Summary: hbk and the Barber Shop...?
Review: I recently bought the hbk dvd, and from what I just read before making this, I agree some of the matches in hbk's career should have been included. I do have a problem with the dvd set I have, and I'm not sure if anyboy else has, but there is a link titled - "The Barber shop" or something like that on disc 1, and I can't seem to view that segment. Other than that, there are several matches, I'm sure they should have been included.Until later...

Summary: Disapointing
Review: Even if the matches on the DVD are great and complete, I was really disapointed to find no more than 7 matches on a 2-discs DVD set. When you think WWE could manage to put more than 30 matches on Hulk Hogan's DVD (most incomplete, granted) they could have put at the very least 15 matches on this one. After all, HBK had so many great bouts. For exemple, where is the match against Jarrett when he won the IC belt ? That was a real classic. He also had a great match with Flair back in 1992 who belongs, and how many great tag-team matches with the Brainbusters and the Hart Foundation ??? What about his RAW match against Jannetty who was PWI match of the year at the time? At least the opening AWA match was really a nice touch.
All in all, a good DVD who could have been great.

Review: WWE From the Vault - Shawn Michaels
This DVD shows 7 matches that made Shawn Michaels career what it is today. This DVD is also filled with extras such as: pre-match promos, events leading up to matches, after match brawls, and ads for the PPV in which the match was on. But it is definitely the matches that makes this DVD great. AWA Tag-Team Championship Match- In this match him in Marty Janetty team up to take on the AWA tag-team champs in a decent brawl that gets real bloody. This match is significant because it finally gets him noticed and he soon after heads to better days in the WWF. Nothing scientific about this match, mainly just punching and kicking, but a great brawl and a fun match to watch. *** Ladder Match for IC Title- This match comes from WM X against Razor Ramon. Just about every wrestling fan knows about this match and knows how great it was. This match was one of the first of its kind and both comepetitors pulled out all the stops to match this match great. Sick bumps by both Shawn and Razor make it even that much better. A revolutionary match to lead the way for other great ladder matches and hardcore matches. This is definitely the best match on the DVD. No wonder it stole the show that night from Bret and Owens ***** classic. ***** 60 Minute Iron Man Match- This WWF Heavyweight Championship match against Bret Hart comes from Wrestlemania XII. Many fans say this match is boring but they are the fans who don't appreciate true wrestling which is what this match was. Not as good as the Rock-HHH Iron man match but it was still decent.**** No Holds Barred Match- Shawn Michaels first PPV title defense since becoming champion and he goes up against Desiel who is on his way out. Great brawl as Shawn really gets a great match out of Diesel in what is Diesels only great match. ***** WWF Heavy Championship Match- This match comes from IYH: Mind Games against Mick Foley who is playing the character of Mankind. Foley calls this match the finest of his career in his book and it probably would be if not for the blotched ending. ****3/4 Hell in a Cell- In the first ever Hell in a Cell match HBK battles the Undertaker in a great brawl with some sick bumps by HBK. Once again, HBK carries a decent oppenent into a great match with a memorable but bad ending.***** Unsanctioned Street fight- After 4 years of retirement, HBK is ready to step back into the ring again. This time he goes up against friend turned enemy, HHH. This is a decent brawl in which Shawn is trying to prove that he's still the Showstopper. Great match by HBK in his first match out of a 4 year retirement. ***3/4 Bottom Line: The worst match on this DVD is 3 stars!! Go pick this up if u already haven't.

