I gotta go with Davis.... I respect Cash but I never really clicked with his music for some reason and I'm not going pretend I did just because he has recently passed away.

Here's a review from some guy on Amazon.com, doesn't sound too great: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...?v=glance&s=dvd "The Best of Wrestling slams is nice mix of 10 old school wrestling matches from the early 90's featuring famous veterans as well as some of today's stars as younger rookies. Overall, the matches, while not great, notable or must-see, are decent for an evening's entertainment. The DVD also features some un-noteworthy special features. In all, it's a nice ride down memory lane if nothing else. Here are the contents of this DVD: THE MATCHES: 1. Lightning Kid vs. Dapper Dan: Kid of course went on to become the 1-2-3 Kid who went on to become Syxx who evolved in WWF's X-pac. Dan went on to nothing. Decent match. 5 minutes. 3 stars. 2. Crash vs. Doink: Crash (the Terminator) became WCW's Hugh Morrus. Doink is of course the famous WWF early-mid 90's gimmick. Squash match featuring a post-match run-in by Koko B. Ware of WWF 80s fame. 3 minutes. DUD. 3. "Cowboy" Bob Orton vs. Tom Lodly (sp???): From the NAWA. Orton, recognized a superior technical wrestler, made a name in the 80s WWF. Orton puts on a wrestling clinic against his jobber opponent. 5 minutes. 3 stars. 4. Baron Samidi (w/ Bob Orton) vs. Lynn Wagner: From the NAWA. Samidi became Papa Shango in the WWF who became Kama who became the Godfather. Basically another jobber squash. Tons of power moves. 8 minutes. 2 stars. 5. "War Eagle" Chris Chavis vs. Dr. X: From South Atlantic Wrestling. "War Eagle" (definitely ripped at this point) went on to become the WWF's Tatanka in the early-mid 90s. Decent match. 6 minutes. 2 stars. 6. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat vs. Johnny Z: From the NAWA. Steamboat, of course, is a legend in the business and a noted technical master noted for his classic matches against Ric Flair and Randy Savage. Jobber squash. Decent match. 5 minutes. 2 stars. 7. The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Saggs) vs. Rusty Stevens and Rick Starr: NAWA. The Nastys were among the top tag teams around the world in the late 80s and early 90s with stints in the AWA, WWF and WCW. Decent back and forth action between the two teams. 13 minutes. 3 stars. 8. The (New) Fantastics (Bobby and Jackie Fulton) vs. Tommy Landell and the Enforcer: From South Atlantic. The Fantastics (originally Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers) were a top tag team throughout the South and the NWA territories. After the team split, Jackie Fulton, Bobby's brother, took Tommy's place and both achieved minimal success. One of the best matches of the DVD with tons of great tag action from the Fantastics. 5 minutes. 4 stars. 9. The American Bulldogs (Spike and Rex) vs. Colt Steele and Tommy Landell: Decent match and action from the Bulldogs. 7 minutes. 3 stars. 10. "Simply Irresistible" Jeff Jarrett and "Maniac" Matt Borne vs. Cactus Jack Manson and Sheik Braddock (w/ General Skandor Akbar): From the legendary USWA promotion in Texas. Jarrett and Jack of course of wrestling legends and former Heavyweight champions "Chosen One/Double J" Jeff Jarrett and "Best-Selling Author/Hardcore Legend/Mankind/Dude Love" Mick Foley as young rookies. Borne had brushes with greatness as WCW's Big Josh and the original Doink the Clown. Akbar is a Texas managing legend. Overall, this is a great brawl/action-packed tag match with future great stars. 13 minutes. 3 ½ stars. THE DVD FEATURES: Nothing to see here as the special features two things: 1. A list of wrestler's finishing moves. 2. A FAQ regarding wrestling. THE VERDICT: Well, the DVD itself is INCREDIBLY cheaply produced with the match access looking really horrendous and the DVD features outright laughable. The DVD itself comes with no inserts mentioning the list of matches or anything of the like. The matches themselves are not keepers or noteworthy but are decent for a time killer. Overall, the real value for this again, if you do want to buy, is if you are into old school wrestling. The matches are decent, if nothing else, but again are not noteworthy or must-see. The value again is seeing some of the great old-timers like Orton or Steamboat or the Fantastics and Nastys in action or some of the stars of today as rookies (Foley, Jarrett, Godfather, Hugh Morrus and X-pac). Otherwise, this DVD definitely goes into the... Recommended Collector's Box (for nostalgists/wrestling historians) Recommendation to Rent (for the average wrestling fan) Pass Otherwise (for most people in general"

SICK MIKE MONDO. Actually he's from OVW. He has a bio up at http://www.ovwrestling.com/ sorta looks like a 5'6 brock lesner (doesn't everyone from OVW though?)

