The Rise And Fall Of WCW Overall: 8/10 (Watch the video for explanation) Documentary Portion: Everyone knows that it is misleading, not the real story, missing too much information, too careful, etc, etc. Really what did u expect from the DVD? I think people had too high hopes after The Rise And Fall of ECW (possibly the best WWE documentary of all time) and they thought that this would be the same. The WWE didn't want to burn any of their bridges with Hogan, Dusty, Warrior (for some strange reason) and others. On the ECW DVD they had really no bridges to burn because....(watch vid for reason). This documentary is still insightful in the stuff on the Jim Crocket Promotions and the NWA. I already know the full story of what happened in WCW through the books i have read on it (see vid for books). This vid was as good as I thought it would be and i was fully satisfied with it. Matches Portion: Some were really good, but some REALLY did not need to be on here. It seemed as if they treated the matches portion as "the best of wcw and matches relevant to their downfall (not necessarilly bad matches)" it should have just been "the best of WCW". I felt they could have put on way more matches from 91-94. That is the earliest period of WCW, some say the most boring, but there's still some AWESOME stuff there.

In that sense, there isn't alot of crap on this show to bring it down. And, as stated before, I was satisfied with the documentary so i am giving it an 8 and my recommendation to go pick it up. *I forgot to mention in the video but in the Eddie Guerrero/Syxx Ladder Match, they also BARELY used the ladder. I think if they had a regular match it would have been much better. Also the commentating here was HILARIOUS since they had it at the first nWo PPV instead of WCW so they rooted for syxx while they made fun of Eddie.
