3.0 out of 5 stars
what it does document is good, but too much missed out, 24 Dec 2004
The dvd does a good job of recalling how the NWO emerged in WCW, and gives a relatively detailed account of events up until the Giant (aka Big Show) joined, then it misses out everything in-between then and when Vince brought them to the WWF. The NWO had a very long list of members in WCW, and thus countless story lines involving all of them, so they were never going to cover every single part of the NWO's history, but some of the important stuff they left out is unforgivable, such as the recruitment of Syxx/X-pac, Eric Bishcoffs betrayal of WCW, the NWO fractioning into the Wolf Pac, and the big feud that ultimately ended Goldberg's winning streak. Leaving such a massive gap in-between is frustrating and disappointing. When the dvd gets to the NWO's switch to the WWF, it again gives a pretty complete history of what happened to the point where Hogan left and Syxx/X-Pac rejoined (just after Wrestlermania), at this point it ends and we are left without a conclusion, which again is annoying. What the dvd does document is very good and does capture the confusion, excitement and revolution that the NWO brought into wrestling at the time, but the problem is what was left out. It would also of helped if they actually waited for the whole NWO story to finish before making a dvd about it so we could actually have an ending! There are clips of interviews with Hogan and Hall talking about the phenomenon of the NWO, which are interesting, but sadly we don't see enough of these. I don't want to sound too negative, it is a really enjoyable dvd, and brought back some memories, but you cant help but feel that it misses out too much, making this a wasted opportunity by the WWF.
