5.0 out of 5 stars The Best "Big Man" In The Business Today, May 5, 2006

By

This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of Samoa Joe: Unstoppable (DVD)

Samoa Joe reminds me of a modern day Mike Awesome, Bam Bam Bigelow, or Undertaker (when he was in his prime) about a wrestler in a big body but yet can wrestle, fly & move quick like a crusierweight. You'll hear Samoa Joe throughout this DVD talking about various subjects like his TNA debut, his family's business, his early jobs & breaking into the wrestling business, thoughts on the Unbreakable match, his submission styles, what he does in his spare time, his temper including a story about an incident that happened in high school, the highs & lows of his career, and his reasons behind joining TNA. DVD extras include a music video, a picture slideshow, and extended interviews of him talking about growing up & what he does in his spare time.

Matches Include:
vs. Sonjay Dutt - This was Joe's TNA debut and left quite an impression on everyone. Joe displayed power moves that you didn't see from the X division at that time while being able to move as quick as Sonjay Dutt for his size. Dutt got some moves in but overall, Joe dominated Dutt.
Slammiversary '05

vs. Delirious - This was a quick squash match for Joe with the only thing noteworthy was the one crazy abdominal stretch he used during this match.
"Impact" June '05

vs. Chris Sabin - Unlike how he debut against Dutt was a showcase for this, this was a real competitive match. Sabin took the fight to Joe in this match as he pulled off various moves that you didn't expect such as a tornado DDT & a running powerbomb. Joe held his own here and even did a series of morphing one submission hold into another at one point before Joe got the well deserved victory. This was one of those matches were both men came out strong against each other regardless of who won.
No Surrender '05
(Best Of The X Division Vol. 1)

vs. A.J. Styles - Christopher Daniels was at ringside doing commentary during this match which was also finals of the Super X Cup tournament (or the "Christopher Daniels Invitational Tournament" as he described it). A majority of the time that you get any combination of Styles & Joe & Daniels in a match, your going to get a quality performance. It's hard to describe their matches because words don't do it justice but it should be noted how A.J. showcased his strength that you normally don't see from him against by doing various moves like Lex Luger's "Torture Rack" & a bodyslam.
Sacrifice '05

vs. X Division Champion Christopher Daniels vs. A.J. Styles - This was the match that has made history on so many levels. This was the first time where the X Division Championship main evented a PPV and the quality of this match has gone down as one of the greatest (if not THE GREATEST) matches in the history of TNA to where it's still referenced to this day every single time two of these two wrestle each other. It's another match where you just have to see for yourself as words wouldn't do it justice but I need to make note that you'll get a laugh out of the opening moments where Daniels taunted both men & ended up paying for it.
Unbreakable '05

vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger - This was setup to be a dream match as one of the best of the "X" division style against one of the greatest of that same style of all time in Liger. It should be noted that both had impressive respectable entrances such playing to their heritage such as Joe's with the samoan dancers (and there's an interesting story behind that told on this DVD) along with Liger having the streamers at ringside. Unfortunally, this was disappointing by the fact that they didn't go as long as expected for a dream match but it was good for what they did but the fact that it was so short did hurt it.
Bound For Glory '05

Elimation X Match w/Christopher Daniels, Alex Shelly, Roderick Strong vs. Chris Sabin, Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt, Austin Aries - Great Survivor Series type battle between these eight with alot of the famous high spots & actual wrestling by each wrestler. However, the aftermath with Samoa Joe & Christopher Daniels is more memorable than anything else as it was one of the most brutal beatings in TNA history.
Genesis '05

vs. Amazing Red - This was another short dominate Impact squash but pay attention to the clothesline Joe gave Red that flipped him inside out.
"Impact" Dec. '05

