Tombstone: The History Of The Undertaker tells a roughly 6 hour story about this WWE Superstar's rise to main event status from 1991 until 2004. Aside from the bad packaging, I was very pleased with this DVD. Now, here is what you'll find on here:

Disc 1

Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan (WWE Championship) - The Undertaker wins his first WWE title after being in the organization for only a year! Guest appearance from "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

Undertaker Vs. Yokozuna (RIP)(WWE Championship Casket Match) - This ends up being more of a gang mugging as several WWE stars help out Yoko! Still significant as it shows the fighting spirit of UT in a losing effort.

Undertaker Vs. Diesel - This was from WrestleMania 12 and one of Kevin Nash's better bouts!

Undertaker Vs. Mankind (Buried Alive Match) - Foley, as usual, takes a beating from UT! UT wins the match but ends up getting buried alive by Mankind, The Executioner (Terry Gordy in a mask/RIP) and several other heels!

Undertaker Vs. Mankind (WWE Championship Match) - Undertaker had just won his second WWE title a month earlier. Foley takes another beating including a head first dive into a table!

Undertaker Vs. Bret Hart (WWE Championship Match) - "HBK" Shawn Michaels is the special referee in this one as this was otherwise a classic bout! Guest appearances from Paul Bearer, Owen Hart (RIP) and Brian Pillman (RIP). The ending leads up to the brief but brutal Michales/Undertaker feud!

BONUS MATCH: Undertaker Vs. Bret Hart from One Night Only in England! Awesome bout! Perhaps better than their Summerslam encounter.

EXTRAS ON DISC 1

Undertaker attacks Hogan in the Funeral Parlor
Undertaker builds a casket for Yokozuna
Undertaker talks about Diesel in the graveyard
Undertaker talks about Mankind in the graveyard
Undertaker interrupts Mankind's interview

DISC 2

Undertaker Vs. Shawn Michaels (In Your House: Ground Zero) - This was the first bout and it is a wild affair with guest stars HHH and Chyna!

Undertaker Vs. Shawn Michaels (Hell In The Cell) - The first ever Hell In The Cell! Set the bar for future HITC bouts!

Undertaker Vs. Kane (WrestleMania 14) - This bout was the first ever meeting between these two and probably the best between these two!

Undertaker Vs. Kane (Inferno Match) - Not a great bout BUT does have an awesome dive by 'Taker over the fire onto Kane and Vader!

Undertaker Vs. Mankind (Hell In The Cell) - The worst beating of Mick Foley's life. People can talk about HHH ending Foley's career in this same type of match but, in my eyes, it was UT that shortened Foley's career as the beating he gave Mick was far worse than what HHH did to him!

Undertaker Vs. The Rock (WWE Championship Match) - Very entertaining in that The Rock is his usual defiant self against UT! Guest appearance from HHH in this one!

EXTRAS ON DISC 2

Undetaker interview right after SummerSlam '97 concerning Shawn Michaels

Undertaker talking to her parents' tombstones
Undertaker interview where Kane burns their parents' tombstones
Undertaker breaks into Paul Bearer's house and mauls him!

DISC 3

Undertaker Vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (WWE Championship/First Blood Match) - Your basic brawl! Interference from HHH, The Rock, Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon.

Undertaker Vs. HHH (WrestleMania X-7) - Probably one of the best WM bouts ever!

Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan (WWE Championship Match) - This is a rematch 12 years later for the same championship!

Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesner (WWE Championship Match/Hell In The Cell) - One of the top 5 HITC bouts ever! Taker bleeds like a stuck pig! Not for the squemish!

Undertaker Vs. John Cena - Interesting to see John in heel mode here! Actually does a good job staying with 'Taker.

Undertaker Vs. Mr. McMahon (Buried Alive Match) - Not much of a bout but McMahon takes a HUGE A** WHIPPIN' HERE! 'Taker loses when Kane interferes.

Undertaker Vs. Kane (WrestleMania 20) - Nowhere near as good as their original encounter BUT the entrances make it worth viewing.

EXTRAS ON DISC 3

Undertaker talks about HHH

Undertaker promo on Hulk Hogan

Undertaker talks about Hell In The Cell

Undertaker in the graveyard promo on Mr. McMahon

BONUS MATCH: Undertaker Vs. Kurt Angle from Smackdown in 2003!

