Summary: Oddball marketing decisions....
Review: As someone stated before in a review, the VHS/DVD versions are quite different from each other. I got this tape when it came out in early 2001. Then I got the DVD later on in 2001. The two versions are actually a tad different then each other. The tape's first match is a slightly clipped match from raw is war with Road Dogg and Al Snow going at it in a somewhat good but slow match that ended outside in the snow. The DVD has the first (offical) hardcore match with Mankind going against Ken Shamrock in a better but less violent and humorous match then the other one.In place of the Big Bossman/Al Snow match at Summerslam 1999 is the Hardcore battle royal from wrestlemania 2000 which is very clipped but very good. The Big Bossman/Al snow match is also a good one that includes them brawling into a barfull of people (many people in the bar have WWF shirts and hats on so they know the situation) with Road Dogg behind on commentary. It's a good match but no real hardcore stuff. And as the reviewer also said about the DVD, Tazz is the host of the feature, but on the DVD some of his commentaries are trimmed. I can see why because Tazz didn't do a good job with being a host. No offense to him, but he wasn't good. The other two matches that are included in the feature are a dissapointing match with Al Snow and Hardcore Holly from St. Valentines Day Massacre (it was a bad PPV to boot) and the poor but shocking hardcore match between Shane O Mac and Steve Blackman from Summerslam 2000. The Al Snow/Holly match is slow, long and never seems to really end, there's no real spots besides them battling into a river at a cold temperature and while this happens, Micheal Cole reminds us briefly about the Road Dogg/Al Snow match that's on the VHS tape. The Summerslam contest is a three on one spotfest that really lacks hardcore wrestling. Besides some spots with a strap, kendo stick and some stop signs. Then Shane does one of the most moronic stunts ever in the WWF... He takes a nice long dive off of the titantron to some kinda crate with an air bag underneath then Blackman climbs about 15 feet down the titantron to deliver an elbow drop. Good bumps, bad match to finish off a somewhat impressive feature. Besides the matches I meantioned the tape also contains lots of great insights on the essence of hardcore wrestling. It starts with the question "What is Hardcore?" and shows some insights from some superstars of whom have had some intense matches themselves. Including the Hardy Boys, E and C, Y2J, The Dudley boyz and even Howard Finkle provide some insights on what is Hardcore along with some other superstars. Then moves to Mick Foley's insights on the definition and how he's maintained the sport of hardcore wrestling with a few Al Snow jokes and some commentaries on brief clips from some of his best matches, EVEN, his old stuff with HBK and the Undertaker back in 1996, along with highlights of the sensational Boiler room brawl and the most brutal (my opinion) WWF hardcore match with Mick wrestling as himself against Terry Funk, it's a highlight match there where Mick dismantles poor Terry for no reason, then his hella violent match with Triple H at Royal Rumble 2000 with also gets a 5 minute highlight section later on in the feature. Then the first time we see the hardcore belt when it was given to Mankind from Vinny Mac. Great stuff. While all of the superstars provide commentary it jumps back and fourth with some sped up clips of some brutal highlights and violence from the WWF. Also the question, "Who is Hardcore?" which is a another nice highlight reel with some superstars opinions on some hardcore wrestlers and what they've done. Then goes to a slow and utterly boring womens hardcore match that is totally demeaning against women and isn't hardcore at all until a gratatious stunt at the end. Then on with "Most Hardcore injury" in which some superstars give details on some painful injuries (no real footage included). Mick Foley's been through some 300+ stiches and lots more. Then with a filler 3 minutes gives some more insight on how Hardcore holly broke his arm when Kurt Angle moonsaulted him. Y2J gives some good details only for Tazz our host too make fun of. Then the heavily clipped streetfight from Royal Rumble 2000 with Cactus Jack and Triple H going at it in a brutal and bloody match that is very hard to watch within the first watch. Then the stupid 24/7 rule highlight with Crash (RIP). A few funny moments but this 24/7 crap ruined what the hardcore title was and what hardcore wreslting was. Then on with my favorite insight of the feature called "Most hardcore memory" that goes into some great, great moments with the first TLC match from Summerslam 2000, the falls count anywhere match with Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie from 1997. Y2J's Last man Standing/NO hold Barred contests with Kane and Triple H. Mankind and his HIAC match from KOTR 1998. Then a flashback to Superfly Jimmy Snuka's cage dive and the boot camp match from 1981 with Pat Patterson and Sgt. Slaghter which looks really bloody and very disturbing. Then an APA highlight of their old bar brawls and moments. Just filler there really. The DVD of this feature contains about 20 extra matches. Most are pretty run and entertaining, it's worth it just to get those matcheson the DVD. All in all, it's a good comp with some bad to worse filler matches on the feature but great insights on Hardcore and it really is worth your money. The tape is mainly 30% filler and 70% good stuff. But in the end we're treated to some quality moments and matches.

