Advantages: Entertaining

Disadvantages: Biased talk against Jim Hellwig based on McMahon's smear agenda

It should come as no surprise to those who know of the history between Vince McMahon and the Ultimate Warrior that this DVD was going to be a somewhat jaded presentation of the Warrior's past in the WWE.
In my view the Warrior is one of the top ten greatest wrestlers/entertainers in all of wrestling and it disappointed me that the DVD wasn't about Jim Hellwig's genuine contributions rather than a smear attempt.
All of the classic WWE crew gave their opinions (Mean Gene, Bobby Heenan, Sgt Slaughter, Hulk Hogan, Ted Dibiase and Vince McMahon).
I did find Heenan's criticism of the Warrior to be amusing (well is there a moment where Heenan isn't funny), as well as Heenan's story about Andre the Giant punishing the Warrior for real in the ring due to a personality conflict.
Dibiase seemed to have genuine dislike of the Hellwig, whilst the other commentators (Hulk Hogan, Jim Ross and Gene Okerlund) just seemed to bash Hellwig because they were following McMahon's orders.
If you want to be entertained in a tacky tabloid kind of way, then this DVD is for you, but if you want honest representation then I wouldn't waste my time with this DVD.
The Warrior's matches featured on the DVD are well worth viewing, however, they can be watched on other DVDs so I wouldn't recommend buying it merely for that purpose.

Summary: This DVD is not good enough for wrestling fans who don't want their intelligence to be insulted.