This a good set even if the packaging was not up to par! I would also recommend getting Undertaker: This Is My Yard as well as it goes more into UT's career BEFORE WWE! Between those two DVD's, you'll have his whole career up until 2004! Recommended set!

This DVD looks like the best DVD WWE has put out.

The only thing I wish they would do is continue it till WM 21. And possibly add his matches at No mercy 2004,Survior Series 2004, or Royal rumble 2005 instead of Survior Series. And stop at WM 21. I dont think that three disks is enough to cover one of WWE's greatest wrestler's ever. This DVD looks great. I'm buying it for sure.

The History of the Undertaker takes a look back at some of the most famous matches in history as the Dead Man goes through the Phenom stages up to his American Badass stage and now presently back to the Dead Man era...

With Matches against: HBK, Bret Hart, Mankind, HHH, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and others, this is one DVD set you NEED to own!!!!

Disk One Matches:

WWE Championship Match vs. Hulk Hogan: Good match and very legendry as the Dead Man wins his first championship match. Some outside interferance by Ric Flair and Undertaker wins. 8.5/10

Casket Match vs. Yokozuna: Okay, about 10 different guys including Bam Bam Bigelow and Diesel interfere and UT basically fights back but gets overwhelmed. Some weapons were used in the beginning and this was the famous moment after the match when the Undertaker "Rose Up" from the dead. 8/10

Wrestlemania vs. Diesel: Basically big man moves, not the best WM match of the UT's. Undertaker wins. 7/10

Buried Alive Match vs. Mankind: This was a great match. Steel steps and chairs made appearances. Both men get knocked around and Mankinds head hits the barricade especially hard. Some guys interfere, including HHH and Goldust, to bury the UT alive after Taker wins the match. 9/10 [For the match itself]

WWE Championship vs. Mankind: Best match of the first disk. I thought this match was brutal. It wasn't No DQ, but both men used weapons and Mankind even gets knocked off the ringside area and went HEADFIRST through an announce table, best spot of the match. Undertaker wins with the tombstone and then lights a fireball into Paul Bearers face. 9.5/10

WWE Championship Match vs. Bret Hart: Great match, I'm a fan of any Bret Heart match. Some technical wrestling by Bret, and even some fast moves by the UT. 9/10

Disk 2 Matches:

WWE Championship Match vs. Shawn Michales: Okay match and this led up to their epic match inside the Hell in a Cell. Shawn was great as the crowd both booed and cheered him. A great match for the second disk. 8.5/10

Hell in a Cell Match vs. HBK: One of the top three Hell in a Cell matches. Steel Steps, chairs, the cage itself, and some interference by Kane caused this match to give it a perfect score. Watch UT give a HUGE chairshot to Michales near the end of the match. Great match. 10/10

Wrestlemania match vs. Kane: Best time these two faced each other. Undertaker leaps off the ring ropes and goes crashing into an announce table after missing Kane. Awsome ending with three tombstones!!! UT wins and continues his streak. 9/10

Inferno Match vs. Kane: Great match, the first of its kind! Vader interferes and UT gives a huge leap out of the flames onto both Vader and Kane. A chair and even a drum set were used on both Kane and Paul Bearer. Kane losses when his arm catches fire. 8.5/10

Hell in a Cell match vs. Mankind: One of the most famous moments in history when Taker threw Mankind off the cage. Chairs, steps, and tacks were used in this epic match. 9/10

WWE Championship vs. The Rock: Alwright match, dont really see the significance of it though. Both men fight all over the arena and Rock actually takes some punishment being thrown against the barricades. HHH interferes and UT wins with the tombstone. 8/10

Disk Three Matches:

First Blood Match vs. Stone Cold: The best match in Disk Three and my personal favorite. The atmosphere and the excitment were off the charts. Shane McMahon and X-Pac, plus Mr. McMahon make an appearance in this match. Stone Cold wins after busting the UT wide open. 10/10

Wrestlemania Match vs. HHH: One of Takers best WM matches, if not THE best. They fight all over the place with chairs and even the sledgehammer makes an appearance. Taker even chokeslams HHH off the side of a monitor tower. The UT wins despite getting hit over the head with the hammer and continues his undefeated streak at WM. 9/10

