---------------------------------------------------------- WWE Cyber Sunday 2008 DVD Review ----------------------------------------------------------
It was the night of the 26th of October of 2008 and I was awake and ready for another fantastic World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) pay per view event of the year. That exiting night was the night of the annual event of Cyber Sunday.
What Is WWE and Cyber Sunday?
If you do not know already that the WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment, which is a sports entertainment company which deals with wrestling, you do now. In my opinion, the WWE is the most successful wrestling companies of all time, with it's availability of shows in almost every country. It is extremely popular everywhere and I am certainly a big fan.
The WWE is split up into three brands on TV, Raw, Smackdown, and ECW. Raw is live on Monday nights. It features the Women's championship, World Heavyweight championship, and the Intercontinental championship. Smackdown features the WWE championship, the United States championship, the WWE Tag Team championship, and the Divas championship.
ECW , which stands for Extreme Championship Wrestling, with it's hardcore background features the ECW World championship, and the World Tag Team championship. My overall favorite brand is definitely Smackdown. I like Raw and ECW but Raw get's on my nerves with storylines sometimes and ECW has too little superstars on the roster.
In the WWE, or in every single wrestling promotions, there are gimmicks which are the things that make the characters who they are. Like you have The Undertakers gimmick from Smackdown , and of course that isn't his real name. My favorite gimmick is definitely Santino Marella's. His wrestling isn't great but he is hilarious , and that is part of his portrayed character.
Cyber
Sunday is an annual pay per view event produced by the WWE in October and that is what this review is all about! Cyber Sunday is the only event allowing fans to text or go online to vote for their choice of match stipulation, or to choose an opponent for a superstar. The event is interesting and I am surprised at the amounts of votes for different people or stipulations, which make the event exiting!.
The Matches
At this year's Cyber Sunday there were seven exiting matches to watch. The first match was -
Kane is a massive WWE superstar who recently revealed that he had held Rey hostage and his mask was in his bag he carried to the ring each match. Kane was finally forced to remove the contents of the bag and then we , the WWE universe learned it was Rey Mysterio's mask.
Now these two superstars meet in the ring. Kane is a an over six foot monster like man who faces Rey Mysterio, a much shorter, quick paced, luchador from Mexico. Who will win this David and Goliath like match? And will it be a No Holds Barred, Two Out Of Three Falls , Or A Falls Count Anywhere match chosen by the WWE universe?...
The second match of the night was -
Matt Hardy VS ( Chosen Opponent for the ECW Championship).
Matt Hardy who is a very successful superstar and one of the greatest tag team champions in history with his brother Jeff Hardy. Now Matt Hardy has to defend his prized ECW Championship against either Finlay, Evan Bourne or Mark Henry. Finlay is a man who never gives up a fight , but he has went a little soft since his " Son " Hornswoggle has joined him , so will he be able to pick up the votes and the win for this match.
Evan Bourne is an amazing athlete who is also loved by the fans. He is so exiting so will he be voted in, but will he manage to capture the title? The Worlds Strongest Man Mark Henry is another candidate who has held the title before will his power and dominance let him win the title once again? So who will win this contest? There's only one proper way to find out...
The third match of the night was -
A Tag Team match. The choice is between John Morrison and The Miz to face Cryme Tyme , Kofi Kingston and CM Punk to face Priceless for the World Tag Team Championship, or to see Mickie James and Jamie Noble face William Regal and Layla.
Will the loudmouth team of Miz and Morrision face the sneaky team of the powerful Shad and Speedy JTG of Cryme Tyme, Or will CM Punk and Kingston finally get a shot at the Tag Team Gold? Will William Regal and the lovely Layla get their hands on Noble and Mickie James in an inter gender contest, of course this DVD will explain everything!!!...
The fourth match of the night was -
Santino Marella VS ( Chosen Opponent).
This night Santino would go on to defend his Intercontinental title against either , Honky Tonk Man , who's record of championship length Santino was attempting to break, Rowdy Roddy Piper, or Goldust, all former Intercontinental champions. Would Santino be unfortunate enough to face the Honky Tonk man's Shake, Rattle Roll finisher? Or Roddy Piper's deadly sleeper hold? Or maybe even Goldust's final cut to win the championship? Or will he end up facing all three moves in the end? You must be desperate to watch and find out by now...
These two colossal like men have been in such a big feud lately and they finally meet at Cyber Sunday where the fan's get to choose if they meet in a Last Man Standing match, an I Quit match, or a knockout match. The last time these two faced , Big Show knocked The Undertaker out cold so could The Big Show have an advantage if the match was a knockout match?
The Undertaker is known to be a very dominant superstar, especially in Last Man Standing matches, for instance he was the first to defeat the 7 foot 3 Great Khali in one so what's to say this isn't already an advantage? Of course, if it is an " I Quit " match which means superstars will give up and will leave their brand of wrestling for good, wouldn't be great for either of these two monsters...
Now, the WWE Universe get to decide whether Triple H , the WWE Champion should face the Moscow Mauler Vladimir Kozlov for the WWE Title, The Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy for the title, or both Kozlov and Hardy in a title defense bout.
Triple H has been a great champion since winning the title from Randy Orton at Backlash in April, and was then drafted to Smackdown where he was even more impressive, but now the big Russian, Vladimir Kozlov is in the way of Triple H keeping the title , as is Jeff Hardy. So who will face Triple H? The Massive Moscow Mauler ? Or my personal favorite Jeff Hardy? There's only one way to find out….
The seventh match of the night was -
Chris Jericho VS Batista ( Special Guest Referee)
Ever since Chris Jericho turned on his fans and captured the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven , Batista has been on Jericho's tail ever since. Chris Jericho made his return in 2007 be trying to capture the WWE title from Randy Orton, but failed.
He has been more impressive as of late, but now The Animal Batista goes against Jericho to attempt to capture the title for the fifth time but will he succeed? The WWE Universe got to vote for either Stone Cold Steve Austin , Shawn Michaels, or Randy Orton to be the referee for the match so who will they pick and who will pick up the major victory?…
There was also a Divas Halloween contest which was between each diva currently in the WWE and fan's got to vote for their favorite, but who will they pick? Find out with this action packed DVD…
Price and Packaging
You can buy this fantastic DVD from any place such as HMV , perhaps Tesco or ASDA or easily online. This DVD retails at around £11.99 which is definitely worth the price for what you receive. The DVD comes in a protective DVD case/cover which tells you of all the matches on the back of the cover, with the Cyber Sunday poster on the front with Raw superstar CM Punk and of course a computer for being an interactive event.
My Opinion & Why You Should Buy
In my honest opinion, this is the best Cyber Sunday I have ever seen. I have seen three and this is by far the best due to great talent putting on fantastic matches and showing amazing moves. The story behind each match is also fantastic and you are always in for s shock at Cyber Sunday due to choices of match type's or opponents. A definite must have for any wrestling fan.
You should definitely buy this if you are a fan of wrestling and haven't already as I assure you it is fantastic, although you may not like love wrestling yet, but if you watch this I am sure it will make you think again about the world of wrestling…
Facts
The theme song for this year's Cyber Sunday was Propane Nightmares - Pendulum. This was the fifth interactive event of the WWE. The venue for the event was Phoenix, Arizona…