Unfortunately "the Old Roger Rabbit effect" costs TONS more to do right. Disney was pouring millions into finding out a way to get the roger rabbit effect in CGI because to do a sequel to WFRR was going to costs 100's of millions for just the animation alone. Combining live action and animation in any meaningful way (Roger Rabbit quality) is so labor intensive, where as to do it with CGI it's easier because the computer can match up the camera shots and get the right angles, lighting, etc, on the characters without an artist having to figure it all out by hand. Wow, didn't realize that.... I never knew it was that expensive.

Interesting show look forward to seeing this stuff on TV, Glad to see Bobby Quance really didn't join the Navy afterall! and I still find it hard to believe that a Chris Hero match would be the worst on the show.

Hmm, that poster seems to be missing someone....

Honestly, I never could watch the show because Hank reminds me too much of Beavis & Butthead character Tom Anderson.. only not as funny. "Large fries, pie, large coffee.. got me good buddy?" - genius.

This should be good because the RevPro workers always deliver. But it'll be very interesting to see how this shapes up... some great potental match ups here.

I don't think there will be much interaction between the CG Garfield and the real dog Odie. Really... how can there be without the animal rights people having heartattacks?

It was done by a female. But still the character was supposed to be a male with a cute voice... as mentioned above sorta like Tweety Bird in the Warner Brothers cartoons. Oh, any word if Nermal will be CG or not? or if it will be "PC" to have Garfield send Nermal's ass to Abudahbi in the movie?

Yeah true but if they did it right, they would have appealed to both kids and us 20 something geeks. That would mean more money which would be win-win for them. But instead they will get another weaks kids movie with limited staying power. Like the still laughed punchlines that were the Rocky & Bullwinkle, Scooby Doo, Popeye, He-Man, Super Mario Brothers ETC movies of yesteryear. Can't blame us for not wanting our childhood favorites pissed on.... yet again for the sake a quick buck. But... if it does lead to the old stuff on DVD, I guess it'd be worth it IMO even if Garfield sells his soul.

My god, when I first heard about the movie I knew it would suck... but that trailer made it look even worst than I could have imagined. forget Odie, THAT'S NOT GARFIELD! geeze the old Roger Rabbit effect would have worked just fine! The CG crap looks awful. Looking on the bright side, hopefully they will come out with alot of the old Garfield cartoons on DVD in sorta a cross-promotional deal. Garfield and Friends season sets would rule.

Ok, sounds interesting... but exactly how much Super Dragon is on this DVD?

It has got to be Jacqueline. Despite being on the roster for years she gets no heat or pop peroid. Watch any her of her intros.. you can hear a pin drop. No one else in the WWE right now is that heatless.

Hey now... That match would work out perfectly fine in PWG. Although I don't think a singles meeting will happen there... a tag meeting in the tourney though is highly possible however. Other Chris Hero matches I really want to see are Hero Vs. Samoa Joe and Hero Vs. Super Dragon. Both those could be truly amazing.

Tough one it would have to be "Eat It" or "The Rye or the Kaiser" Although my favorite Weird Al song in general isn't a parody at all, it's the 11 minute epic "Albuquerque" for some weird reason.

Hero can't come to ROH soon enough.. imagine all the great potental matchups. I'd love to see Danielson Vs. Hero too, hopefully they hook up sometime in PWG's tag tourney later this month...

That's good news, the more Lynn the better IMO.

I watched it, very very funny stuff. Sucks that Brak was canceled though. Anyway, for those who missed it I'm sure they will replay it on sunday like they did with last year's New Year's special.

Very true, Around here it's just another reason for people to get drunk and shoot guns. As if that didn't happen enough on every other day of the year....

I've hated Kidman since he left the Flock. He just annoys me. Also if he does get fired Paul London can use his SSP again!

Nah, to truly be the worst movie ever it needs to first have some intention of quality. Manos doesn't have that. My worst movie ever is still the 2001 Planet of The Apes remake... pure crap. Alot worst than Manos or Plan 9 because the filmakers actually thought it would be good.

Cool, I love these things. my favorite TZ ep would have to be "5 characters in search of an exit" great stuff. Stooges are on too? great.. I didn't know that.

They fought at a few ECW House shows in what were pretty good matches and in WCW at the last Clash of Champions in 97.