X Division Champion AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe - It's no secret that the series between these two & Christopher Daniels were the talk of professional wrestling for a year & this match was no exception. A.J. was out for revenge against Joe for breaking the "unwritten" code of the X division where it was all about the competition. This was intense to the point where at one point & throughout the rest of the match, Styles had his lip bleeding because a chuck of it was missing & yet still fought hard against Samoa Joe. Back & forth action which again goes with what I said earlier about how you get QUALITY whenever you get any two of these three in the ring together.

vs. Jay Lethal - Just like the other Impact matches, this was a quick dominate squash by Joe.
"Impact" Dec. '05

vs. Christopher Daniels - Daniels came seeking revenge for what Joe did to him at Genesis along with the fact despite the fact that he wasn't 100%. You really saw Joe turn into a assassian during this match as Daniels tried & even got close to beating Joe on a couple of occassions but Joe targed Daniels head, busting him open, and just repeatily punishing his head to the point where Daniels couldn't defend himself and A.J. Styles did what he felt he had to do.

In the end, if your a fan of high wrestling quality then get this DVD...no questions asked!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the matches, June 5, 2006

By 

Matthew K. Putnam (Brooklyn Park, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of Samoa Joe: Unstoppable (DVD)

This looks to be TNA's best ever DVD. Nearly all the matches are a must see.

June 2005

vs. Sonjay Dutt (**1/2) Nothing really special about this one. I've only watched it once. Dutt gets some offense in, but of course Joe pulls out the victory

July 2005

vs. Chris Sabin (****1/2) A strong contender for match of the year 2005 and the most under-rated match in TNA. This is the classic "young lion" vs. "unstoppable monster" match. Both wrestlers told a great story.

August 2005

vs. A.J. Styles (****3/4)

The finals of the Super X Cup tournament. A.J. and Joe prove while they are two of the best in the business. The only thing that holds me back from giving it 5 stars is the fact that it's overshadowed by the following match

September 11, 2005 (Unbreakable) (*****)

vs. Christopher Daniels (X-Division Champion) vs. A.J. Styles

This is it folks. The most talked about match in TNA and the match by which every other TNA match is judged. This, not Barbed Wire Massacre was the match of the year for 2005. Every real wrestling fan knows this. Some people are going to say it's over-rated because it's a spot fest. It's not. The spots are well placed and make sense. These 3 do things you've never seen in a ring. They tried two more times to recapture the magic of this one, but didn't come close on both occasions. This is the match that you show your friends who have never seen TNA.

October 2005

vs. Jushin Thunder Liger (**)

Too short. May be the worst match on the DVD. I honestly don't remember this match too well.

November 2005

with Christopher Daniels, Roderick Strong and Alex Shelly vs. Chris Sabin, Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt and Autin Aries (****)

Another exciting X-Division match. This match is significant because it was the start of Joe's heel turn

December 2005

vs. A.J. Styles (X-Division Champion) (*****)

Wow. If the Unbreakable 3- way didn't happen, this would be the match of the year. A.J. gets some offense in, but Joe proves to be too much. Me typing about it, doesn't do it justice. See it for yourself.

January 2006

vs. Christopher Daniels (****)

This one took a couple of viewings for me to get into. The two had a great match, with a great story behind it, but the ending was a little weak

5.0 out of 5 stars For sheer match quality, one of the best wrestling DVDs ever, July 8, 2006

This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of Samoa Joe: Unstoppable (DVD)

Samoa Joe, as a performer, has taken wrestling by storm, and if you wanna know what all the hubbub is about, this DVD is the PERFECT place to start. If you have even a passing interest in pro wrestling, you must own this. It's cheap and the matches on here are simply unreal. The Unbreakable match in DVD quality is worth the price of admission alone, and that's just ONE MATCH. You also get EVERY PPV match Joe was in from his debut to Final Resolution, including the two A.J. classics, the Elimination X from Genesis, the Daniels rematch, the Sabin bout from No Surrender, and more. Plus Joe gives a lot of great interviews on everything from how he broke in to how he very nearly gave up on wrestling (NO!) before he signed with TNA (YAY!). Simply put, everything is complete, and there is not a bad match on this collection. GET ALL THIS!
