DVD Review: The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling

This DVD set truly captures the organization from the Lone Star State in terrific fashion, and really gives an insight into the behind the scenes struggles with the WCCW. Stars such as the Von Erichs (Kerry, Kevin, David, Mike and patriarch Fritz), Iceman King Parsons, The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and Buddy Jack Roberts), "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin and Sunshine (later Precious), "Gentleman" Chris Adams, Gino Hernandez, Gary Hart, King Kong Bundy (with hair!), The Great Kabuki, Kamala, Bruiser Brody, Abdullah the Butcher and even Ric Flair are all profiled. Stars interviewed for this special to discuss their memories are Dusty Rhodes, Dory Funk Jr., Triple HHH, Mick Foley, Kevin Von Erich, Bill Mercer, Shawn Michaels, Gary Hart, Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin and Buddy Roberts. Disc 1 has all these individuals being interviewed on their impressions of WCCW, and Disc 2 has some tremendous matches with the individuals I mentioned. This is a terrific look at the history of the WCCW, and I highly recommend it. 5 stars.
