Rating: Summary: Best Wrestling DVD Ever! Review: My jaw about hit the floor when I saw the commercial for this DvD on raw. I knew it would be good and imediately bought it. I had no idea just how good it would be! This set is chop full of material! I am in awestruck at the sheer amount of footage, matches, and interviews from Flairs career jam packed on this set. I have wanted a DvD like this for so long and I can't believe how incredible it is. Whole hour long matches including ring intrances and many times before and after match interviews. All the interviews and skirmishes with foes that lead up to his biggest matches. The best part for me was some of the footage of the original 4 horsemen. I grew up watching the horsemen dominate the NWA and have always felt that the 80's NWA was the best wrestling that ever was. They even have the time the Horsemen broke Dusty Rhoads legs. I still remember how upset that made me when i was a kid! Now that Vince owns every major wrestling company that ever was, you can put together a complete career DvD like this regardless if a star moved from company to company. I will be looking for future DvD's like this one! I can not recommend this DvD enough to any wrestling fan! Even if your not a Flair fan, and god knows how you can not be, this is wrestling history. Some of the greatest matches and rivalries ever in wrestling are contained here. Ric Flair will always be my favorite wrestler! Whooooooooo!!
Rating: Summary: FLAIR: the J.R. Ewing of wrestling Review: No, Flair isn't the best, biggest, baddest wrestler. However, like Hogan made the ultimate good guy, Flair made the bad guy. I haven't received this DVD set yet. People absolutely loved to hate him. However, I'm afraid of a WWE spin to this. Make no mistake about it: Flair made his name before WWF. I have quite a few of wrestling moments on tape - mostly NWA/WCW stuff. No one could strut down the aisle like Flair. The matches with Sting and Steamboat are great (I have these on tape). I would have like to see Flair against Wahoo McDaniel though. A moment that i again have on tape (but sadly not on the DVD set) is when Flair says "The problem with Brian Pillman is that his mouth is bigger than what his a** can empty." That just killed me! Another moment was when Luger and Flair were talking in the ring. Flair being calm as he always was when talking told Luger, "Luger, if you get in my face one more time, I'm gonna kick your a**." WWE has made Flair into a joke......I'm very sorry for that. However, from reading the other reviews and the actual DVD contents, this set should be pretty damn good.
Rating: Summary: ABOUT TIME !!! Review: Great dvd a must have for any Flair fan.Brings back memories of the good old days!!!Vince should have left the WWE stuff out.The great one have done nothing in WWE.If you are looking for great Flair stuff a lot is here but it needs more Mid-Atlantic matches!!!No great Wahoo McDanial,Blackjack Mulligan matches.

This is definitely a step in the right direction for WWE Home Video.
Rating: Summary: A Must Have for the Flair/Wrestling Fan!!! Review: This DVD was incredible. To have (3) DVD's that chronicle Flair's historic battles with Dusty, Race, Sting, Steamboat, Funk, Hogan, Piper is just awesome. 10.5 hours of "The Nature Boy" stylin' and profilin'. On a scale of 1 to 5 Stars I would rate this "10" stars. There is no "dead air" on this DVD. To see vintage Flair "back in the day" and then to see/hear him today as he discusses his career makes you feel as if you are directing the show. This is a MUST HAVE!!!
Rating: Summary: Greatest wrestling DVD ever! Review: A fantastic DVD that old school fans will love. Seeing him in all his youthful glory made me feel like a kid again. Steamboat vs Flair is still the five star match it was back then! New fans should see this to... just so they can understand why the locker room idolizes him so much. Wooooo!!!
Rating: Summary: The Ric Flair Collection Review: This is without a doubt one of the best dvd sets to come along in a long time.It takes me back to when prowrestling was still Believable.And Guys like Flair Rhides and the Road warriors ruled.For and Prop wresling fan this is a must.I only hope that this kind of indept shows will be made about Bruno,Rhodes,The Road Warrior and Thje original sheik from Syria.
Rating: Summary: WOOOOOOO!!!!!! Review: Finally, the WWE has gotten it right. Ric Flair's DVD is by far and away the single greatest DVD ever produced in the wrestling industry. If you're a Flair fan, it's a must have even if you've seen the matches over and over again. The buildup for his classic matches with Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, Terry Funk, Sting, Barry Windham, and the '92 Royal Rumble are all included. Besides the great matches, they do a sitdown interview with Flair and they discuss his career throughout each disc including his departure from WCW in 1991. I've been a Flair fan for 15 years and there's a lot of stuff on here that I've never seen before such as many of the lead-in items with the Race match. Also, there are somewhere between 5-7 easter eggs featuring some of Flair's best promos. Plus, check out the two features on disc 2 involving the Four Horsemen. Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson talk about the history and the lifestyle of the Four Horsemen. Overall, it's a great DVD that trumps anything the WWE has done before. It makes Hogan's 2-disc DVD set look like child's play.
Rating: Summary: The Nature Boy ultimate collection of matches... Review: This is a must have for any and all wretling fans. Tells a story that not many dvds can. Better IMO, than Hulk Still Rules, a 3 disc set including title wins, fueds, blood, and all. BUY THIS and watch Ric Flair become what he is today, a kiss stealing, wealing dealing, son of a gun.
Rating: Summary: gimmick man Review: Flair is what i like to call all gimmick with idiot Americans buying into it. He may well have been a great amateur wrestler in high school but who isn't, being a good amateur wrestler don't mean your going to be a good pro wrestler, the reason he may look good in the ring against guys like steamboat is only because steamboat makes him look good. Flair has achieved certain achievements in his life like returning to the ring from a broken back curt icy of a plain crash and using politics well to help him get to where he is, it must take a smart man to not be good in the ring and still be a popular wrestler.
