Summary: Good, but incomplete
Review: 'N W O: Back in Black' chronicles the rise and fall of the New World Order in WCW in the late 90s and its recent resurgence in the WWF in 2002. The 83 minute feature covers the beginnings of the group very well but is incomplete as glosses over A LOT of ground in between.THE FEATURE: The actual feature covers the following: 1. A rundown of the WWF careers of Hulk Hogan, Razor Ramon and 'Big Daddy Cool' Diesel. 2. The origins of the 'Monday Night Wars' and the first appearances of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash on WCW Monday Nitro. 3. The formation of the N W O at the Bash at the Beach 1996. 4. The N W O's running roughshod over the WCW roster during the Summer and Fall of 1996 including the parking lot attacks, in-ring attack on the Horsemen and Dungeon of Doom and the Giant's joining the N W O. 5. From there the feature TOTALLY glosses over the rest of the N W O storyline alluding to the tons of members that later joined and completely ignoring the rest of the angle. It also quickly glosses over what the WWF did during this time. 6. The feature picks up in the present with Ric Flair joining the WWF in November, 2001 and talks about how the Flair vs. McMahon feud led to McMahon brining back the N W O at February's No Way Out PPV. The rest of the feature talks about the N W O's short-lived WWF career up to Wrestlemania X-8. THE DVD SPECIAL FEATURES: Once again, the WWE is putting that WCW video library to great use with some GREAT extra matches on here. Here are the DVD extras: 1. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash vs. Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, Sting and Lex Luger from Bash at the Beach 1996: The landmark match and promo that started it all Hogan turns heel and joins the Outsiders to form the 'New World Organization.' 16 minutes. 4 stars. 2. Hall, Nash, Hogan and N W O Sting vs. Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Lex Luger and Sting from War Games 1996: The match that started the whole 'Crow Sting' angle. 20 minutes. 4 stars. 3. Kevin Nash vs. Bill Goldberg from Starrcade '98: Landmark match as Nash buries Goldberg, killing his heat and winning streak. 15 minutes. 3 ¾ stars 4. Hogan, Hall and Nash vs. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock from Raw, 3/11/02. Decent Raw Main Event. 9 minutes. 2 stars. 5. Two WWE video promos, one for the N W O, one promoting the No Way Out 2002 Pay Per View. 6. 4 hidden promos including one of the original N W O propaganda promos from '96. THE CRITICISM: While the feature is okay, the one limiting thing about it (and this applies to just about ALL WWF/E DVDs) is the hour time limit. There is just SOOOO much more that they can include on this but didn't. The beginning of the feature was just awesome with the chronicling of the 3 men's WWF careers and the origins of the N W O. Everything afterward is ALRIGHT but not that great. I REALLY did not like how they just skipped over everything else that happened in between. To me, this chronicling of the N W O storyline is incomplete for it. They fail to discuss the N W O feuds with Sting, Luger, the Horsemen, Piper and DDP and the split of N W O. Sure as the angle dragged on it sucked, but this 'revisionist' history of the angle is just bad. Some of the other things they could have included: 1. More bonus matches. They could have included more WCW matches including the War Games where the N W O killed the Horsemen. What about the Starrcade '97 match between Hogan and Sting which was the big payoff (though how underwhelming it was') to the N W O angle? What about the celebrity matches with Rodman or Jay Leno? Sure they weren't great matches, but they did big business. 2. More WCW footage, less WWF footage. The bonus promos were almost all WWF produced. The N W O was a WCW ANGLE. The focus should have been on the WCW side. More of the WCW promos should have been included including those t-shirt commercials. THE VERDICT: Well, the first half of the feature ruled; the second half did not. The included bonus matches were a great extra although that Rock/Austin match didn't really belong, imho. Overall, the video, while disappointing, is good for historical value as it is an OKAY recap of one of the biggest money making angles in wrestling history. For that reason this is recommended although the product itself could have been WAY better. Somewhat Recommended

