Bluray Rewind Reviw: nWo The Revolution

For the most part I enjoy the documentaries that the WWE has done over the years, and they have keept me a customer. Now this Bluray has some nice bonus features but the documentary seems as if it was made by an editor who went off some quick bullet points on what to throw together. I don't know the exact figures but I would be willing to bet the majority of the video sales on releases like this are made by the loyal adult fanbase who have followed the product passionately throughout the years. If this is the case do I really need a 90 minute gloss over of of one of the greatest factions / angles of all time. I know this shit, I watched it, its discussed pretty well, what are you adding to the conversation. The presentation was poor, the narroration sucked, the interviews lacked any kind of insight. I would of liked to see it as timeline doc detailing the happenings, the feuds, and aftermath of one of the more compelling times in pro wrestling history.

The star of the DVD is Cody Rhodes as he reminisced about how important the NWO was for him and his age group for pro wrestling gaining in popularity. Cody really did a fantastic job of enhancing the "magic" that angle had. Now the rest of the speaking heads were the absolute fucking shits. PLEASE LORD someone at WWE never let Arn Anderson speak on a documentary ever again. What a fucking tool. Dude we are in on your secret.....it isnt real. Arn Anderson is a bigger joke than the "It's still real to me" guy. Matt Striker, you were good on commentary on Smackdown for a hot 3 months, but now I just get the impression you have your job by being the ultimate yes man. Matt Striker could passionately describe the brilliance of the gobbely gooker as if it was the most meaningful thing in his life. Kevin Nash does a good job of almost taking credit for not giving a fuck and making stupid calls behind the scenes btu he sidesteps that and blames WCW for paying him so well, and the doc itself pretty much passes off any kind of blame. Vince Ruso was in this fucking thing for like 3 seconds, and I havent the slightest hunch as to why. There was also a dude who spoke that said he was Billy Kidman, but he looks nothing like the Kidman from the WCW days, goddamn Billy WTF.

I really think this documentary and some of the other recent releases are really just a ploy to show Sting they would love to have him, will enhance his legacy, and respect his contributions to rasslin. So Sting really bro, this TNA shit is going nowhere fast. If its all about a check and not really having to work, ok whatever. Just know if you do 1 last 12 month run with WWE it will cement your legacy as a top 10 guy. Trust Vince dude, he is willing to fuck his DVD buying audience buy releasing this dribbling shit documentary, but inside that documentary he will compliment the shit out of you and your importance. Give it a shot dude.

So if you are buying this you are buying it for it's fantastic bonuses....and they are
