Customer Reviews

old-school wrestling at its best.
just what the doctor ordered, a marvellous compilation of the good old days of the W.W.E before it all went too far.
the matches selected, start from 1980 and end up at 1988.
certain wrestlers have been selected in having the highlights of their careers shown in various matches plus a featurette on each wrestler.some of the names chosen are as follows: hulk hogan (naturally), ric flair, dusty rhodes, junkyard dog, sgt. slaughter, paul 'mr. wonderful' orndoff, greg valentine, the iron shiek, roddy piper plus six others. a shame those of andre the giant and don muraco weren't included.
great to see madison square garden as it used to be.
a terrific slice of wrestling nostalgia that no wrestling fan should be without.

1980s - Back To The Future and then Back To The Past!
I'm not a huge fan oft this DVD compilation, despite its 3 discs and apparent wealth of footage. Firstly the main feature stinks, each 'star' of the 1980s is giving a 15 minute slot, meaning that their career and matches are brushed over and nothing is explored in much depth. Secondly, many of the true greatest stars of the 1980s don't seem to feature on the DVD very much, probably due to the fact they are not in WWE's agenda, such as Randy Savage, Ted Dibiase, Andre The Giant, and Rick Rude. The DVD extras are strong, and the bonus matches range from ok (Sheik vs. Hogan) to classic bouts (Lawler vs. Von Erich). Overall, this is not a bad DVD, but given that it has 3 discs, it could have been a hell of a lot better. It should have focused on 6 or 7 stars, and truly given them the justice they deserve.