WWE Championship Match vs. Hulk Hogan: Okay match, just shown to show when Taker won his fourth title. Mr. McMahon makes a brief appearance, gets the crap kicked out of him, and then Taker levels Hogan with a chair and wins the title. 8/10

Hell in a Cell Match vs. Brock Lesnar: Would have been better if not for Heyman's moaning, it was really annoying. Taker bleeds heavily, and Brock wins his undeserving Hell in a Cell victory. Steel Steps and a chair make an appearance in this match. 8.5/10

Vengeance Match vs. John Cena: Pretty good for the rookie at that time. The Vengeance crowd that night was great, so it helped this match. Taker hurt his ribs and bleed from the mouth, but fought back and won with the last ride. 8/10

Buried Alive Match vs. Mr. McMahon: On paper this sounds like a must see match, but all Taker does in beat the crap out of McMahon with a shovel and steel steps and McMahon bleeds heavily. Kane interferes and buries the UT alive. 8/10

Wrestlemania Match vs. Kane: One of the best ring entrances in quite some time. But I think the entrance by Ut was even longer than the match itself! Nothing special, and Ut wins to continue his streak. 7/10

Well, there you have it. The one thing I see wrong is that all three disks are packed on top of each other instead of a different holder for each of them in the DVD case. Would have been a lot professional looking if they werent stacked on top of each other. Other than that this is a great DVD collectible.

The Undertaker is my favorite wrestler, and it was awesome to see some of his matches and other assorted footage and appearances from the past 15 years. The packaging isn't the best, but the DVDs more than make up for it.

I gave this DVD set a 4 because i'm a big Undertaker fan. Maybe it deserves a 3 but I could have let my fandom of Taker to bump it up to a 5.

This set has some truly great matches. I drooled at the idea of being able to watch Undertaker and Mankind in Hell in the Cell whenever I wanted. The set is worth buying just for that match alone.

I like how you can follow the evolution of the character through this set. You can compare the way he speaks in his few promos, the way he dressed, his in-ring moves and tactics. Now that i've watched it I find that I look at his character in a new light compared to when I first watched this stuff. I still see how great Undertaker is but I can now admit some of the flaws and notice things like how goofy some of his storylines were.

My major problem with this set is that it doesn't talk much about the set-up of matches. One match he might be a face, one match he might be a heel, one match he's sort of in between. A few less matches and some more background would have helped. Or maybe just a fourth disc to make some more space for some much needed backstory.

One other thing that would have helped would have been to have fit the Extras promo section in between the matchs instead of having to jump back and forth to follow them in order.

Hopefully Taker will still give a few more highlights to add his story before his last ride. :)

This is a 3 disc set compiling the WWF/WWE career of Mark Callaway (The Undertaker) from 1991 - 2003. The chapters are narrated by an unknown presenter. All of the matches are shown in their entirety, and are given a pre-match history with video clips.
The following are my ratings of the matches based out of 5 *****:
Disc 1:
WWF Championship Match vs. Hulk Hogan(C) 11/27/91 - This is your usual Hogan match in which Hogan gets beat up and then "Hulks Up" and plants the big boot and leg drop. The only difference is Ric Flair gets involved, and Hulk gets "Tombstoned" on a chair. But it is historically significant as it is The Undertaker's first Championship match. Rating - **1/2 (13min)

WWF Championship Match vs. Yokozuna(C) 1/22/94 - This is notable for actually getting to witness a match with Yokozuna as WWF Champion. The match is the basic big man slug-fest until Yokozuna thows salt in the Undertaker's eyes and then spike-slams The Deadman on a chair and then lands a belly-to-belly suplex on him! The match gets interrupted when the entire Royale Rumble crew comes into the ring and assaults The Undertaker. It's cool getting to see Jeff Jarrett and Kabuki attack the Undertaker. Cool ending. Rating - **1/2 (20min)

vs. Diesel (Wrestlemania XII) - This is a pretty good match. Big Daddy Cool (Kevin Nash) actually looks decent here. He beats The Phenom up real bad. Diesel lands a body-splash guillotine and back-to-back jackknife slams on The Undertaker! But The Evil One rises up only to be sidewalked slamed! Diesel was soon to jump to greener pastures with WCW after this match. Not bad Kevin. Rating - ***1/2 (16min)

