getting that for sure,
|
the best of nitro includes the fingerpoke of doom??? why didnt they just call this rise and fall of wcw continued. same ol shit. aside from ddp and jerichos 1004 holds this is too much hogan
|
Well Hogan was pretty much the focus of the company from 1996 till 2001
|
Lot of Luger matches. Eww.
Props for including the DDP/Mark Starr match though. The night DDP became a superstar. |

Looks awesome, and I'll get it eventually, but I can't help but feel it'll pretty much be the majority of the same clips we've already seen in other releases (ie. Rise and Fall, Monday Night War, Superstar DVDs etc).
|
a must buy for me.
|
Looks very solid to me. Of course Benoit and Malenko teaming up won't be on there, but I like the listing. The only thing I wish they had put on that they didn't was the Nitro when Sting joined the Wolfpack, but of course that's only a personal preference of mine. That or the one where nWo Black and White offered Sting a t-shirt and then it faded to black.
|
is that goldberg/hart match the match where he gave bret the concussion?
|

Love how they have 3 TNA guys on there because they can. |
I count 4 actually
Hogan, Bischoff, Sting and Flair |
Forgot about Bisch. U right.

That cover is pretty cool. Lol at DDP as well.
Do you think if this sells well they'd do a 'Best of Thunder' as well? |
:lol: at the 3rd disc being considered a "best" since that is the downfall disc but a good selection of matches.

The Rise and Fall of WCW book has a lot of jokes and instances of how badly managed Thunder was and how it made Nitro look much better in comparison. |
I might actually get this.
I was always a devout WWF guy back in the day and I stayed away from WCW, so I did miss a lot of great stuff from WCW. I do regret not watching WCW when it was alive, then again I was about eight years old at the time, so what did I know? |
I'll definitely get this. Obviously there are better matches to put on the DVD... and even ones that are more special, but it looks great. I'm surprised they didn't find a way to get HHH on the cover. Maybe part of his contract won't allow to appear on 2 DVD covers and they chose this one.
|
Whens this coming out?
It looks great. |
So this is just straight matches?
Because I'd love to hear more interviews from some of the recently re-signed WCW guys (Booker, Nash) |
That's a pretty good list of matches/segments.
|
Here I'm gonna be a nit picking IWC douchebag : The picture of the NWO is not from WCW. It's from their 2002 WWE run. I honest to God read people bitching about that on the site where I get the match listing from.
|
Definately getting this. I always loved Nitro.
|
No Benoit? Lame, I mean he was slightly above average and they just act like he never existed because he may have overreacted just a little that one night?

And a little kid...
|
Glad they included the Booker T/Lance Storm WCW Title match. One of my favorites of Booker T's token-WCW Champion reign.
|
can't wait, nitro back in the day when it was kicking vince's butt was one of the best shows ever
|
Where the hell is El Dandy? And who are you to doubt El Dandy?
|
Bret Hart doubted him right from the DVD
|
Gonna pick this up tomorrow
|
great dvd set i'm up to disk 2
i marked out when DDP gave himself a self high five also you forget how awesome wrestling was back during the great monday night war, it makes anything today look like shitspread on toast, and that's not the nostalgia talking |
Where the hell is El Dandy? Fuck this who the hell is the WWE to doubt El Dandy?
|
It's a decent set. Watching it though, it felt like the story of the nWo for quite a while.
They could of had some more DDP, Booker, Jericho, Malenko, Benoit (oh I forgot he never existed), some more of the cruiser weights, some Raven, etc. It begs to have a Volume 2. And how do they have the Four Horsemen parody but not the actual segment it was based on? |
When is it on netflix streaming?

Got it and I was very pleased with it. It felt very Nitro. You had your few other guys getting there matches tossed in and then back to nWo vs WCW (top stars). Still it flowed well.
The only down side to this video, is it's not really for anyone who never watched WCW. Like I had to tell my Hubby the whole story over what was so important about the Juventud Guerrera vs. Billy Kidman match. And hopefully we'll get that Volume 2. one last thing.... 3 COUNT!!!!!! *Screams, cries & Sings* |
We like the Backstreet Boyz, N Sync too, Britney Spears is kinda cute
We watch TRL on MTV Everybody 3 Count 1 2 3 One...Two... Threeeeeeeee! |
I kinda wish the DDP/Raven feud was on the set.Seemed like that was one of the longest feuds in wcw besides the nwo vs wcw.
