A LOT left out!!!
After watching the DVD a couple more times and letting everything settle, I have changed my
opinion SLIGHTLY. I am still bothered by the fact that so many of WCW's biggest angles like
the nWo split, Starrcade 1997, the almost ECW invasion and so on were just ignored. I am
also still a little upset at how much of the DVD was focused on the NWA. Yes, WCW was
born from the death of NWA (Mid-Atlantic / Jim Corckett Promotions), but the NWA and WCW
were two different companies when you look at it. I believe that the NWA should have had it's
own DVD. But maybe that's just me. It covers a lot of things like the NWA gaining some ground
with guys like Flair, Dusty, Magnum TA and others, Crockett's mismanagment of the company,
Ted Turner buying it, WCW taking over and the "revolving door" of Bookers that included Dusty,
Ole Anderson and Bill Watts and Ted Turner (WCW) buying the company.
From there we go into guys like Sting, Ricky Steamboat and others bringing the new company to
the masses, another "revolving door" until Eric Bischoff took over, Mike Graham giving Bischoff
ideas on how to run the company (which Bischoff takes credit for), signing Hogan and Savage, the
formation of the nWo, how Bischoff stole the idea for the nWo from New Japan Pro Wrestling, the
Cruiserweight division, guys like Jericho, Malenko, Guerrero, Mysterio and all the rest of those guys
bringing in the younger audience, Bischoff taking credit for the Cruiserweights (even though he stole
most of them, and the idea to feature them from ECW), the rise of Goldberg and the undefeated streak
that followed, the feud between DDP and Hogan, Goldberg beating Hogan for the belt on Nitro, the PPV
company cutting Halloween Havoc 1998 off after WCW ignored the time limit resulting in WCW having
to refund MILLIONS of dollars to fans, Nash taking over as the booker and forcing Goldberg to drop the
belt to him at Starrcade. Bischoff is gone, politics get exposed with that and then Hogan coming back
and beating Nash with the infamous "finger push", Vince Russo coming in, David Arquette winning the
World Heavyweight Championship and so much more. This DVD really brings you in and lets you see
first hand all of the horrible politics that made WCW one of the infamously worst places to work. The
DVD has 20 full matches from NWA all the way up to the later WCW years and bonus features.
All of these are told by Jim and David Crockett, Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson,
Barry Windham, Bill Watts, Hulk Hogan, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko,
Rey Mysterio, Eric Bischoff, Kevin Sullivan, Ron Simmons, Big Show, Mike Graham, Scott Hall & more.
