[DetroitSportsFan]

Another wrestling classic for the collection.

[Dragon Lee]

I hate the 80's-early 90's WCW stufff (I hate WCW in general) but I love their cruiserweights and luchadors. worth paying full price for those guys alone.

[Devilutionary]

this should be sweet. I missed seeing "surfer boy" Sting.

[sycro]

Woo.... the first wrestling match I ever saw is on there...

Championship Unification Match
Sting vs. ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair
Clash of the Champions XXVII - 23rd June, 1994

[fiveseven4combat]

never was big on WCW so unless they re-release Rise and Fall of WCW or Monday Night Wars I'll pass on just about everything WCW.

You should get this. Some great and classic matches on this set. When WWF was doing gimmicks, WCW was doing some serious wrestling.

[sg2386]

WCW/NWA was just amazing in the late 80s - early 90s in terms of wrestling.

Just awesome matches like Steamboat/Flair, Flair/Funk, Wargames, classic tag team matches, etc.

Most of their best ppvs IMO were during that time...whereas when they were going to head-to-head with WWE in the mid-90s, they had many forgettable ppvs with maybe 1 or 2 matches that were the highlights, with majority of them being the cruiserweights.

I hope WWE releases Best of Wargames...that was an awesome original concept by WCW. I remember HHH pitched the idea to Vince to have Wargames at Survivor Series 2002 but he refused and thus created the Elimination Chamber.

Sorry to bump this so far up but I just heard that the Best Buy Edition of this had some exclusive matches... does anyone know what they were?

[See u at da party!]

It was only the dvd version and not blu. But it was two matches on disc 3,
Midnight Express vs The Fantastics (3-27-88)
Hogan vs Flair (8-15-96)

How in the heck does the WWE pick and choose what dvds/blu rays will have Jesse Ventura commentary? Just when I think everything has been cleared up, out comes a disc like this one where his commentary is deleted.

If WWE feels it doesn't really hurt the overall presentation of the release, they either replace or mute his commentary. Of course as the fan, the original commentary is important from a historical standpoint. In the case of the "Best of Saturday Nights Main Event," the removal of Ventura's commentary would really be hurt without it, so they left it & paid him his royalties.

On the WWE Network, all of Ventura's commentary will be left intact, because the rights for streaming is different from home video.

Thank you, I think that clears it up.

Vince is still mad at the governor for the lawsuit. Because of Ventura, all wrestlers past and present get royalties now. And to get back at him (as well as save money), Vince tries to only have Ventura's commentary intact on full shows and penny pinch on other releases.

[CMoney]

It's funny how Vince can be very spiteful in certain situations, yet be completely forgiving in others.

That's why I'm convinced Vince is Dana White's daddy.

[Agent Bond]

Finally picked up and its one of the best purchases I made. Yeah, it sucks not hearing Gov. Ventura and that a lot of music was dubbed (Sting, Luger, Rude, Austin, etc.), but this is a solid release filled with good to great matches. Definitely worth a pick up!
