Summary: excellent, with good bonus matches
Review: The WWE Confidential program is a show that tells the behind the scenes stories on many of the major events on WWE history, both current as well as those years in the past. This DVD is the first volume of the best of these stories. The DVD begins with the demise of WCW as a company and how one time hated rival Eric Bischoff was hired by the WWE. Very interesting stuff. We also see the reactions of Vince McMahon and Jim Ross to Steve Austin walking off the job and essentially quitting. There are family stories with Rikishi and all the Samoans in WWF history, and a story about the 3 generations of Orton wrestlers (with Randy Orton being the most recent). There is a little thing on Superfly Jimmy Snuka (as well as a bonus match with Snuka). We see the beautiful house of Trish Stratus, but the most interesting story on this DVD is that of the Montreal incident. The Montreal incident took place at Survivor Series 1997. Bret Hart did not have his contract renewed by the WWF and was leaving the company to wrestle with WCW. He was the champion at the time. He was told to drop the belt at Survivor Series to Shawn Michaels (yes, the results are fixed, if you didn't already know that). Bret said no, he claimed he had partial creative control of his character in his contract, and he refused to drop the belt to HBK (they really didn't like each other). The documentary Wrestling With Shadows gives Bret's side of the story, and shows (Bret was mic'd) Vince McMahon agree that Bret would lose the match, but not the title at Survivor Series and forfeit the title the next night on RAW. Vince doublecrossed him and even though Bret had not lost the match or submitted to the Sharpshooter, the referee called for the bell and awarded the match and the title to Michaels. In the locker room, HBK denied knowing about it, but came clean on Confidential saying that yes, he was a part of the doublecross. Very few people knew about it at the time, but it is the most infamous event in the WWE history. To this day, at WWE events in Montreal, "you screwed Bret" chants pop up. We see the WWE side of the story in this segment, and to be honest, I believe that both Bret and Vince were in the wrong in this whole debacle. DVD extras include:
A classic Jimmy Snuka match (but not the one vs Don Muraco where he leaps from the top of the cage)
Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels, Survivor Series 1997
Bret Hart vs British Bulldog, Summerslam, 1992
Booker T vs Scott Steiner on the last night of WCW Nitro

Summary: At least check it out
Review: The WWE has a storied history, with plenty of classic superstars, fueds, and matches. All are reflected on this DVD.
The WWE put together a good combination on this disc. Included are short histories of Jimmy Snuka, The British Bulldog, and Bobby Heenan. It also goes in depth on the demise of WCW, the infamous night in Montreal where Bret Hart was "screwed", and Steve Austin's problems with the WWE.
Though I think half of the features on here aren't worth much (Trish Stratus' house, Kurt Angle and Amatuer Wrestling) the highlights definately outweigh the lowlights. I loved hearing Chris Jericho, the Big Show, and Booker T talk about leaving WCW.
Where the disc really shines the most though is the extras. The classis Bulldog/Hart match from Wembley Stadium at Summerslam 1992 is the highlight for sure. Also included is the Hart/Michaels match from Survivor Series 1997 where you can literally feel the animosity of everyone involved. If you've never seen this match, you need to.
Why they replaced the Jimmy Snuka cage match with another match, I'll never understand (that match is included on the Bloodbath DVD however), but a gimpse at Snuka is always worthwhile.
Overall, the disc might not be worth buying, unless you really want the two Bret Hart matches. Otherwise, rent it if you can. But make sure you watch these two matches. Memorable stuff.

Summary: Best WWE DVD yet
Review: This is the best WWE DVD. My biggest complaint about the recent WWE DVD's is the total lack of extras (matches leading up to PPV, Raw episodes of impact to the PPV, etc). This DVD has everything and then some. From seeing Kurt Angle doing real amateur wrestling moves at the olympic practice facility, DX invades WCW, to the Classic Vince/Shawn screws Bret storyline in Montreal (match included). DVD contains classic footage of Jimmy Snuka. Nuff said.
