TERRIFIC Overview of the Premiere NWA/WCW Event!!!


This 3-Disc set brings us 25 of the greatest matches from the premiere event in the National Wrestling Alliance (later World Championship Wrestling). It starts off with a documentary on the history of the event, with some of the participants in the event, such as Nature Boy Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, The American Dream Dusty Rhodes, David Crockett, Jim Cornette, Road Warrior Animal and others. The matches feature Superstars such as Flair, Harley Race, Big Van Vader, Sting, Greg "The Hammer Valentine vs. "Rowdy' Roddy Piper in a brutal Dog Collar Match, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Magnum T.A., Rhodes, Stunning Steve Austin, The Great Muta, Bill Goldberg, Kevin Nash, The Total Package Lex Luger, The Road Warriors, The Midnight Express, The Rock 'N Roll Express, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Barry Windham, Shane Douglas, Brian Pillman and more. Championship matches, I Quit contests and scaffold wars are also featured in this set, and the top 25 are some of the best to be picked. I would give this 5 out of 5 stars. Get this one!!!
