Before I get started, everyone writing about the whole "it's one disc while Hardy gets two" agrument should know that this 1 disc is around 4 hours long...the same length as all of TNA 2 disc DVD releases.

Now I see this DVD as a complete disapointment...it's almost a throwback to the older WWF Home Video's they would have on their wrestlers with the longer matches being clipped & the non-important short matches being shown in full. Other DVD's such as Jeff Hardy's were filled with a bunch of filler matches from Impact while Christopher Daniels is one disc full of actual matches worth paying $$$ for and they're all clipped or real short except for the Ironman Match with Styles from Against All Odds & the Ultimate X match with him & Styles from the next month. But that's not saying much since you can get that match & the entire Ulitimate X match (they cut out the elimation parts with Primetime & Killings beforehand) off two other TNA DVD's (Against All Odds [Ironman], Destination X [Ultimate X] & The Best Of The X Division [Both Matches]).

The only thing I can say positive about this is that the timeline format they had for this DVD was well done (his first TNA match to the union of Triple X to the wars with AMW to his domination of the X division). And they went all the way back to the start of TNA in Nashville & not just start to their move to Flordia like they've done with alot of their DVD's recently but they really should have had more matches that weren't clipped complete.

Hope this isn't the future plan for other TNA releases.

BTW: Here are all the matches on the DVD since nobody else put them up.

Don't get me wrong: I absolutely love Daniels. From his INCREDIBLE matches from ROH with Low-ki, American Dragon, Austin Aries, and others to his recent MOTYCs with A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe, he has to be one of my 5 current favourite wrestlers in the world. The matches on this dvd are good and worth the money... but they are not all complete, as noted by other reviewers. Now why on Earth would a worthless bump taker like Jeff Hardy get two discs and an incredible WRESTLER like Daniels only get one disc? Baffles me.
Oh, and let me throw my 2 cents into the whole TNA vs. WWE B.S. that is plaguing this website's TNA reviews: It doesn't matter. They both do things better than one another on different levels. So in my opinion, currently, Tna and WWE are on the same wavelength. Even though I like WWE more, historically. And please.
STOP USING THIS SPACE TO ARGUE, USE INCORRECT GRAMMAR, AND MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK LIKE TOTAL TOOLS. Because there are REAL wrestling fans, like myself, who come here to read REVIEWS.

"Heaven Sent, Hell Bound: The Best of Christopher Daniels" - COMING IN JANUARY!

I wasn't disappointed with this DVD, but I think so much more could be added. Daniels is one of the best guys I've ever watched in wrestling period. The team of Triple X was nothing short of amazing (And it documents the wars between them and AMW very well). But, I would hope to see a better Daniels DVD in the future. But still, this is good.

I'd also recommend The Best of A.J. Styles, and TNA Anthology: The Epic Set

That's right people, TNa dropped the ball when they released this wrestling clipped matches on this bad DVD release. Now I watched TNA wrestling back in the beginning of 2004, and I was EXTREMELY dissapointed to see all the matches in 2003 on this DVD release begin clipped to 5 minutes AT THE MOST in some areas.

Don't waste 15 bucks on this DVD, if it's more than just 10 bucks you are wasting money. It's a shame though, Christopher Daniels deserved better.......

PS: At least World Wrestling Entertainment can put on a good DVD release....

I got this last night and have already watched it. I will say that I am a little upset that it is only one disc and the matches are clipped(except the Ironman Match), but it reminded me of the old school Best Of Videos that showed the featured person's career in the company. All of his best are on here. It truly highlights Chris Daniels as MR.TNA. Just wish it would have been a double disc so all the matches could be complete. But it is worth buying. Truly a must have and one of the best TNA DVD's created.

First off, I would like to say that Christopher Daniels is one of my all time fav wrestlers. I have followed his career since he was a developmental WWE wrestler.

The DVD, unlike other recent TNA best of's, is a one disc set. There are loads of matches on the DVD, but all of them are clipped. For instance, the match with Shocker at Hard Justice is only 6 minutes long. The main thing that I dislike about the DVD is they clip the matches, but leave the entrances and the ring introductions in. If you would have clipped them out, you could have shown more of the match. Or, better yet, make it a two disc set like you did Raven, AJ, and Jeff Hardy.

This is a solid dvd. Christopher Daniels is a really great wrestler and this dvd has some of his best matches at that time in TNA. I really wish TNA didn't stop releasing two disc sets because there could have been more matches on this disc. They also could have used some of his stuff from Japan. Also, some of the matches aren't shown in entirety. Even though this doesn't have the things I just complained about it's still a great dvd and I would recommend it to any TNA or wrestling fan in general.

If I were Christopher Daniels, I would be a little upset that TNA gave Jeff Hardy a two-disc DVD but I only got one. The match selection is excellent (although I do wish they'd included the three way with AJ Styles and Samoa Joe at Unbreakable) but cramming it all one one disc means they have to cut and edit which is very annoying.

That especially comes up with the two biggest XXX/AMW cage matchs, even the Turning Point 04 classic. I don't understand why TNA would choose to push all this on only one disc as with two, you could have had the matches in their entirety. A shame as Daniels definitely deserves it with the awesome work he does. At least we see him hosting the program which is very good.

Having been a TNA Wrestling fan for some time, I've seen most of these matches on this DVD. If you have the Best of AJ Styles or the Best of the X-Division, this one will beat them both. Christopher Daniels had some of the best matches in TNA history, and they'll be on display here. I'm hard pressed to say which match is the best one, because all the matches here are just awesome. Don't believe me? See for yourself!
