Rating: Summary: WOOOOO Review: May i say its about time they finally released a Ric Flair DVD. The man is only the greatest pro wrestler to ever walk that aisle, putting on ***** classics with just about everyone who ever stepped in the ring with him, now me being only 18 years old, i'm pretty psyched about seeing all the trials and tribulations of Ric Flair, from his start working for Verne Gagne, to defeating Dusty Rhodes to win the NWA World Title, to the formation of the greatest heel stable of all time, The Four Horsemen, to his classic series of matches with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, to him winning the 1992 Royal Rumble when he wrestled one hour to become WWF Champion, his triumphant return to WCW in 1993, all the way up until now, personally with the way Vince and Co. have trampled on his legacy ever since he came to the WWF in 2001, i don't think 3 DVD's does it justice for Flair, but i'm still pretty psyched none the less

Rating: Summary: about time Review: Promotional information for the The Ultimate Ric Flair 3 DVD Collection, set to be released on 11/18, reads, "Wrestling match footage from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today. This includes some of Ric's most famous matches with: Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Barry Windham, Ricky Steamboat, Terry Funk, and Sting. BONUS: 6 hidden Easter eggs ". You can pre-order the DVD set now on www.1WrestlingShop.com. It certainly looks as if there will be a ton of NWA and WCW footage on the DVD set. Well i got that info from a wrestling site. so this is going to be sweet. I remember most of the matches but 3 disc worth of ric flair's matches is excellent. I can't wait for this.
Rating: Summary: Great DVD! Review: If you're a Ric Flair fan then you NEED this DVD. If you're an old NWA fan you NEED this DVD. Matches released in DVD quality that were previously only out there in poor quality is reason enough to buy this DVD. With any hope they come out with another!
Rating: Summary: a man of great wisdom Review: I'll have to post this on CDNow.com next modnay during raw! This is hopefully going to be one of the most inspirational DVDs ever and save the dying sport of wrasslin. Ric Flair has been nothing but such a great influence in th wrestling world. He's inspired some of the best booking in wrestling (Triple H, Jeff Jarrett and Dusty Rhodes) and as well being the original Eminem where he has a million clones walking around the wrestling world (David Flair, The Maestro, Garrison Cade, Ricky Morton, Tommy Rich, Beautiful Bobby Eaton, Nature Boy Buddy Landell, Double J Jeff Jarrett, and a million jobbers from the 1980s where ever other jobber looked like ric flair). Hell, even Ric Flair inspired rock stars to steal his looks like GNR's Duff McKagan and Poison's CC Deville. As a huge bonus, Ric Flair had the best cronies hanging out with him such as Arn Andersen (just remember him as the great marty lunde, ace hardware store owner), Mongo McMichaels, Lex Buger, Ole Andersen, Batista, Overrated Randy Orton, Sting, and Wonderful Paul Roma. This DVD is just too sweeeeeeeeeet! I also agree that its the best chops money can buy!
Rating: Summary: "To be the man, you've gotta beat the man..." "WOOO!!!" Review: This 3-DVD set takes me back to my childhood, watching the NWA on TV and seeing "the Nature Boy" Ric Flair, that "limousine-riding, jet-flying, (WOOOO!!!), wheeling & dealing,... SONOFAGUN!" I can't help but smile. Ric Flair has dedicated over half of his life to professional wrestling; this DVD set is a rightful tribute to him, and fans will appreciate it. Among my favorite aspects of the Collection are: 1. His rivalry with Dusty Rhodes. Classic "Good Guy vs. Bad Guy" wrestling at its best. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Flair discuss the huge respect he has for "the American Dream" (and for all of the opponents highlighted in this collection) and how exhilarated he felt from their matches. 2. The Promos! Nobody gives a better promo than "Slick Ric." Arrogant. Cocky. Full of himself. I loved 'em all. 3. The Four Horseman. A true gem, Ric Flair, Ole Anderson, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blachard, with James "J.J." Dillon as the manager, constituted wrestling's original first family. I always derived a sick vicarious pleasure in listening to their bragadocious promos. One of Ric Flair's famous sayings is "To be the man, you've gotta beat the man." Ric Flair was, is and will always be, the man. For any professional wrestling fan, this Collection is a must-have. WOOOO!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Ultimate Collection Finds Ric Flair Near His Best Review: Pro wrestling fans finally get what they have asked for for many years, a DVD collection dedicated to Ric Flair. Fans looking to see classic footage of "The Nature Boy" from his career heyday as NWA Champion in the 80's will not be disapointed...there is a lot. Many of Flair's most popular opponents over his long career are spotlighted as well, as "Slick Ric" grapples with Terry Funk, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Sting, and Barry Windham,among others. 2 of Flair's most famous matches are inlcuded in their entirety, his 1989 NWA Title win over Steamboat and his 62 minute performance to win the WWF Title in 1992. Where fans may get disapointed is in the lack of attention Flair's later career recieves, as great feuds such as his WCW Title win over Vader in 1993 or his dramatic return to WCW TV in 1998 after prolonged legal battle with company executives get little attention, if any. Also, there is little footage from Flair's recent return to the pro wrestling ranks although his surprisingly good championship match with HHH from this past May is spotlighted, as well as a never before televised post match tribute in which over 20 wrestlers participated in honoring "The Nature Boy". Still, shortcomings aside, there has never been a collection dedicated to Ric Flair that even approaches this. Pro Wrestling fans may want more but they will not be upset with what they have.
Rating: Summary: Best WWE DVD Review: I admit it. When I first got The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection, I just didn't get "it." Being used to watching high-flying matches, I didn't appreciate all the old Flair matches. Well, I've grown as a wrestling fan and now I realize just how special this 3 DVD set is. This is my most watched DVD, and I've watched the Steamboat matches god knows how many times. The only really weak match is the one they have with Sting. They decided to go the chronological route for the DVD so they included the 1994 match instead of their classic from Clash of the Champions I.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Must Have Collection Review: I'll admit that I was alittle wary of buying this DVD because I'd been burned in the past with other wrestling DVDs having just clips of matches. This one delivers the goods! I would buy it just for the Flair/Steamboat matches. You get on the 2nd disc two matches with "The Dragon" and both matches clock in at 60 minutes a piece! That's right WWF. These two fantastic future H.O.Fers wrestled for 60 MINUTES STRAIGHT! That's 120 minutes of pure energy, high-flying, aggressive, welt smacking grappling at it's greatest. The two matches with Flair and Steamboat are two of the finest examples of heavyweight wrestling EVER! BUY THIS DVD JUST FOR THIS!
Also, The wrestling clinics featuring "Steamboat" and Flair are fantastic.
The matches with Barry Windham are also classic wrestling clinics. Barry Windham was a great grappler and he gave Flair all he could handle.
The Terry Funk stuff just doesn't belong here. It's interesting to see Flair trying to do extreme ECW style, but it isn't him at all. I mean c'mon. Terry Funk got his rump kicked by Patrick Swazy in "Roadhouse"! How tough can this guy really be? The Royal Rumble stuff should have also been left out. There are MUCH better Flair/Hogan matches that could have been shown other than this one.
They should have put his classic battles with the OTHER "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel on these dics. Watching those battle it out over who was the REAL "Nature Boy" were great matches.
Seeing Flair's first WWWF match from '76 was also fun. Seeing that he had his classic "WOOOOOO" and strut even way back then was fun to watch. The interviews from Flair's past are also a blast to see. Hearing Flair using his famous catch phrases for the first time and watching the "Nature Boy" image and persona take shape was interesting and enjoyable.
Overall, this is a GREAT DVD and Highly recommended.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
