Okay I am a rock Fan i admit he is/was the most electrifying man wwe has seen in a while. Here is my issue it is apparent that WWE was lookin to suck the juice from the fact he was at the hall of fame and put out a dvd. This dvd was below wwe standards I mean dam no commentary at all. you got commentary for dam near all the other dvds and none for this one. I am sure not everyone has a bitter taste in their mouth because rock left. Then as someone else said match selection was subpar as was promo selection. If this was a 4 disc dvd with one dedicated to promos and the rest had interviews or commentary from other wrestler it could have got the good old 5 star. Umm wwe See the undertaker dvd, stone cold, even triple h dvds and remeber how it used to be.

This is beyond a wasted effort on the part of the WWE. Aside from the fact that the match selectons are sub-par, anyone who knows anything about the Rock knows that most of his appeal centers around his promos. I really assumed that they would have a disk for just promos, but the few we are given are just under an extras menu. Then the promos we are given do not include ANY of the most famous Rock moments except maybe one or two. This product was obviously made to just suck some money out of the fans with no payoff what so ever; kind of like the current run of WWE programming.

The dumbest lawsuit ever, The World Wildlife Fund suing The World Wrestling Federation, has resulted in some of the most extensive blurring of video and censoring of audio I have ever seen in a WWE DVD release. It's totally distracting if in the middle of a classic Rock promo he gets the "F" in WWF censored out of his speech. Likewise, in the background of the matches you have at least 5-10 spots where the attitude-era WWF logo is being blurred. It takes a lot away from the presentation.
The match selection is great but they included very few of his promos. This is The Rock after all, his promos were half the point I pre-ordered the DVD. But again, there's so much censorship on this DVD that even the promos get ruined.
It's hard to believe The World Wildlife Fund was actually suffering any damages from sharing their initials with the World Wrestling Federation. That lawsuit has effectively ruined the archives of one of the greatest eras in professional wrestling. I will definitely never donate any money to the World Wildlife Fund as a result of all this.

