Review Of Superstar Graham DVD

**mrslackalack** · 01-21-2006, 09:38 PM

The story was good (90 minutes long) Comments were mostly good,

Interesting Parts

Vince said if he hadnt got acciquted from the steroid scandal that he would have NEVER forgave Graham (Graham said he lied to try to get millions off Vince).

JR said that JCP/Turner when they had Superstar they should have made him a main event guy and their Hulk Hogan.

Superstar thought for several years for an ungory way to commit sucide so it wouldnt devesate his wife when she found him.

So depressed over losing the title to Backlund he was in exile for two years, He even declined to feud with Backlund over the next year.

Said the ''karate'' verison of him was how he felt at the time as depressed.

Quit commentating in the 80's due to his ankle swelling to the size of the grapefruit (all the colleagues thought Superstar was great as an annoucer except for Bruce Pritchard who just said Superstar was 'ok''

In his first match back in his 2nd WWF return in 86 is when he had his hip injury.

Dusty Rhodes said Superstars promos were so great that his own couldnt even compare to his.

Almost was turned face during his title run but Vince Sr. wanted a clean cut good guy like Backlund to win it instead of Graham keeping it as a face.

Good Doc: dealt with Superstars personal life as much as his wrestling life. They only talked about his NWA stint VERY little and more footage could have been used in the doc.

Extras:

2 Early career AWA matches. He had a pre match interview to each one and in the 2nd one an arm-wrestling match. However the matches were squashes

Both Matches 3/10

3. vs Bruno- Footage is not great but it was a pretty good 13 min match between the two and a total shock Graham won the title. This match was voted as the MOTY in 77

Rating 7.5/10

4. vs Ivan Putski- Slow match, but the crowd was into it made it more exciting Superstar wins by countout in a 14 minute match

Rating 6/10

5. vs Dusty Texas Death Match- The best match in my opinion on the DVD. Only 10 minutes long but it was perfect time for these two to have a great match. The ending however was a little cheap

Rating 8/10

6. vs Bob Backlund 1982- good 10 and a half minute match. I would have perferred seeing the title loss though

rating 7/10

Promos were great 9/10

Other extras was Superstar talking about an overdose, wrestling in an Indian Resveration, Jimmy Hart telling a story about Superstar debuting in the Memphis territory, and Bruce Pritchard doing a good superstar imitation. I found two easter eggs, but cant recall what it was under.

Rating Overall 7/10
