RAW XV DVD Review

There is one thing about this DVD I have heard others complain about. It is that there are too many skits and not enough matches. I disagree with this complaint about the DVD because RAW is the vehicle used to promote the great matches on PPV. If these skits were good enough to make you pay $40 many times throughout the past 15 years, then having the greatest skits put together in one package is well worth the price of this DVD.

Overall Recommendation: This is the DVD set that should have come out five years ago when the WWE celebrated the 10^th anniversary of the show. Obviously, there will be some complaints about what has been left off the DVD but in all fairness, fitting 15 years worth of highlights into only nine hours is a tough task. While there are some things I would have liked to see on this DVD, it would be very hard for take anything off of this DVD. It is very rare when I can say that I watched a nine-hour DVD and didn't hit the fast-forward button once. This DVD is the perfect way to start off any wrestling library.
