I got the honor of seeing ECW/SmackDown/Superstars (one match) live in person and as a live event it was very fun to watch, as far as the DVD goes, it was also enjoyable to watch, however I didn't see the raw show live but as a stand alone show it was also quite good. As far as this DVD goes-it is quite an enjoyable collection of shows and there are some very good matches in them, but there are also some bad ones.
With that being said I will give a full non-spoiler review for WWE Live in the UK April 2009

Raw
Overall I thought Raw was actually quite good, there were some very good matches and this show was quite exciting, it also got people ready for Backlash 2009 (though obviously a year later that may not mean much).

Segment: Chris Jericho/Ricky The Dragon Steamboat/John Cena-An OK segment to open the show, as usual Chris Jericho was very entertaining, essentially this was just a way to set up matches and worked well but I felt it went on for too long and is quite pointless to watch now.

Chavo Guerrero VS Batista: N/A-Not really a match as it was so quick, for what it was though it was fairly funny

Kane VS CM Punk: 7/10-An enjoyable match, featured some good back and forth action and was quite fast paced and featured lots of action. Good stuff

Segment: Santino Marrela/Beth Phoenix-Terrible segment, not funny just annoying, I am truly glad the horrible Santina stuff is over.

Women's Championship Match: Melina VS Beth Phoenix: 7/10-Very fun match from two of WWE's best Diva's, this match is clear proof that WWE can make a good women's match if they want.

John Cena VS Chris Jericho: 9/10-Excellent match, these two did brilliant things and gave a very exciting and action packed match and featured a great ending, this is probably the best match on the DVD set

Rey Mysterio VS The Big Show: 5/10-OK match, just very short and it made Rey look very week which is annoying

No DQ match: Triple H VS Randy Orton: 8/10-People say these two have bad and boring matches, well this match proves that they actually can have a good match. They worked very well and did some brutal things against each other. Really enjoyed this match and this should have been the match they had back at wrestlemania 25.

ECW
Overall I didn't think much of this episode of ECW, it was extremely forgettable and didn't feature anything exciting, one decent match, when I saw this live I enjoyed it but even then I knew that it wasn't much on TV.

Segment: Finlay/Hornswoggle/Tyson Kidd/Natalya-Not funny at all, it was just annoying

Hornswoggle VS Natalya: 1/10-Not a funny match, it was just stupid

Evan Bourne VS Paul Burchil: 6/10-Not actually a bad match at all, it was just a bit boring at times, it did feature some exciting moments but overall I felt that it dragged on a bit

Vladimir Kozlov VS Frankie Sloan: 0/10-This was a squash match, and it wasn't good at all, it didn't make Kozlov look good-it was just further proof of how boring and crap he is

Segment: Christian VS Jack Swagger contract signing for Backlash 2009: An OK contract sining and it did well to set up their match for Backlash, however watching it now is very pointless.

Superstars
This episode of Superstars was actually quite good, I only saw the ECW match live in attendance and of course being there live made it fun but on DVD-not so much.

Rey Mysterio & CM Punk VS Kane & The Big Show: 7/10-This was quite a good match, it was fast paced and featured some good team work mechanics. Quite enjoyable.

Finlay & Hornswoggle VS Tyson Kidd & Natalya: 4/10-It was very short which I suppose is a good thing for this match, it wasn't very good but had a funny moment I'll admit that. However the ridiculous ending was so stupid and when I watched it live, I found it quite embarasing to watch.

Segment: John Cena interview: Before the interview there was a replay showing the past events of Raw which I found annoying that they included it in the DVD mostly because it already features the show! I understand that it was part of the show originally and led to the interview well, but to watch it on the DVD was annoying (and this is not the only time it happens).
As far as the interview goes, it was just John Cena talking very seriously about his forthcoming match with Edge, again it's a little pointless to watch it now.

Edge Vs Kofi Kingston: 8/10-A very enjoyable match with some very good back and forth action, made both guys look good and kept the match exciting throughout

SmackDown
This was a very good show and probably the best of the set. There were three brilliant PPV level matches in it, and of course seeing it live was just amazing for me.

