Best of the Von Erichs

Recommended Posts

I never saw any WCCW, so I'm just wondering if this matchlist is worth a purchase?

 

*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

 

Those are the matches stated on pwinsider.com, but there are no dates.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Jason

The Von Erichs/Freebirds feud was one of the major highlights of the 80's. You can't go wrong with any of that stuff (save for Fritz's heart attack angle, which was just WCCW desperate for business and pulling a sympathy stunt).

 

Also, Adams and Hernandez were AWESOME heels in WCCW, although unfortunately here they don't have anything of them together as the Dynamic Duo. Still, this DVD is definitely worth a pickup, IMO.

I've seen this video on highspots and I was wondering myself if it would be worth it to pick up or not. I don't know if I am going to get it or not, but if I hear a little more about it.......I might have to pick it up.

Yes, I encourage anyone thinking about picking up this DVD to do so . . . . World Class was a great promotion "back in the day" and some of the feuds are fantastic - Von Erichs vs. Freebirds, Von Erichs vs. Hernandez and/or Adams, it's all great stuff. If you're a fan of old-school, NWA-type action, this is definitely a must see. If we all support this initial release by purchasing it, we should definitely see more World Class DVD's released in the near future, which is a good thing :D

The actual wrestling will probably leave some to be desired (I remember WCCW being very punch/kick heavy) but the angles were always awesome and the crowd was always wicked into it. I was such a WCCW mark back in the day, it's embarressing to admit now. Hell, I even liked the One Man Gang back then.

 

Plus, like res said (and I wicked agree with) if people support releases like this, we'll be more likely to see other, better releases in the future (Midnites-Fantastics, Rick Rude matches, Bruiser Brody matches, and - best case scenario - entire Cotton Bowl shows).
