2017 sees the 30th anniversary of WWE's second best PPV event of the year, Royal Rumble. As a fan of WWE from a young age the rumble match is the one match I as a fan look forward to, it sets the pace for the whole year ahead and starts the road the Wrestlemania.
The True Story of the Royal Rumble is a look at the history of the ppv and the reasons behind it. It is just a shame that WWE have started going down the route of Behind the Music style documentaries instead of the old fashioned way of doing things, but hey ho.
The documentary was pretty good, we got to see behind the scenes stories from some of the biggest names in WWE like Ric Flair, Shawn Micheals and the first Rumble winner Hacksaw Jim Duggan. This is coupled with the events of the 2016 Royal Rumble which saw Triple H become WWE champion. What was interesting to see is the scenes of Royal Rumble 2014 & 2015 which saw very unpopular wins from Batista and of course Roman Reigns.
The selection of matches were fine, I would have liked to see the street fight between Triple H and Cactus Jack but thats my own personal taste but they were fine as a whole. I'm not sure what Blu-Ray extras you get on the Blu-Ray editon but fingers crossed it appeared on that one.
A worth while watch, but maybe wait till it goes down in price a little.
