Summary: 5 Stars
I'll admit that I was alittle wary of buying this DVD because I'd been burned in the past with other wrestling DVDs having just clips of matches. This one delivers the goods! I would buy it just for the Flair/Steamboat matches. You get on the 2nd disc two matches with "The Dragon" and both matches clock in at 60 minutes a piece! That's right WWF. These two fantastic future H.O.Fers wrestled for 60 MINUTES STRAIGHT! That's 120 minutes of pure energy, high-flying, aggressive, welt smacking grappling at it's greatest. The two matches with Flair and Steamboat are two of the finest examples of heavyweight wrestling EVER! BUY THIS DVD JUST FOR THIS!
Also, The wrestling clinics featuring "Steamboat" and Flair are fantastic.
The matches with Barry Windham are also classic wrestling clinics. Barry Windham was a great grappler and he gave Flair all he could handle.
The Terry Funk stuff just doesn't belong here. It's interesting to see Flair trying to do extreme ECW style, but it isn't him at all. I mean c'mon. Terry Funk got his rump kicked by Patrick Swazy in "Roadhouse"! How tough can this guy really be? The Royal Rumble stuff should have also been left out. There are MUCH better Flair/Hogan matches that could have been shown other than this one.
They should have put his classic battles with the OTHER "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel on these dics. Watching those battle it out over who was the REAL "Nature Boy" were great matches.
Seeing Flair's first WWWF match from '76 was also fun. Seeing that he had his classic "WOOOOOO" and strut even way back then was fun to watch. The interviews from Flair's past are also a blast to see. Hearing Flair using his famous catch phrases for the first time and watching the "Nature Boy" image and persona take shape was interesting and enjoyable.
Overall, this is a GREAT DVD and Highly recommended.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Movie Review: Why this DVD is worth the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this DVD from Best Buy. Originally, I was looking for DVDs like the real pay per view events such as WWE No Way Out 2004, WWE Wrestlemania 8X, or any of the WWE Royal Rumble(because I have never seen a full royal rumble before). But sadly, there was no pay per view DVDs in the Best Buy that I wanted except for WWE No Mercy 2004 and WWE Judgement Day 2004 which I didn't want to see. It was like watching a good smackdown. So I was looking and looking around for about an hour trying to find some decent wrestling DVDs and only ones that I could find was WWE RAW 10th Anniversary, Best Intercontinental Matches and The End of the ECW. Finally, right before giving up, something caught my eye. It was the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection. But I was still not sure whether to get it or not because I was afriad that there will be no full matches(like The Rock Know Your Role and TLC video). But I made up my mind and just got it since there was no other better WWE DVDs.
After I got home I started watching it right away and after I finished half of the DVD, I was like this is worth even $100. But the price being only about $30, that is more reason why anyone should buy this DVD. The DVD featured over 10.5 hours of pure wrestling entertainment including his best matches, best promos, and the confidentials. Not to mention the fact that some of the features are hilarious(like the old wrestling makes me laugh because it's my first time seeing it and they had some funny promos). Also, because of this DVD, the whole entire Sunday went by like Flash on steroids. I don't see any reason why I should write anymore because other reviewers already wrote what the features are and I have nothing else to say to you but "Get the F out of your couch or chair or bed or whatever and go get the the most worth DVD (over 10.5 hours! amazing!) ever.
P.S. Also get more wrestling DVDs. The reason why I get wrestling DVDs instead of movies is because once you watch most of the movies, it gets boring really fast. They are also only about 2 to 4 hours long including the extra features. But wrestling DVDs are usually 3 hours long not including the extra features itself. If you combine the features, it will probably be up to 4-7 hours of entertainment. Though the DVDs like HBK From the Vault, WWE Raw 10th anniversary, or Stone Cold biography videos, or any other documentary DVDs are a bit short and it doesn't worth as much as pay per views or the special collection DVDs like Ric Flair collection and Hulk Hogan collection, you should get it if you are a big fan but if you can't afford that much money, get the pay per view DVDs over the movie-like DVDs. Well, have fun watching the DVDs.
Movie Review: Mixed feelings
Summary: 4 Stars
When I see Ric Flair I wonder why the hell is this guy so famous? His moves, charisma, and performances are all the same in every match it seems. I purchased this dvd used because I love pro wrestling-past and present. This guy had some amazing matchs with Ricky Steamboat and its on here, and plus a Royal Rumble match in its entirty so that might be worth the price alone. Also I can try and figure out why everyone is calling this guy so great. Anther thing about the DVD is there is ten matchs and every match expect for one is over ten minutes, so you cant complain about that. Id recommend it to a true wrestling fan who doesnt think The Rock or Stone Cold is the greatest wrestler ever.Movie Review: Response to Malcoment 2,(another person)

To the guy who wrote the damn article insulting wrestling, let me just say this:
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU SKANKY LITTLE SON OF A
B****
Just because you hate wrestling doesn't give the right to go around bad mouthing the sport and all who are fans of it. Just because some of us make mistakes doesn't maen that we're all
stupid, Sheesh, I make grades just as good as those who don't watch it in my school. As for content, I'll admit that they're some aspects of it that I don't agree with, but the bottom line is that we kids love it because it allows us to cheer on great athletes who work hard to put on a great show, violent or not.
And if kids do dangerous or inappropriate things, it's not the fault of the sport, it's the fault of the parents who don't properly discipline their children. With that said and done,
I've got only one thing to say to you:
Don't insult wrestling, AND GO GET YOURSELF A F****** LIFE
