DVD Reviews of WWE: Nature Boy Ric Flair - The Definitive Collection
DVD Review: Nature Boy Ric Flair: The Definitive Collection Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall I thought that this was a pretty good DVD set, however, there are a lot more Flair matches that the WWE could have put on this DVD that would have made it an even better product.
The matches are as follows:
Ric Flair vs. Jack Brisco (8/18/82)--I have to admit when I first read that this match was going to be on the set i was excited, however, when I watched the match I was a little dispointed. It was just a sub par match, nothing to really get excited about. I give it one and a half stars!
Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich (8/24/82)--This was a pretty good match. Von Erich and Flair usually had good matches and this one was good, not great, but good. I think if I was the WWE I would have maybe put on the match from Texas Stadium where Von Erich won the title. Now, that was a great match. I give this one two stars!
Ric Flair vs. Harley Race (8/31/83)--This was another ok match. I think the DVD would have been better served with just another match and not this one. I give this match one and a half stars!
Ric Flair, Arn and Ole Anderson vs. Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA and Manny Fernandez (12/15/85)--To me this was a waste of space on this DVD. Once again, to me, this match should have been cut with the Race match and filled with another, much better match from the vast archives of Flair's career. I give this match a half star!
Ric Flair vs. Sting (3/27/88)--This was the first really good match they included on this DVD. This was the match that definatly made Sting a household name. In my opinion, this is one of the best matches of all time going a full 45 minutes. Great match!! I give this match 4 stars!!
Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk (7/23/89)--This was a pretty good match not like their Clash of the Champions 9 match that they had. Again, this match could have been cut and had another match put in its place but it's still worth watching. I give this match two and a half stars!
Ric Flair vs. Roddy Piper (10/28/91)--Entertaining match to watch but again another just ok match to put on this DVD set. If you like Flair and you like Piper then you may like this match but it's still just ok. I give this match two stars!
Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat (4/17/94)--You have Flair and you have Steamboat, what more needs to be said. These guys in the ring is like watching poetry in motion. Great match to put on this DVD set, a lot of fun to watch. I give this match three and a half stars!
Ric Flair vs. Triple H (11/1/05)--Awesome match!!! One of the bloodiest matches I have ever seen and also one of Flair's best performances in the ring. This match proved that Flair could still get it done in the ring. Great match! I give this match four stars!!
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels (3/30/08)--This was Flair's last match and really, honestly, I don't know why people say this is a great match. I thought this match was again just ok. It was a slow match and kind of fun to watch but still nothing to harp over. I actually thought the Edge/Undertaker match was a better one on the card. I give this match two and a half stars!!
Overall, this DVD is worth getting especially for the essential Ric Flair fan. The documentary is very well done as are most of the WWE documentaries and the extras are fun too. All in all i would recommend this DVD but again, the matches are to me sub par.
DVD Review: There Can Be Only One....The Definitive Flair!
Summary: 5 Stars
This release coming as a sequel to the ultra successful "Ultimate" collection does not or will not disappoint. If you love pro wrestling, if you love Ric Flair, you will find it essential to not only own this DVD, but also the "Ultimate Flair Collection DVD" itself.
I will rate everything on a 10 point scale. 1 being the lowest and 10 perfection.
Disc 1:
Documentary (10/10) - Flair really opens up and isn't afraid to pull any punches and tell it like it is. You really gain more respect of Ric Flair, while the Ultimate Collection was more about Flair's matches this documentary is more about Ric Flair the man. Toward the end of the documentary it becomes more of a tribute by fellow WWE superstars Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, HHH, HBK, Batista, and Randy Orton, but also you see an emotional Flair who really chokes up toward the end. This is a must watch.
Special Features w/Flair Tribute video (8/10) - nothing really earth shattering, but you get awesome 2 minutes vignettes of short stories that Flair tells you about his life. Also is the Flair Tribute video which is really nice put together. Nothing earth shattering but worth checking out.
Discs 2 & 3: Matches
Jack Brisco - Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling 8-18-1982 (8/10) - This was an impromptu bout but what you see is Flair wrestle more of a scientific bout and push his wrestling acumen. It is a really good bout has some down time in it but it is a solid match in this set.
Kerry Von Erich - World Class Championship Wrestling 8-24-1982 (10/10) - This is probably going to be the most under-rated bout on this set. Diehard fans know how great Kerry Von Erich is and Flair and Kerry put on a classic bout which is 2 of 3 falls title match. You will not be disappointed
Harley Race - Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling 8-31-1983 (9/10) - The precursor to Starcade 1983, the fued of Flair and Race heats up here for a classic title bout. You really start to see here Flair take over as a star and Race performs legendary as well
Ric Flair, Arn & Ole Anderson vs. Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, & Manny Fernandez - World Wide Wrestling 12-15-1985 (10/10) - The match is solid, not great and not bad either but you get a Four Horseman bout in somewhat of a stable match. Flair had injured Dusty Rhodes and everyone rounds their men up.
Sting - Clash of the Champions I 3/27/1988 (10/10) - This is probably the signature bout on this DVD, if I could I would rate this bout 100. It is a personal favorite of mine and you will not be disappointed. It is 45 minutes of mayhem and J.J. Dillon is suspended above the ring!
Terry Funk - Great American Bash 7/23/1989 (9/10) - This is a great bout from two good rivals. You will not be disappointed!
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper - Madison Square Garden 10/28/1991 (7/10) - This is a solid match between two great rivals. Piper who never looked up to anybody and Flair who looked down at everybody. It is a good brawl and is a match more so to remind of how good Roddy Piper can be against the elite!
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat - Spring Stampede 4/17/1994 (8/10) - A Flair/Steamboat bout is as good as a match as any you can have, but it is disappointing that the WWE didn't put the Chi-Town Rumble bout on this match to complete the trilogy of legendary bouts between Flair and Steamboat. While I can rant over and over about why that match should be on here, this match is really the last great match by Steamboat and the two put on a classic bout here.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley - Taboo Tuesday 11/1/2005 (8/10) - You really learn how special Flair can be in this bout for the Intercontinetal title bout in a Steel Cage. In my eyes Flair puts out that last classic match and both get bloody you won't be disappointed.
Shawn Michaels - Wrestlemania XXIV 3/30/2008 (for the match (10/10) for the sentimental value 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/10) - The match that ended Ric Flair's career is a classic bout you knew Flair couldn't dodge any more bullets but he puts on a great show. You really can not measure how much Flair means to fans and fellow wrestlers. You can argue that you might rather have another match from the 1980's or 1990's from Flair but this match is great.
Disc 3: Special Features
Ric Flair's Farewell Address - I can not score it, it is immeasurable the emotion that night. I remember watching it that night and having a tear in my eye. To me it is not a farewell, but a celebration of excellence and only one man could have commanded that and that was Ric Flair!
Promos (100/10) - I am serious these are hilarious and great. This is what you call mic skills and if you are a wrestler today, or you want to be one, or you just want to learn to be cool watch these. Slick Ric is the the Limousine Riding, Jet Flying, Woman Stealing, Styling and Profiling!!!!!
Overview - While I almost thought is was impossible to top the Ultimate Flair collection, the WWE did. They put together another DVD set that you will not be disappointed in. This set is priceless
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.
