WWE Superstar Collection: Sheamus DVD Review
Many of you are probably wondering why I decided to buy and review a Sheamus DVD, but there are two reasons behind it. The first being that it came along with ECW Unreleased Volume 1 for only $9.99. Two DVD's for $10? That's a deal. Secondly, although I've never been a big fan of Sheamus (and I've been anti-Sheamus in the past), I've recently become somewhat of a fan of him. His in-ring work is superb and his improved alot recently. As long as he stays off the mic and doesn't play superman, I enjoy his matches.
This DVD takes a look back at the early years of Sheamus' career in WWE, spanning from late 2009-early 2012. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably remember me bitching about how quick he got the title so it's gonna be interesting going back and watching the progression of his career and seeing my views on it from a 2014 perspective. Without further a due, let's get into this Superstar Collection DVD on Sheamus.
1) John Cena vs. Sheamus - Tables Match for the WWE Championship - TLC 2009
I didn't see this match when it originally happened, I had only heard about it as I don't regularly order WWE PPV's. I must say I was surprised by this match. It wasn't amazing by any means, but it was an enjoyable contest. I've learned that if you can get past your pre-conceived views on someone, you will enjoy some contests that you never thought you could. This is one of those matches.

ECW Unreleased Volume 1 DVD Review
ECW Unreleased Volume 1 DVD Review
1) Shane Douglas vs. 2 Cold Scorpio - NWA World Championship Match - Hardcore TV
This was the match that changed everything. Well, what happend after the match changed everything. The match itself was a solid encounter between Douglas and Scorpio although it came off as just an average encounter. I feel it could have been much better given the two guys involved, but that's not to take away from it as it was still a good match. Afterwards, Shane Douglas cuts the promo in which he throws the NWA Championship to the ground and says that all the legends who held it could kiss his ass. Douglas then brings out the ECW Championship. That promo was the beginning of the era of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
Match rating - ***
2) Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven - Hostile City Showdown
With this being a best of ECW set, there's no way a match from the Raven/Dreamer feud couldn't be included. It was one of the most famous feuds in the history of the company.