Summary: Excellent DVD that did Shawn justice
Review: Well, this DVD really impressed me. Firstly, it captured what could very well be the best 7 matches of Shawn's career. Let me list them with a bit of a review on them: -AWA Tag Team Championship: This match was put to capture the early Shawn Michaels. This match was mainly old-school, and I found it to be quite entertaining. ***
-Shawn vs. Razor Ramon in the first-ever Ladder match: This is a truly great match. It was the first ladder match and set the stage for many more. It went for 19 minutes, with Razor coming out on top. It didn't have any wild dives, but it was a very well wrestled match. *** 3/4
-Shawn vs. Bret Hart: This match defines technical, old-school wrestling. It was a well-built match with great psychology. The ending was very much breath taking. *** 3/4
-Shawn vs. Kevin Nash: This match was a long brawl. I'm not a big fan of such matches, but I found this one to be fairly entertaining and pretty much was the best effort Shawn could pull out of Kevin Nash. ***
-Shawn vs. Mankind: The fact that Mankind, who had hundreds of amazing bouts, called it his favorite match should tell you everything. They pulled off a truly great match. Even the ending didn't tarnish the memory of that match in my mind. ****
-Shawn vs. Undertaker: The first Hell in a Cell match. In my opinion, this is the best HIAC match so far. It had everything. Good techincal wrestling, good brawling, some pretty nice spots, and a great ending. **** 1/2
-Shawn vs. HHH: This, in my opinion, is the best match on the DVD. The story behind it is great. HHH and HBK have great chemistry together and it was obvious in this match. **** 3/4 The matches were only part of what made this DVD so great. The extras are amazing. The build-ups for each match will really get you in the mood for watching them. The best promos are for the HBK vs. HHH and the HIAC matches. Also, commentary by Shawn Michaels is pretty sweet to set the tone and explain some of the background of the match. Finally, you have the "Before They Were Superstars" of Shawn Michaels. That should help give you a bit of an image on Shawn's life and how he got into pro wrestling. The DVD also includes a video clip "Tell Me A Lie". I found it very emotional. The song was very fitting. In conclusion, I definitely recommend this DVD. It's truly a one of a kind. You will enjoy it immensly.

Summary: A compilation of the best wrestler ever.
Review: This is the best DVD to come from the WWE. Shawn Michaels is without a doubt to me the best performer and wrestler of all time. I have seen most of his matches already but to now have some of his best of DVD is just amazing. I would recommend this to newer WWE fans that have not really seen Shawn before his injury to his back. This is the just non stop action from not only his best matches, but the best matches in the history of pro wrestling. The marathon match with the Hitman is truly great cause its one hour of technical wrestling, which is something that lacks in the sport today. The Hell in the Cell is my favorite cause he takes everything the Undertaker gives out and keeps getting up. This is for the wrestling fan that misses the way it once was, and to see the best at his best.

Summary: My favorite WWE DVD as of yet
Review: Ah, what an amazing compilation of Shawn Michael's greatest matches. Every match on this DVD is an instant classic. Here's a rundown of the matches in paragraph form since I know that's the easiest way to read reviews. - AWA Tag Team Championship An entertaining match. I'd say it's my least favorite out of the entire DVD, but still good. I like it because it eventually turns into a blood bath at the end, which was very uncharacteristic for the AWA at that time.
***1/4 - Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match vs. Razor Ramon at WrestleMania X This match is way ahead of its time. It revolutionized the ladder match as we know it today. Michaels does some amazing maneuvers in this match-up. And I absolutely love the ending, because it was planned out and executed to PERFECTION.
**** - Iron Man Match vs. Bret Hart at WrestleMania XII "The Greatest WM Match of All Time". Nope, sorry. That would go to Rock/Austin from WM 17 or Austin/Bret Hart from WM 13. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I was expecting a spectacular match, and instead got something mediocre. Granted it was a great match, but after all the hype, it just didn't live up for me. I'd watch it again though.
***1/2 - No-Holds-Barred Match vs. Big Daddy Cool Diesel Fun match here. It's like most of the HBK vs. a giant matches. HBK gets his [rear] kicked the whole match, then comes back at the end and picks up the victory. This match marks such spots as the powerbomb through an announcer's table, the first time using a fire extinguisher as a weapon in the WWE, and a prosthetic leg (yeah, a prosthetic leg.) Alternate commentary from HBK and Nash along with The Coach is decent too.
***3/4 - WWE Championship Match vs. Mankind My personal favorite on the entire DVD. Great psychology, execution, and timing. This is the best match of Mick's career, and certainly one of HBK's best too. The end is disappointing, but it's fine because they put on such a great match. There's some nice brawling here, and a good table spot. JR's commentary gets on my nerves though. "Their backs may be broken! Bah GAWD!" Shut up, old man. They fell five feet through an inch-thick table. Yeesh. Other than that, I loved it. Possibly in the top 3 of my favorite matches of all time.
****1/2 - Hell in a Cell vs. Undertaker The debut of the HITC. WWE gives you a nice treat at the beginning where HBK talks about the match and what it meant to him (he does that with all the matches, btw) when they show lots of footage from HBK/HHH/Chyna as DX. That stuff is hilarious. But onto the match. I'd say this is my favorite HITC match of all time. They did everything you're supposed to do. Both men take a good beating, then as a ref opens the door to help a camera man who had his clocked cleaned by Michaels, Michaels himself tries to escape Taker. Both end up on top of the cage, and HBK takes the worst possible way down. Debut of Kane sort of ruins the feeling that this match was all about Michaels-Taker because he comes in, Tombstones Taker, and leaves as HBK picks up the victory. Still a great battle.
**** - Shawn's comeback Non-Sanctioned Match vs. Triple H at SummerSlam 2002 It's weird watching this match, and comparing it to what you just saw before he had injured his back. It really pales in comparison to his earlier work, even though at the time this match was amazing. HBK put up a great effort though with some nice spots, and entertaining the fans. I do compliment JR on his commentary after the end where HHH has just taken out Michaels with a sledgehammer to the back. Not as good as the others on the DVD, but better than what they pulled at Armageddon later that year.
***1/2 The special features are fantastic. Each match has its own section of special features. HBK/Diesel had alternate commentary by the two of them with The Coach, which was cool. Each match has interviews/promos/TV spots leading up to the match. This is good because those of us who didn't watch the WWF back then didn't necessarily know the storyline behind the matches. GREAT job here by the WWE. This is my favorite DVD they've put out so far. I'm not even really that big of an HBK fan and I still thurougly enjoyed this. I'll definately be re-watching the matches over and over. DVD Rating: ****1/2...

