Rating:  - An incredible story and dvd
WWE does it once again. A great re-living of the best group of wrestlers ever assembled. I was fortunate enough to start watching wrestling again the very week Arn Anderson originally came to Georgia so I lived the whole thing.
I wish Ole would have participated in the commentary but understand that past events and health problems prevented that from happening. I also would have included more matches with a third disc, especially featuring the original four. The one match above all others I wanted to see and was disappointed by its lack of inclusion is the Ole/Arn Anderson vs. Rock and Roll Express match where they originally "broke" Ricky Morton's nose. That match above all others showed just how sadistic Ole and Arn could be in the ring together and show what a great tag team match is all about.
Everything else is all I could ever want or hope for.
Rating: - 'Ric Flair & The Four Horsemen' is a limousine-riding, jet-flying good time
The Horsemen were THE original wrestling mafia gang. They didn't play characters. Every night was a private jet to the next city, a limousine ride to the arena, and a limousine back to the hotel for a party with all of the ladies from 18 to 28. They took wrestling thuggery to a new level with their brutal attacks on wrestlers that tried to take the Nature Boy's title. Fans were actually calling for the arrest of the Horsemen for their brutal televised assault on Dusty Rhodes at a gas station. The Horsemen used a baseball bat to break Dusty's hand.
The Four Horsemen are still wildly popular with wrestling fans today. Recent seasons of CBS's hit Reality TV show Survivor have featured contestants flashing the four-finger salute and calling themselves Horsemen. The Horsemen paved the way for the NWO, Degeneration X, and Evolution. With the dollar falling in value, Ric Flair & The Four Horsemen delivers a huge entertainment bang for your buck.

Rating:  - Comprehensive Account
Some straight to DVD documentaries leave you wanting more. This one, if anything, is too long. I ended up fast-forwarding through parts where it was obvious they would have a bunch of interviewees saying basically the same thing. It could have used tighter editing.
As for the Horsemen, it's clear from this account that they should have retired this gimmick well before they were down to 2 original members. They kept reforming, with one short-lived arrangement after the other -- some so bad they were laughable.
When Arn Anderson was shown in his mid 20s, he looked about 40. When he retired at 40, he looked 40. In his interviews for this DVD, he still looks pretty much the same as he always has.
Unfortunately, Ric Flair is barely recognizable from the man he was just 10 years ago. I grew up watching him in his heyday and as a sincere and true fan of his, I wish he would have retired after the final match on WCW he had vs. Sting. He's been mainly a sideshow on WWE, although a year ago he had an incredible (and dangerous) table,ladder,chair match vs. Edge and got the hell beat out of him. I don't know how he does it, I have all the respect for him in the world, but the Ric Flair I remember wasn't the "good guy", didn't show up to matches as an underdog old man to make you feel sorry for him. He was "the man", the dirtiest player in the game, the World Champion -- but in order to extend his career past 50 he's had to assume the role of someone else entirely. ... Read More

RIC FLAIR AND THE FOUR HORSEMEN
actual documentary is a little over 2 hours
Wow! Or should I say... Wooo! Like many others, I am a big fan of the Horsemen and have been for some time. Due to the fact that the WWE had nothing to do with the legendary stable, I was almost certain that they would mess this DVD up, but to my surprise they delivered a quality product! And yes I believe its still true: The Four Horsemen are the greatest wrestling stable of all time!
The DVD starts off in the pre-Horsemen days, with Gene Anderson and Ole Anderson wrestling together as sibling tag team (the team actually predated Ole but maybe that's another DVD...). Ole was joined by Arn Anderson, who was noticing the potential in a young man who we now know as Ric Flair. Along with their "sparkplug" Tully Blanchard, the group joined to become the Four Horsemen and were managed by J.J. Dillon. The group would famously isolate a certain body part (i.e.- leg, hand, whatever) and "work on it" to wear it down. They were also known as much for their flamboyant lifestyles outside the ring as they were for their wrestling skills. This led to a great combination of exciting interviews and classic arcs in the history of the NWA/WCW where each member held a belt (Ric- World champ, Arn and Tully- Tag champs, 2nd generation member Barry Windham- US champ) amounting to one of the greatest forces in the wrestling industry.
In the way of history, this DVD has most of what you need to know. ... Read More
