I looked in the current WWE magazine and saw the ad for the DVD listed as 3 discs, I knew I had seen it somewhere. Called WWE Shop Zone this morning and confirmed that it was a misprint and it is only a 2 disc version from them. I guess that puts an end to any 3rd disc rumors.

I watched both discs yesterday and must admit I was very pleased with the content. No, there is no new Ole material, but there is plenty of Ole footage from the Horsemen's early days.
 
I had to laugh at the new Paul Roma interview as he really tried to convince everyone (even himself) that he was a good Horsemen.

I was surprisingly pleased with this release. Documentary was good... loved all the extra promos. They could have had another couple of discs with more matches. But I think everyone is hoping for a second release sometime in the future.
 
 Oh, and Paul Roma made me laugh. I also laughed at Ric talking about how much Sid sucked... "please put this on the dvd, because it's the truth." Loved it.

Not only is Ole prominently featured throughout the documentary, Gene Anderson is also mentioned several times throughout the first 30 minutes, with HHH and maybe Michaels (I forget now) putting over the Andersons as one of the toughest teams ever.
 
I liked the way it portrayed the Anderson family (Gene, Ole, Ric, later joined by Arn) as the foundation of what would become the Horsemen.
 
Odd that they got Arn's origin as an Anderson wrong, though. They presented it (Arn had this wrong himself!) as though Flair brought Arn in from the Dothan AL territory and Ole agreed to make him an Anderson because they looked so much alike. That is only about 1/3 true. Ole actually gave Arn the Anderson name in 1983 (not sure of exact date, heck maybe even late 1982) when Arn and Matt Borne formed a good tag team managed by Paul Ellering. Arn was presented as Ole's nephew at that time.
 
I thought the documentary was excellent, while I thoght the choice (and amount) of "extras" was pretty weak. (The helicopter landing at the Bash with Flair was very cool, though!)

I bought the DVD and watched it over the weekend.  I thought WWE did a great job putting the DVD together and it seemed to be very factual and in line with what the Horsemen were all about and how the different versions of the Horsemen came about.  Those interviewed seemed to give honest insight into things and you could really tell that Flair despises Sid Eudy.  The matches on the DVD were good as well.  I put the DVD up there in quality with the Road Warriors DVD and the Spectacular Legacy of the AWA.  Very, very good DVD.

I thought is was a great DVD, however, there's still tons more from the early days that could've been used. I hope there is a part two to this in the future.

I would've liked more extras, better matches, but some of them were neat, matches I don't recall being released before on other DVDs, videos, such as Morton-Flair and the '88 WarGames. Not saying they're not out there, just not commericially released.

I was very happy when Tully gave a nod to those Greensboro Horsemen fans.
He said he first noticed us on the second row one day early in the Horsemen formation.
The first time that happen we were on about row twenty. And we spelled out HORSEMEN when Flair and Tully came out to the ring.
 When Rock and Roll came out, we flipped the signs and spelled out ROMPEROOM.
Those were the days.

I'm disappointed that:
 
1.) Crockett didn't have a commentary team for the 88 War games and 86 Cage match.
 
-=-OR-=-
 
2.) WWE didn't put JR with Arn and/or Flair and overdub some new commentary on those matches. They overdub alternate commentary on all the japanese matches for the various releases, so why couldn't they do that here?
 
 
 
Also still no Sting vs Flair from Clash 1 or War Games 87 is fairly disappointing.

i actually liked that there wasn't any commentary on the Flair/Morton and War Games Matches.
