If you're anything like me then you
didn't buy this for the documentary but for the truckload of special
features and by truckload I mean a whopping eight hours of them.
Ranging from classic matches to not so classic matches and some
really great promos (the outsiders debut to WCW is a good example of
how brilliant wrestling promos could be). A minor problem I do have
is that I would of loved to have seen these segments play in
chronological order. Well I say minor as it does do that for the
most part but occasionally it would play a clip from let's say “2002”
then it'll go back to the year “1997”. So why not just put that
“2002” clip in the “2002” section? Another thing I did like
was that the old WWF logo was uncensored giving an extra dose of
nostalgia up our nostalgia rectums.

Hall: ... And now for our next trick, we will make Kevin Nash's headset stop working. Hogan: Ta-da! Nash: ... |
If you felt that the main feature
didn't go deep enough into talking about the N.W.O. (cause it was
pretty shallow) then you should enjoy the features that are exclusive
to the blu ray version which is an episode of Legends of Wrestling
(hosted by “Mean” Gene Oakerland, Jim Ross, Michael Hayes and
Kevin Nash) where they get into more depth of the backstage antics of
creating this (in)famous storyline and I must say that it was much
more enjoyable than the main feature was. That's not all, the blu
ray version also has 30 minutes of the public service announcement
promos which are absolutely classic and were fun to watch. Overall
the documentary was a bit shallow but the special features is what
makes this release a good watch. I recommend it to all our wrasslin'
fans out there.

Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this review, excellent stuff Kaiser! I had heard that the documentary was kind of weak, but then again we all know the story by this point. The matches and promos make it sounds pretty worth it, plus its hard for me not to mark out over the white and black, brother!
Since there has been nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpack, and nWo 2000. Perhaps we can start the "nWo Mondo Cool" with me as Hollywood Hogan,you as Kevin Nash, and perhaps get the Gameing Beast as Scott Hall?
That's one more for da good guys!
The problem with that is Retroware TV did the NWO logo for their shirt and it kinda damaged me wanting to do anything using NWO. lol
Yeah I used to have the exact same Outsiders shirt that Queer Chaser Timmy wears in the intro. It makes me hate everything.
