Review:
Overall Quality Of Wrestling
Good wrestling action on these DVDs when you consider most of the guys on the show are 10 years past their prime.
Devon Storm (later known as Krowbar in WCW) and Ace Darling have a fast-paced curtain-jerker, and then is the parade of old-timers.
Still fun to watch, but I think I'll deduct a half-point due to the fact that 4 out of the 5 matches feature aging superstars.
Score = 1.5
**On a side note, the "musical interlude" is entertaining - with Nikolai Volkoff (very badly) lip-syching 'Cara Mia,'
then singing 'Hava Nagilah' for the Jewish crowd. Then the true gem of this set - a live performance of 'Pencil-Neck
Geek' by "Classy" Freddie Blassie.**
Commentary
Commentary by ring announcer and backstage interviewer Michael Omansky and former superstar Ken Patera. Not bad
commentary, but Omansky needs to do some homework (a rear-facelock and headlock are not the same thing).
Score = 1.5
Camerawork
Well filmed multi-camera shoot.
Score = 2
On-Screen Graphics
Wrestler's names appear in flaming graphics on the screen during their ring enterances and backstage.
Score = 2
Menus
Each disc gives you play all and match-by-match options.
Score = 2
Packaging
The packaging for this set is very nice. Good cover art, front and back with a match listing on the back.
However, the package photos can be misleading, since many of the superstar photos were taken probably 10-15 years before this
show took place.
Score = 1.5
TOTAL SCORE = 10.5 / 12
