Greatest Stars of the 90s DVD

[arthuradams2002]

I just got done watching the DVD. One big name, who is not surprisingly absent from the list is Ultimate Warrior. As it was mentioned on the DVD, Hulk Hogan's tenure in the WWE was winding down in the early 90s. In a previous DVD, Hulk Hogan mentions how Warrior taking the title in 1990 wasn't the passing the torch that Hulk was expecting. After Hulk left in 1993, the next top babyface in the company was Bret Hart. Do you think if the Warrior would not have had so many problems with the WWE and lasting a long time in the company throughout the 90s, would Bret Hart still have had a run as champion ?

I do think Bret would have eventually gotten the title, but I'm sure the Warrior would have also had another run had he stuck around. Warrior v. Yokozuna, Warrior v. Luger, and a proper Warrior v. Taker would have been neat attractions even if they weren't technical masterpieces.

Well, I think it would have been delayed. Warrior was primed to be the face of the company, and he had all the attributes to be just that. I think it was really dumb of Vince to have him drop the title to Slaughter at Rumble. But, yea, I think Warrior could have enjoyed 3 years (give or take) as the top face of WWF. I do think that Bret would have emerged eventually as one of the top players in the company, but maybe as a cocky heel, a role he played very well.

[Woooooolhouse!]

There were three errors I noticed while watching that DVD last night. Two of them must not have been huge- because I forgot them- but one huge one was the graphic stating that Ric Flair won the 1993 Royal Rumble. Tazz still says "1992" but just the fact that the graphic has the year wrong . . . I dunno, it's one of those things that bugs me. How can I get a job for editor, because I notice things like that in the magazines, too, all the time!

Warrior was flopping as champion since April '90. I hardly think it was a dumb move by Vince to have him lose it to Slaughter.

That's not the worst flub I've seen: On the Tombstone DVD, it states in the clip where Taker tombstones Sid at Wrestlemania 13, that it happened at Wrestlemania VIII in 1992!!!

[A Dubya (El Hombre Muerto)]

Yeah, I knew it was one like that on Tombstone.

On the cover Steve Austin's vest appears to say 3:61 instead of 3:16. You can't see the last number but it is clearly "36". Anyone else dig the Wrestlecrap section of this DVD?

[Crappler El 0 M]

I don't dig the wrestlecrap section just because of the inclusion of Waylon Mercy. Other than Warrior, you could also argue for Vader, Goldberg, Savage, or Sid being included. Even though I like Owen more than all those, I don't think he was a bigger star of the 90s. Also, Madusa and Bull Nakano are not two of the greatest stars of the 1990s, so I was bothered by the inclusion of that match.

[Hassan bin Sober]

And what is up with Taz on this thing? It's like he can't pronounce his words. Has he always been like this and I am just now noticing it? Instead of Intrepid for example he said, "Intreper".

I own this DVD, and I think Steve is kind of folding in the "1" part of 3:16 with his hand on his hip.

That's what I think it is too.

As far as Tazz's voice goes, I think he has been playing up his Brooklyn accent in the past few years.

Is the DVD a worthy Purchase, regardless of errors?

[Lardlad]

I think it's worthy of a purchase, maybe just not a full price. If you can hold off, wait until WWEShop.com or someone puts it on sale....

[Jiren]

Silver vision are selling it for £17.99

[Hassan bin Sober]

Kane should have been on the list IMO. More so than Owen Hart and Yokozuna.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I think it is something that could be passed on. Some of the matches are on other sets. The documentaries are pretty good, but a lot of them are rehashes other sets.

Just to add something to that. Warrior only had 2 sold out shows while champion. One was a house show against Rick Rude and the other was Summerslam 90.

It could also be argued that Hulk/Earthquake was part of the reason for SummerSlam selling out, not to mention the fact that it was a PPV when WWE only had four of them.

He only dropped it because he wasn't working out as well as champ.

Though if he was still in WWE in 1992 he would have been the guy to beat Flair.
