An Epic
To say ths is the greatest DVD set in WWE history is an understatement. This si a must have for any wrestling fan. There are 10 full matches on the DVD, and I'll rate them out of five stars.

vs. Harley Race Starcade '83. ***1/2. This match is an excellent cage match that sees Flair regain the title. It drags on at times, and casual wrstling fans may grow restless. The DVD provides the promos leading up to the match, where Race puts a $25,000 bounty on Flair.

vs. Dusty Rhodes Starcade '85 ****. Probably the best match that these two have had. Once again, they do a great job of providing the story leading up to the match, when the Horsemen break Dusty's ankle.

vs. Barry Windham Worldwide Wrestling 1/20/87 ****1/2. This is an execllent 45 minute match feauting Flair facing Windhan in his prime. There are many twists and turns that get you in to the match. The commercial breaks (it was on TBS) and the confusing finish are the only thing that keep this from being a five star match.

vs. Ricky Steamboat Clash of the Champions VI *****. This was a two out of three falls match that is a technical masterpiece. Once again, it features the event leading up to the match, such as when Steamboat returns to the NWA in a tag match. This match leads up to the next match...

vs. Ricky Steamboat Wrestlewar '89 ****1/2. Again a great match. They call this match "The Greatest Match". While I prefer the previous match, this match is no dud. Flair wins back the title, and a post-match incident with Terry Funk leads up to...

vs. Terry Funk Clash of the Champions IX ****. After five technical matches, it is nice to see an all out brawl. This is an I Quit match and they inflict pain on each other.

Royal Rumble 1992 ****1/2. Flair puts on the performance of a lifetime in his only Rumble. The WWF title is up for grabs here and Flair overcomes the odds when he enters third in the Runble. Bobby Hennan's commentary is absolutely priceless and it is funny to see Monsoon agrivate "the Brain".

vs. Sting Clash of the Champions XXVII ***1/2. Personally I think that the macth between these two at Clash of the Champions I was better, but this is a great match. It is a little short for my liking, however, and this match is used to set up Flair match with Hogan. But it is a good match none the less.

vs. HHH Raw 5/19/03 ****. I rated this match four stars, not because of the match itself (although it was good), but because it had a lot of emotion in it. The post-show tribute is also on here, which is a must see.

vs. Pete Sanchez **. This is a lackluster match, where Flair beats a jobber. Pete has a limeted moveset, and Flair wins with a suplex of all things.

There are also features on the Horsemen and on his 1975 plane crash, which nearly ended his carrer. I would recommend this DVD to just about anybody, so you should buy tbis today!

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Finally, the WWE has gotten it right. Ric Flair's DVD is by far and away the single greatest DVD ever produced in the wrestling industry. If you're a Flair fan, it's a must have even if you've seen the matches over and over again.

The buildup for his classic matches with Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, Terry Funk, Sting, Barry Windham, and the '92 Royal Rumble are all included.

Besides the great matches, they do a sitdown interview with Flair and they discuss his career throughout each disc including his departure from WCW in 1991.

I've been a Flair fan for 15 years and there's a lot of stuff on here that I've never seen before such as many of the lead-in items with the Race match.

Also, there are somewhere between 5-7 easter eggs featuring some of Flair's best promos. Plus, check out the two features on disc 2 involving the Four Horsemen. Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson talk about the history and the lifestyle of the Four Horsemen.

Overall, it's a great DVD that trumps anything the WWE has done before. It makes Hogan's 2-disc DVD set look like child's play.
