Summary: A Great Piece Of Wrestling History!!!!!
Review: 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 was very impactful on their career. Then theres the heartful speeches made by the 11. This ceremony was a grat peice of nostgia of how great wrestling was.Like the other reviewers I agree that Bobby the Brain Heenan stole the show with his comedic yettouching speech.
Ok on to the extras:
Superstar Billy Graham has a confidential peice 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 apperances. 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 gaint. The match takes pace in 1983 and appears to be a body slam contest. One may be dissapointed with the outcome. Sgt. Slaughter has a interview about apoligizing to his country. Then theres a match vs Pat Patterson, thats 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 theres a peice on him from confidential and a peice on his first day in the business. All great. There's also an easter egg on how he got his nickname "weasal" Greg Valentine and Tito Santana unfortunity 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. Gorillera 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 intertaining 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 todays 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.

Summary: A true fan's Nirvana
Review: WWE has been doing a really good job with its DVD series, and this one stands out as exceptionally good. If you were a fan of professional wrestling before its days of self-acknowledged "sports entertainment"; if you remember when your friends all thought you were nuts, and when to root for the Magnificent Muraco at a live show was to risk your life; if you thought that "Hulkamania" was a huge step down for the sport and that Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was the prototypical role model; then there is no way you won't love this DVD. Perhaps most people will probably by it for the extras - historic matches such as the Sgt. Slaughter vs. Pat Patterson street fight, Big John Studd vs. Andre, Tito Santana vs. Greg Valentine for the IC belt (now THERE was a rivalry), and many others. Additionally, some of the non-match footage - interviews, promos, and the like - will get you a little misty-eyed. You'll see guys you never liked at the time (the late Junkyard Dog is an example in my case), but you'll realize how much they meant to the sport. But really, the induction ceremony is worthy of a DVD unto itself. The tributes are as good as are the acceptance speeches. Use the CHAPTERS option to skip the Pete Rose induction (now there's a situation that's embarrassing to both wrestling and baseball). You could pretty much watch the rest at a sitting. This would probably be an interesting view of wrestling history for younger fans. Old-timers shouldn't miss it. Great stuff.