Summary: Difference between VHS and DVD versions
Review: Firstly I must say that this video/DVD is fantastic. However the biggest problem is in regards to the difference between the DVD and VHS versions. First I bought it on video, then when I saw that the DVD had an extra 20 matches I bought the DVD with the intention of selling my video version. However, I found that there were differences between the actual program on both versions. Instead of the Al Snow vs Road Dogg, and the Boss Man vs Al Snow matches which appear on the VHS version, the DVD has a Mankind vs Ken Shamrock match and a 5 or 6 man (I can't remember which) battle in their place. There is also some of Tazz's talk missing on the DVD. I found this to be dissapointing, as whether you buy the video or DVD, you will still miss out on some good matches. Despite this, it is a very good buy and I shall be keeping both copies.

Summary: Hardcore?
Review: From the moment wwf tried to be hardcore it has just been a joke. Come on al snow vs road dogg is hardcore. Any hardcore fan would laugh at this tape. Money would be better spent on a juggalo championship wrestling tape then this one. If you really want hardcore check out the originators ECW. All the wwf hardcore division is, is a watered down ecw ripoff. Save your money.

Summary: Just another victim of the hardcore revolution!!
Review: Great video! I definitely recomend this. Sometimes WWF videos can prove disappointing, and this looked like it may have ended up being one. It was not in the least disappointing, however. A lot of great hardcore action. Sure, the ECW always did it better, but this is the best stuff the WWF can give you and still be considered family entertainment. Tazz makes a great host and I really think they should push him more than they do. They should especially give him a lot more mic time. Have a nice day.

Summary: pretty weak
Review: hardcore matches are good and this has to be the worst collection of hardcore matches in a long time. Rhyno is'nt on it and he is hardcore, most of the matches consist on al snow vs road dogg or big boss man. most of the matches on the video arent even hardcore matches, you have street fights, no holds barred and tlc matches. The only good thing about this is the streetfight between foley and triple H. That is a fantastic match and worth the whole price it self. If its hardcore your after, your in the wrong federation

Summary: For the true Hardcore Fan
Review: Have you ever just wanted to skip all the boring matches and jump to the table breaking, chair hitting hardcore action, well then this video is for you. This tape includes some of the hardcore greats in the WWF like hardcore holly,al snow,steve blackman and mick foley. The tape goes threw some of the most intense Hardcore moments and you get to talk to some of the wrestlers. You will want to rent this more than once so your better off just buying it because it will be cheaper.

Summary: Great DVD
Review: I got this DVD yesterday after much deliberation. The match that sold me on the idea of buying was Road Dogg vs. Al Snow,a match I was in attendance for in Worcester Mass(The same RAW where Foley won his first world title.) However that match is conspicuous by it's absence as the late great Gorrilla Monsoon used to say. However the other great matches and the insights from the wrestlers more than make up for the fact. The matches on the DVD are incredible though a little short. Overall a great DVD an I'm glad I bought it.

Summary: "Green" or "Hardcore"
Review: I just have one question for anyone who bought this off of this website...Is your dvd called "Green" (if so...why?) or "Hardcore" because I bought this from a local store, and every store that sells them (along with the package itself) says "Hardcore" as the title. Nowhere on my amaray does it say "Green" nor does that title make any sense to me.
