Advantages: Takes you back down memory lane Disadvantages: Vince McMahon's superstars have done so much for wrestling these guys look really bad
...ITV. This DVD captures the best of that era. But after the last 15 years of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to name just a few, the best of the ITV era is nothing to brag about.
