OMG! - The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History DVD Review

WWE Home Video has counted down the top 50 incidents in their company's history. Some of the incidents were humorous in nature while others featured death-defying stunts. Despite the major differences in the moods that each type of incident created, they all left you shaking your head and wondering what you just witnessed.

Format of the DVD: This set is available as both a 2-disc Blu-ray set and a 3-disc DVD set. This review is for the 3-disc DVD set. Disc One features a countdown of the top 50 incidents in WWE history while discs two and three feature 20 of the matches and segments that were featured in the countdown.

Packaging Issue: Recently, the 3-disc sets have included a chapter listing printed on one of the inside sleeves of the package. This set does not have either that feature or an insert containing this information.

Rating: This set is rated TV-14. Blood is shown unedited and quite a few middle fingers are shown uncensored as they were originally telecast.

The List: If you want to see the list before buying this DVD, I have put it on the following page. Overall, I agree with many of the selections. There are a few I might not have included on the list or placed in different spots, but this is a pretty good list unlike the last joke of a list WWE Home Video made when they counted down the top 50 Superstars.

Thoughts on Disc One: Usually, I'm not a fan of countdown programs but I really enjoyed this one. I was also a fan of the wrestlers discussing the segments as this time they were entertaining as opposed to them saying a variation of the same thing 50 times.

Match & Segment Selections on Discs Two and Three: I have always found it strange that these sets don't just feature the top selections. While numbers 3 and 4 aren't on these discs, several items in the 40s are featured. However, I did enjoy the items that were selected. My biggest issue with this set is that not enough of these clips and matches were featured. Another huge issue is that most of the matches on this DVD set have already been featured on other non-PPV DVD sets.

Overall Recommendation: A recurring issue for WWE DVD sets that are also released on Blu-ray is that the DVD customer is getting hornswoggled. The back of the box lists an approximate running time of 9 hours. In reality, the running time of this set (excluding previews and the PSA) is approximately 6.5 hours. While I really enjoyed this DVD set, I can't give an enthusiastic thumb's up to it when there was so much more room for more stuff to be on this DVD.

The bolded items listed below represent matches while the unbolded items are non-match segments. For matches that are available on other compilation DVDs, I will note the DVD it is also available on in parenthesis and italics.
