I think that this one will be a great DVD, but I am not sure why Cena vs. Jericho is on and there is no CM Punk matches

Disc three lacks but one and two look awesome!

Wait a second, why is WCW included in here? From what I understand, WWE considers the current WHC seperate. In fact, I believe they even keep the title history seperated from each other. Anyways, the DVD looks great, but I doubt I'll end up getting it.

There are better matches that they could have used for Disc3. Taker vs. Batista at WM should have been on there. Take away Cena vs. Jericho, HHH vs. HBK was an old school, attack a body part kind of match. HHH really took it to HBK's knee it that match, it was a good match.

HHH vs. RVD is on there because it was the first time that the WWE WHC was defended on PPV.
