While the first disk does have some garbage matches that are skippable, the rest of the compilation is very solid. The big this DVD has going for it is that it has a lot of big time match-ups that are on Out-Of-Print Shows. There are a total of nine ****+ matches so that makes it a must buy. Plus, you've got both Barbed Wire Matches, The Cage of Death, Two Ladder Wars, and plenty of Street Fights & Cage Matches, so what's not to like?
