The First (And Second) Look At "The Next Big Thing"
Back in 2003, WWE released a one disc DVD set of Brock Lesnar since he was definitely the biggest new superstar to come from WWE since the Attitude Era at that time. However nobody knew that he would eventually leave the company a short time afterwords & returned almost a decade later as a bigger name than when he left due to his accomplishments in the Ultimate Fighting Championship MMA promotion causing WWE to release a "Collector's Edition" of this set.

Other contributors include Big Show, Dreamer, Rey, Cena, Angle, and many many more. You learn of the extent of Lesnar's WM19 injury and other great stuff. Unlike what one of the other "review writers" wrote these events are not highlighted, (WWE SMACKDOWN! Ring collapsing, (it is...
