WWE - Legends Of Wrestling - Hulk Hogan And Bob Backlund

[5.0] "A really so-so DVD. There are two key sections to the set. One is a round table panel hosted by Jim Ross featuring Michael Hayes, Pat Patterson, Dusty Rhodes, and Mike Graham discussing the Bob Backlund and Hulk Hogan, obviously. Then naturally there are the matches; six matches, three for each wrestler. The round table was really just a formality in the DVD. I didn't get the DVD for this section but I watched it cuz it was there. It's not great or especially groundbreaking. Some of it feels incredibly scripted and thus it doesn't feel organic. There's a lot of glazing, especially for Hulk Hogan. With Bob Backlund, they told quaint little stories and talked about how athletic he was but with Hogan, it was nonstop sloppy. Talking about "he's the man". "He's the most recognizable sports figure in the world". "He's a national treasure". "He's the greatest attraction in the history of the business". I'm pretty sure I heard Mike Graham say Hogan had the fattest cock in the locker room. Some pros were that there were lots of great rare or at least classic footage throughout along with blurbs with interesting facts to go along with what is being talked about. There are some fun little anecdotes from the panel; For example, Mike Graham told a story about Bob Backlund when he was young, working in his dad's territory, CWF, and knocked out Buzz Sawyer in a submission hold during some type of training. Something I thought was really fascinating was that this was before the reconciliation, so they were shitting on Ultimate Warrior heavy. Some minor cons is that there are no subtitles, so that sucks cuz I can't hear what they're saying unless I'm blasting the volume. Now, the matches were what drew me in. Seeing all these rare matches you'll never see anywhere else was very appealing. Only two matches are repeats. Hogan vs Race which is in the Best of Saturday Night's Main Event, and Backlund vs Snuka which is in Greatest Wrestling Stars of the 80s and Greatest Cage Matches of All Time. Though they were a draw for me, the matches were kind of mid. The only matches I would consider worth while are Hogan vs Race and Backlund vs Rose. The worst match on the set is Backlund vs Snuka."
