A Legendary Era
Some will be greatly disappointed by the number of repeat matches on this compilation, especially considering that both the Goldberg/DDP match and War Games match from Wrestle War ’92 were featured on compilations released less than six months ago. Still, we do get the Cactus Jack/Vader “Texas Death Match” that should have been on a Mick Foley set ages ago. It’ll be interesting to see what exclusives matches that will make it to Blu-ray. Hopefully, less repeats and more rarities.
