The Story:
This is pretty straightforward, the WWE looks at what they consider the 25 greatest wrestling rivalries in the history of wrestling.
You can argue that some of the placements are wrong... this one was more important/better than that one...
You can argue that there are some rivalries that are just plain missing from this set...
You won't be wrong.
However, for a new fan, here's 25 reasons why fans love watching wrestling.
These were compelling stories, and you'd swear it's... dare I say it...
They. Were. Real!
These guys seemed to not like each other one bit, and that normally spelled magic in the ring.
Each rivalry is accompanied by a WWE personality or talking head that discussed their thoughts on the rivalry.
There are some interesting choices about who is doing the talking. Some obvious, some less so.
Strangely, they do not talk to the combatants in the feud. I'm not sure if it's for better or worse that they did that.
Hey, talk about that time that you really didn't like this guy...
: /
Instead, they use clips and photographs to tell the story and let you feel the feud.
For the ones you've never seen, it's a good representation.
For the ones that you watched, it's like a magic time machine that takes you back and you remember watching it unfold live and brings back some good memories of some great matches.
The only other thing that was a letdown on this set...
The dorky chemistry lab references & hostess.
Otherwise, no complaints.
The countdown is streaming on Netflix as of this writing, if you want to see some of the matches, you'll have to buy or rent the rest of the set.
Final Grade: A-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Someday... ;)
