Summary: Great DVD Set Except...
Review: I love the DVD set. Shawn Michaels is my all-time favorite pro wrestler and he has inspired me to do things I want to do. I do have one problem with the DVD. On the second disc, when you access the hidden clip of the "I've lost my smile" speech, they got the location wrong. The date is right. It was on Thursday, February 13, 1997 for a special Thursday Raw Thursday but it was NOT at the Manhattan Center. It was at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, Massachusetts. I was there so I should know. They also cut out the begining and end and only showed the speech itself. I was a little disapointed since on the original broadcast I was seen when he went around the ring after he finished the interview. Other than that it's perfect. That's the only mistake I found and the only problem I had with it. It's full of stuff that will keep you entertained again and again. I can only say BUY IT!

Summary: a bunch of classic matches
Review: This was not the DVD that I expected. As a fan of Shawn Michaels, I was very happy when I heard that WWE was releasing a DVD set for HBK. I expected that this one would follow the pattern of the other wrestler DVDs where there would be a feature running 60-90 minutes and some bonus matches and promos. This one did not fit the pattern. First off, there is no feature. We do not get Shawn talking about his career and life (which means the segment I was hoping for: Shawn talking about his coming to Christ would not be included). Since there is no feature, this also means that we don't see Shawn's career. I hoped for more with the Rockers, more on his run with D-X and just more of his career as a whole. Instead, this is almost a highlights DVD. There are 7 matches. Shawn gives an introduction to each, some longer than others. It is nice to see Shawn talk about some of his most famous matches. In addition, as extras, there are a whole slew of promos and interview segments during various eras of his career. Most of these deal with the matches on the disc, but some are the important points of his career. We see the incident at the Barber Shop where Shawn throws Marty Jannetty through a window and breaks up the Rockers. We see (as an Easter Egg) Shawn give the "I lost my smile" speech. We see promos leading up to the Iron Man and Ladder matches. We also get the segment from "Before They Were Superstars 2". 1. AWA Tag Team Championship. Shawn and Marty were the Midnight Rockers at the time in the AWA. This match is slower paced, but turned into what has been described as a "blood fest". Both Shawn and Marty wear the "Crimson Mask" by the time the match ends. Not a great match, but it is nice to see some early work by Shawn. 2. Ladder Match: Wrestlemania X. This match was to unify the Intercontinental Championship. For some reason, Shawn had walked off the job for a while (not sure if this was a work or not) and Razor Ramon became the IC champ. Shawn came back with his own title and feuded with Razor. This was one of the first ladder matches in the WWF and set the standard for what would make the careers of The Hardy Boyz and Edge/Christian. This match still holds up as being an interesting, exciting, and all around good match. 3. Iron Man Match: Wrestlemania XII. This match was for the WWF Championship. Bret Hart was the champion and Shawn the hungry young challenger. At this point Bret and Shawn had a pretty good relationship in real life (which would later deteriorate), so this seemed to be a Face Vs Face match. Shawn was known as a high flyer but not yet a mat wrestler. This 1 hour Iron Man match showed that Shawn could go in a technical setting and for a match that lasted an hour, this was a great match. I can see how some people can find the slower pace boring, but in my opinion, this is the bar that any Iron Man match needs to reach. Great match! 4. No Holds Barred: In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies. This was the last match Diesel wrestled in the WWF (excepting perhaps a house show where the Kliq incident happened which resulted in HHH being depushed at King of the Ring) before jumping to WCW. This was the first No Holds Barred match in some time and is the precursor to what would become the Hardcore division. I haven't watched many Kevin Nash matches, but this is a good all around match. This also features an alternate commentary by Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash (they are not in character for the commentary). 5. WWE Championship Match: Mind Games. Mick Foley holds this match up as the greatest he has ever been in. This is a very good match and we have seen Michaels wrestle different styles before and this is another test as Mankind has a very rough style for HBK to wrestle with. They turn in a classic for both wrestlers and this is all together an excellent match. 6. Hell in a Cell: Bad Blood. This was the very first Hell in a Cell match. Once again, HBK gets the call to innovate a new match for the WWF. Once again, HBK lays down a classic match that is one of the best I've seen. This sets the stage for all the violence and big bumps that HIAC is known for. This match is against the Undertaker and also features the debut of Kane. 7. Unsanctioned Streetfight: Summerslam. This is HBK's return match after 4+ years out of the ring. HBK had to retire because of a bad back (he has several discs fused) and I watched this match grimacing with every bump Shawn took hoping that it wouldn't be his last. HBK and HHH exceeded every expectation with the performance that Shawn was able to pull out and this was surely a contender for Match of the Year. Overall, I'm very happy with this DVD. I would have liked more matches (the feud with Jannetty, some more with the Rockers, DX, etc) and a feature on his career, but this is an excellent DVD for any HBK fan. The only drawback is that several matches are on other DVDs (Mind Games, HIAC, Summerslam) that i own. Like i said, a great DVD for a fan of HBK.

Summary: Not a review of Shawn's matches...
Review: This is a review of the format. It's perfect. You get Shawn doing a brief intro on each match, then the full match. There's no 1 hour video on Shawn's favorite barber shop or tattoo parlor like in Rey Mysterio's DVD. If they continue with this format throughout the entire "from the vault" series, I'll buy every one. Let's see Steve Austin, Bret Hart, and Chris Benoit "from the vault" DVDs!

Summary: I am speechless!!
Review: This is truly the greatest DVD I have ever purchased. Shawn Michaels is a legend in the SPORT of Pro Wrestling! This DVD features a number of the matches that made this superstar the greatest in the business. All the matches are intense and full of action. If I could recommend any DVD to anyone, this would be the one! The extras alone are worth the price! All I have to say is Stone Cold eat-your-heart-out, Michaels is the best of all time!!

Summary: Perfect for the HBK fans
Review: This is the first ever DVD/VHS about HBK, and they did a great job. The matches in this thing are shown whole. Here are the matches: AWA Tag Team Championship: Ok match, pretty brutal. ** IC Championship Ladder Match from Wrestlemania X vs Razor Ramon.
This is the match that made history and the careers for many superstars such as the Hardyz. This match is great and pull off great moves for the first ever ladder match. ***** Iron Man Match at WM12 vs. Bret Hart. Most people consider this "the greatest match of all time" or somethin like that, but this match is real boring. About 50 minutes of the match is the same two submissions on each other, but it gets exciting every once in a while. HBK wins the title. *** No-Holds-Barred vs. Diesel. This was a pretty intense match, and possibly Diesel's best match. ***1/2 WWE Championship vs. Mankind. Nuff said, you know this will be good, and it was. **** Hell In A Cell vs. Undertaker. Slow at the beginning, a few good moves here and there, but starts getting real good in the end, and Kane makes his debut there. **** Shawn's Comeback match vs. Triple H from Summerslam 02. Everyone has heard about this match, saying it stole the show, and it did. I bought Summerslam 02 mainly for that match, and now I can watch it on here. HBK proved he "still had it" with some amazing moves in this match, including a body splash thru a table on Triple H. ***** Three hours worth of bonus footage. Trust me, if you're gonna buy the From The Vault HBK home video, buy it for DVD, it has plenty of extras. I don't regret buying this DVD at all, it was worth every penny.
