Guest Mad the Swine Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Two questions though - for the PWI Wrestler of the Decade segment, was that at Starrcade 89 and just cut out of the home video? And finally, can anyone name the guys that fill up the ring after Flair's win over Race (aside from the obvious Ricky Steamboat and Angelo Mosca?). I think Whipper Billy Watson is there but not sure about the rest. PWI trophies were presented at Clash of Champions IX, IIRC. Luger ended up wrecking them. Jay Youngblood is in the ring. Might be Ron Ritchie in there as well. And of course, Flair's wife makes a brief cameo as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 what's the clipping like on the matches? Are they mostly shown in their entirety or are they clipped all to hell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Human Fly 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Well, add me to the list of people who went to Best Buy only to be shut out. I asked for it and the guy was like "maybe we will have it next Tuesday".....thanks pal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Minor complaint as I previewed the DVD is that so far, I've only found one full entrance for Flair... The entrance was half the fanfare of his matches! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Finished the first match (Harley Race) plus all the buildup and post footage And this is only the beginning... One funny thing I remember was a shoot interview with Race where he talks about how Kiniski was just in the way and caused more problems in the match than he helped with (e.g. the match ending) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 One thing I've noticed with some of the promos from the WWF sections was that there seems to be a brief "flash" that would indicate a clipjob, yet there doesn't seem to be anything actually clipped out. I'm not the only one seeing this, am I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Haha, I can't believe WWE signed Harley Race and packaged him as "The King". Stoners. WHOOOO!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 On a more serious note: Flair and Hogan are obviously regarded as the NWA/WCW & WWF icons. Hogan has his Iron Shiek. In retrospect, is Race (his first heel win) Flair's Shiek to you? Awesome promos, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not the only one seeing this, am I? If I'm correct, they're clipping out anytime someone says WWF (Not World Wrestling Federation, but as in "I'm now WWF Champion"). I guess part of the lawsuit means never calling themselves WWF again. Oh and this is DMann2000, I got locked out of my old screename so I got to start from square 1.

DMann2003 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 What I'm happy about is the fact that they put Steamboat/Gilbert vs Windham/Flair on as a bonus. I'd only seen clips of it before. That brings the total uncut matches to 11. Plus promos, and Flair intros. Is the the classiest product a company has produced for one of it's wrestlers or what?

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Just got home from the mall...they did not have it at Best Buy, and when I asked they said they aren't sure when they'll start carrying it. So even though I hate it, I went to FYE...got it on sale for 26.99, which is good enough for me. The packing looks awesome, the video so far is great. OLD SCHOOL NWA PRESS CONFERNCE FOOTAGE! This shit is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know Best Buy has the absolute best prices (not counting rebates and stuff) for DVDs anywhere, including those fuckers at Suncoast and FYE. You'll never see me buying in those places EVER with the prices they have. However, I got mine from Amazon.com for $29.71. You shouldn't have to pay more than that.

Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted November 19, 2003 I must say that I am absolutely shocked that the WWE would put a DVD like this one out. I mean, most of it is REALLY NWA footage. I couldn't believe that when I was watching it. It was set up very well and comes off really good. If anyone deserves a awesome DVD like this, it's Ric Flair.

I haven't seen if the Best Buy's had it, though one did say they'd get in 25 copies. FYE had it in their add, and they said they were getting in 16 copies (16 World Titles), I took that as a good sign. So I walk in and it's right their on the New Release display shel, next to Santa Clause 2 and Tomb Raider and Two Towers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 There's similarities, but that's mainly because HHH has been copying Flair's look for the past year. The elegant suits, shades, and all that were all Flair a good decade and a half before he was perping off it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anakin Flair 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Ok, so I just watched the HHH/Flair match for the first time (great match) and I'm happy to say that they include the ENTIRE post-match celebration. On a down side, The included his promo on the lst Nitro, but not his match w/ Sting on said show. Oh, well. At least I have it downloaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
