If you were a WCW fan and followed it back in the day, you know why and how all this came about. For someone like me, I remember what happened previously and what lead to some of these events, but if you are just a general wrestling fan and was wondering what the big hoopla was with WCW this will not do it for you. There is SO MUCH MISSING. I wouldnt loved DDP to give more commentary and built up the events ALOT more. Like why was Goldberg in cuffs, how the NWO got so big, why the NWO split, what lead to stings change, more of the DDP vs NWO battle, when did Bischoff become a NWO member, more Nick PAtrick being 1 sided before joining the NWO... So much coulda been added to this DVD. So much is just lacking to help the general audience get a grip on what really happened with WCW.
Is 3 DVD's enough?? I dont think so, this coulda of been so much better if it was like 5 discs. There is just SO MUCH.
I would love to see a best of WCW or a WCW collection. Just something that give people a better idea of what WCW was about. There was just so much that WCW had to offer that I'm sure the WWE doesn't want you to know cause WCW was a better product then WWF back then.
So all in all.
Pros:
Good for the WCW Fan
Alot of key events back on Nitro
Great to see Stars that no one has seen in forever
Some good matches
Cons:
No build up to the events
DDP was wasted as comentary
Lacks ALOT of events that were very important on Nitro
All over the place, no way to follow anything that really was going on
WCW Fan rating 4/5 Stars
General Audience 3/5 stars
I gave it 4/5 cause I was a die hard WCW fan back in the day, and it was great to relive some of these great moment, and hearing old entrances like Sting (darkside) and DDP and of course hearing some NWO.
Which would be nice to have a CD set "Best of WCW entrances" I would love to relives some of those entrance songs again.
But back to topic, if you were a die hard wcw fan you will enjoy reliving some of these great moments.
If you are just a general wrestling fan, I would recomment renting or borrowing this, unless you just have to have ever DVD released cause you collect. I think as a general fan you will get lost.
Disc 1
Brian Pillman [RIP] VS. Jushin Liger
The first match of the set was also the first-ever match in the history of Nitro. Although this doesn't measure up with their classic match from Superbrawl II, This was a nice fast-paced match. ***1/2
For the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Hulk Hogan VS. Big Bubba Rogers [RIP]
I'ma say this now: I never really thought much of Hogan as a wrestler but by the time he got to WCW he was WAY over the hill. This was the main event of the first episode of Nitro and this is at least a somewhat tolerable match. Of interest mainly for the return of Lex Luger from WWF after this match ended. **1/2
Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage [RIP] VS. Ric Flair and Arn Anderson
This is one of the better WCW Hogan matches i've seen and this is no surprise since every man he's surrounded by in this match is an infinitely better wrestler than him!! Flair and Anderson really make this match worth watching as they attempt their usual heel tactics on Hogan and Savage and the good wrestling that was provided in this match makes this a good tag match. ****
For the WCW World Tag Team Championships
Champions Sting and Lex Luger VS. The Road Warriors
This was a pretty good tag title match and it was nice to see the pre-crow Sting and The Road Warriors. ***1/2
Parking Lot Brawl
Lord Steven Regal VS. Belfast Bruiser
NOW THIS IS ENTERTAINING!!! With the ring removed and a few cars put in its place, These 2 men put on a good match in this hardcore parking lot brawl!! These 2 guys put on a match that could've rivaled the original ECW in terms of hardcore [look out for the spot where the Bruiser attempts to kick Regal but misses and instead kicks a window of a car completely shattering it!!] and although i don't remember his opponent of this match, Regal was great here and it shows the diversity of Regal's wrestling abilities and it's a shame that Regal never did get a real chance to shine because he would've made a great champion in either WCW or WWE. The only reason i will not rate this match higher than what i'm gonna rate it is because this match definitely needed some blood. ****
Ric Flair VS. Eddie Guerrero [RIP]
What a great match!!! Matches like this were the reason that Nitro kicked Raw's butt in the ratings for a while!!!! There's plenty of great in-ring action on display here and the late great Eddie Guerrero shows even here that he was such an excellent wrestler that will be missed for many many years. Flair did a pretty well job in this match as well as there were plenty of suspenseful near-falls and good technical wrestling. Fans of either Guerrero or Flair need to see this one!!! ****1/2 [Best Match of disc 1]
Triangle match for the WCW World Tag Team Championships
Champions Sting and Lex Luger VS. The Steiner Brothers VS. Harlem Heat
I've never really been a big fan of 3 way tag team matches but this was a pretty decent match. ***1/2
Sting and Lex Luger VS. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall
This was an okay match but nothing special in my opinion. ***
Rey Mysterio VS. Dean Malenko
These two guys NEVER had a bad match and this match was pretty good just like all of the other matches these 2 had in WCW. It's too bad Malenko doesn't get too many matches on this set because he was one hell of a wrestler. ****
Disc 2 [I call this the NWO disc because they appear in almost every single match and segment on this disc!]