Buried Alive Match vs. Mankind 10/20/96 - Maknkind (Mick Foley) takes a pounding from The Undertaker. The Deadman picks up one of the steel steps and slams it onto Mankind's head, "Tombstones" Mankind and then puts a chair over Mick's face and proceeds to land a huge leg-drop on his face! Undertaker choke-slams Mankind into the grave but interference from Pallbearer's henchmen (HHH,Goldust,Crush) help to save Mankind. Check the ending! Rating - ***1/2 (18min)

WWF Championship Match vs Mankind 4/20/97 - The Undertaker is the reigning Champion. Once again poor Mick gets a beating. This time The Undertaker takes a steel step and rams it into Mankind's face knocking Mankind over the top rope and landing on the announcer's table breaking it to pieces! A alot of hard "bumps". Check the ending! Rating - **** (17min)

WWF Championship Match vs. Bret Hart 8/3/97 - A FANTASTIC match with HBK as guest referee! Watch this and witness Bret Hart putting a figure 4 and sharpshooter on The Phenom using the ring post for leverage! You also get to see a cameo of Brian Pillman(RIP) and Owen Hart(RIP)! Great match! Rating - ***** (28min)

Extra match: WWF Championship Match vs Bret Hart(C) 9/20/97 - This match was performed in England on PPV and is unavailable except on this DVD. Another awesome performance by both men. Classic is all that needs to be said! Rating - ***** (29min)

Disc 2:
vs. Shawn Michaels 9/7/97 - This match came about as a result of the Bret Hart match. There is 6 minute brawl between the two before the match even starts! The referees take a beating! HHH and Chyna get speared as The Undertaker makes a running leap over the top rope onto both of them! A decent match. Rating - **** (30min)

Hell In A Cell vs. Shawn Michaels 10/5/97 - Great match. The first Hell In A Cell match and it sets the bar high! Awesome and bloody! The 1st appearance of Kane. Rating - ****1/2 (30min)

vs. Kane Wrestlemania XIV - The Undertaker leaps over the top rope and lands on the announcer's table smashing it apart! Kane reverses The Undertakers "Tombstone" and lands it on The Undertaker! Check the ending. A very good match. Rating - ***1/2 (16min)

Inferno Match vs Kane 4/26/98 - The ring is surrounded by fire. Undertaker does a top rope suplex on Kane! Vader attacks Kane on the outside and The Undertaker leaps out of the ring, over the surrounding flames and spears both men! Rating - ***1/2 (16min)

Hell In A Cell Match vs Mankind 6/28/98 - Best known for Mankind getting tossed off the top of the cage onto the announcer's table and then being "last ride" slamed onto thumbtaks! Rating ****1/2 (for the sick "bumps" Foley endures). (20min)

WWF Championship Match vs the Rock 6/27/99 - Undertaker is current Champion. The Rock always entertains! The Rock gets beat up by The Undertaker and then gets "pedigreed" by HHH! The Brahma Bull fights hard. Rating - **** (25min)

Disc 3:
WWF Championship First Blood Match vs Steve Austin(C)7/25/99 - The first one to bleed loses. An all out brawl. Vince McMahon is in a wheelchair but still tries ti interfere along with Shane McMahon and XPac. Rating - **** (21min)

VS HHH Wrestlemania XVII - "The American Badass" is the new nom de plum for Mark Callaway. HHH gets choke-slamed off the top of the mixer's platform onto the floor! It looks crazy but the replay shows the floor is padded which takes away the initial shock and awe. The fight slpiis outside the ring into the audience and back. HHH does well! Rating - **** (20min)

WWE Championship Match vs Hulk Hogan(C) - Thier first match together since 1991. Hogan is hurt and on his way out. Hulk out up a valiant battle with his injured knee noticeably slowing the Hulkster down. Good effort Hulkster! Check the ending. Rating - ***1/2 (13min)

WWE Championship Hell In A Cell Match vs Brock Lesnar(C) 10/20/02 - AWESOME! Brock's best match! Undertaker bleeds rivers! This is absolutely violent and friggen' nonstop action! I loved this match! Rating - ***** (27min)

vs John Cena 7/27/03 - Cena disrespected and now it's payback time! Cena actually looks pretty good. Not bad Prototype. Rating - ***1/2 (16min)

