Advantages: Very informative, good extra matches
Disadvantages: Vince McMahon

...most talented professional wrestlers the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) has ever taken on, hence his long term tagline 'the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be'.

Advantages: Great main feature, classic matches, no blurring
Disadvantages: Some odd match choices

...to be on most modern WWE DVDs. Disc One The first thing you'll probably want to watch is the main documentary.
