Summary: Be fair to Flair
Review: This is a really well put together DVD collection. It's probably the best wrestling DVD ever produced, not that I have seen that many of them. It features some of Ric Flair's best matches from throughout his long career, plus some of the storylines that led up to the matches. Since Flair is considered by many people to be the greatest wrestler of all time, this is a must get for wrestling fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How can I be so wrong? What a package.
Review: When I first read reviews on the DVD and asked some friends who've already purchased it, I guess I would want to see it but not buy it. Well I did and could not be any happier.

When reading the back seeing names like Barry Windham,Dusty Rhodes,Harley Race I have to be honest that it really doesn't excite me. But I mean the backround events and amount of countless and endless features and thoughts going into them was awesome. Anyhow the following is my opinions on these features :

Disc 1 :
-Intrwooooo

Harley Race - not that great for me

Dusty Rhodes Starrcade - I like Dusty's charisma but watchign him wrestle isn't that fun. But the events leading up to are pretty good.

Barry Windham - did not enjoy this part much

Disc 2 - as you read I did not like the first disc at all actually but the second and third blew it away.

Ricky Steamboat feud with a match of theirs
Ricky Steamboat WrestleWar - its called their best match together

Terry Funk I Quit Match - I enjoyed this part, really entertaining

Disc 3 -maybe my fav disc?

1992 Royal Rumble - Ric Flair walks in no.3 and wlaks out the new WWE Champion... I'm sorry the Real Worlds Heavyweight Wrestling Champion. Wooo!

v. Sting - goodness

also the may 21st match against Triple H with the post-match tribute to Naitch.

Overall I cannot really name all of the extra features because there really is that many. But newer fans may not really enjoy spending 10.5 watching this, honestly I fast-forwarded some 60minute matches but it still is the best WWE has ever released onto WWE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD only some things I would like to see changed...
Review: This is a great DVD, I have watched this a bunch of times. I love to see wrestling back in the day to see how it differs from wrestling today. My ony problem is, as with the Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels DVD's, they dont go into the history of the matches that much. Was Ric a face or heel in some of these matches?? And I wold have like to see more of a look back, not just some important matches (although the matched were GREAT!!). I would have loved to seen a year by year look back, when the Horsemen broke up and re-formed with a bunch of different members. When Ric talked about why he left WCW and came to WWF that stuff was great. I would love to hear more behind the scenes stuff. So although the matches were great, I would love to see a more detailed history of Ric Flair.

Summary: Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Review: Wow.

That is about the quickest way to describe this boxed set.

Ric Flair is easily the best all around wrestler to ever lace up a pair of boots, and this boxed set shows why. From his wars with guys like Harley Race, Terry Funk, and Ricky Steamboat to his more recent years in the WWE, this set covers every inch of it.

Whoever worked on this set for WWE deserves a raise. This is the best use yet of the footage that they own now to date. The set seems so complete in covering Flair's great work (unlike the more recent Mick Foley set, which is lacking some important material).

I found some of the navigation to be a little unclear, and I wish there was more than just one match with Steamboat in what is easily one of my all time favorite wrestling feuds, but even these things cannot make me give this set less than 5 stars.

Awesome stuff for a very great price. A must own for ANY wrestling fan of any age.

Summary: To be the man, you've got to BEAT the man!!! Woooo!!!
Review: Ric Flair was the man. I was never a big Flair fan. But to be fair to Flair, I bought the set and was pleasantly surprised.

The DVD set itself is classic. It crams as much information into a three DVD set as it could, and we still need part 2 & 3. Flair had incredible rivalries with Dusty Rhoades, Ricky Steamboat, Harly Race, and Sting. I remember watching them with great anticipation when I was younger. However, one match each, is just not enough.

Really, after watching this, the only question I was left with, was why does someone who has accomplished everything still compete? Shouldn't he have moved into retirement by now? Or is the WWE in such dire circumstances, that they need Flair to perform?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, great matches. So much more out there.
Review: First things first, it's nearly impossible to fault most of the match selection on this disc. 6 of the main 8 matches are true classics. Of the other two, it's totally understandable why Dusty Rhodes is on here, because of how long Flair and Rhodes feuded. The only real question mark is the Sting/Flair match from 1994. It's an alright 17 minute match, but they tease us by including the final minute of their 1987 45 minute classic.

Nonetheless, by all means, buy this DVD. The best U.S. Heavyweight ever. Then, hope for volume 2.

Still out there: Flair/Steamboat from New York in 1983. Flair/Steamboat from Chigaco in 89. The aforementioned Flair/Sting classic from 87. Flair/Savage from Wrestlemania 8 in 1992, in Indiana. Flair's title matches with Kerry Von Erich. The Flair/Vader 93 match. Anything post 1994.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Is The Ultimate In Wrestler Profile DVDs
Review: This three disk set is AWESOME from start to finish. I didn't know where to begin when I viewed it the first time.

It takes you back to Ric Flair's brutal wars with Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Sting, Rick Steamboat, and Barry Windham.

There is a ton of extras like Flair's debut match at Madison Square Garden, Confidential reports about Flair's plane crash, two stories about the Four Horsemen, and the night the WWE paid tribute to Flair on RAW in Greenville, SC.

If you like Ric Flair, then you will love this DVD set. It is a must have for any Flair fan.

I give it 10* out of 5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just buy it!
Review: Phenomenal DVD. The best product the WWE has ever put out on the best wrestler of the last 30 years.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In order to be the man you have to get this DVD!
Review: This is it. The almost ultimate collection of 'Slick Rick'. It stops around 92 before his matches with Savage and Hogan. But still in one of the best damn collections of wrestling I have seen in a LOOONG time. I am glad to see that the WWE is making use of the library of videos they bought when the accquired WCW. I really hope to see more like this. If I were running things over at Titan Towers I would release a Vol II of Flair stuff followed up by a classics series featuring some of the past greats like SuperFly, Steamboat and some of the other greats from the 70's and 80's.

Rating: 5 stars
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!!!!!
