idea of turning heel and being paired with Jim Neidhart proved to be a good career move. Its very interesting to read about the on stage feuds with the British Bulldogs and the details behind the title change. Dynamite Kid was such a big influence to Bret that Dynamite's(Tom)career had many ups and downs. Its kind of sad the way Dynamite faded away into obscurity as he was a true talent for his size. Also interesting was Bret's evolving opinions about Hulk Hogan and negative feelings towards the Ultimate Warrior. He sure was not alone about The Warrior. Also, of great interest was the constant tension between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. At first there was mutual respect. But later on one could sense the general mistrust between the two. Part of the problem was Shawn Michael's rowdy personality coupled with pills vs Bret's more low key demeanor. Mistrust grew and finally the Montreal Screwjob of 1997 caused a huge rift between these two men until possibly a month and a half ago. One wonders how real the makeup on WWE TV between Bret and Shawn was heartfelt. Maybe its part of the storyline. Anyway, the heart of what makes this book great is the very detailed accounts of the WWE(F) lockeroom. Bret covers extensive ground on the major players, mid levels stars and jobbers with honesty. Key matches and moments are outlined very learly where one gets a perfect picture of what was happening inside the ring and out. No other wrestling book covers the details as well as Bret. His feelings towards Shawn are a little biased. But some of it is justified. The issues such as Owen Hart, WCW, Bret's Stroke, Bret's divorce and changes in relationship with Vince McMahon make for a very intersting read. I wish I heard more about the events leading up to mother Helen Hart's death. But much is said about Stu. Its also amazing how Bret has a relatively good relationship with Jim Neidhart while a lousy one with Ellie(Jim's wife and Bret's sister). Would like to know why the relationship was so strained. Whereas the book isn't absolutely perfect, Bret Hart's biography comes very close and excellently executes the life of Bret Hart. Hart does not claim to be a saint. However, he has feelings and emotions and that is a main strong point of this autobiography.

Hart tells as he sees it in his autobiography. He used daily diary entries he created during his career as a primary source which leads to its authenticity. A great look behind the curtain of the world of the squared circle.

Bret Hart is one of the few true icons of professional wrestling. The Hitman is a tireless worker, a flawless technician, and ferociously loyal to a business that's as much about family as showmanship. His name is synonymous with professionalism and skill, and his story is the stuff of wrestling history. In //Hitman//, Bret recounts the maturation of a wrestler, from his early days at Stampede Wrestling, his father's company, through his rise to stardom in the WWF, his ugly public exit from the company, the injury that ended his career, and his journey through personal and professional tragedy. Undoubtedly the highlight of the book is Bret's unflinching look at one of wrestling's greatest scandals, colloquially known as the Montreal Screwjob, offering valuable insight into the players involved and the motivations behind it. But the same brutal honesty pervades the entire book, and it's to Hart's credit that he can look at himself through the same lens as those he finds lacking. There are moments of tenderness and bitter memories alike, but overall, //Hitman// is at once a fitting tribute to a wrestling legend and a sobering look at the ups and downs of a singular business.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the insane world of professional wrestling. The sixth son of legendary Canadian wrestling promoter Stu Hart, Bret Hart was born into wrestling royalty. From his early twenties until he retired at forty-three, Hart kept an audio diary, recording stories of the wrestling life: the relentless travel, the practical jokes, the sex and steroids and cocaine, and the real rivalries (as opposed to the staged ones that unfolded before the fans)...

How dare you insult pro wrestling you *ss.Yes pro wrestling may be fake but then again its not.Every wrestler goes out everyday and perform around the world 365/366 days a year and do their best to entertain the fans.And when a wrestler gets injured that is real because they have to take months off until their body full heals.Ex;Batista(Jan.2006-July 2006 when he returns).So tell me how much fake and acting that is,you dumb mother*ucker! P.S The Bret Hart book is a great book,and Bret Hart is definetly the best there is,the best there was,and the best there ever will be!

Bret Hart is a fake just like all pro wrestling.i cant beleive people actually like this.Its not a sport more like acting.

I'm a big wrestling fan, imagine me getting this book & finding out it is 64 pages long thats right 64 [...] pages for $ 9.00

I have been a Bret Hart fan since 1985 and it's so wonderful to see a book finally released about his incredible life. Bret is such an inspiration to so many people. Although I knew a majority of the facts in the book, there were several things I didn't know about, particularly regarding his career in the late 70s and early 80s. I definitely recommend this book to anybody who is a Hitman fan.

As I am Bret 'Hitman' Hart this book is defiantly a great one to buy. This is a true story of my wrestling career. I'm sure those of you who have purchased this book will have a great time reading it and find out why they call me the 'Hitman'!
