When it was still known as the "WWF"
A relatively large collection of wrestling matches and promos during the decade of 1980's from the WWE. 15 wrestlers are featured in 3 seperate DVD's with Mean Gene Okerlund setting up the intros to a short bio piece on each superstar. Although short, the bios are effective in setting up the importance of each wrestler during the decade.One thing that grates on my nerves a bit is the fact that the WWE changes(or edits out) the original entrance songs. JYD used to come out to "Another one bites the dust" all the time-now it's "Grab them cakes"(which is lame). For a short period in 1984, the Hulkster used "Eye of the Tiger" as his entrance theme. Now those are all edited out. Oh well.Overall this is very nice collection of wrestling nostalgia for those who grew up in the 1980's watching this stuff. Aside from the then-WWF stuff, you also get matches(and promos/interviews) from the AWA, NWA, and Mid-Atlantic regions. Of course there were other very influential wrestlers from the 80's that could easily fill up a volume 2 of this collection. Nonetheless, an enjoyable collection.

Back to the good ol' days!!
Some great classic matches that I have not seen before. A great way top recognize the legends that paved the way for the new brand of WWE superstars. I do like that their are matches on all 3 discs, not just the last one. Some pretty good documentaries, although a little on the short side. That's fine when ytou profile that many wrestlers as you have on this DVD. Worth $3.99 for the Chi-Town Rumble alone!! Go get it brother!!

Wrestling Superstars of the 80s
This three-DVD set is excellent. It highlights a time when wrestling really was entertainment! Now that WWE has access to the library of the AWA, WCW, NWA ECW and more, they have been able to compile some of the best wrestling matches that ever took place. I particularly liked the section on Bobby "The Brain" Heenan - himself not a succesful wrestler, but along with Jimmy Hart, one of the best managers the WWE has ever seen.I thoroughly recommend this DVD - I guarentee that if you were there in the 80's, you'll love it, and if you weren't, then even more reason to watch the REAL wrestling entertainment!

Fun video
Bought this to help grandson pass time during the pandemic. He loves wrestling game and has enjoyed this immensely. The old time wrestlemania is not as mean spirited as the way they are today.

Great way of presenting the 15 Superstars highlighted
Great way of presenting the 15 Superstars highlighted. 5 on each disc plus additional matches or promos highlighting those on that disc. One or two inclusions surprised me as did one or two omissions - However as I wasn't a fan in the 80s I will take WWE's selection as a good guide! Presented by Mean Gene Okerland made sense as he was a big on screen personality that was integral to the 80s.