Regardless of how you feel about Dwayne Johnson & his relationship (or lack thereof) with the WWE today & his movie career, nobody can deny that The Rock was without one of the top superstars in WWE's past & has not only made an impact in wrestling (in the ring or on the microphone) & outside of it...to the point where the word "smackdown" is now in the dictionary. This DVD set is a look back at his most of his career through matches & takes the format of Undertaker's in which you don't hear from a narrator instead of The Rock (unlike the other match anthologies released recently).
vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley - The Rock's first title win here against Hunter & what would turn out to be the foreshadowing of one of the biggest feuds in the WWF Attitude Era & The Rock's career.
["RAW" Feb. '97]
WWE Intercontinental Championship Match vs. Owen Hart - Nothing memorable past just a nice solid match between these two.
["RAW" Apr. '98]
King of the Ring Quarterfinal Match vs. Triple H - A rare match in their rivarly that only went around 10 mins. but was a good back & forth match in that time.
["RAW" June '98]
WWE Championship Match (Final Round) vs. Mankind - Jim Ross described it best during the match when saying "The Rock turned it up!" because this was one of the times you saw The Rock get real aggressive in the ring against Mankind along with taking it outside the ring including various moments such as both men using chairs including Rock repeating slamming the chair onto the steel steps which were on top of Mankind & fighting on the announce tables. In the end, The Rock becomes the Corporate Champion using a finish that was complete "deja vu."
[Survivor Series '98]
Last Man Standing Match vs. WWE Champion Mankind - Mankind came into the match with bad knees based off an attack by Rock earlier in the night. They brawled on the floor for most of the match using various weapons including TV monitors, steel steps, and a table which Mankind DDT'd Rock through. Of course this match had it's entertaining moments such as Rock doing commentary & singing "SmackDown Hotel!" while Mankind tried to execute "Mr. Elbow." The ending was a little bit of a jip but the quality is here.
[St. Valentine's Day Massacre '99]
Ladder Match vs. WWE Champion Mankind - This match picked up where the previous one left off with both men going hardcore on each other in & out of the ring using the ladder & chairs with Rock targeting Mankind's hurt leg. This wasn't a "spotfest" type of ladder match but another good encounter in their series.
["RAW" Feb. '99]
WWE Championship/No DQ Match vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - The first of their WrestleMania trilogy of matches that started off with a bang on the floor & through the crowd for the first half of the match before delivering the type of performance that made their rivarly a classic with Mankind making an important cameo.
[WrestleMania XV]
Steel Cage Match vs. Triple H - Just like their earlier King Of The Ring match, it was a short match but real good for what it was.
["RAW" July '99]
w/Mankind vs. World Tag Team Champions Undertaker & Big Show - The birth of the Rock & Sock Connection here as they went on to win the Tag Team titles but besides that, this was nothing special.
["RAW" Aug. '99]
No Holds Barred Match vs. Kane - This match just went over 5 mins. & nothing really noteworthy here.
["SmackDown!" Dec. '99]
vs. WWE Champion Triple H - Rock & Triple H put on a solid encounter (like they usually do) with the addition of Shane as the referee, Vince getting a couple of shots in here & there along with cameos appearences from Stephanie, Linda, Patterson & Brisco, and Stone Cold Steve Austin...this was a wild encounter from start to finish.
[Backlash '00]
WWE Championship/Steel Cage Match vs. Shane McMahon - Eventhough Shane got a few shots in at times, this was mostly dominated by The Rock with Vince, Triple H, and referees Patterson & Brisco trying to help Shane...including using a stick to poke Rock like a shark through the cage.
["RAW" May '00]
vs. WWE Champion Kurt Angle - Kurt came off as ruthless here & even had to have his language censored at one point & delivered one of the Rock's greatest "straight wrestling" matches that went back & forth between both men that didn't depend on brawling outside the ring, or tons of interference. And for those wondering, yes...the ending where Earl Hebner screwed up is still in here.
[No Way Out '01]
(Also available on The Rock: Just Bring It)
vs. WCW Champion Booker T - The people's champion of the WWF meets the guy alot of people concidered the people's champion of WCW...who both just happened to have the same finishing move in the Rock Bottom/Book End. These two had a fast paced match that had some entertaining moments including one where the APA come out & get revenge on Shane McMahon by giving him one of the stiffest lariats I've seen from Bradshaw. This gave the fans what they wanted as The Rock returned & became the WCW Champion.
[SummerSlam '01]
vs. Undisputed WWE Champion Chris Jericho - It wasn't their best encounter (I think that was the No Mercy one months earlier) but a very enjoyable back & forth match between the two.
[Royal Rumble '02]
vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan - In my opinion, this was the last classic Hulk Hogan match I've seen. Hogan brought his A game as did The Rock & the crowd was so heavily into each & every move they made...it made the match seem even better. Words can't do this match justice.
[WrestleMania X8]
(Also available on Hulk Hogan's Anthology)
vs. WWE Undisputed Champion Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle - This was one of those triple threat matches that allows everyone to look strong & showcase their dominance at one point or another. When you mix in The Rock, Kurt Angle, and Undertaker...you will never lose there. One of the best triple threats I've seen. Look out for the opening sequence where Angle wanted Rock & Undertaker to show him some attention...and he damn sure got it along with each man stealing each other's finishers at various times.
[Vengeance '02]
(Also available on "The History Of The WWE Championship")
vs. Eddie Guerrero - Unfortunally they didn't show the pre-match promo where Guerrero was talking about burning his kids poster of The Rock earlier in the night but unlike the Guerrero match on Austin's DVD, this was a very good short encounter between the two wrestlers but look out for the one part Guerrero reversed the Rock Bottom in a way you never saw before...and haven't seen since.
["RAW" July '02]
vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - Out of all the numerous PPV matches they've had against each other...this one was the most entertaining as The Rock was just at his best as a heel in regards to being ruthless (targeting Austin's leg & all the Rock Bottoms) & just asking like an ass (wearing Austin's vest & stealing his finisher). Since this would end up being Austin's last match, this was a classic match to end his career on.
[WrestleMania XIX]
Also the beginning of this DVD, you also get a brief background on his families wrestling history (if you want a more detailed history, check out either the 2008 Hall Of Fame on the WrestleMania XIV or the Most Powerful Families In Wrestling DVD set). DVD extras include highlights of his past one-liners & punchlines along with 16 of his past promos...some of which were on his past DVD releases as well but the difference here being that some are shown in full (like "Thomas Jefferson Sucka!") unlike how they were presented on the other DVD's like "Just Bring It!" and all the commentary is removed from there so you don't hear Jerry Lawler or any of the other commentators during the promos.
The negatives is that with Rock moving on from the WWE that this may be the last DVD set we ever get of him so some matches could have been left off in favor of better performances that were left off like the
Kane & Rock N' Sock match (their Buried Alive match would have been a better selection). Also I don't understand why Triple H didn't have a Rock match on his recent DVD set while this one has 4 of them when the two ones from RAW could have been left off in favor of one of their better performances like their back to back Fully Loaded matches (2 out 3 falls/strap match), the forgotten cage match from the UK only Rebellion PPV, or if there was enough room on the disc...the Ironman match from Judgment Day 2000. But in the end, regardless if you have any other Rock DVD's, this is one collection that I recommend to pick up that will leave you more satified than the movie "Doom" ever will (it's alright Dwayne, everyone acts in at least one crappy movie in their career.)

I know there have been Rock DVDs but none of them are an anthology collection like this one is. From his early years, to his prime all the way to his departure from WWE, this DVD has it all. One of the best is the third disc with all of the best Rock interviews. This is a must have for those wrestling fans.