Summary: WWE From the Vault - Shawn Michaels
Review: This is an excellent DVD. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and watched it, and it was definetly worth my time and money. It contains seven full-length matches & a lot of extras. It even contains four easter eggs, or hidden extras. Here's a full list of the matches, each with a star rating. AWA Tag Team Championship match
The Rockers vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Summers: This was actually a pretty good tag team matchup, with plenty of great effort from both teams. The heated tension in this match continues to build up and finally turns into an all-out brawl between the two teams! While not match of the year candidate, this match still deserves a good bit of credit. *** Intercontinental Championship Ladder match
Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramond: This was a very exciting ladder match. Both men worked hard & put forth a lot of effort just to make this match a classic. And by all means, they succeeded. This is not my favorite ladder match ever because I have seen better, but it sure is historical. **** WWE Championship Iron Man match
Shawn Michaels vs. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart: Now this is match of the year candidate, folks! This is what professional wrestling is all about. With tons of great submission holds, awesome aerial and technical wrestling tactics, and tremendous athletisicm, you can't get any better than this. ***** No Holds Barred match
Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel: This matchup was quite interesting, with plenty of clean hardcore action and brutality. There was surprisingly NO blood in this physical battle, although it was still pretty violent, especially the part where Diesel powerbombs HBK through the announce table. ***1/4 WWE Championship match
Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind: I agree with Mick. This was definetly the best match of his career, with great psychology, great timing, and tremendous athletisicm. However, the stupid DQ at the end of the match is the only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars. ****1/2 Hell In a Cell match
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker: This was the very first Hell In a Cell match, and it kicks @$$. HBK recieves perhaps the worst beating of his wrestling career. Kane also makes his debut in this bloody matchup. ***** Non-Sanctioned match
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H: This classic match from Summerslam 2002 is absolutely amazing. Infact, this was HBK's memorable comeback match. HBK and Triple H beat the heck out of each other, using various weapons such as garbage cans, a sledgehammer, a ladder, a table, steel chairs, and a leather belt. ***** The bottomline: BUY THIS DVD NOW!!! DON'T BUY IT ON VHS UNLESS YOU WANT NOTHING BUT CLIPS AND HIGHLIGHTS. BUY IT ON DVD AND YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH!!

Summary: The First Real Shawn Michaels Best Of Package
Review: First off, HBK is the one and only true icon in the history of wrestling, period. He is the only wrestler to back his back in a ring(1998 Royal Rumble) and return 4 years later. And this DVD is the best "best of Shawn Michaels" ever. This DVD has all his best know matches. i strongly recommend this to any HBK fan. You are not a true HBK unless you have this. And in closing i will say this DVD is the best release by the WWE yet.
