WWE: Eric Bischoff - Sports Entertainment's Most Controversial Figure DVD Review

10. Typically Slick Production

When reviewing any WWE DVD release, it seems obvious to state that the presentation is second-to-none. However, it really is perfect here, sweeping transitions boldly leave subtle cliffhangers during some of the biggest moments in the story. It's all highly powerful stuff, strung together by production staff who have really become masters in their field.

One moment, Eric Bischoff is discussing the end of World Championship Wrestling, pondering comments made by talking heads that directly criticise his part in proceedings. Then the camera suddenly fades to black and Bischoff is shown fishing out by a lake, never missing a beat as he confronts the accusations.

Such segues are wonderfully done, never taking away from the story but switching up the music or background just enough to keep things interesting. If there's one overwhelming benefit to be gleaned from WWE productions, it's that the quality of shot and storytelling is always going to be a highlight.

This is - for all intents and purposes - an interview with Bischoff, but it's also the story of his life. Presented in the documentary format, it's all expertly handled.
