Summary: Great Feature, but Worthless as a DVD?
Review: "Austin vs. McMahon: The Whole True Story" is an 80 minute feature that chronicles the legendary "Austin vs. McMahon" feud that jettisoned the World Wrestling Federation back to the top of American pop culture in the late 1990s. Through various interviews with WWF officials and "documentary" like coverage, it recounts the entire initial feud from the Fall of 1997 to its ending in the summer of 1999, highlighting MOST of the key events in the feud including classic promos, matches and backstage vignettes as well as their historical effect on the business and its place in American pop culture.Among the key highlights: 1. His battles with The Rock, Mick Foley, Kane and the Undertaker, the Corporation and the Ministry 2. Classic segments such as the Monster Truck incident, the Beer Truck, the Zamboni, and McMahon's corvette, the "Hostage Taking" and the "Hospital Incident." THE ANALYSIS: The feature is good in that it tried its very best to include EVERYTHING. The downsides, in my opinion, were the pacing of the video. A lot of the key angles were not covered until the last 20 minutes of the video. The majority of the beginning seemed to be filled with a lot of useless filler, particularly the interviews with certain WWF officials. Also, the thing that I personally could have done without was the "Documentary Narrator voice" which just seemed to kill the "feel" of the video for me. It seems like it was over pushed as a big "formal" type of documentary that you'd see on A&E or The Discovery Channel or TLC or something like that. THE DVD: Honestly, the DVD itself has got to be one of the most crappiest DVDs WWF Home Video has ever put out!!! It contains NO special features which while a crime isn't that bad, because other DVDs have been released with no special features. The CAPITAL offense though is that the DVD does not even have anything as much as chapter or title breaks/selections!!! No navigation to speak of. It's basically the WWF burning the original VHS version (released in 1999) to DVD as is!!! Goodness, AT LEAST dress it up a little by breaking it into chapters!!! (A bonus match or two would have also been nice). At the very least, the legendary feud is hereby preserved for "digital posterity" if nothing else. THE VERDICT: While the DVD sucks, the feature itself is worth the view and the purchase. This is after all, "THE GREATEST FEUD IN MODERN WRESTLING." If you tuned into wrestling after it was over, this is a great recap of it. If you lived through the Austin vs. McMahon feud (like me) then this is a great collection that recaps the feud in all (or most of it anyway) its glory. Highly Recommended.

Summary: A glorified thumbnail sketch of wrestling's greatest feud
Review: I'll readily admit I'm a huge mark for Stone Cold Steve Austin, so "Austin vs. McMahon" was bound to show up on my video shelf. The tape is comprised mostly of footage from past "Raws" and Pay-Per-Views with inteviews spliced throughout. It's a great video, but I'll agree that at 60 minutes, it's too short. The feud lasted almost 2 years, and there's every reason to assume it will re-ingnite now that Austin is back from neck surgery. It's difficult to compress 2 years of promos, Stunners, swerves, and the like into a one hour videotape, but "Austin vs. McMahon" does a credible job. Still another 30 to 60 minutes would have been nice. A one-on-one interview with McMahon and Stone Cold (a'la "Austin 3:16 Uncensored") could have been included. I'll run the risk of being biased in giving "Austin vs. McMahon" 4 stars, but its short length is the only thing preventing it from getting 5 stars.

Summary: A very nice video
Review: I'm a big fan of WWF home videos, and, having missed the entire Austin-McMahon feud, i found this to be informative and entertaining, especially in light of the upcoming return of Stone Cold. A great bit of WWF history to have on video!

Summary: Too short with too much filler
Review: I've actually seen the entire Austin/McMahon feud from the beginning so when this video came out I knew that I would'nt be seeing anything new. But I was still interested to see all of the memorable events condensed into one tape. But that didn't happen here. Austin vs. McMahon is only a 1 hour tape which makes it virtually impossible to fill their nearly 3 year saga. Also the tape is filled with useless [stuff] like Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Terry Taylor interviews which added nothing good to the video. The video also featured a good match between Cactus Jack and Terry Funk. WHY? This is an Austin/McMahon tape! The WWF also left out a lot of great stuff that should have been on the tape ie, the first time Austin gave Vince a stunner(they were at Madison Square Garden which made it even cooler). All in all this video is good if you haven't seen the whole feud. But if you own the Best of Raw Vol.1, theirs no real point in getting this video because its basically all the same stuff.

Review: If anyone is a fan of the WWF then this video is a must have. It chronicles the whole feud between the Rattlesnake and McMahon. Starts from the beginning of Austin's first championship reign to the "End of an ERA'First Blood Match with the Undertaker.
