WWE: Jeff Hardy – My Life, My Rules

Hands down, this is the best WWE DVD release of the last year.

The basis of this set is a brand new documentary about the Extreme Enigma, with never-before-seen contributions from Hardy himself.

Rather than a straight narrative, the doc begins its story during preparations for Jeff’s last match, and then bounces back and forth between that match and interviews, clips and reactions from Jeff on certain moments in his career.

Unlike other WWE releases, My Life, My Rules doesn’t shy away from the meatier elements of its star’s life, so tackles head-on his drug suspensions, house fire and the death of his dog. Refreshingly, some of Jeff’s comments almost seem like they came from a shoot interview. Indeed, it’s surprising that Vince McMahon has allowed him to talk about the WWE wellness policy and how he disagrees with elements of it.

The documentary is less than an hour long though, so the bulk of this three-disc collection is made up with choice matches from Hardy’s career. It begins with a match against The 1-2-3 Kid in 1994 when he was just 16, and moves on through to the golden age of tag team wrestling (The Hardy Boys, The Dudley Boyz, Edge and Christian) right up to his epic battles with Triple H and CM Punk.

Unlike Hulk Hogan Unreleased, this DVD is a must for anyone with even a passing interest in WWE.

Jeff Hardy: My Life, My Rules is available to buy to on DVD.
