Survivor Series, an event that began in 1987, originally created to be a “Thanksgiving tradition” as the first eight Survivor Series events took place on either Thanksgiving Day after the success of WrestleMania III. The show is one of the “Big Four” events, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam and to celebrate it’s 30th year anniversary, WWE Home Video has released, “30 Years of Survivor Series”
30 of the greatest moments from 30 remarkable years of Survivor Series is here in list form. Now Disc One gives you the countdown and I’m not gonna spoil that for you. What I can say is that the collection does have a superb account of the must see matches, moments and shocks that have occurred, much to the wrestling fans satisfaction.
Disc 2 and 3 features a great selection of matches in full and fans who have wished to have matches picked out from the years featuring, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Bret “Hitman” Hart, Diesel and many more, will definitely be happy with this. One thing that is excellent about this collection is seeing the promotions unique moments from seeing one of WWE’s first table spots, the amazing push of Kofi Kingston and the return of Sting.
Overall an excellent offering that fans will like, no doubt will see them divided as like most lists not everyone will agree with them but one thing all wrestling fans can agree is that the Survivor Series has remained one of most important events of the WWE Calendar and thanks to this 3 disc DVD set, the WWE Universe can see the moments in one outing.
