Scheduled for the DVD are the following matches: *Kerry & Kevin & David Von Erich & Iceman King Parsons vs. The Fabulous Freebirds *WCCW Six-Man Tag Team Championship with David & Kerry & Kevin Von Erich vs. The Fabulous Freebirds *Kevin Von Erich vs. Chris Adams from the Cotton Bowl *Kerry Von Erich vs. Michael Hayes *Kerry Von Erich vs. Gino Hernandez *Kevin Von Erich vs. Chris Adams from the Reunion Arena *Kerry Von Erich vs. Terry Gordy The DVD is scheduled to feature alternative commentary from World Class referee David Manning and Kevin Von Erich. The DVD will also feature a tour of the Von Erich ranch. Based out of Dallas, Texas, World Class Championship Wrestling was one of the top wrestling territories in the early-late 1980s, bouyed by the popularity of the Von Erich family. Kevin Von Erich, the final surviving member of the family, agreed to a deal with VCI Entertainment last month to distribute the footage. The Best of the Von Erichs DVD is scheduled for release this August and can be pre-ordered in the PWInsider.com Online Store. Do any of you have reviews of these matches?

Australian Pride 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2004 I would have thought the big Kerry/Flair match would be on a DVD like this - is it not there because they dont own the rights? McMahon probably has it locked away in his archives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2004 I adored World Class Wrestling as a kid, and am definitely grabbing this when we get it at work. As for reviews, DH, I honestly don't know of any place with comprehensive WCCW reviews. If you happen to find one, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted July 24, 2004 Not to sound mean, but I'm glad it's mainly Kevin & Kerry matches, since they are the only two I actually liked. Still tragic how that family turned out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 There's a ton that should have been on that DVD that isn't ... Gordy slamming the cage onto Kerry's face, triggering that war. the hair-vs-hair match vs. Adams/Hernandez. Iceman's heel turn, and the aftermath the 6-man strap match vs. the Freebirds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 None of the Von Erich's interested me. Kerry had two good matches in 1984. One of them was against Flair where he won the NWA Title, and the other was against Jumbo Tsuruta on 5/22 (and it doesn't touch Race/Flair on the same night).
