Shawn Michaels Boyhood Dream/Download

This DVD is a promising example of World Wrestling Entertainment re-releasing videos previously only available on VHS. Originally titled 'Heartbreak Express Tour', it features 8 matches (none of which are shown in their entirety), but that's not the point anyway. 'Boyhood Dream' is a fun look at Shawn Michaels' peak from Wrestlemania XII (March '96) to the Royal Rumble in January 1997.

 

The matches are:

Wrestlemania XII- HBK vs. Bret Hart (Iron Man match)

In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies- HBK vs. Diesel

In Your House: Beware of Dog- HBK vs. British Bulldog

In Your House: International Incident- HBK/Ahmed Johnson/Sycho Sid vs. Vader/Owen Hart/British Bulldog

Summerslam '96- HBK vs. Vader

In Your House: Mindgames- HBK vs. Mankind

Survivor Series '96- HBK vs. Sycho Sid

Royal Rumble '97- HBK vs. Sycho Sid

 

Nearly 30 minutes of the WMXII Iron Man match is here, along with most matches clipped down to 10-15 minutes with a total running time of 2 hours. All matches featured are great and to watch a condensed version of them does not diminish the value of this DVD, especially with a price tag of $8-12 in most areas. A must have for fans of Shawn Michaels.

 

Hopefully, with the release of this and the 'History of Wrestlemania I-IX' on DVD, more out of print World Wrestling FEDERATION action will be coming our way.
