"WWE finally released the 3 disk set of everyones favorite Rattlesnake. Since I don't own the other Stone Cold DVD's this was a pretty good buy for me. The documentary is laid out in the same format as Hulk Hogans. Stone Cold speaks on when and how he came up in the business and several other things. Then it will go into the match. Now not all of the matches feature the full entrances but they are in it's entirety, except for one. This mostly is for the WCW and ECW matches in which there are very little of. I'll describe what is on each disk.
Disk 1
Austin speaks on when and how he began wrestling. Teaming up with Brian Pillman. He talks about being fired from WCW and Paul E. eventually picking him. Then his run in the WWE. He talks about a couple of angles as well. There are lots of clips showing these events. The matches featured here are;

The feud with Triple H and his second neck injury are touched up on. He also mentions that he hand picked Eddie Guerrero for one of his matches. These are the matches;

The extras advertised on this disk is the Redneck Triathlon which is not on here. Taking it's place is Stone Cold's Gladiator commercial and the making of it. Also Austin being revealed as Vince's illegitimate son in it's full entirety.
Now I don't believe everyone will be happy with this collection of matches or interviews. I'm sure we all have our opinions on what should be here. Overall I'm satisfied for the most part. But, it definitly could have used the Dusty Rhodes treatment.
What I'm not satisified with is that Stone Cold is the only one you will hear from. There are no appearances from anyone who has worked with him. Now that's a disappointment for me. Also there are no references to Chris Benoit at all. The no DQ match with Triple H of Survivor Series is edited at the end. The parts when the Radicals attacked Austin is gone without a trace. I know what Benoit did was horrible but the match shouldn't have been added if it was going to be altered.
I still think most fans will be satisfied. If it wasn't because of several matches being added. My rating would be lower."
