Synopsis
The saga of Undertaker and Kane has taken many sordid twists since the inferno that left their souls forever charred. The combustible combo has buried their deep-seeded rivalry on several occasions, always close enough to the surface to ignite at the touch of a spark. Still, their blood bond makes them an indomitable force in the ring. And every so often, old wounds close up long enough to unite WWE’s darkest duo under one common purpose – destruction.
In this DVD, see the Brothers of Destruction scorch their path of wreckage through WWE. Seven devastating matches against some of the greatest tag teams of the new millennium are presented in their entirety. Witness WWE’s most volatile Superstars, The Deadman and the Devil’s Favourite Demon, on the same page before they tear each other apart once again!
Runtime Info

And why are they released without match-listing??
It is too bad we here in North America are getting less and less WWE releases on Blu-Ray, even the ones that are released on BR are getting tougher to find, Walmart carries zero WWE BRs and FYE only orders two copies of each BR release and if you are not there on release day you miss out. Hard to complain about WWE not releasing more stuff on BR when the ones they do release obviously are not selling. We have the Network but what ever they stream live, like every PPV, the picture is always crap but the On-Demand stuff is fine, anyone else have this problem?
I agree its ridiculous that more Blurays arent being made and carried at more retailers have to order them all online, the network just isnt the same
What really bothers me is I would have bought this if it was what the back falsely promotes. ALL 3 pictures on the back are from their time together in 1998, which was much better than their later days. Yet only 2 matches from 1998 made the cut(and thats only on the Blu Ray so why in the hell put it on the DVD cover?) Very poor release by WWE on this one.
Ok the middle picture isnt from 1998, but still….
NO WAY!! I pass on this. The brothers choke slamming and tombstoning? How am I supposed to add another bathroom to my house?! Total waste of…wait…what? this dvd is called “brothers of destruction”? Ohhhhhhh, I thought it was called “brothers of CONSTRUCTION”. Sorry about that. In that, I will get it.
This always felt like such an odd release to me. I think considering the vast WWE library, they should take more advantage of doing bigger sets and this set could have been much bigger. I for one always have appreciated their box sets and thought they were a great way to give back to the loyal fans of so many years. I wish they were doing another box set this holiday season. I understand I’m throwing aside aspects like the Network and home video sales, but a bigger release is more footage we can purchase.
The only thing I’d say is that if this were a bigger and more anticipated set – three discs, for instance – then WWE would probably feel the need to include the more famous matches we’ve seen over and over again. I like the fact that this has crept in under the radar, as it has a load of TV matches that probably wouldn’t see the light of day on a higher profile set.
It reminds me of the old Coliseum releases, in a way. You wouldn’t want every DVD release to be like this, but once in a while doesn’t do much harm.
It’s not as if The Undertaker doesn’t have his fair share of DVDs (with a huge career retrospective presumably in the works), and it’s still a big step up from the Superstar Collection DVDs in my opinion.
Why the hell is this not getting a Blu-Ray release in North America?! We deserve it way more
While I agree with you that it should be on released on Bluray everywhere, I would not know why North American fans should deserve it more than other..
I am an European, and I am glad I could get to collect the complete ppv collections with the Silvervision releases, but I have never understood that politics from wwe, cos I would not consider me a more deserved fan or bull like that.
It is like with the different regions on codes for dvd and Bluray.. it should be boiled down to one. But, where ever there is money to make in different production modes and forms, the Green will always win. 😉
Simple answer is Europeans are adapting to Blu-ray much quicker than North Americans therefore sales are higher.
North Americans are pretty slow to adapt to new technology. There are still people out their that cling to their 20 year CRT sets and VCRs just because they still work. Like move on already.
Gonna pass on this one they could have put more effort into this release…this was a pure lazy effort by WWE…more matches and no blu ray for North America…
I agree.. they should have saved this release to be part of the inevitable upcomming release on The Undertaker.. 3 hours of Brothers of Destruction could easyli fit in a 3-4 Bluray discs set on The Deadman.
