The cons of this DVD for me is, that in a few matches they edit out Jessie Ventura's commentary. I wish Bret and the WWE, would of talked about the events led up to the Montreal Screwjob. Finally my last problem is that although I liked Bret's handpicked matches, there are still some matches he left out that were great. The match were he won the championship from Ric Flair, his semi final match against Razor Ramon, his Iron Man match with HBK, and his match with Stone Cold at Survivor Series of 96.

Overall I really loved this DVD. I felt Bret was very truthful in his interviews and it help me understand his era of excellence. I also liked his match selection, which didn't feature one bad match at all. He is a great wrestler because he can make anybody look better then they appear to be. This DVD showed me why Bret is the best there is, the best there was, and the best that ever will be.