Diamond Dallas Page VS. Mark Starr
This was just a squash match that could've easily been left off of this set [but they could've instead just left in the aftermath of the match where the NWO attempted to recruit DDP]. **
For the WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Champion Syxx VS. Rey Mysterio
A pretty good fast-paced cruiserweight match marred only by the presence of the NWO. ***1/2
For the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Hollywood Hogan VS. Lex Luger
Not really a good match as i'm not really much of a fan of either of these guys. I guess it was okay for a tv match. **1/2
Diamond Dallas Page VS. Buff Bagwell
This was just an average match. It was nice to see Raven though [why wasn't any of his segments with the flock included in this set????????????]. **1/2
Sting VS. Randy Savage [RIP]
A pretty good match here. Interestingly, The Macho Man was in a no man's land as he was neither on WCW's or the NWO's side any longer so that meant he had nobody to trust anymore. This match was pretty good for what it was. ***1/2
For the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Hollywood Hogan VS. Goldberg
Somewhat of an overrated match, This match was watchable mainly due to the audience. Keep in mind that neither of these guys were great wrestlers [although both were entertaining] so you're not gonna see great technical moves or anything like that. I must say that this match was a missed opportunity for WCW as they could've made MILLIONS if this match was saved for Starrcade 98. Instead, in true Bischoff fashion, This match was allowed to main event an episode of Nitro in an attempt to defeat Raw again for the week [by this time the attitude era was under way in the WWF and they made a comeback in the ratings against WCW]. This match did earn Nitro higher ratings than Raw for the week it aired but it was an average match at best. **1/2
For the WCW World Tag Team Championships
Champions Kevin Nash and Sting VS. Scott Hall and The Giant
This was another average tag title match. ***
Rey Mysterio VS. Chris Jericho
I liked this match. Nitro was a good show partly because of the excellent action that the cruiserweights provided throughout. If you like either of these guys you'll like this match. ****
For the WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Champion Juventud Guerrera VS. Billy Kidman
I was happy to see another cruiserweight match and boy was this a great one!!! Lots of aerial action were put on display from these two and there was never a dull moment in this match. The story here was that Billy Kidman [along with the other members of the flock] abandoned Raven the night before this match and this was Kidman's first match outside of the flock and this is where he won his first cruiserweight title. This is a great example of just how essential the cruiserweights were to WCW. ****1/2 [best match on disc 2]
For the WCW U.S. Championship
Champion Bret Hart VS. Diamond Dallas Page
This was a decent match especially when you take into consideration how lackluster Bret's WCW stint really was. ***
Ric Flair VS. Eric Bischoff
I know this was a hot feud in 98 but this match could've really been left off as this match is just a terrible squash match. *
Disc 3
For the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Kevin Nash VS. Hollywood Hogan
This is the infamous Fingerpoke Of Doom. In terms of wrestling this was absolutely nothing but in terms of sheer comedy, this is still the funniest moment in all of wrestling history!!!!! Sure stuff like this played a large role in the downfall of WCW but i'm willing to bet that you laughed at least once when you saw this!!!! ***** [FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES ONLY]
For the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Diamond Dallas Page VS. Sting
EXCELLENT MATCH!! Although this match happened when WCW was beginning to fall, You can't deny that this was one hell of a match!!! Sting and DDP put on excellent performances throughout and they both make this match a bonafide classic!! This was one of the best matches in Nitro history and i'm very greatful that this was included in this set and in my opinion, this was the best match of the entire set [even if it is on the worst disc]. This was a pay-per-view caliber title match and i would have to say that both of these men really tore the house down in this match as the crowd was really into it!!! Sure there were even better matches than this on Nitro throughout the years but for what was included on this set, It doesn't get any better than this right here!!!! This was DDP's best match of all time and this match stands as a testament to how great of a wrestler Sting really was back then. This match alone is worth the price of this set!!! ***** [best match on disc 3 and the best match of the entire set]