Buried Alive Match vs Vince McMahon 11/16/03 - Vince bleeds like a stuck pig! Very bloody! Vince takes a beating you have to see! Rating - ***(just for seeing Vince get pummeled) (12min)

vs Kane Wrestlemania XX - Nothing special. Rating - **1/2 (8min)
Extra:
WWE Championship Match vs Kurt Angle - The best match on the disc and its clipped because it was shown on Smackdown. Kurt Angle brings out the best in everyone. I can't wait for his own DVD becaue he is the BEST! Awesome match. The best Undertaker match ever! Rating - ***** (16min clipped)

The drawbacks are no interviews with Mark about his career or his thoughts about the matches. And the disc doesn't mention his formative years in WCW before joining WWF. The packaging is lame. Overall, I would get this just for the Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle matches.

As an Undertaker fan for almost 15 years, I was anxiously awaiting this DVD set from the moment the match listings were announced on the internet. Compared to the list, there are some surprises...both good and bad.

First off, as some people have mentioned - the packaging is quite lousy. It is a typical snaplock DVD case with the three discs just stacked on top of each other. As well as potentially damaging the discs over time, it also makes the set seem a little cheap. Call me a DVD nerd if you like, but I was hoping for one of the fold-out packs (like WrestleMania, Ric Flair, etc) with the discs all laid out...I guess Taker isn't good enough for the royal treatment?!

One thing that always made me cringe about WWE DVDs were the cheap-ass menu screens. When you compare the menus on wrestling discs to those on movies, they are very inferior - usually just a frozen image with a generic rock theme playing over and over. There is a little more to enjoy with Taker's disc...lightning bolts, moving mist, entrance videos playing on tombstones and even a rare version of his 1998 entrance music plays on Disc 2.

From the the way the disc contents were announced, I thought we were just going to get a run down of 21 great matches...which is good, but nothing too exciting. Well, WWE has actually exceeded expectations here by weaving the full matches (complete with entrances and post match celebrations) into a 10hr long montage that also features the buildups to each match, together with highlights of key matches such as his 1990 Survivor Series debut, title victory with Sid in 1997 and his return at JD 2000. Vintage footage of Gene Okerlund hyping the 'Gravest Challenge' together with classic interviews of Taker and Paul Bearer (old school style with the screen behind them showing Taker's casket logo, with the purple screen, etc) and various promos and clips all brought back some great memories.

'Tombstone' runs the length and breadth of his entire career. Naturally, you can't please everyone - each person has his/her own favorite era...favorite interviews and matches. You can't please them all. What WWE has done is choose the key 21 matches in his career (which I'm sure any true Taker fan will agree are the defining matches in his career) and supplemented them with montage footage of everything else - the black wedding, teaching Big Show, returning to the Dark side...the lot.

The extras are awesome...some classic moments that I havn't seen for a while such as attacking Hogan on the funeral parlor (Hogan, Savage, Flair, Piper and Taker all together in one place? Man!), talking to his parents tombstones, and his awesome promo for Mr McMahon.

In addition, Taker fans will be happy to hear that there are a couple of extra matches thrown in that weren't listed on the net..his awesome match with Kurt Angle from Smackdown, and his One Night Only match against the Hitman. Great stuff.

In conclusion, it's every Taker fans dream...all the best matches in full and a great selection of clips, moments and memories. It's a shame we didn't get a Road Warriors documentary style disc...but nobody ever said this was the final Taker DVD. Also a shame WWE were cheap-ass on the packaging, but oh well.

Grab some snacks and beer, dim the lights (I used the lightswitch, but if you have the ability to raise and lower lights with your hands, then go ahead), sit back and enjoy TEN HOURS of the Dead Man.

[EDIT: There are a couple of Easter Eggs on the disc that I have found...both from 1997. The first is when Taker admits to the fire, but tells his version of events. He is bathed in blue light the whole time and it's pretty cool. The other is the infamous clip from 1998 when Bearer (thinking the cameras were off) confided to Jerry Lawler that he "nailed" Taker's mom. Great memories.]

