Summary: WOOO! This is the one, baby!
Comment: This is the one. This set is worth the money for one match alone- the infamous showdown with Sting. The rest is all frosting (pink frosting at that) on the proverbial cake. It also covers Ric's struggle to break into wrestling, his influences, and quite a few hilarious interviews. Also shows highlights from the big WWE tribute.
Highly recommended to wrestling fans in general.

Summary: A GOOD DVD, THE ULTIMATE RIC FLAIR COLLECTION IS BETTER
Comment: This DVD's documnetary is good. However, most of the main topics in the documentary were already included in the Ultimate Flair and Horsemen DVDs. It was interesting to listen to Flair's opinions of Ole Anderson, Hogan, Hall, Nash, and Bischoff. The matches from the 1980's were good to include. However, WWE should have also includeed Flair vs. Vader(Clash Nov.'93 and Starrcade '93). Those two matches were extremely well worked. Steamboat vs. Flair from Spring Stampede'94 was a decent choice, but they may have been better off including his world title win against Savage from Sept.'92 instead. Furthermore, they could have included Flair and Arn Anderson vs. Hollywood Blondes from the Clash of Champs(June'93). Flair vs. Hogan from Uncensored'99 and a Nitro from Jan.or Feb.96 would have also been intersting. Flair's retirement match was awesome, but the match is too recent to include in this collection compared to other classics "Naitch" has had in the '80s and '90s. It would have been better to include HBK from his Rocker days vs.Flair from late '91.
Overall, this DVD was good. However, this DVD should have been great. After all, Flair only deserves the best. This DVD has great promos. The Space Mountainettes promo is awesome. Flair's promos truly made him unique. "Lookin' only as I can look. What's causin' all of this? Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair/Four Horsemen."

Summary: The REAL Ultimate Ric Flair Collection!
Comment: Its mainly commentary from HHH and HBK (go figure) pretty much talking about Flair's entire career, which is fine, but what really bugs me is there are very few interviews or less interview time with alot of the old timers in the business who wrestled Flair back in his glory days. Arn Anderson must have had 5 minutes of interview time THE ENTIRE DVD and he was Flair's best friend for so many years. Harley Race had a few minutes,Dusty had 2-3 mins, Tully had 2-3 mins, Terry Funk had NONE, Steamboat had a few minutes. JJ Dillon very few minutes etc.
Anyway, the earlier parts of Ric's career are talked about as they even show a clip of him winning his FIRST NWA World Title. Orton and Batista make brief appearances late in the DVD when Flair talks about Evolution. Ric's first WWE run in the early 90s was barely touched on and no reason was given to even why he left. Also, no reason given as to why they didn't book Flair Vs. Hogan at Wrestlemania 8. Alot of Flair's early career is covered though. I didn't know he was adopted. Talked about how he trained with Ken Patera and how they both started in AWA with Vern Gagne. They briefly skimmed the Four Horsemen era, but that's because of the Four Horsemen DVD. Really the only part of Flair's career that is really touched on in depth is his early career in the early 70s to 80s. Also, the plane crash Flair was in with a couple of other wrestler including Johhny Valentine (Greg's father.) Most of Flair's late career was just glossed over very quickly (even his late wcw days) which was very disappointing. All in all it was a good DVD, but it could have been better IMO. I enjoyed Jake Robert's, ECW, Pillman's, Piper's, Hart's DVDs much more.
P.S.: I'm just glad Sting Vs. Flair from Clash of The Champions was finally released on DVD, its a timeless classic. Also, Michaels Vs. Flair from Wrestlemania 24 is a MUST watch! There have been very few 5 star matches in wrestling history and this is one of them!

Summary: The best Ever !
Comment:
Ric Flair is the greatest wrestler of all-time, no doubts about that. The DVD is great, even if i wanted to see a 5 disc set, you know a big boxset like they did with the Wrestlemania volumes 1 to 4, the Royal Rumble vol. 1-4, but this 3 disc set is still very good. Here's my favorite matches on the DVD:
- VS Sting
- VS Harley Race
- VS Jack Brisco
- VS Dusty, Manny and Magnum
The Tribute on Raw is priceless, in my opinion one of the most incredible moment in the history of pro wrestling. the promos are all great, only one of them was on the Ultimate Ric Flair collection, as a easter egg (The one where Ric said to David Crockett that he is a sucker).So it's a great set and buy it !!!
by the way who cares if the WWE will never release the match between Flair and Luger or Flair against Koloff???? that is going to change your life or what!!!??? it's a great set, ok?? i have nothing else to say.
I'm 20 years old, i have over 60 Ric Flair matches on DVD and i think it's enough. The matches against Vader, Luger or Koloff will be on the Starrcade dvd in november. buy it!!!
