I watched the Horsemen dvd in it's entirety last night. FYE had it in stock, but since it isn't officially released yet, they made me buy a gift card for the price of the dvd, and just gave me the dvd and kept the gift card. Anyway, here are my thoughts. The documentary is about 2 1/2 hours long. It gives a solid overview of the Horsemen run. There are no narrators trying to recreate history, it is narrated by the Horsemen members themselves. Flair, Arn, Tully, JJ, Barry, Benoit and Malenko give their input throughout. There is even a surprise appearance by Paul Roma, who comes off as a major tool in what he has to say. I won't ruin it for anyone. The original Horsemen faction is covered the most extensively, with the first 40'ish minutes of the dvd devoted to them. The matches are worth seeing. The Ric Flair vs Ricky Morton cage match from Charlotte Stadium is very good. They beat the hell out of each other, and Morton does one of his great sell jobs. It's a never before seen (unless you were there) gem that is worth getting. You'll be amazed at seeing a top Crockett babyface that actually sells for Flair... The 88' War Games was very good also. Kind of odd seeing Ellering on a team with Dusty, Nikita, Steve Williams and Lex Luger (i.e. with no Road Warriors). I'd rank this below the 1st War Games, and the 91 and 92 War Games', but it is very good in it's own right and probably comparable to the Orange Bowl War Games in 87. It's another never before seen (again, unless you were there) gem.