I first want to say that the packaging for this collection has a lot to be desired. To stack 3 discs on top of each other is crazy, expecially when the WWE has made several other impressive 2/3 disc collections. This packaging was a little insulting to The Undertaker as well as his fans.

As for the material on the DVD's, many fans have objected to not including his very early work, and while the occasional Squash match from SuperStars is cool, I didn't really miss it. I did however feel that these collections lose steam when they just put PPV matches on them. If you are buying a 3 disc collection for anything (not just wrestling) you are a fan. Fans generally have or have seen the high profile, "popular" matches. I really wish they would have put more RAW and rare matches on this collection. I do have to say the Bret Hart match from One Night Only was worth the price for me. It's a very good match and was nice to see in DVD quality.

While the rest of the discs delve into the Undertaker's 13+ career in the WWE, the one thing that was really missing is insight to THE MAN. I really enjoy DVD's where the guy would talk about where they were at that point in their careers, how they feel matches go, and basically their take on the match. Plus it's always fun to hear what current Superstars say about guys they work with and what they thought of the matches before they got into the business. The WWE produced this DVD without consulting the Undertaker. So it's narrated like everything is Kayfabe. You don't get to hear from anyone about the Undertaker. I think that while this is indeed a great collection of matches to have, I feel that the previous Undertaker release "It's My Yard" is a better pleaser for hardcore fans. At least you get to hear his talk about the matches and his feeling towards some of the other guys.

Disk one
1. Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan for the wwe title 1991 survivor series- This was a good way to kick off the dvd.This was taker first title win ever and it was a good one. The match itself told a good story but it seemed to lck someting. It had that older feeling to it and seemed slow at times and that taker controlled most of it. STill a decent battle. WInner and new wwe champ undertaker. Match Rating 6/10.

2. Undertaker vs. Yokozuna for the wwe title in a casket match at the 1994 riyal rumble- I usually dont like these big man matches but this one was not that bad. Started off with some good action and some chair shots on the outside but than really started to get boring as 7 minutes of this match was people beeting up taker and him keep on coming back. Good start ok ending. WInner and still wwe champ Yokozuna. Match Rating 6.5/10.

3. Undertaker vs. Diseal at wrestlemania 12- This was another big man match that was average. SOme peopel do not like this match that much but i really enjoyed it. Diseal controlled most of the match but it was still allaround decent. Winner undertaker. Match rating 6.5/10.

4. Undertaker vs. Mankind in a baried alive match 1996 in your house- This was an awsome match. THis was just when mankind got in the bussiness and he put on a hell of a match. This was also a first baried alvie match. Soild action all the way through. SOme nice chair shots here and there and some nice spots with the shovel. Good match. Winner Undertaker. Match Rating 8/10.

5. Mankind vs. Undertaker for the wwe title 1997 in your house- this was even better than there barid alvie match. This was just a one on one match but turned into a bit of a street fight. There was glass tables chairs and steel steps. Started out ok with back and forth action and than manking smashing a glass over the undertakers head. SOme nice chair shots as well. There is one point in the match were mankind goes head first into the table sick stuff and some good aftermath. Winner and still wwe champ undertaker. Match Rating 9/10.

6. Bret Hart vs. Undertaker for the wwe title 1997 summerslam- This was a very good match. Shawn michales being the special gest ref was huge to this match. He played it so well in the begining and than ended cpsting taker the atch. As for the matche goes it was a good one. I have always been a fan of bret hart and his style of wretling. LOts of submission holds slowed it down a little but still a good match. WInner and new wwe champ Bret Hart. Match Rating 8/10.



Disk two
1. Undertaker vs. Shawn michaes 1997 ground zero- This was a decent match. Could have been better but still decent. Kind of slow in my opinion but still very watchable. The match was moving along untill the dq which was stupied. Winner Undertaker by dq. Match Rating 8/10.

2. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michales in a hell in a cell match 1997 bad blood- This was the first hell in a cell match ever and it was an awsome one. One of the best if not the best. Not to many items but there was a chair and some stell steps. Taker controlled the begining but than michales took over and a sick piledriver on the stell steps. It breaks down outside were michales falls from the top of the cell all the way through a table. There is also one of the sickest chair shots you will ever see in this match. Winner shawn Michales. Match Rating 9.5/10.

