Wow. Let me just say that I would like to congratulate TNA for impressing me beyond all belief with almost all of this Pay-Per-View. It’s too bad the Antichrist would enter the promotion just a few weeks later.
When you’re already considered the B-show, it really doesn’t help a lot when your “best of” collection gets the same sort of treatment and certainly doesn’t do much to bring in new fans.
WCW actually held its own for such a long time that it appeared as if they would succeed and prosper over Vince McMahon’s WWE. That would be the “rise,” but it was only a matter of time before things started to go downhill and we would see the “fall.”
The WWE could make me a lot more thankful if they would be willing to head back to their old ways and keep the traditional elimination tag bouts in full swing on each PPV. Either that or the Gooker.
When the ultimate moment is there and you can either continue on in severe pain and torture or relieve yourself of the agony; are you willing to do what it takes? Are you willing to give it all up? Are you going to just finally say the words “I quit” so that you can feel some sort of relief as the pressure is lifted? Or will you continue to fight through and persevere getting pushed as far as you possibly can. Will you move forward and then when you can’t be pushed anymore…realize you’re at your breaking point?
[SummerSlam 2009] should be the PPV event that lets us see some of the greatest matches…sadly this was not the huge missile firework I was hoping it would be.
Volume three of the SummerSlam Anthology is without a doubt the best one so far. Whether the final installment can live up to the hype and outdo this one remains to be seen, but I’m going to honestly have to go with a “negative captain.”
Randy Savage may have gone by different names such as “Macho Man” or “Macho King” and also changed from good guy to bad guy and back again, but one thing about him stayed constant throughout his entire career…the madness.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the WWE’s biggest wrestling event came upon us in April of 2009 and it was an event to honestly be remembered for a long long time. Now it’s come to home video for all to experience and enjoy. Grab yourself a copy, sit down and watch it, and wish you were there just like I was.
There are a few stinkers right in the middle of this volume, but 1997 comes along and really gets things rolling en route to volume three which is sure to be a hell of a lot of fun.
This really is a great collection to have for any wrestling fan and might as well start with the first volume in order to collect them all. Let’s not forget the really awesome theme music that SummerSlam used to have which always gave me chills when that time of year came around.
TNA has some real work to do on the production of their DVD releases because they aren’t just frustrating from a reviewer’s standpoint but also as just a fan and viewer. I hate that the chapters are never properly labeled to find exactly what you’re looking for and hate that the special features’ section is always neglected. But ya know what? TNA may have just released its best DVD release yet with King of the Mountain.
No Way Out is built on the two Elimination Chamber matches and they did their job in presenting entertainment and some great stories leading to WrestleMania. Everything in between was just not that good and that’s a shame because it sucks when a couple hours of boredom is sandwiched by fun.
