CUSTOMER REVIEWS
A truely brilliant piece of nostalgia for those of us lucky enough to grow up in the wwe period of hulkamania at it's pomp. Some fabulous match choices here, although my personal fav of that era sadly is not featured(Ravishing Rick Rude). Great to see the old school villians such as "honky Tonk man","Million $ man","Macho Man Randy Savage" and "King Kong Bundy" get some disc time. Not that fussed on the modern wwe fight choices, as the SNME of the new generation were pretty poor shows. With enough material in the vault, it would be nice to see a second volume of the best of SNME.

a great dvd set for a wwe fan, with the matches and the history behind the saturday main event...
Apart from the legendary Big Four PPVs Saturday Night's Main Event for some time was THE Show to watch in the WWE. Now WWE honers this free TV extravaganza with a three disc DVD set.
What makes this set so special, is that most of the included matches have never been released on any WWE DVD before. While you may find some PPV matches on a handful of different sets, you will not have too many of these in your collection yet.
And this set ha a lot of high class matches in store like the foundation of the new WWF at that point from the era of the first Wrestlemanias with legends like Bob Orton, Piper, Hogan, Savage or Andre The Giant to the vivid tag team scene in the late eighties and early nineties and the rise of later superstar like Bret Hart oder Shawn Michaels.
The are however some negative aspects. Most of the backstage vignettes are kind of silly and childish. While the trip to the zoo with Mean Gene and George The Animal is funny, the Halloween party oder the Oktoberfest (by the way: these Americans have a strange idea of Germany) are just plain stupid.
You also have to keep in min, what most of the "Saturday Night" shows have been for and that is to prepare and hype a PPV. Therefore many of the matches have a very chaotic finish with a lot of run ins or disqualifications. That is only natural, because nothing was supposed to be "settled" in these matches. Instead they were designed to build the tension for the PPVs and while some matches are on a high performance level, because of the nature of the show others are a little short.
The handful of matches from the second coming of the SNME are OK, but I guess barely a fan of the golden years would have missed them.
Still, if you art an old school fan, you cannot miss this one. One will hardly find so many unreleased classics in one DVD set