3. Undertaker vs. Kane wrestlemania 14- This was the first ever match between taker and kane and its one of the better big man matches. Kane controlls most of it but there is a sick table spot were undertker jumps over the rops and crashes through the announce table. This match had so many near falls and kane even kicked out of taker tombstone. Awsome big man match and one of my personal favorites. Winner undertaker. Match Rating 8.5/10.

4. undertaker vs. Kane in an inferno match 1998 in your house- This was also a first of its knid and not that bad either. The ring is surrounded by fire is what this match containes. It is good but they could not go ouytside the ring. There are some nice chiair shots. One point in the match is were taker jumps over the ropes and the flams has to be seem. A pretty good match. Winner undertaker. Match Rating 7.5/10.

5. Undertaker vs. Mankind hell in a cell 1998 king of the ring- This is one of the sickest matches that anyone will ever witness. How mankind survived this is beyond me. They start at the top of the cell and the first thing is he gets throughn off through a table. The climb back up and he gets chokeslammed through the cage were a chair hits his mouth a busts him open. The rest is average but at the end the thumbtacks come in and he gets chockslammed on them. One of the sickest matches you will ever witness. Winner Undertekr. match rating 10/10.

6. The Rock vs. The undertaker for the wwe title 1999 king of the ring- This was another good match. not one of taker best champiuonship matches but it was up there. The action is non stop from the begining there are near falls all over the place. Decent the rest of the way thorough but not much else to say. Winner and still wwe champ undertaker. Match Rating 7.5/10.
Disk Three
1. Undertaker vs. Stone COld for the wwe title in a first blood match 1999 fully loded- This was a neat match. The rules were if austin won mr mcmahon had to leave the wwe. If he lost he could never wrestle for the wwe title again. the match was good but not that many weapons used because it was a first blood match. GOod match all the way thorugh and another one of the sickest chair shots you will ever see is in this match. Winner and still wwe champ Stone Cold. Match rating 8/10.

2. Undertaker vs. HHH wrestlemania 17- This was one of takers best macthes at wretlemania ever. Really good job by both men. Started out with a okay pace just soild wrestling but that lead to a ref bump. After that it broke losse and HHH took over and beat the crap out of taker with some sick chair shots. Lots of near falls and a really good match. Winner undertaker. Match rating 8.5/10.

3. Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan for the wwe title judgementday 2002- This was a preatty good match. I would say that this match was better than there match that they had 10 years ago. About 11 minutes which i thought they should have given more time. All around just a decent pace and for hogans age he did okay in this match. Winner and new wwe champ undertaker. Match Rating 6.5/10.

4. Undertaker vs. Brock Lesner for the wwe title in a hell in a cell match no mercy 2002- This was a good match. One of takers better from 2000 foward. Told a good story as well. Not as many wepons used and i was hoping that they would go on top of the cage but they did not. They only used two weapons in the whole matchbut there was a ton of blood. The one possitve i can say about this match is that there were a ton of near falls. Winner and still wwe champ Brock Lesner. Match Rating 8.5/10.

5. Undertaker vs. Mr. Mcmahon in a buried alvie match 2003 survivor series- Not waht you call a classic match but not that bad for a guy who is in his 60s. Mostly entertaing but this match was dominated by taker from the begining so mcmahon had no offense which made it a little worse. A blood bath for mcmahon and a few nice weapons used as well. Winner Mr. McMahon. Match Rating 7/10.

6. Undertaker vs. Kane at Wrestlemania 20- This was deffentily not the match that these two had at wrestlemania 14. I was really dissapointed of the way this match was constructed. They could have made this alot better sience it was undertakers return and it was wrestlemania 20. They kept this short about 9 minute match it was decent but nothing special. Winner Undertaker. Match rating 6/10.

7. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle for the wwe title smackdown- This was one of the best main events ever for smakdown. Really good stuff here. Back and forth action and both men did a great job. Really good wrestling by jurt angle. Lots of near falls and could have been considered a ppv match. Winner by dq and still wwe champ kurt angle. Match Rating 8/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give undertakers dvd a grade of 147.5/190 which is a 78 percent which menas this is a perfect dvd. I would say thats right you should deffenitly get this. If you could tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appreicate that. Thanks for your time.
