Summary: ummmm this is WRESTLMANIA? It looked like a $30 RAW
Review: With the eception of Austin-Rock I was saddly disappointed. Give Shane-Xpac match credit it was good match and entertaining, and the Triple H turn was good. But everything else was not worth the money. Highly reccomended to rent first before buying.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth The Watch
Review: This DVD was a fantastic entry for the WWF into the DVD market. Most wrestling videos just give the replay of the entire event with a few extra behind the scenes thrown in, but this DVD packs much more then that.

It has quick biographies and photos of all the wrestlers who participated in the event (and even a few who didn't) as well as showing the entire event in high quality footage. The ability to just chapter skip to whatever match you whish to see is incredibly conveninet. Especially when compared to fast forewarding video tapes and wondering exactly where the match actually took place on the card.

In addition to being able to watch just a single match, or the whole un-interrupted event, there is a special section on the DVD which show the build up to the main matches on the PPV. You can see interviews and footage from RAW's which actually show how the match was built up.

The DVD is headlined by an electric performance by Stone Cold and the Rock. A fantastic hard core title match with one of the first wrestling debut's of Shane McMahon. The matches flow smoothly and delivered on some high action spots as well. The performance from everyone involved was top notch as you would expect from such an important wrestling event. The only match that didn't live up to the hype was the Big Bossman Vs. Undertaker Hell In A Cell match. Perhaps a bad gimic for both wrestlers to pull off together.

If you are a wrestling fan at all, watching wrestling on DVD is 100% more satisfying than video tapes. The WWF choose this PPV as their entry into the DVD market for good reason, it's matches, for the most part are crisp and awe inspiring. A must for any true wrestling fan.

Summary: WWF and DVD..Match made in heaven
Review: This is our first taste at a wrestling event on DVD, and I sure hope it wont be the last. The WWF pulls out a stellar DVD with Wrestlemania XV. The picture quality is perfect, and the Dolby 5.1 surround track is incredible. It's seriously like sitting ringside. They didnt dissapoint on Extra's either, it's loaded with behind the scenes clips, fan clips, vidos recapping the historys of the feuds leading up to the Wrestlemania matches, and running commentary by Jim Ross alongside Rock, or Austin, during their title match. I cant wait for the Summerslam DVD.

Summary: WrestleMania 15 the not so ragin' climax
Review: This ppv certainly does not live up to the WrestleMania legacy. Here are some reasons why: 1.) Most of the matches had absolutly no hype to them they were thrown together at the last minute (Test/Dlo vs. Jarret/Hart, or HHH vs. Kane, or Bossman vs. Undertaker) It seemed like most of the matches were named a week or two before the event. 2.) Most of the matches were lackluster: the Hell in a Cell was the worst one of all time, including the ones on Raw. Not to mention the hardcore bout. 3.) Austin in the main event? Although he may be that popular he certainly can't put on a good show, the rock had to carry this one. And who wasn't sick of having Austin Main Event the last 23 out of 26 ppv's. Of course it was not all bad the brawl for all was fun to watch Bart Gunn get knocked out and never show is face in the WWF again. The Main Event was ok just so damn predictable. and the x-pac shane match was good. But watching these newer ppv's just makes me wish they would start selling some ppv's from 95-97 before WWF Home Video published them (Colesium went out of business) now if you want to watch some good ppvs that aren't just slapped together an hour before they go on then you should rent these. Michaels, HArt and other are amazing

Summary: A Must For WWF Fans
Review: The very first thing that struck me about this DVD is the crystal clear picture quality ~ that combined with the surround sound, it's almost like being there. The menu options are fun as well. If you're a Rock or Stone Cold fan, you will no doubt appreciate their individual commentary tracks during their main event match. And if you hadn't been watching WWF prior to this event, there is a menu where you can check out clips of the recent story lines leading up to the matches. There is also a section giving written biographies on your favourite wrestlers and quite an interesting technical aspect from the camera and production crews in "Tech Talk".

The WrestleMania event itself has pretty well been covered by previous reviewers, and we all agree that it was a great Pay-Per-View.

All in all, this DVD is a great buy for wrestling fans, particularly those with a bias towards WWF.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This DVD is sweet!
Review: I found this DVD nothing short of the great entertainers that the WWF are. The only wrestling organization deserving of being put on DVD's. The previous reviewer who wants WCW DVD's is obviously over 60 years of age. So pick it up and experience the World Wrestling Federation on DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME
Review: As always, the WWF is the first to enter new territory. This DVD is awesome. All wrestling fans should buy it! Lets hope for more.

Summary: The Ragin Climax
Review: This ppv was by far the best one that ive ever seen.It was action all the way through.Alot happened,like in the match where Kane had to face HHH Chyna seemed to turn back to DX,but in the European title match when Chyna had the referee distracted,and HHH is in the ring to help his friend X-pac,or is he.HHH delivers A pedigree to X-pac,and pulls shane over him.Then Chyna lets the referee go,Shane picks up the win over X-pac,but HHH,and Chyna have joined the corporation. There is also A tag team title match between Jeff Jarret,Owen Hart vs. d lo Brown,and Test.There is A quite actioning Hardcore title match featuring B.A.Billy Gunn vs.Harcore Holly vs.Al Snow.A four corners elimination match for the intercontinental title with Goldust vs. Val Venis vs. Road Dogg vs. Ken Shamrock.There was A match to see who would be the special guest referee for the main event for the WWF title.The match was Mandkind vs. The Big Show.Mandkind won that match,but for the first time ever Mandkind is carried out on A stretcher to A local hospital,and paul wight is arrested for striking Vince MacMahon.Vince later appoints himself the special guest ref.When Vince gets in the ring as the referee Shawn Michaels comes out,and stops him.The match lasts 30 min.The Rock gets out A somoan drop on Austin,but only gets A two count the Rock gets ticked off at the referee and delivers A rock bottom to him,but when he turns around Austin stunners him and theRock does A backflip and then Austin goes for the cover ,but there is no referee and austin finnally gets a ref. but only gets A two count then they continue.Mandkind comes to referee the match,Austin gets another stunner out,and gets A three to reclaim the WWF title,What A night!

Summary: shopzone advice
Review: Hello, Although I have not seen this DVD (thanks to wwfshopzone.com), I did attend the live event. I loved the live event and do love watching the VHS tape I made of the pay-per-view. I ordered this DVD 2 months ago (that's right TWO months ago) ... I understand that I should be getting it in the next week. Apparently, if I ordered it through Amazon.com I would have had it I don't know how many weeks ago. The reason for writing this message is to implore people NOT to use wwfshopzone.com to order merchandise they can get elsewhere (especially when it's much cheaper elsewhere i.e. Amazon.com) ... I have had nothing but problems and delays every time I order through wwfshopzone.com.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: WWF DVD is ok...but the people want WCW on DVD!
Review: This pay per view card, simply put, wasn't the best that I have seen, but certainly wasn't the worst. The DVD production and sound are very good, however the commentaries of Maivia and Austin are a bit disappointing as they are completly in character and don't provide much real insight into their match that wrestling fans enjoy. From now on I'll wait until WCW begins to produce DVDs of their programs, because they have much better performers, and are much more entertaining to watch.
