The Monday Night War, Mar 31 2004
Although there is a lot of stuff that the WWE could not elaborate on in more detail because of time constraints, the Monday Night War is a great documentary on the fierce rivalry between WCW and the than WWF. It has a lot of good info and suprisingly is not changed to make the WWE look better, although a few of Vince Mcmahon's comments aren't exactly truthful, but nevertheless on the whole, it is an accurate depiction of the monday night wars. The extras are great with two matches from wcw and two wwf matches. My only gripe with these matches is that they skip the entrances and post-match celebrations and they dubbed Goldberg's current WWE music over his old one! Other extra's include Austin's first stunner on Mcmahon, Rick Rude appears on both Raw and Nitro in the same night, Cornette's commentaries, the Last Nitro, and more! These are selling fast so I'm sure a Vol.2 is in the works. I highly recommend this dvd

The Monday Night War, Dec 3 2010
This review is from: The Monday Night War - WWE Raw vs. WCW Nitro (DVD)
any wrestling fan would love this, even though it's written by the viewpoint of the victor of the monday night wars, it's a bit one sided, but that's do to wcw's inabilities to adapt mostly and the old saying, to the victor go the spoils lol

The Monday Night War: Almost the whole story, Aug 7 2004
The good: This disc covers the major highlights of the Monday Night War in addition to providing some background on the 2 companies involved before the war got started. This was some of the better footage with seeing the old Manhattan Center and comparing it to 1996 and then to today. Some WWE personnel were also able to vent their feeling on what was wrong with WWF and well as WCW with Jim Cornette and Mick Foley being the best interviewed. The "extra" moments were all very good. The not so good: There were still too many guys who weren't able to speak about this whole issue (Nash, Hall Hogan, Bret). The bonus matches which are often the highlight of WWE DVD were a total dud. I can understand not having any PPV matches but none of the best matches from Raw or Nitro were there with the possible exception of Goldberg vs Hogan on Nitro. The Raw matches were adequate but I can think of several just off the top of my head that were higher quality by far. Bottom Line: Despite the unusually substandard extras package the main feature is put together about as good as possible this close to the war being over. It does an excellent job of taking fans who followed the Monday Night War closely and giving some insight and a lot of memories on what was a wonderful time for professional wrestling. There's a distinct "they started it and we finished" flavour from the WWE but it rings true and does a better job than I expected of giving WCW its props for putting up the best fight Vince and the WWE ever had. Very satisfied.
