DVD Reviews of WWE: Nature Boy Ric Flair - The Definitive Collection
DVD Review: Was a lot better than I thought it would be....
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a huge fan of Ric Flair, I wasn't sure about a second three disc compilation of some of his matches.
But the DVD collection was actually fantastic. The matches were, naturally, top notch. And despite a repeat from the first set of discs, it was great. I highly recommend purchasing if you are a fan of Ric Flair.
DVD Review: Lot of new interview time
Summary: 5 Stars
The first DVD has a lot of new interview time where Slick Rick talks about everything from the plane crash to retirement. Stuff that wasn't in his previous 4 DVD set. Some of the matches are the same and not much about the Horsemen as I would want.
Highly recommended!
DVD Review: Forever the man, forever a fan, but not of this dvd
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been a fan of the Nature Boy for quite some time. This dvd came out to a lot of hype, but didn't live up to it. It seems as though they just put a lot of the information in it that was told in the first Ric Flair dvd that was released, with the exception of his retirement. The song that they put to the story line was good, but it is grossly over used in the dvd. It looks like it was rushed, which the WWE is becoming famous for, and poorly put together. The matches they included are average at best, and definately not the definative collection. Had I known what this dvd was like before I bought it, I wouldn't have wasted my money. I watched it once and haven't looked at it since. DVD Review: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my husband for Christmas, and he was so excited he said WOOO!DVD Review: Not a Definitive Collection but surely a Great Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
While Ric Flair's first release in 2003 was indeed the Ultimate Collection as it stated to be. This Definitive Collection isn't quite definitive. But the documentary sure is & the reason why this gets a 4 stars. I was also pleased that they put Ric's Farewell Address from RAW in it's entirety. So I give props to WWE for that.
The first disc only holds the documentary along with the Ric Flair tribute video & a couple of stories about Ric. Discs 2 and 3 are only matches with the third disc also having a couple of Ric Flair's promos from his NWA days & his Farewell Address on RAW (which is in it's entirety) the night after Wrestlemania. Lets get into disc one...
Lasting nearly 2 hours the documentary in my view really talks about the most important & interesting aspects throughout Ric Flair's career. You will hear from Ric himself & his family, legendary icons including Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Kevin Von Erich, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, former NWA owner David Crockett, Jack Brisco, JJ Dillon, Barry Windham, & others. It covers many of Flair's past from his beginnings in the AWA, Mid-Atlantic wrestling. And his near fatal plane crash Flair suffered very early in his career. Coming back & being the NWA World Champion, forming the Four Horsemen, his feuds with Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, & Sting. Having problems in WCW & coming to the WWE for a short period. More problems for Flair once going back to WCW. Returning to the WWE again & having epic matches with the likes of the Undertaker from Wrestlemania X8 & Triple H for the World Title from RAW in 2003. Forming Evolution with Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista. And his final days in the business along with going into the Hall of Fame.
Disc 2
Mid-Atlantic Wrestling 8.18.82
Vs. Jack Brisco
This was during Flair's first run as NWA champion. Brisco was the former World champion. Not a match that was originally suppose to be here but one of those matches that Flair got himself into kind of deal. 4/5
World Class Championship Wrestling 8.24.82
2 out of 3 Falls Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Vs. Kerry Von Erich
This match was just a straight up war. Flair & Von Erich really fought the living day lights out of each other. If you're not familiar with the Von Erichs then this is a perfect match to see one in. A terrific match for the World Title. 5/5
Mid-Atlantic Wrestling 8.31.83
NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Vs. Harley Race
At the time, this match was very rare because this match happened on television. And back then they rarely put World title matches on free TV. Race & Flair had far better matches together but this is a match that led to their epic Steel Cage match at Starrcade later that year. 4/5
World Wide Wrestling 12.15.85
w/ Arn Anderson & Ole Anderson Vs. Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, & Manny Fernandez
Little surprised that this match was on here. It seemed like this is a match that they would've put on the Four Horsemen DVD. But it is a wild & crazy six man tag bout. I would've liked to have the Steel Cage match between Flair & Ricky Morton from the Four Horsemen DVD on here rather than this. But still a good match. 4/5
Clash of the Champions 3.27.88
NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Vs. Sting
This is the match that put Sting on the map. The crowd was very into this one. Sting did an outstanding job in the ring against the Nature Boy. The only bad thing to say about this match is that since this being on TBS it only had a 45 minute time limit and not a 60 minute time limit. Phenomenal match though nevertheless. 5/5
Great American Bash 7.23.89
NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Vs. Terry Funk
This match is unusual because its one of the first times that Flair is the face & not the heel. I liked this match very much but I personally like their I Quit match better. Flair gets very bloody here. The end was very sudden though, I must say that. The after math added some good value to it too with the Great Muta & Sting coming out and having a big postmatch brawl with Flair & Funk. 4.5/5
Disc 3
Madison Square Garden 10.28.91
Vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
I wasn't really all too fond with this match with Piper. It didn't suck but it just wasn't my cup of tea so a speak. But it is a rare match to see & a good one at that. 4/5
Spring Stampede 4.17.94
WCW Championship
Vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
While this match being a great one, it just wasn't the same as from their classics in 1989. But I do have to say either way, you will still get a great match up whenever The Nature Boy & The Dragon tie it up and this is no exception. You will still be pleased with this one. 4.75/5
Taboo Tuesday 11.1.05
Steel Cage Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Vs. Triple H
One of the greatest steel cage matches ever. This shows with Flair being north of 50 that Flair can still dish out & take a beating at the same time. In my opinion this is a classic match. A great match up right here. 5/5
Wrestlemania XXIV 3.30.08
Vs. Shawn Michaels
With this match happening 2 months before this release, it shouldn't have been on here. It is a great match but this could've been saved for another Flair classic from the 1980's. But with all do respect, a great match from two of the greatest performers of all time. 4.5/5
As I stated before this is not a Definitive Collection but I think most fans will be satisfied. It wasn't a waste of money & I'm glad I bought it. I also recommend the Ric Flair: Ultimate Collection set along with this DVD. I think the match selection could've been more thought out but overall I was pleased with the product. Very well worth it to me.
