Summary: must own
Review: These are for the most part HBK's greatest matches(with the exception of the 1993 vs Marty) The reason it only gets 4 stars is that if you already have the matches on the tapes of the various PPVs the extra's aren't worth it and the picture quality is not amazingly better like it is in the Flair DVD. HBK blatantly lies in his comments about the ladder match saying it was the first in WWF history. He had one with Bret Hart in 1992, you can see it on the tape Smack'em Whack'em. That being said the Ladder match vs Razor is probably the best match in WWF history, and the rest of the matches on this DVD are between 4 and 5 stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: So close to perfection, but not quite.
Review: Finally we have greatness to savor forever in DVD!This compilation is indeed riveting, as it features many of Michaels best matches in his career--from a bloodbath for the AWA Tag Team Championship to his donnybrook with Triple H at Summerslam 2002.All the matches are in their entirety, with Shawn himself introducing each via a short vignette before it. The 2 disc set contains the following matches in this order:

Disc 1
*9-2-86 AWA Tag Team Championship: Midnight Rockers vs Buddy Rose and Doug Summers
*Wrestlemania X--Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon
*Wrestlemania XII--WWF Championship Iron Man Match: Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels
Disc 2
*WWF In Your House--WWF Championship No Holds Barred: Shawn Michaels vs Diesel
*Mind Games--WWF Championship: Shawn Michaels vs Mankind
*Badd Blood--Hell In A Cell: Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels
*Summerslam 2002--Non-sanctioned Streetfight: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels

There are also NUMEROUS extras including promos, match buildups and the like and all of these matches are at least 4 and a half star, if not FIVE star matches. I said though that this DVD was not quite perfect and here is the reason: what few omissions were made are GLARING in their absence. For instance, there is no feature or even an extra on the split of the Rockers, which was a turning point in Shawn's career. Jannety and Michaels had many high quality matches, and none of them are featured here--and neither is most of Michaels work as a heel which was some of his best. He also had some classic title matches that were left out, including his victory over Jeff Jarrett for the I-C title at In Your House 2, his WWF title defense against Davey Boy Smith at King of the Ring 1996, the second ladder match with Razor Ramon at Summerslam 1995, not to mention his victory in the first ever Elimination Chamber match at Survivor Series 2002 for the World Heavyweight Championship. They should also have included the match from Wrestlemania 19 against Chris Jericho and perhaps the biggest omission to me is the lack of a feature allowing Shawn to give his comments and perspective on the now infamous Survior Series screwjob in Montreal in 1997, as well as the rambunctious DX tactics that followed.

All in all, this is a classic and must own DVD for any wrestling fan and especially any Shawn Michaels fan. It does have some omissions that might cause picky fans like myself to muse over, but it does not spoil or take away from how great this really is. Quality matches,great promos and interviews make this a must see. Fine work WWE!!

Summary: Great, but could have been excellent...
Review: Shawn Michaels is one of if not the best wrestler of the 90's and today. This DVD is great. It has plenty of his greatest matches. But there is alot missing that I would have loved to see included...the one match from AWA that was included was not the greatest, I would have loved to see some more of those, his fued with Bret Hart, his Summerslam match with Vader (when Shawn lost his cool), Shawn vs. Jeff Jarret when he won the IC Belt, among alot of other stuff. There was no Rockers footage, no DX footage (when Shawn was just hillarious). His fued with Marty Janetty is the major thing that is missing. They had pleny of 5 star matches, and the fued was great (especcialy when Marty returned and hit Sensational Sherri over the head with the mirror). I know they couldnt put it all on here, but I am hopping for a second volume. But don't get me wrong, this is a great DVD.

I am hoping they do DVD's like this on other stars, like Mick Foley, The Rock and others.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Could have been better
Review: This is a great collection of some of Shawn's best matches. Although I think it could have included much more on the Rockers like the 3 really great matches between the two. He also had some other good matches against Bret Hart, but no match in the history of the WWE compares to HBK vs. Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 19. All in all a good tape, but runs a little below my standards.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: There is only one Shawn Michaels!
Review: This is definitely one of the best DVD releases for the WWE. From the Vault is packed with tons of promos and some of Shawn's best matches. My favorite match on the DVD is his iron man match at Wrestlemania XII, against Bret Hitman Hart. Even though the match is slow at points, it's still a true classic. It was the very first time Michaels won the WWF Title. The Ladder Match and the Hell in a Cell match are also enjoyable. These match types were firsts in the WWE. Shawn is truly the leader of the company, dominating the 90's (even with his back injury) and today, with his 2003 Survivor Series match, and his match coming up with Batista at Armageddon. Shawn was also in the first Elimination Chamber match, which shows Shawn's longevity. This is a must buy for any wrestling fan!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Needs more matches
Review: Even though this set includes the more notable matches HBK has had, I really would've liked to see more matches from the Rockers facing whoever i.e. (Nasty Boys, LOD, Hart Foundation...). Also they missed out on the matches when Shawn was a heel (that was when he was the best). The Iron man match just took up too much space I guess..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nobody lays down for HBK...
Review: If you are a fan of Shawn Michales then this collection is for you. Some of HBK's greatest matches captured here in DVD quality to keep in your collection forever.
I was very pleased with most of the matches presented in this collection. However I thought there were a lot that were missing. I think it should have been a 3 discer just like the upcoming Ric Flair DVD. I was hoping they would include some classic DX moments and other rarer matches like Jeff Jarrett from IYH: 2, and a match from 1995 RAW vs. Owen Hart where Shawn gets knocked out. There was also a match that HBK had with Mankind on RAW or the awesome One Night Only Match vs. The British Bulldog, I could go on and on. It's simple to put PPV matches on there, but how about the stuff that is a little harder to find for the true fans.

Here's to hoping they make a volume 2. Still a good collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I wish I had a DVD player...
Review: Cause the video was great! I can only imagine what the extras on the DVD were like.

This was a very nice set up of matches from early career to 2002. It gave this newbie fan a better idea of where HBK came from.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HBK - Almost Perfect
Review: I just recently purchased this and the interesting thing about it is the fact that I also own many of the PPV events that these matches are on (except for IYH:Mind Games and IYH: Good Friends, Better Enemies).
A WWE fan already knows about HBK and these matches, so I won't rehash them.
The only thing missing from this DVD (which by the way is great with the extra interviews and other stuff) was his 1995 Rumble victory (in which he was the first man in and the last man left) and his IC title match with Double J in 1995. That would have made this a 5-star disc.
As it is, having the ladder match from WM X and the iron-man match from WM XII, the no-holds-barred match with Diesel all in their entirety is great.
A great disc (let's hope this is the first of many of this From the Vault series-HHH, Y2J, Austin, Rock).
