Great Collection of Matches, Cool Nostalgia..., Oct 25 2005
By Robert S. Riemensnyder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Road Warriors-life & Death Of (DVD) (DVD)
This DVD set is a combination of a tribute and a documentary of sorts. It features some of the more memorable matches in the Legion of Doom's career as a tag team and it also puts a spotlight on the tumultuous life of the late, great Hawk.
I was afraid the latter would be a tacky show on exploitation on Vince McMahon's part, as he's had an up and down relationship with both Road Warriors. However, the look back at Hawk's rocky life is done in a classy way with insight on his life, commentary by Animal and none of the "shock value" stuff that the WWE used in their more recent Ultimate Warrior DVD.
It's the matches that make the DVD set, though. There are so many great selections from the LOD's time in Georgia Championship Wrestling, the AWA, the NWA/WCW and, of course, the WWE. Some of these matches even include commentary by Animal himself. A really cool feature, in my opinion.
If you're a lifelong wrestling fan, such as myself, you're bound to enjoy this selection. One of the better "legend" compilation DVD sets out there right now. Even better than The History of The Undertaker, as far as I'm concerned.
