Money, worldwide appeal, positive media coverage, ect...regardless of how you measure success, this was the most successful "era" in the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment history because of it's characters, storylines, and production caught up to the times where the world was having a taste of "Attitude." The biggest bonus here though is that there's no censorship here being a TV-14 presentation just like how WWE was during that era so you saw the middle fingers, the foul language (except what was beeped during the original airing), the only major edits being due to expired music rights (like Undertaker's Limp Bizkit "Rollin'" theme), and no blurring of logos or censoring references to the name "WWF".Volume 1:This is WWE's story of the company during what they called "The Attitude Era" of the late 90's to 2000 told by such talents as Mick Foley, Triple H, Pat Patterson, Jim Ross, Big Show, Mark Henry, Christian, Brian "Road Dogg" James, Rikishi, Stephanie McMahon, Ron "Faarooq" Simmons, Vince Russo, Steve Austin, John "Bradshaw" Layfield and archival comments from Eric Bischoff & Sean "Val Venis" Morley. The documentary begins briefly talking about the heavy slump that WWE was in during the mid 90's before Mick Foley talks about how the change in philosophy started with more freedom among the talents characters along with Vince's public announcement about their change before going into the change of look for RAW such as how important the entrance music & TitanTron became. D-Genenation X was highlighted next as far as what their mentality was when it came to the antics they did with comments from others looking back now asking if they went too far with what they did followed by looking at the Austin/McMahon feud. The effect of long term storylines were discussed next as far as how it created character depth & allowed the fans to have an emotional investment before going into the innovations as well including some that didn't end up working out like the Brawl For All followed by how WWE was reaching a demographics among young adults & women. A big segment came next looking at some of the more edgy characters such as divas being more sexual, Godfather & his Ho Train, Val Venis' character, and Mark Henry's "Sexual Chocolate" character & talking about unexpected reactions he got as far as the "Sammy" incident before talking about the criticism they got in regards to their programming such as the Parents Television Council & how they had to tone down certain things due to outside factors such as sponsors. The expansion of WWE television such as Sunday Night Heat & SmackDown was views & into the idea of using more comedy in their programming with such examples like Mae Young, Big Show's impression, stink face, and the 24/7 Hardcore Title rule was discussed before talking about more various characters from the area such as A.P.A., The Brood, Kurt Angle, and The Rock. The impact WWE was making in the media was another big chapter of this presentation when talking about the involvement of celebrities from sports & entertainment along with how the record setting ratings with the segments such as "This Is Your Life" before closing out the documentary looking at the end of the era & what changed after WWE bought WCW.Matches include the Brawl For All with Bart Gunn vs. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams; Tag Team Champions Undertaker & Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kane & Mankind vs. New Age Outlaws vs. The Rock & D'Lo Brown; Ken Shamrock vs. Owen Hart in a Lion's Den Match; The Rock vs. Mankind in the WWF Championship tournament finals at Survivor Series '98, Mankind & Steve Austin vs. Undertaker & The Rock; WWF Champion Undertaker vs. Steve Austin; European & Intercontinental Champion D'Lo Brown vs. Jeff Jarrett; Tag Team Champions The Rock & Mankind vs. Undertaker & Big Show in a Buried Alive Match; Steve Austin & Jim Ross vs. Triple H & Chyna; Hardcore Champion Crash Holly vs. Hardcore Holly; European Champion Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Guerrero; Intercontinental Champion Val Venis vs. Rikishi in a Steel Cage Match; Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz in the first T.L.C.

Other matches include The Rock vs. Ken Shamrock; Steve Austin vs. Undertaker; Shawn Michaels & Triple H vs. Legion Of Doom; Steve Austin & Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie vs. The Rock & New Age Outlaws; Steve Austin vs. Triple H.Overall the documentary (Volume 1) only lasted around an hour & was just an overview of this entire time period without going into many specifics of things but the story behind different parts of this era has already been told on so many different DVD sets that I didn't mind it here as they did talk about other things & gave the spotlight to other talents that hasn't been covered in any other DVD sets. The bonus material didn't just focus on JUST the main event talents that are remembered during this time (Rock, Austin, DX) but all levels of talent including the opening & mid-card superstars as well as featuring more rare matches instead of using the same matches from this era we've seen released so many times before. Volume 2 is a mixed bag as we did get some good matches & moments but also some that were here for either historical significance or the top names involved however wasn't much as far as memorable quality. Volume 3 finally released an complete unreleased collection of material from their own company archives leading to lost quality performances in regards to the in-ring action or of entertainment value that is unavailable anywhere else but some of this footage not being recorded for television (the house show matches) that the quality isn't as good with some of the footage here as some matches were only shot with one camera either at ringside or from the top of the arena as this was really noticeable in the matches from either the Anaheim Pond or Madison Square Garden with some of the matches from MSG looking like different footage (including the infamous camcorder footage that was recorded for the "Curtain Call") was spliced together leading to the quality looking very poor. In the end, most of this material from Volume 1 & 2 is currently available on the network including the documentary with the only non-network appeal here would be all the unreleased material on Volume 3 so I would only recommend for those who still want the physical media otherwise I would just seek out Volume 3 separately.

Arrived : 9th November 2020.Purchased this as a Christmas present and it arrived in perfect condition.A great DVD anthology reliving the greatest era in professional wrestling!I highly recommend!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So I'm a complete newbie to wrestling. Didn't grow up with it, had 0 frame of reference for most of it. This is not going to include matches in a 'narrative' order (i.e. not the complete Ministry of Darkness storyline etc) but it's good to get an overall idea of who was who in the attitude era and see some of the highlights.

Fast delivery (next day infact) came in perfect condition, excellent price & brilliant packaged, my son loves it, highly recommended thank you,

A good box set. Varying quality of matches and some interesting interviews.

Great Dvds, I don't have a device that plays DVDs, I Got this for my nephew, he loved the dvds. It's a great buy. He's 13 and he loves WWF/WWE Attitude Era.
