Not sure where was best to put this, but here's a link to view a video clip of the upcoming DVD:

Why do you say that???????

You  maybe right OLE is not even on the cover of the DVD.

At least he markets it...otherwise we may never see that old classic stuff.
 
I know what you mean Greg, but without those WWE DVD's and 24/7 out there, those footage may never see the light of day.

yeah, but....
 
who is Ole Anderson?
 
did he ever work for vince? in any capacity? much less in the past 20 plus years? nope. the new crowd watching this stuff has no idea and will likely care no longer than beyond the next item on the DVD menu..so why make any real comments or homage to him? sad but (i feel) true.

There are no matches, that I know of, involving Ole on the DVD. He is not on the cover either.

I saw the cover art which didn't really surprise or bother me as much.  BUT if there are no matches or footage of Ole featured, then I agree that is simply criminal.    

I doubt Ole cares. He should be getting a paycheck out of it, but some of the wrestlers don't get anything and I am guessing from his era there probably isn't any requirement for him to be paid. I heard a shoot interview with Jamie Dundee where he said he got an occasional small check for dvd royalties but when he told WolfieD, he had not got anything until he asked about it. Ole should get something out of it but I doubt he will.

That's just how Ole acts. When I've been around him, he let's his guard down very little but he does care about his image. Ole is very old school and he still acts the part of the heel, but at the fanfests he is always willing to talk. Teaming with Gene was obviously more important to him than being a Horseman but I believe that he is proud of his whole career as a wrestler and promoter.
 
Does anybody know if there will be a bonus third disc available with this DVD set? I know that Circuit City had a bonus Piper disc and Walmart had a bonus Hogan disc. I thought I saw an ad in the WWE magazine for a 3 disc set but their website shows a 2 disc set.

 Agree on Ole when you talk with him. He comes across all old school and totally honest. He's really a very decent guy who a lot of fans seem to give a bad rap to. I have the utmost respect for the guy and I'm glad most of us here do. I've seen him described as grumpy and mean other places and that is untrue in my experience, maybe the fans who post that are being disrespectful or something. Ole, Tully, JJ, and Arn are all class acts in my book.  
  I haven't seen where anyone has a 3 disc version, if anyone has please post it.

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.

My local Walmart had put them out but it was only a 2 disc version at $18.84.
 
K-Mart has them advertised at 14.99 I believe.
 
Still hoping for a 3-disc set somewhere.

Walmart $18.84
FYE $14.99 after mail in rebate, I got screwed on the last rebate.
K-Mart $14.99
Circuit City $14.99
 
All 2 disc version, I'm starting to think that there probably isn't a third disc.

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.

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