Eddie Guerrero [RIP] VS. Juventud Guerrera
This was Guerrero's first match back since an unfortunate accident he suffered earlier in 1999 and he puts on a good performance against Juventud here. ***1/2
Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, and Sting VS. Kevin Nash, Sid Vicious, and Rick Steiner
An okay 6 man tag which sees the return of the red and yellow Hulk Hogan. The match is nothing special but it's worth a watch. ***
Diamond Dallas Page VS. Billy Kidman
This was an impromptu match which started because of the fact that DDP [who was by now a heel] overheard Kidman's opinion on his then-wife Kimberly which infuriated DDP and lead to DDP attacking Kidman. This was an alright match. ***
For the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Bret Hart VS. Goldberg
On the night after Starrcade 99 Bret and Goldberg wrestled to determine who was the real WCW champion after Bret forfeited the title 24 hours earlier. This was not that good of a match and this match is notable for the reunion of the NWO. **1/2
For the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Sid Vicious VS. Kevin Nash
As the WCW commissioner, Kevin Nash banned Sid Vicious from using the powerbomb which was designed to make this even more of a challenge for Sid. This was nothing but another big man's match and this could be skipped. **
Steel Cage Match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Jeff Jarrett VS. Diamond Dallas Page
This painfully average cage match took place in the height of the Russo era and this is not a good match despite the talent involved. **
Ladder Match
Jung Dragons VS. 3 Count
Although this took place during a horrible time in WCW's history this match was pretty good as all six of these guys gave it their all despite the little time that was put aside for this match. This doesn't compare to the ladder matches WWF was having with Edge and Christian and The Hardy's but it's a fun little match. ***
For the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Booker T VS. Lance Storm
Booker was a great wrestler in WCW and more of his matches deserved to be on this set but oh well i guess this is all Vince wanted to show of Booker's matches in this set. Lance Storm actually had a pretty worthy stint in WCW as he once held the U.S., Hardcore, and Cruiserweight titles simultaneously and when this match took place Lance was considered a worthy challenger to Booker's WCW championship. This was a pretty good match that unfortunately was marred somewhat by the totally unnecessary ringside antics of Mike Awesome [during his dreadful fat chick thriller gimmick] . If you can put up with the stupid stuff Mike Awesome and some fat girl do at the announcer's desk, you'll find yourself enjoying this match but this match is also a good example of how stupid WCW had gotten. ***1/2
Triple cage war games match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
This match included then WCW champion Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Goldberg, Booker T, and several others in a match where the object was to climb the three cages and capture the WCW championship which was in the third cage and then go all the way back down and walk outside the cage with the belt. There was FAR too many things going on in this match making this a pain to watch. **
Sting VS. Ric Flair
This was the main event of the final episode of Nitro and in that aspect this is a historical match but is it a good match? Ultimately, no. It's not a terrible match but these two guys have had much better matches against each other over the years and this simply doesn't even begin to measure up to the classics these 2 had in the late 80's-early 90's. **1/2
There you have it. This set definitely could've used some more cruiserweight matches and could've shown more guys like Raven, La Parka, and Konnan. Unfortunately Chris Benoit doesn't get any matches on this set due to the infamous murder-suicide he committed back in 2007 [although he's seen on the Four Horsemen reunion segment]. This doesn't even BEGIN to show the best of Nitro as its loaded with a few too many needless segments and not enough great matches but this is worth the purchase for the classic match between Sting and DDP. Since this dvd was obviously a successful release i can only hope that WWE decides to do a volume 2 of this set [and maybe even a best of Thunder set].
