Written over four years ago and generally forgotten about until recently.
WWE Hall Of Fame is perhaps one of the greatest wrestling DVDs out there today. First there's the ceremony to induct the new 11 hall of famers. Each is inducted by someone who had an impact on their career. Then there's the heartfelt speeches made by the 11. This ceremony was a great piece of nostalgia of how great wrestling was.Like the other reviewers I agree that Bobby the Brain Heenan stole the show with his comedic yet touching speech.
Ok on to the extras:
Superstar Billy Graham has a confidential piece on his career and a classic promo as the champ gives his most famous lines. His match is against Bruno Sammartino from 1977. This is the night the Superstar becomes the Champ. Good Match, intense for back then.
Pete Rose has his three Wrestlemania appearances. And a Easter egg featuring the No Mercy 2002 commercial.
Big john Studd has an interview with Buddy Rogers in the Rogers Corner, stating how he's better than Andre The Giant. Then there's a match against the giant. The match takes pace in 1983 and appears to be a body slam contest. One may be disappointed with the outcome.
Sgt. Slaughter has a interview about apologizing to his country. Then there's a match vs Pat Patterson, that's an alley fight. This match comes with alt. Commentary from Slaughter, Patterson, and Michael Cole.Watch for Slaughter to take the "Slaughter Bump" and bleed badly! This was my fav. match on the DVD.
Bobby Heenan four classic moments on Prime Time Wrestling. Then there's a piece on him from confidential and a piece on his first day in the business. All great. There's also an Easter egg on how he got his nickname "Weasel"
Greg Valentine and Tito Santana unfortunately doesn't contain any promos or interviews. However, it does contain there IC title match from '85. This is the very first IC title match inside a steel cage. Although not as long as cage matches of today this was my 2nd fav. match of he DVD.These were two of my favorites growing up so it was great to see a match together The only bad thing is the commentating. Gorilla Monsoon was too calm and seemed to be a moment ahead of the action. There's the final easter egg here describing how Greg Valentine got the nickname the "Hammer".
JYD and King Harley Race contains there match from Wrestlemania 3, not Sat.nights Main Event as listed.This was the match I liked the least, its 6min. and I already own WrestleMania 3. JYD has a Promo from later in the year. And Race as a promo back in the Mid-Atlantic World Wide Wrestling show.
Don Muraco has an entertaining interview back as IC champion. His match was against Pedro Morales. This was the match that he won the IC title in.The match was good, but to today's standards a little slow.
Jesse Ventura has an interview about his upcoming match vs Bob Backlund. Then you get to see this World championship match. Hall Of Famer Ivan Putski is the guest ref.
All in all this is a great DVD. You get 2 IC title matches , one is in a cage. 2 World title matches. A match from Wrestlemania, a body slam match, and one of the greatest matches ever! A must have for any fan of the past.
