Customer Reviews

If you missed the show then check out this DVD
WWE Live in the UK DVD was Raw, Smackdown and ECW televised events showing in Birmingham, England October 2007 if you watched this on Sky Sports this is the exacted same 3 programs with the adverts cut and replaced with don't try this at home segments. The DVD is not bad ECW as always though has a bad show but now i will give you a list on the matches.

Raw

Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy

Santino Marella vs. Val Venis

Mr Kennedy vs. Randy Orton

Mr. McMahon introduces Umaga

Candice Michelle vs. Jillian Hall

Rory McAllister vs. Brian Kendrick

Hardcore Holly vs. Cody Rhodes

Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton

My thoughts:
Randy Orton wrestles 3 matches on Raw but all 3 are pretty good matches but then there mixed in with a match like Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes to boring wrestlers. I would only say what makes this Raw is the 3 Randy Orton matches the rest are nothing special but there is some great backstage segments with Hornswoggle and Coach

Now the ECW List

ECW

Handicap Match
CM Punk & Kane vs. Big Daddy V, John Morrison & The Miz

Elijah Burke & Nunzio vs. Jesse & Festus

John Morrison vs. The Miz

My thoughts:
First of all why team Elijah Burke with Nunzio that is to stupid i would say Elijah is to good for Nunzio anyway they end of losing to boring Jesse and Festus. John Morrison vs The Miz another match that lacks they could at least used another ECW star for the match but no they did'nt. The only match that is decent is the handicap match and thats only because CM Punk and Kane team together.

Now the listing to the Smackdown matches

SmackDown

Great Khali vs. Kane

Chris Masters vs. Chuck Palumbo

Matt Hardy vs. Finlay

Drew McIntyre vs. Brian Major

Deuce & Domino vs. Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore

Undertaker vs. Jamie Noble

Rey Mysterio vs. MVP

My thoughts:
Smackdown is an ok show again matches that lack Undertaker vs Jamie Noble we knew that this match would not take long and you would know who wins anyway. Chris Masters vs Chuck Palumbo never took much notice as i really did not care about them. Matt Hardy vs Finlay is fairly good MVP gives Matt help in the match. Great Khali vs Kane is way better then there match from Wrestlemania 23. Rey Mysterio vs MVP this match would have been great but pretty short and Finlay wrecks everything.

But now is pretty much the best part on the DVD it's an exciting match from Raw in London this done April

Special Feature:
Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena (Raw live from Earl's Court, London - 23/4/07)
My thoughts:
This match is almost 45 minutes long i hate Cena but i don't mind Shawn Michaels but this for sure is one of the best UK matches WWE have done. It is exciting and it is one of the reasons why you should buy this DVD. I can tell you it is way better then there Wrestlemaina 23 match.

Overall:
The 3 shows featured on the DVD all have matches that lack some you will love while others you will hate but if you are a WWE collector this one worth owning specially for the DVD extra.

Why are WWE events in the UK soooo bad?
I bought this several weeks ago, thinking it would be quite a good show. Theres plenty of matches and all three WWE shows are included. However, its the same with all the other WWE events held in the UK, they are never as good as they look. For example, Randy Orton appeared in three matches during the event, one of which ended within a few minutes and the other by disqualification.

A lot of these matches are just made to build up the hype for a PPV, which is really annoying. Most of the matches ended by DQ.

I must say the only decent WWE events I've ever seen are Insurrextion 2000 and 2002.

Overall, a good buy, but dont expect it to be as great as their normal events in America.

be wary
I have decided to make this a short enough review,essentially this is raw,smackdown and ecw shows in england,it is that and with that comes hype to advertise the up coming pay per view which at the time was cyber sunday 2007 so there are plenty of interviews,and very short matches trying to fuel the fire for the pay per view,the censoring of some moves is very annoying ,its like the stuff you see at 7am in the morning on one of the leading sports channels,it doesnt need to translate over to the dvd,there are some good enough matches for sure but this isnt overly essential.
