When DVDs hit Rock Bottom..., February 7, 2002
This review is from: WWE Rock Bottom 1998 (DVD)
There's not much I can say about the actual event that hasn't already been said, it was mediocre at best, but I can add my opinion about the actual DVD...
First off, there are NO EXTRAS...now, I'll admit, I wasn't surprised by this...Sure the WWF could have opened up the vault and given us some cool stuff leading up to Rock Bottom 1998, but they didn't and it's not the first time they released a DVD without any extras...What can you say, I guess the WWF doesn't "Get It" when it comes to making the DVD more worth buying by adding extras...
But I'm not mad about there being no extras...sure, extras are nice, but they don't have to be included...
What I am mad about is the exclusion of a MENU! How do you exclude a menu from a DVD? Isn't the menu standard? This is the only DVD (in general) I own (and I own a number of DVDs) that has no menu...And no menu means no select a match feature, which means if say you don't want to watch the whole event but rather just want to watch the buried alive match, the main event on the disc...you can't just press and button and be at the start of the match (like you can with other WWF DVDs), oh no, you have to FAST FORWARD throught the whole event...You can't even jump from chapter to chapter because the whole event is one chapter...
Basically the WWF just took the video version of Rock Bottom and transferred it over to a DVD...Very disappointing...
Take a mediocre event, mix it with no extras and NO MENU and you get a DVD worth passing up...Unless this is your favorite event in WWF history (and then I ask why?) or if you already have it on VHS and want to replace the video with a DVD, pass on this one...You'll be happy you did...

An Ok PPV, August 15, 2000
A Kid's Review
The Buried Alive Match was ok, but could have been much better and Mankind and The Rock wasn't one of their better matches either. Overall, this ppv is pretty good but I would rent it!
