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...

The Card for this one was as follows:

Mark Henry & D-Lo Brown vs Val Venis & The Godfather.

The Headbangers Vs Golga & Kurrgan.

Steve Blackman Vs Owen Hart

The Brood Vs The J.O.B. Squad.

Goldust vs Jeff Jarrett in a "Strip Tease" Match.

The New Age Outlaws vs Ken Shamrock & The Big Boss Man for the tag team titles.

Mankind vs The Rock

Steve Austin Vs The Undertaker in a "Buried Alive" Match.

A very good price for this 1998 ppv... check it out!

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!

With so many great matches in this event, the average person would find nothing wrong with this. But, I don't think everything went as great as it could have. For the event that began setting up Wrestlemania, it could have been ten times better. The Buried Alive match was good, but really, how many times can we see Austin vs. Undertaker?

the rock in my estimation was overated and i always said he would be a sellout...and wait ooooo he was. but ppv was decent, outlaws are an ok mctahc but just the rejects from the real man who created dx...shawn michaels, the wwf-wwe wihtout shawn michaels was a joke! but the overall ppv was good, and the brrod gangrel match was excellent, stone cold good perfromace, undertaker, just stale. great memories of late 90's wwf, id but the vhs

buy this tape for the stone cold and undertaker match

the rest was ok,rock/mankind match was good, grrrrrrrrr
mankind had that won!!!!!

when i first saw that they were realeasing a series of like 98 dvds i was very excited but when i recieved it 2day i was a lil disapointed. not with the dvd persay but with hwo it was put together.there r no menus it plays like a normal video. if u only wanna watch like the main event u gotta fast forword through the whole ppv.thats pretty much the only problem. as for that its pretty good

This is a very good PPV with lots of great matches. Here are the matches:

Val Venis & The Godfather (With da HOES!!) vs. Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown (w/Terri & Jacquline)

The Oddities (Kurregan & Golga W/Luna & some other tall guy) vs. The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher)

Owen Hart vs. Steve Blackman

The J.O.B. Squad (Al Snow, Scorpio, & Bob Holly) vs. The Brood (Edge, Christian, & Gangrel)

Goldust vs Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) in a "Strip Tease" Match (If Jarrett wins, Goldust strips, if Goldust wins, the DEBRA STRIPS!!)

Tag Team Title match: The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg & Badd Ass Billy Gunn) vs. Ken Shamrock (Intercontinential champion) & The Big Boss Man (Hardcore Champion)

WWE championship: Mankind vs The Rock (w/Vince & Shane McMahon)

The Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin in a "Buried Alive" Match (Oh My!)

This was an awesome event, the second best ppv of 1998, all the matches were pretty good. There were two really awesome matches, the first one being the best match of the night, The Rock vs. Mankind for the wwf title, you got to admit, Vince is a genius, and second, Stone cold steve austin vs. Undertaker buried alive match. This was a great ppv.

I can't recommend this video at all. Mark Henry/Dlo Brown vs. Val Venis/Godfather was a decent start but the match was really short. The Headbangers/Oddities match was pure crap. Owen Hart vs. Steve Blackman was solid but had a cheap ending that made Owen look weak in his home country. The Brood vs. Job Squad 6 man tag was very good and a definite match of the night. The Goldust vs. JJ match was decent but nothing special. The tag title match just flat out sucked. The world title match between The Rock and Mankind had some good action but the really cheap ending that made no sense ruined it. The main event which was the buried alive match between Austin and Undertaker turned out to be beyond horrible.

Do not buy this video. It might be worth a rental for a few of the matches but that's it.
