1PW Wrestling - Will Not Die DVD

Advantages: A good insight into the most interesting promotion of all time!
Disadvantages: Made by the WWE

...When I saw this double disk DVD, I just jumped at the oppotunity to get it. When I first started to watch wrestling in 2000, I only faintly new what ECW was - but as my wrestling knowloedge started to grow, ECW had died. I had heard so many stories and tales from the company I had to find out more. And this DVD is no let down. This is the most extreme, interesting and emotional company the wrestling industry has ever seen. From the beginning we learn of the sensational events of Shane Douglas winning but then disowning the NWA Eastern Championship wrestling Heavyweight belt, declaring the era of Extreme and the breakaway from NWA and the birth of EXTREME! However, the most interesting part of the DVD for me is the WWE and the ECW working together in the mid 1990s. It started at the 1995 King of the Ring, where fans in the WWE arena... Read review

Advantages: Great insight on what its like "behind the curtains".
Disadvantages: Would of liked to of heard other wrestlers opinions

...If anyone is reading this who doesnt actually like wrestling, then dont worry, it really doesnt matter. This is no normal wrestling DVD, its all about what goes on behind the scenes in the life of a professional wrestler. This is a real life documentary following the ups & downs in the life of Bret "The Hitman" Hart and his final year with the WWF, and this documentary really did change the way that wrestling fans looked at the business and opened their eyes to a different side of professional wrestling. It it a fantastic look at the life of a wrestler on the road, the story lines, the money, and th people involved. It shows how Bret struggles to do what he thinks is the right for him, his family, his fans and the company that made him. The documentary leads to the last few moments that ended up being the most famous incident... Read review

Advantages: Some great real-life FX. SO bad its Good!
Disadvantages: Some terrible FX, Acting, and sets. Very Dated

...Oh boy, this is one crazy, crazy movie. The title says it all - Night of the bloody apes…. Well actually its more like bloody ape, - there's only one of them. The movie opens with a laughably 60's style female wrestling match and then swiftly moves on to follow one mans plight to save his dying son, trying to cure his leukaemia by means of an ape to human heart transplant. Surprisingly the operation is a complete success but by the time we've endured another 10 minutes or so of wrestling things really start heating up in the lab and the doctor's son turns into an ape-man. Gee I never saw that one coming. The transformation from man to ape is hilarious, a shot of a man in very bad ape make-up is slowly faded in on top of the doctor's son. "I was prepared for everything but this" cries the disappointed doctor as his ape-like son (man... Read review
