- Oh, come on, you had to know I’d get my hot little hands on this set sooner rather than later.  I’m having a hard enough time going through Meltzer withdrawl after the death of Eyada as it is, subscription to the WOL aside.  Ten hours of Cornette & Meltzer doing commentary over classic Memphis and Texas footage?  I’m THERE.

- You shouldn’t even need to ask, but I am reviewing the DVD version here and the video quality is mind-blowing compared to the crappy 6th or 7th generation versions of a lot of this stuff that I already had in my various comps.  For me it was worth it to upgrade the quality of a lot of my Memphis collection alone.  The cases DO look cheap and the production values are pretty much on par with what you’d expect from a company that’s running 20-year old footage from Memphis, but speaking as someone who used to spend hours trolling over obscure satellite channels looking for wrestling from Podunk towns during the bad period from 94-96, I’m used to pretty much ANYTHING in terms of bad-looking graphics and geeky ring announcers.  Those who had dishes during that period probably remember the America One “network” and their nightly offering of months-old USWA, ECW, SMW and assorted two-bit promotions from the northeast like IWCCW.  But I watched it all and LIKED IT, because I’m a wrestling fan, and that’s what we live for. 

- For those not familiar with this series, the DVD offers you a choice of the original commentary, or Jim Cornette and Dave Meltzer doing “insider” commentary, and the choice is a no-brainer 90% of the time, as Dave & Jim offer an incredibly insightful and often hilarious alternate look at what was going on at the time and what became of the people.  The sound mixing is VERY well done, as the sounds of the matches aren’t lost at all or buried under the commentary track.  The same can’t be said for the WWF DVDs, for example, where the commentary tracks on the WM15 and WM2000 DVDs completely overwhelm the in-ring sounds and sound very amateurishly done for a company who normally excel at production values.  Kudos to the Wrestling Gold people for putting out a well-made product and fully utilizing the DVD format.  My only major complaints is that some of the matches listed on the DVD sleeve are actually incorrect, and whoever handled the graphics didn’t exactly have a good grasp of wrestling and ended up with some big spelling goofs in the names.  More...