Segment: Edge-Edge talking about his match with John Cena at Backlash 09, watching it live was great as I got to see Edge, but on DVD, its a bit long however it did get you excited for the match at backlash

Jeff Hardy & CM Punk VS Matt Hardy & Kane: 8/10-Great tag team match and very exciting, fast paced and full of action. Great!

The Undertaker VS The Big Show: 8/10-Another great match from these two. Worked very well together and looked brilliant to see two great power house wrestlers go mad all out against each other

Diva's Championship match: Maryse VS Gail Kim: 6/10-This match was ok, it was fairly short, which was ashame but it's still able to entertain

Chavo Guerrero VS MVP: 5/10-Average match, that's all

Batista & Shane McMahon VS Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBase: 8/10-Very good main event to a very good show. Really enjoyable match and easy to get into

Bonus
One thing I truly hate about this DVD is that they decided to include the most pointless matches as bonus features. The two bonus matches were dark matches which took place before Raw and ECW (dark matches to get the crowd ready), what seriously annoys me is that at the end of these events there were special matches that took place (Raw I believe featured a match between John Cena and Edge whilst ECW/SmackDown had Triple H Vs Randy Orton in a steal cage match-which was a very good match might I say). So why couldent they include these brilliant matches instead of these terrible matches? That really does annoy me though the DVD is redeemed slightly by the addition of the Shawn Michaels VS British Bulldog match.

Dolph Ziggler VS William Regal: 4/10-Poor match and unexciting.

R-Truth VS Umaga: 3/10-see above, except this one is a little worse.

European tour Photo Gallery: Just photos of happy fans with the wrestlers in different countries, fairly interesting

European Championship match (one Night Only, 1997): The British Bulldog VS Shawn Michaels: 9/10-As this was such a great match it makes up for the special features issue, this was really fun and featured two of wwe's greatest in a classic match

Overall this DVD set is one with very mixed emotions: Raw featured average to amazing matches, ECW was very forgettable, superstars had some good matches and smackdown was just great.
The only reason i originally brought this DVD was because I saw some shows live and wanted to watch them again as they brought back great family memories for me. However as far as this set goes its fairly enjoyable as there are some very good matches but also some very bad matches (and i mean VERY bad).
So I would say give it a try as there are some really enjoyable matches but this is not a great collection due to featuring to many crap-average matches.

I give the WWE Live in the UK April 2009 DVD a 7/10
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it and I hope this review was helpful to you!

The main reason i bought this dvd was cos i went to the smackdown/ecw but it was still a fantastic dvd!
Raw-a ppv quality show and hhh vs orton was a superb match which was just as good if not better than their wrestlemania match.
ECW- not bad bourne vs burchill was a very good match
Superstars-Better than ECW especially with the kofi vs edge match
Smackdown-Great show with 3 main event worthy matches in punk and jeff vs matt and kane,taker vs big show and legacy vs batista and shane o mac
Extras-Good lengthy extras with two decent untelevised matches,tour highlights and a brilliant match from 1997 between the british bulldog and hbk finish a magnificent and highly recommended dvd.

Watch this after WM25 and before Backlash.

RAW: 3/5 The best match is John Cena vs Chris Jericho, and the Divas match are also good between Melina and Phoenix. The worst is Kane vs CM Punk and much of the rest aren%u2019t that good either.

ECW: 3/5 The best is the contractsigning between Christian and Swagger. The worst is Hornswoggle vs Natalya but that one is fun.

SUPERSTARS: 4/5 The best match is Edge vs Kofi Kingston. Nothing really bad here. Even Hornswoggle and his tennisballs are OK.

SMACKDOWN: 4+/5 The best match is Batista & Shane vs Priceless. I know Shane is no wrestler, but this one is good. Actually all matches on Smackdown are good.

Extras: There%u2019s two matches from the tour. Regal vs Ziggler which is good and an awful match between R-Truth and Umaga. And then we have the old CLASSIC between Shawn Michaels and British Bulldog from One Night Only 97 which is the best match of the DVD, but that one we have seen before%u2026
