Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker (3 DVD set)

This DVD is different than other WWE DVD's. There is no documentary. The matches flow from one to the next with a narrator and clips of events that bridge the time between the matches. As far as overdubs go, all the commentary is original but you won't hear Limp Biscuit or Kid Rock on the DVD.

vs. Hogan - This is the match where Undertaker wins the title. While historic, it is not really good. That goes for the rematch on disc 3 also. I recommend skipping both Hogan matches on the DVD set.
vs. Yokozuna - This is a casket match and when it appears Undertaker is about to win, 9 other wrestlers come out to beat him up. He is able to beat them all up until his urn is stolen and opened up. As the green mist spews from the urn, the Undertaker loses his strength and is eventually put in the casket. As he is being wheeled to the back, mist comes out of the casket, he makes a scary speech on the TV monitors and then levitates to the top of the arena. We are now all dumber for knowing this. Recommendation: Skip
vs. Diesel - This is the standard big man vs big man match. It appears Diesel is going to win after giving him the jackknife, but UT does his zombie like sit up and pins him a few minutes later. Recommendation: Watch in fast forward mode

vs. Mankind - There are 3 matches on this set. All 3 are good, but it is the Hell in a Cell match which is the true classic. The 2 bumps Mankind takes at the beginning of this match are legendary. In addition, one of the matches if the first ever buried alive match which is an interesting concept. Recommendation: Watch all 3 matches
vs. Bret Hart - One of the matches is an extra which is not part of the program. The extra match ends with a reversal to the tombstone that causes Bret to get his head stuck in the ropes. The SummerSlam battle has Shawn Michaels as special ref and the stipulation that if Michaels isn't fair to Bret he'd be fired and if Bret lost he'd never wrestle in America again. Recommendation: Watch both matches
vs. Shawn Michaels - Because of the ending to the Bret Hart match they fought at the next PPV. The match was so inconclusive that they had to settle their differences in the first Hell in a Cell match. That match ended due to the interference of the debuting Kane, the Undertaker's long lost brother. Recommendation: Watch both matches

Kane - There are 3 matches on this set. Two of the matches are from WrestleManias and the third is an inferno match. In an inferno match, the ring is surrounded by a wall of fire and the goal of this match is to set your opponent on fire. The Pete Rose segment at WM 14 is not shown on the DVD. Recommendation: Watch the 2 WrestleMania matches in fast forward, watch the Inferno match
The Rock - This match is a wild brawl. Towards the end a cloth filled with ether comes into play. Recommendation: Watch
Austin - The first year of this feud are not mentioned on the DVD. That means no embalming, no buried alive match, no hanging Austin on the symbol. This is a first blood match where if Austin wins Vince is fired and if UT wins, Austin can never get another title match. Heading into the match, both men had recently suffered severe cuts. Recommendation: Watch

Triple H - This is the WrestleMania X-7 battle. The Motorhead intro is not on the disc nor is UT's Limp Biscuit song. The match is a wild brawl that goes all over the Astrodome. Recommendation: Watch
Brock Lesnar - This is a Hell in a Cell match for the title. Going into the match UT had a broken hand. Due to the way he left the WWE, people forget just how good Lesnar was and for a wrestler to have a match like this six months into their career is incredible. Recommendation: Watch
John Cena - This back and forth struggle gets too slow at some points but is enjoyable at some spots. The ending is pretty good. Recommendation: Watch
