A late review of Triple H: 'Thy Kingdom Come'

So I finally got my hands on the Triple H DVD title "Thy Kingdom Come" the other day and decided to give a rather late review of it.

I'm going to give it a star rating a la the movie business. I thought about giving it thumbs up or down like Siskel and Ebert used to do, but with a wrestling twist — thumbs to the eye. But I'm only one person although I have two opposable thumbs and it would seem unfair to judge a DVD based off only one or two thumbs.

Let me know in the comments, Twitter, or email whether you like the thumbs to the eye and I'll go with it, but for now, we'll go with a star rating.

Now, on to the review of the DVD.

What you are about to read is my thoughts on the documentary portion of the DVD. The DVD itself comes on three discs with the documentary on the first and some matches throughout Triple H's career on the second two.

The match selection is decent, but does have some notable omissions. The big omissions are his two matches with the Undertaker, which were talked about extensively during the documentary.

The documentary itself was very well done, in my opinion. The only problem was that Triple H's story isn't all that interesting. At least the overall story isn't.

There were some funny stories and anecdotes touched upon during the documentary such as Killer Kowalski giving Triple H the name Terra Ryzing and Ric Flair giving him a Frenchman gimmick in WCW.

But the overall story was not up to the par of Shawn Michaels' in "Heartbreak and Triumph" or CM Punk's in "Best in the World." There are few others where the story was just more captivating than Triple H's.

The overall story could have been a little better if they didn't gloss over so many things. I guess they don't want to get too candid and in-depth with the COO of the company, but there was a lot left out there that the DVD could have embellished on.

That's not to say that there wasn't any candor because there was. Triple H himself provided a good portion of it with some colorful stories and language. The Undertaker even made a rare appearance in candid form.

But there were still some things they could have gone into more detail on, in my opinion.

What they did spend a decent amount of time on was his early career. The DVD covered in pretty good detail his career leading up to him slitting from D-Generation X and winning his first WWE title. The DVD seemed to sort of gloss over everything after that point of his career.

From there, it goes into a lot about his marriage with Stephanie McMahon, which was expected. It was interesting to hear about the heat backstage the couple drew just from being together.

Another thing the DVD goes into detail about was Triple H's match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania XXV.

Triple H spoke about being outdone by Undertaker and Michaels earlier in the show (Which also happened at WrestleMania X-8 by Hulk Hogan and The Rock.) In his opinion, that didn't help his match any. Piling on to that was the fact that he and Orton built an angle that called for knock down, drag-out fight, but instead had to avoid disqualification.

Triple H felt it hurt the match a good deal. Orton didn't seem to care either way. He was just happy with being in the main event at WrestleMania.

Triple H's story is an interesting one for one main thing: It's an inside look at the man who will run the wrestling business one day. The end is mostly about his new role as COO and the tough task it is for him.

It was essentially saying, "Get a good look at him in these expensive suits. You're going to be seeing this visual for quite some time."

At the end of the day, "Thy Kingdom Come" is a good but not great DVD. If you're a Triple H fan, you may find it great. If you're not a huge fan of him, which a lot of the Internet fans aren't, you're probably going to hate it because it does its fair share of gushing over Triple H. He can do no wrong, according to this DVD.

Out of five stars, I give it 3 1/2. It's good, but could have been better. It's a notch below the Michaels, CM Punk, Mankind and Steve Austin DVDs, but it's not bad.
