Hulk Still Rules: The Best Wrestling DVD EVER!, 23 Oct 2002
By A Customer
I've been a big Hulk Hogan fan for many years, so when I heard there was a DVD dedicated to The Hulkster planned, I was very excited! This DVD covers Hogan's early years in the WWE (then WWF), his time in WCW, and his return to the WWE this year. There are some great interviews from Hogan and a nice piece which shows him interacting with his many fans. His time in WCW is handled very well, and it shows his last appearance for the company at Bash At The Beach 2000, where he fell out with Vince Russo. His return to the WWE is also handled very well. There's coverage right up to his Backlash encounter with Triple H, where he won the Undisputed title. What makes this DVD really special is the extras. There's over four hours of extras, some on Disc 1 and the rest on Disc 2. There's rare matches from the early stages of his career, the "Hulka-mania years" in the WWF, promos from Saturday Night's Main Event, and a few appearances on Tuesday Night Titans, as well as his Bash At The Beach 94' clash with Ric Flair and his "card-board Rock" promo this year. Overall, a great DVD which will delight the Hulkster's many fans.

Great, but not quite complete, 15 Jul 2003
Six hours of the biggest icon in the history of sports entertainment!! What more could anyone ask? Well, you could ask for a bit more actually. Yes, you get the early years, Andre, Iron Sheik, Mr Wonderful, etc. You get the NWO, years, you get the return to the WWE, and it goes full circle to the return of the babyface Hogan at Backlash against Triple H. In the extras you get Andre at WM III, Mr Perfect at Saturday Nights Main Event, Royal Rumble 90, Survivor Series 88(Mega Powers V Mega Bucks), you even get some great promos, getting fit with Mean Gene and making milkshakes with Vince McMahon, and so much more besides. What you don't get however is a good six years of WWF years. What happened? Why does this always happen on WWE DVD's? As someone who got into wrestling around the time of WM IV I was really looking forward to footage of the knockout competition at WM IV. The fued with Macho Man which lead to WM V. The battle with the Warrior which lead to WM VI, and more. Could we not have found room for this in six hours? Instead these events are only touched upon in the extras. We've seen the NWO fights on the NWO DVD, why see them in an almost carbon copy format again? If it hadn't been for this glaring error then we would have had the perfect document of the greatest wrestler's career, a five star DVD and THE essentual WWE DVD. Instead, what we get is another wasted opportunity, shame. When you see the fans at the end worshipping their hero, you have to wonder if this would have been the DVD they would have made. Still, at six hours, worth the money.
