 THE BEST OF AWA...ONLY DESERVES 1...THERE LUCKY FOR 2! September 4, 2010
Leif A. Ostgard (Columbia SC)
The story of AWA is bland, but its allot better and more interesting than allot of the shows, angles and matches Verne produced. One only has to take a gander at AWA shows highlighted on ESPN Classics to see just how downright horrendous this promotion was. Sorry, but thats the truth. The ring product was about as good as a indy show with some over the hill guys still trying to make a buck...which actually it pretty much is. Here the best are highlighted...which all bolted to NWA, Memphis and of course the then WWF. Of course they are highlighted by Vince because they are actually his guys, thankfully since allot of the performers Verne used were about as impressive as Boris Zokoff at best. How this promotion ever made a dime is beyond me, the matches are put together so horribly, especially Vernes. During the comback there are always lock-ups...it makes no sense. Again watch ESPN Classic if you don't believe me...horrible wrestling. The story was better...the best of the AWA actually are the WWF and NWA guys from the 90's who had better matches with actual talent in other organizations. Passable DVD.
Great Collection April 27, 2010
Ricky Lee Hicks (Murrells Inlet, South Carolina USA)
A more than decent collection of the classic AWA matches and stars. No way to capture all of it in one collection but they made a decent effort!
 great! January 23, 2010

ok this dvd, this story is great. if you are a young wrestling fan (like myself, im 22)than this dvd is a must. it is just so awesome. pretty much if you have the rise and fall of wcw, the monday night wars,the rise and fall of ecw, and this dvd....than well you have a HUGE chunk of wrestling history, and can learn ALOT. the story on this dvd is about how the AWA pretty much made the mold for the 80s wrestling boom. Verne gagne almost single handed created all the stars who would move on to make WWF. hogan,grahm,slaughter,jesse the body,mean genne,HBK,crusher,mad dog,dusty rhodes....the list goes on. they all went through AWA, and almost all of them were molded there. this also tells the story of when mcmahon started his hostle take over, how the AWA, and NWA tried to join forces to slow vince down. i cant really explain how great this dvd, and story is. i thought i knew alot about wrestling, but i learned alot seeing this. if your a fan who is interested in the history of the biz...you almost have to have this. plus there is a 2nd disc with matchs and outtakes.
almost great June 7, 2009

Having been fan of Verne's AWA I have to say the first dvd is really very good,and a true must for any wrestling fan.I wasn't as bothered by what was on the dvd's as much as what wasn't. Huge talk about the Road Warriors and the Freebirds and yet no matches to be found. What gives??? The match with Curt Hennig and Nick Bockwinkle is by far the best on the dvd.The Midnight Rockers cage match againest Playboy Bddy Rose and Doug Sommers is a close 2nd. We really could have used a 3rd disc.The AWA was around for over 30yrs and this is it!!! I have read bad things about Verne Gagne,but is there any sucessful owner/promoter that hasn't taken knocks over things real or imagined? I did like this overall because of the history of the sport.That seems to be missing now and is totally been molopolized as it was back in the 30's and 40's. The interview segments with Bockwinkle were great.The ones with Jim Ross(WWE toady) not so much.WWE Presents: The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA

This brought back great memories. When you watch it, you'll be peppered with "Had Verne Gagne done (____) or this or that, the AWA would still be around!" Irrelevant! The bottom line is that the AWA WAS the best at the time (until the late 80's and early 90s). This production is a great buy because it illustrates what "Old-School" Wrestling was all about in AWA!
