Summary: A Historic Set For A Historic Superstar
Comment: Undertaker is one of those superstars that you have known and loved for many, many years. He's given us some of the most memorable moments in wrestling history, from throwing Mankind off the top of the cell at King of the Ring 1998 to setting his brother Kane alight in the Inferno match. He's one of the WWE's best creations and another prime example of how WCW dropped the ball in letting him go. At 6 ft 10 he's known as the most agile big guy the business has ever seen, and that is no joke as seeing a men his size gracefully jump over the top rope, perform a flying lariat or indeed even walk on the top rope of the ring is something impressive, and something to truly be witnessed first hand. After just a year in the business Undertaker won his first WWE title after beating the biggest name the wrestling industry has ever seen in Hulk Hogan. That in itself is an impressive mark on a persons resumé, adding onto it the current 16-0 winning streak at Wrestlemania and being the true patriarch of the Buried Alive match and the Hell In A Cell Match. There's no denying that Undertaker is an impressive character and something that we're unlikely to see ever again, so this is the right kind of set to give us which shows us the impressive career of the dead man the Undertaker.

This is an incredible set and although missing some matches that I would have loved to see, the 6-Man Hell In A Cell match for example and although Taker lost, it still would have been interesting for that match to be in the set. Overall though, the set is a great one and is something that must be owned by almost every WWE fan around the world.

Summary: Dead man lives
Comment: I think all the matches on the dvd were good ones I mean of course there are some missing there are to many great matches there are.
vs hulk hogan: the match isnt that great but better than the one on disc 3 it is slowish and a little boring but it is decent and I give it 6/10
vs yokozuna casket match: this match was ok and then a whole bunch of heels come out and try to put taker into the casket and then finally do it is good the first time but then it gets boring the other times you watch it 5/10
vs diesel: this is when the set picks up as the big men do a couple things they havent done before it is a very good match but is not great but that is later in the set 8/10
vs mankind buried alive match: wow this is the first buried alive and the best these two had a great main event that night but outdid thereselfs a few times 9/10
vs mankind: this match is crazy and great they fight all over the outside and just about destory the rest of foley's ear in this match his mask gets ripped off and then he goes HEAD FIRST INTO A TABLE it is crazy 10/10
vs bret hart (summerslam) ref HBK: this is a bret match mostly and taker breaks the shapshooter nothing great expect its one of the matches you can watch over and over because it is great 9/10
vs bret hart (one night only): this is diffrent because it has taker and bret doing there moves and is better than summerslam 10/10
vs shawn michaels: it is a big brawl that is pretty good and long and is great to watch a few times but is overlooked due to the hitc match at badd blood 8/10
vs shawn michaels hitc: this match is the first hitc and it is great as one of the best north american matches in history it is just that good 10/10
vs kane: this is there best match ever and is really good because kane looks unstoppable unlike in the next match 9/10
vs kane inferno match: this is a down step from the wrestlemania match they had 7/10
vs mankind hitc: what can you say other than that this is the best and worst match mixed into one but i love it and so does most everyone else 10/10
vs the rock: normal match so that is all i can say 7/10
vs stone cold first blood: this match is great and seems shorter than it is because it is so good, one of steves best matches and it is a great storyline too 10/10
vs hhh: it is pretty good just it isnt believable that the ref was down all that time but still good match 8/10
vs hogan: poor i get bored watching this i never liked hogan and to not put taker over him cleanly sucks 3/10
vs brock lesnar hitc: maybe the best hitc it is so in your face and physical that it is just plain great, classic, and brutal i have to give this a 11/10
vs john cena: when cena was like this persona that it was a great match i love to watch this match it is great 9/10
vs Mr. mcmahon buried alive: poor and boring match that is not good at all and seems to drag on 5/10
vs kane: good but short and it is pretty much just taker destorying the kane to become like a monster face 6/10
vs kurt angle: great, great, great this is the way to cap it off great wrestling and it is one of takers best and at least we end it on a high note 9/10

Summary: Nice for the price
Comment: I really liked this DVD, it has a lot of footage and it's really cheap. It's worth every penny.
BEST FEATURES
- It's doesn't show just the matches, but also a little documentary in-between the fights, explaing what happened before and after each featured match.
- There are a couple of Extras that live up to their hype, like the match vs Bret Hart, or when Undertaker atacks Hulk Hogan in the funeral parlor.
- This DVD shows, by far, the most savage Hell-in-a-Cell match I've ever seen. That Undertaker vs Mankind, the sound bout, where the latter literrally flies from the top of the cell into the anouncers table.
WORST FEATURES
- The Undertaker as a Bike-Rider storyline was pretty dumb, but I thing the worst was the Undertaker, in his dead parents graveyard, talking about his fight with Kaine and how he will accept his "eternal damnation".
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for the matches, but expect no insight
Comment: The packaging is pretty dumb, with all three discs stacked atop each other, with the center bar long enough for all three.
Because of the Undertaker's gimmick, and the strict kayfabe-ness of this DVD, you'll get great drama and emotion, and full-length matches, but you won't get any insight into Mark Calaway, or his time in the WWF/WWE.
The documentary? It may as well not be there. It features Mean Gene Oakerlund with a disguised voice narrating the Undertaker, moving so fast through the early years that they skip his debut match, and seem to display him as having ADD, as he jackknifes from one opponent to another without any coherence. One part of the DVD, he's facing off against Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, then a few seconds later, he's wrestling Yokozuna, then after that match, he's feuding with Bret Hart, and seconds later Mankind arrives and attacks him.
The mood and tone of the DVD collection is great, and the discs feature full-length matches in the "documentary", so it will take a very long time to watch through the entire collection.
The part where the DVD fumbles and bumbles is where the Undertaker changes his gimmick to the more down-to-earth biker guy. At that point, Oakerlund shuts up most of the time, and there's no more documentary... just promos playing leading up to matches, and followed by Oakerlund (acting as if the Undertaker were still the lord of darkness) narrating of how the Undertaker goes on to attack someone else random, all up until his Wrestlemania XX redebut as the true Undertaker, but by that time, the DVD collection is nearly over.
Bonus features are sparse, including some promos and such, and plenty of full-length matches, but expect no insight into Mark Calaway, or even into the Undertaker's kayfabe past. If it weren't as long and detailed and full of matches and such as it was, I would have given this a much lower rating.
