 Terrific overview of the career of one of the most dominant forces in the WWE December 15, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This 3-Disc set really does a great job giving the viewer a look at the decade-plus career of the Big Red Machine, with wars featuring top WWE Superstars as Mankind, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Chris Jericho, X-Pac, Matt Hardy, Edge, Finlay, King Booker, Shawn Michaels, Snitsky, Umaga, Chavo Guerrero, Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon and even his own "brother" The Undertaker. The matches cover the gamut from Cage to Last Man Standing to Ambulance Matches to No Disqualification. There are also interviews and vignettes featuring the Big Red Monster. This fiery collection will fire up your Holiday shopping, so I do recommend it. 5 stars!!!
 Could have been better! December 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been a Kane fan since day one. I was thrilled when word of this DVD set came out. Glen Jacobs is a hard worker for the WWE, and never gets enough credit.
While I did enjoy this set, there is so much they missed!!!!
-His early matches with Vader.
-Kane saying 'Suck it" (Silly, I know, but so cool!)
-Kane's Hardcore title win at Wrestlemania.
-A Tag team Championship match with The Undertaker, when they were "The Brothers of Drestuction".
-His Tag team title run with Hurrican Helms.
-The Ladder match for the Tag Titles where Kane is alone, due to Helms being 'hurt'. (Granted, this match is on "The Ladder Match" DVD)
-His run in the 2001 Royal Rumble, when he lasted almost an hour.
And I'm sure there is more.
One thing I enjoyed is a 'special feature' on disc one-"Undertaker's secret" This shows how the whole Kane storyline started with Paul Bearer and Undertaker. The build-up to Kane was a classic.
I figured going in that we wouldn't get 'real' interviews with Glen Jacobs, about when he was Issac Yankum, or the 'fake' Diesel. Maybe one day, we will get that.
All in all, I was pleased, but it should have been so much better!
WWE goes kayfabe for Kane December 11, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
When I first heard about this release my immediate thought was, "A 3-dsic set for Kane, really? Do we really need 3-discs worth of mid-card matches?". Then I thought, why not a 3-disc set on the Big Show instead? Big Show's feud with Hogan in WCW, his WCW title win against Ric Flair, his WWF wars with Steve Austin, the Rock, Mankind, Undertaker and Triple H, his surprisingly good run as ECW champion; doesn't he warrant a 3-disc set more than Kane? Then, I read the match listings and remembered how good Kane was and can still be today.
Kane seems to be one of those wrestlers that fans take for granted. Maybe it's because he's rarely headlined a PPV or tv show (only his WWF title victory at King of the Ring and a handful of Raw main events come to mind) and has been pretty much a mid-card act since the debut of his character, or the fact that he's never been allowed to dominate like fellow dark side gimmick performer the Undertaker. What ever the case, casual fans just don't hold Kane in the same regard as Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Triple H or Undertaker. So why a 3-disc set? Because the ten plus year career of the Kane character, performed by Glenn Jacobs, is rock solid in both match quality and opponents. When you look at the match listing included here, it's a whose who of WWE, and many of these matches are in the 3 to 4 star range, not bad for a character that when he debuted I thought would fade away after his first match with Undertaker.
This set is surprisingly good, but before I talk up the good, I want to address the bad. First, WWE has packaged this set in the money saving paper-thin eco friendly packaging that is guaranteed to scratch the DVDs when repeatedly removed from their slipcase paper slot holders. This is an inconvenience more than anything else, because I simply bought some paper CD-R sleeves and placed them inside those and slipped them into the package. Since people stopped supporting the music industry and no longer buy CDs, I'm guessing most people 35 and younger have plenty of these sleeves lying around, so this shouldn't be an issue. Second, instead of doing a documentary WWE decided to go kayfabe for this one. In other words, Kane introduces each match in character and talks about the angles and storylines as if they were real. This is a let down, because I would love to hear Glenn discuss his career the way Mick Foley did on his DVD set, but I also understand why WWE did it. A gimmick character like Kane begs for his DVD to be done this way, but still it's a little bit of a let down. Now for the good...
This set contains some rare matches. I had forgot about the Survivor Series match where Kane took on Mankind and they wrestled under Kane's red lights for the entire match. The Last Man Standing match against Chris Jericho from Armageddon 2000 is a forgotten gem of a match. The best matches from Kane's feud with Triple H are here as are Kane's feud with RVD. There are also some great tv matches here: Kane vs. Edge in both a steel cage match and a stretcher match from Raw, Kane vs. Finlay Belfast Brawl from Smackdown and Kane vs. Undertaker (champion vs. champion) from Smackdown.
Plus, and this is a small thing, but I really love the way they introduce each match using a fire effect to burn and reveal the upcoming match, really cool.
Overall this is a buy, but the packaging, lack of a documentary and just a few dud matches keep this one from getting more than 3 stars, but with these flaws it's still worth a purchase for wrestling fans; sorry, WWE fans.
Good, but not great DVD for Kane fans. December 11, 2008

Apparently I'm not alone in my feelings for this set.
This review contains one spoiler, but since it from a match that happened many years ago, I'm not sure if that's relevant. I figured I had better mention it, anyway.
I, myself am a huge Kane fan and this is a good, but not great Kane DVD set. It's more of a match retrospective than a career retrospective. And some of the matches chosen are odd choices. Overall, the production is great, and other than one match where the sound is messed up (it probably was during the television broadcast, as well) it's tops all around as far as quality.
As far as match choices, I know that wins and losses aren't really a big deal in Kane's career, but some matches that they went with were just weird choices. A lot of losses on this set. An example: They wanted a match from when he teamed with Undertaker (when Taker was doing the biker thing, which I kind of liked, admittedly) and they picked the tables match with them against Edge & Christian and The Dudleys... a match that Kane and Taker lost and honestly didn't fare that well in (and were out of character, staying out of the match for several minutes due to chair shots, something that neither Kane nor Taker usually had much trouble with, so that the other teams would wrestle a while). Why wouldn't they show one of the numerous matches that they won and actually put the team over, since they're supposed to be so "dominant?" Odd. Even the tag match between Kane and Taker against HHH and Steve Austin would have been a better choice than my example. At least that match had some good psychology (Kane being injured and isolated from his partner). They still lost, if I remember correctly, but at least it was a better match. I don't mind a good tables match, or ladder match or whatever, but this one wasn't even that good, IMO.
There were several other choices like this as well, where there was a much better match that could have been chosen over what they went with.
Just odd choices in some cases...
I'm happy to see one of the WWF/WWE's best workers finally get a long-overdue retrospective DVD, but I can't help but think that they could have done better. There are a lot of good matches on here, but a lot of asking the question "why did they put this match on here? Why not this one???"
If you're a Kane fan, you'll love it (and I do), but it's not perfect.
While I still await a true career retrospective DVD, with behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from his peers, this is a great way to feed that hunger while I wait.
I still recommend it for Kane fans, as it's got some great moments and matches, but prepare to be puzzled if you're at all familiar with Kane's history in the ring.
Packaging of DVD December 9, 2008

I got the Kane DVD today and I was very disappointed with the packaging because they put it in sleeves instead of hubs! I hope they don't start doing this, I just have to be more careful with it.
