Despite a familiar line-up and the feelings of relative staleness due to the end of WrestleMania Season, Payback 2013 is surprisingly a great show to watch, and therefore the DVD should provide you with plenty of entertainment.

The first Battleground event has a decent line-up, but strangely misfires in several ways, making it feel like a glorified episode of Raw. Therefore, whilst not terrible, the DVD is a bit of a struggle to watch.

Hopefully, given that he is still only 36, we may get a third collection in the future, as Randy Orton will hopefully keep hitting RKO's from outta nowhere for some time to come.

A proper documentary could have elevated this into a package worthy of Brock's mega-star status; as it is, it is one which may only be fully appreciated by those who wish to take a trip to Suplex City.

As well as The Undertaker, Lesnar’s battles against John Cena, Triple H, and Seth Rollins are already the stuff of sports-entertainment legend – all essential additions to any WWE DVD collection!

2013 wasn't really the best year ever for WWE on Pay-Per-View, but most of the supershow highlights from that period can be found here.

Based on what we do have here, though, this is another fine entry in the series. Taker vs. HHH is a classic, and there are at least another half-a-dozen matches that are really good or in some way memorable.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of action, which maintains a strong standard across the first two discs and has some surprises, twists and turns during some of the less fondly-remembered matches. If you want to relive WWE in 2011, this is a very good set to watch.

This is an excellent wrestling DVD that provides a nice look back at a great time for wrestling action on SmackDown, and a look at someone who seemed destined to achieve great things.

I thought that this was a fun DVD to watch, but I'd recommend you watch it in parts, between the weekly television shows or even between watching other DVDs, and you will probably appreciate it more. Had it been reduced by a disc and if some of the filler had been taken out, the rating below would have been higher.

There's enough quality material to keep you entertained, even if these shows are inferior on the whole to those held in London a few months beforehand.

Things would improve for the better a few weeks later with the arrival of a certain faction known as The Shield. They would play a key role in the next round of UK tapings, which I will document in the April 2013 review.

This is an okay DVD, but certainly not the best of the Live In The UK releases.

As an overall package, this is a great wrestling DVD. So, is this one that all Daniel Bryan fans should purchase? Take a wild guess at the answer ... Yes! Yes! Yes!

Newer fans may find this a bit of a chore to sit through, but those who grew up watching wrestling in the 1980s and who remain fans today should get a kick out of this compilation. By no means is this an essential purchase, but I do think it's worth having this in your collection.

To conclude, this DVD isn't quite in the same league as Breaking The Code. However, it is a very enjoyable and entertaining look at some of Jericho's most memorable matches,  but is more notable for bringing together plenty of hidden gems and unreleased battles. If you're a Jerichoholic, you will love this DVD.

The selection of matches is very good, but they are overshadowed by the brutally honest documentary. For wrestling fans, CM Punk: Best In The World is an essential purchase.

It is not one of the absolute best wrestling DVDs ever, but the Money In The Bank Anthology is definitely on the rung just below. It is a great compilation that all WWE fans will love.

Here, you get an incredible WrestleMania and an equally must-watch Hall Of Fame, and a bonus match to boot. If you haven't already, buy this DVD today.

I would suggest giving this DVD a viewing. It won't make any Best Of lists of its own, and you'll probably have seen most of the profiled moments in full elsewhere but, mainly because of the addition of Raw 1000, it's fairly enjoyable. If you can, buy the Blu-ray instead of the DVD as it is a more complete package.
