3.0 out of 5 stars An important slice of Wrestling history, 18 Jan 2009
By IWFIcon - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Maybe that old saying that American's don't do irony isn't true after all. Because surely, Vince McMahon must be nodding to higher powers to call this DVD "The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA", when he did as much as anyone could have done to "spectacularly" put the company out of business.

Still whilst the AWA might not be a familar name to the majority of modern fans, it holds a valid and special place in the history of wrestling. Just looking at the performers on the front cover (Hogan, Flair, Curt Hennig, Bobby Heenan, Shawn Michaels) you immediately realise just how many of the biggest names in the business at least made a fleeting stop in the AWA territory. The need to focus on "names" (to help sell the DVD, no doubt) does mean that some of them are given more time than some of the unsung (and unknown) hero's of the AWA.

The near two hour docummentary never drags and does as best as it can to condense so many years of wrestling history into less than 120 minutes. Verne Gagne (the owner/booker/promoter of AWA) is very forthcoming with some of his statements (and his lack of love for Vince McMahon is clearly evident) and other names such as Hulk Hogan give a refreshingly honest insight into the inner-workings of the AWA.

The extras include a number of what could be termed "outtakes" from the main documentary and most of them are actually entertaining. In terms of matches there is, to be fair, quite a lot of non-essential matches which surely don't do justice to the promotion. That said there are a trio of great matches (Midnight Rockers Vs Rose & Somers, Curt Hennig Vs Nick Bockwinkle and Jerry Lawler Vs Kerry Von Erich), even if the latter two of those feature disappointing screw-job finishes.

Anyone interested in the history of wrestling will find much to enjoy on this release. Yes there is the usual pro-WWE bias at times but even with some minor problems on that score, this is one of the more balanced documentaries about a non-Vince slice of wrestling that the WWE have put out so far.