Summary: Yet another attempt by Vinnie Mac to discredit WCW.
Review: As everyone knows, Vince McMahon and the WWF defeated WCW in the "Monday Night Wars", but Vinnie Mac really feels the need to shove this fact down everybody's throat, by not only discrediting former WCW champions like DDP, Bookert T, Scott Steiner, and Scott Hall, but also to [discredit] the one truly innovative idea Bischoff and WCW upper management came up with, the New World Order. As a "treat" to us WCW fans, Vinnie Mac provides us with maybe 15 minutes of footage dedicated to Bischoff's incarnation of the nWo, and about an hour to his pathetic version of the nWo, which in my opinion, was no different than the average mid-card tag team. We start off with bio's of Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall, Hulk Hogan, and Kevin "Diesel" Nash, and the shock of seeing them leave WWF for the greener pastures of WCW. Next, the disc shows the viewer the buildup to the PPV "Bash at Beach '96", where Hall and Nash, having ripped apart most of the mid carders at WCW, would choose a "mystery" partner, and would face WCW's top drawing performers, Lex Luger, Sting, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. In all fairness, the disc does articulate to the viewer the idea that the super babyface good guy Hulk Hogan couldn't possibly be this "myster" partner; which is what made Hogan's heel turn so surprising. Thankfully, they show Hogan's classic promo in it's entirety; Hogan elucidates the reasons why he was turning on the fans, and why he was joining the next generation of super stars, The Outsiders, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. But following the coverage of "Bash at the Beach", the disc really takes a turn for the worse. Not only does the WWF production team skim over the conflicts between the 4-Horsemen, and the nWo, they also blatantly ignore the pinnacle of the nWo era, the Wolfpac and Hollywood feud. This feud was the one and only thing keeping WCW alive (Goldberg was a no-talent flash in the pan, most nWo fans could see this, and WWE has quickly realized this [he was nowhere to be seen on their most recent PPV]), the merchandise they sold promoting this feud undoubtedly outsold WWF's merchandise at a 2-to-1 ratio, and combining the Wolfpac and Hollywood factions on 1/4/99 made absolutely no sense whatsoever. After skimming through nearly three years of WCW's history, the WWF treats it's viewers to their version of the nWo. From their introduction at No Way Out, where Steve Austin totally upstages them, to Wrestlemania X-8, where the Rock, and Steve Austin totally upstaged them. Thankfully, they don't show the Rock's promo with Hall and Nash on the Raw, following Wrestlemania X-8; where Rock totally disrespects Hall and Nash, and treats them like they're down syndrome or something. In wrestling, the object is to draw money, and no one has sold out more arenas than the Outsiders, Hall and Nash, and the way Rock treated them was despicable; and the WWE wonders why they can't draw in disgruntled ex-WCW viewers like myself. And the extras are absolutely laughable. While the Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash match from Starrcade '98 was a must see (Nash and Hall ending that loser Goldberg's "winning" streak), the others are paltry at best. War Games '96 was probably the worst War Games match in history, and the inclusion of Hall, Nash, and Hogan's match with Rock & Austin on the 3/11/02 Raw seems to be another attempt at [discrediting] WCW. Where's the Hogan/Bischoff match with DDP and Leno at Road Wild '98? Where's the DDP/Karl Malone, and Hogan/Rodman match? Due to their promoting these matches on the Tonight Show, they're some of the few matches people actually remember. If you're one of the millions of people who revelled in the entertainment factor the WCW's version of the nWo provided, then stay away from this disc; Vince McMahon hates the WCW fan base, and will likely continue to attempt to destroy any good memory's people had of the WCW/nWo era.

Summary: The nWo is back! And the nWo is Back In Black
Review: I give it a perfect 10/10 But it could Have Been 20/10. A very well done DVD. Only thing that would have made it better is if it had more! Features the begining of the Hostile Takeover of the WCW. And the recent injection of the nWo in the WWE. Too bad it didn't have more from the WCW days... Great extras though! This DVD is just too SWEET!

Summary: not bad, but too much coverage of the WWE era
Review: I have mixed thoughts on this DVD. I wasn't watching wrestling when the NWO first came on the scene in WCW. I was aware of the group, if only because people were wearing the shirts. The NWO merchandise was everywhere. It revolutionized WCW, helped bring them to the top of the Monday Night Wars with the WWF, and had influences reaching all over professional wrestling (no matter that the idea may have come first from Japan). Watching the WWF in later years, I only had a basic idea of how the group formed and influenced the business. When the NWO arrived in the WWF/E, it was a short lived and watered down shadow of what it once was. I wanted to know more about it. This DVD was the opportunity. The DVD covers the origins of the NWO, we see the arrivals of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in WCW. We see them hint at a third member of their group. They were hated and at Bash at the Beach, they were in a match against Randy Savage, Sting, and Lex Luger. They start the match with only Hall and Nash, but at the very end when everyone is laid out, Hulk Hogan comes out dressed in red and yellow. Everyone thinks that he is there to stand up for WCW against the Outsiders. Instead he drops the leg on Randy Savage and creates the New World Order. WCW was never the same. This DVD focues on the beginning of the New World Order. We see the early main actions of the group and The Giant (later The Big Show) joining. By the time the group splits into two factions, the DVD has moved on to the WWE time. There are years that are not covered by the DVD. Instead, fully half of the 90 minute program covers those meaningless short few months in the WWE. This second half is a complete waste. The first half is very interesting. The nice part of the DVD are the 4 bonus matches. 1. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash VS Sting, Lex Luger, and Randy Savage (Bash at the Beach, 1996). This match is the first time the Outsiders wrestled in WCW and with Hogan appearing at the end, marked the formation of the New World Order. 2. Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Fake Sting VS. Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Lex Luger and Sting (War Games, 1996). An interesting match featuring two rings and a steel cage. This was the beginning of when Sting would make his transformation from the comic book like character to the "Crow" Sting. The Giant and Randy Savage get involved after the match. 3. Kevin Nash VS Goldberg (Starrcade, 1998). Nash ends Goldberg's winning streak and takes the championship. 4. Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hollywood Hulk Hogan VS The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin (Monday Night RAW, 2002). This is the first match the NWO wrestled in the WWE. It leads into the Wrestlemania matchups.
