Updated Flair DVD specs

Recommended Posts

Let's hope my bad luck of thred repetition is not continuing.. I swear I only saw the old DVD thread...

 

His name draws universal awe and admiration. He is the 16-time Heavyweight Champion of the world. He has held the World Championship more times than any competitor in the history of sports-entertainment. Fans around the world pay tribute by shouting his trademark “Woooooo!” He’s influenced more Superstars than anyone else. There are legends and all-time greats, but there is only one Ric Flair.

Must Fucking Own. The promos alone make this a must buy for me. I remember back when he and Buddy Landel were shit-talking each other over the "Nature Boy" name. Buddy was never anything more than a mid card heel but this gave him limelight.

Why are easter eggs hidden? Why not just include it in the main feature or chapter selection?

Because it's fun to try to find them.

 

Like on the HBK DVD set, finding both the Buddy Rose Blowaway Diet Promo and the "Lost My Smile" Promo

The Funeral Parlor one, does that end with Vince getting hit with a wooden chair? If so, that's awesome.

 

I don't mind Easter Eggs that are all "click here, highlight this", I actually enjoy those. It's the "enter chapter selection XXX and..." etc, as I hear the Simpsons Season 3 Easter Eggs are ridiculously complicated like that.

Bonus Feature: Kicked out of the Horsemen - the 4 Horsemen kick Sting out of the group

 

Is this from 1990 at Clash X or when they attack him in Havoc 95?

Oh my god this is awesome. It is missing only one thing of note, that being the Starrcade 93 match vs. Vader, but everything else is ab fab. A special night in Greenville....the best Nitro segment EVER.

The Funeral Parlor had Hogan on as a guest and then Flair interrupts ... and while Hogan is distracted, the Undertaker comes out of the standing coffin and nails Hogan with the urn. Then Savage and Piper run down with chairs.

 

Vince was knocked out during the Flair / Piper confrontation a few weeks earlier, as Flair was making his way to the ring for his first match (which is also on the DVD from what I see).

How fun is it to find them if they're given away before the DVD is even released

I wonder if the WWF stuff still has video distortion on the belt.

It would, since when they distorted the title Flair was holding either a tag team title belt or IC title belt. They showed the NWA/WCW title belt as much as they could until Flair gave it back for some cash.

Well, IIRC, the FUneral Parlor segment had the real belt, but was later distorted in recaps... I think.

They distorted it in recaps, IIRC, because the storyline was that the belt was going to be distorted from then on out (since they didn't have the big gold belt anymore). So, for continuity sake within the storyline (continuity, where has that word gone...), they distorted everything after Tunney made the announcement (including recaps of when he had the real big gold belt).

Guest Loss

The absolute best angle from Flair's WWF run was when he made Piper snap. Piper tried to hit him with a chair and accidentally KO'd Vince at the announce table.

Wow. Gotta say that when I get the money, that's something I'm ordering....

 

Then again, I'm poor, so I'll have to ask for it for Christmas or something.

 

Edit: There's also my birthday as well next month on the 23rd too... Hm...
