The documentary was real good, though I didn't watch the doug gentry part so I've no opinion like all the other people do about it. Generally, this was pretty good and I'd look forward to another volume. if I were to have put this together I would have focused on less performers so more can be talked about each of the ones I chose, making it a little deeper. maybe put more matches in there, too. Overall I really enjoyed this, though I do believe it could have been better.
I don't understand all the match selections, really. For Owen, why have the tag match with D'lo and the Nation (which didn't play through smoothly either) when there's better available matches that showcase Owen, like Owen Hart vs. Takayuki Izuka from TWA Autumn Armegeda II? Showcasing the wrestlers was the whole point, was it not? Curt Hennig vs Jerry Lawler was nice to see, but was honestly a little disappointing, as there's not much energy in the match compared to the abilities of each man involved. I'm sure there's much better matches available to choose from to represent Curt, but I've no idea why they weren't used instead. Also, the audio production, which wasn't horrible, could have been done a little better. That's just a minor bitch though.
If a volume two arrises, i'd like to see stuff on some older wrestlers, like the original Sheik, Bo Bo Brazil, Adrian Adonis and Art Barr. Also some stuff on wrestlers who's careers were cut short, but not by death. Like the Dynamite Kid or Rollerball Rocco. Again, overall good job. I'd like to give it a 3 and a half, but I don't have that option. I hope there is a volume two.

The dvd was put together very well, the Von Erich part was very interesting hearing kevin talking about trying to talk kerry out of killing himself. The only part i would criticize,,,,sorry to say was to much time spent on Doug,,,No disrespect to anyone at RFVideo he must have been a real special person it sounds like he touched alot of people but i would of like to have seen or heard from anybody from the show that Bruiser Brody was murdered.All in all i recommend this video to all to have for there collections.
