Thoughts The material covered on the DVD was incredible. If you are a wrestling fan, this DVD is for you. I would recommend it highly.

It had some footage I had never seen before and also had not known before as well. And it brought back some great memories. It also helped me get to know the WWF Superstars a bit better and that is always a good thing.
