The fact that they did it the hardway makes it that much better.....

Guys, I just picked it up and it is definitely worth it. I haven't even watched any of the matches. The ceremony alone is worth the purchase price. Hell, even Heenan's speech (speach?, I can never get these straight) is worth it. A great DVD, and a nice departure from the kind of DVDs they usually put out.

I couldn't agree more, I would say it's something you should at least watch(if your not going to buy it) if you have been a fan since the 80's like me.

Well technically, the first one I can think of was when Randy Savage piledrove Ricky Morton through a ringside table in Memphis in 84. But Hogan/Race was first nationally televised.

They got it wrong, Race/JYD IS from WM III

 

But Tito/Valentine is the Cage match, which is cool.

 

And please lets have a DVD of just Bobby & Gorilla

They really should've used Race/Hogan for this instead of JYD/Race but I guess they were going for HOF vs. HOF matches.  So can't really do much as JYD's work sucked after he left Mid-South.

If anyone out there really thinks Race is overrated........watch said match.....

He's Hardcore! He's Hardcore! He's Hardcore!

I just watched the Alley Fight

 

Ho-lee Sheet! Slaughter was a mess, he bled all over himself, the ring, Patterson, the camera, I've heard about bladejobs before, some that didn't live up to the hype, but THIS one did.

I picked it up this morning. For $17 at Best Buy, I whole-heartedly recommend this DVD to EVERYONE. I don't care when you started watching, you need to see this. Hell, stuff it in your pants and sneak out the door if you have to but watch the DVD!

Get this DVD, I got it today for 23 something over at FYE, its a great DVD I just got to Tito Santana and I haven't watched any of the extras yet other than Bobby Heenan's this DVD is very good. The speechs are very good, I think all of Bobby Heenan's speech is in there, I know Billy Graham got edited, you can easily tell. But this DVD was well worth the 23 something I paid for it, Bobby Heenan's speech was diffently the whole worth of the what I paid for.

You'll be laughing your ass off doing The Brain's speech. The camera crew gets a joke in there also during someone else's speech, you'll have to catch it.

I definitely recommend this DVD set. As far as I'm concerned, the bonus matches are just the icing on the cake. The ceremony itself is pretty good. Heenan's "wild life" rant alone makes the DVD worth buying.

I haven't bought the DVD yet, but to those who have:

 

Who got all misty-eyed during The Brains speech?

 

Don't lie.

I didn't just because there wasn't much to get misty-eyed about, except for when he mentioned Monsoon at the end of the speech. I just felt a bit depressed after that, since it would've really been great if Monsoon were still here.

 

Thank god for the Heenan portion, though, as I've found the majority of the speeches to be almost unbearable at times. This is referring to the speeches on Disc 1, though, as I've only watched a bit of the second. I wish they had included more Heenan stuff from PTW, since what we've got is under five minutes in total. Still great stuff. "Don't stop driving. There's tigers over there!"

Honestly for those who are still unsure if they want to but the dvd or not, just buy it...buy it....BUY IT! (Peer Presure is a bitch huh?)

I've just finished it myself and I really enjoyed it. Seeing the older stars getting recognized really was great and was worth the money spent, and thats just the ceremoney itself. They did a great job of making it feel important and special, with Heenan stealing the show. I agree it's a must have DVD.

So after reading this thread I rushed out yesterday and bought it. Being a fan since the 80's and having watched these wrestlers in their prime (for the most part), I'm loving it. Seeing some of these guys get the respect they deserve is truly touching to see.

 

Pete Rose/Kane/Rikishi comments had me rolling as well as the Nascar thing. I'm only half way through the first disc and I already feel my money was well spent.
