DVD Review WWE's Greatest Rivals: Shawn vs Bret

In case you've been living under a rock, or never bothered to learn the history of the WWE, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart had one of the most heated rivalry's, with some of the most amazing matches of all time, which ended in one of, if not THE most controversial moment in WWE History. This 3 disc DVD set tells the story of that rivalry.

Let me start off by saying that this is one of the best DVD sets WWE has ever put out. Disc 1 features a 2 hour interview conducted by good ol' JR in which both men talk about everything from getting to the WWE, starting off in the tag team division, and being friends as they broke out into singles. I will say this as a warning, if you like to believe everything that has been said about how personal this feud was, and how these guys really hated each other, then don't watch this DVD, because up till the end, they admit neither one really had a problem with the other. I won't give away to much, because it really is interesting to watch, I could have sat through a few more hours of them talking, and of course they do cover the Montreal Screw Job in great depth, about 45 minutes is spent on the back story then match and the backlash.

Another reason this is a great DVD set is the comprehensive extras, just about everything is included here including 2 tag team matches The Rockers vs The Hart Foundation, one from MSG the other from Tokyo. The Iron Man match from Wrestlemania 12, Champion vs Champion at Survivor Series 92, The Ladder Match from Wrestling Classic 92, and of course Survivor Series 97. as well as a lot of the promos mentioned in the interview, both men's induction into the Hall of Fame, Bret's return to Raw from 2010, and a really cool collection of the three of them talking between takes. The Blu-Ray has even more features.

All in all this is a definite buy, go out and add this to your collection now.
