From PWI:
The latest update on the WWE World Class DVD is that it will now be released sometime this October. I spoke to several people who have seen the documentary in the last week and it was described to me as better than the Heroes of World Class DVD with the true World Class story presented without facts changed or misconstrued, which (if that is indeed the case) will be one hell of a DVD. WWE has shown in the past that they can do awesome documentaries, with the best still (in my opinion) being the Rise and Fall of ECW, so if they have given World Class similar treatment, this will be a can't miss DVD.

Gerry Brisco: "Well of course this is better than the Heros DVD!"
But seriously, I can't wait to get this release.

Better than Heroes of World Class? As hard as that is to believe, won't deny anything until it's released.

Hell, if its half as good as "Heroes" was, it'll still be a must have.

Heroes of World Class was great. I think that will be hard to top. The Heroes DVD had Kevin Von Erich returning to the Sportatorium one last time as they began demolishing it, on the nineteen anniversary of David's death. It's very emotional to see and hear him as he looks at the place one last time (noticing how some things were taken and how some things in there had changed).
If WWE could do one thing better than Heroes did, they could possibly be more direct in talking about the pressure the Von Erich boys were under (i.e. Fritz's temperament), the way WCCW influenced the way females were used in wrestling (i.e. Sunshine and Precious, before there was Elizabeth and Woman), and how Fritz tried to cover up problems his sons had. Perhaps it could paint a more honest picture of the Von Erichs.
The Heroes DVD was great and mostly honest, with a little spin. I was expecting WWE's to be much more full of spin.

I'm curious to know who was interviewed for this - did they bring in Kevin, Gary Hart, Bill Mercer, etc?

Lets see, they probably interviewed.
Kevin Von Erich, Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin and............I dunno. Who else is still around that would have some insight stories about World Class.

If "Paul Bearer" Percy Pringle is on good enough terms with them, he's a possibility.

Undertaker too. When Bruiser Brody did that masked "Red River Jack" character in WCCW, Brody was forced to team up with Red River Jack...who was then a very young Taker in a mask. Might have been one of the first, if not first things Taker ever did.
I'd think that Taker and Austin would be on the DVD, even for just being fans of the glory years.

I did buy it in the end, for about £8 inc delivery from the US, and I have to say it is absolutely outstanding, probably the best wrestling DVD I own.
And has a crowd ever popped more than when Kerry beat Flair for the NWA title?
