One of the WWF's (I'll stick with the classic initials, if you don't mind) better dvd collections, featuring one of the most influential territorial wrestling promotions of the 80s. Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling was a hotbed of great matches and excellent booking, creating one of the most consistently entertaining wrestling programs of the time period. The documentary portion is interspersed between classic matches, which helps to give context to the matches. There are a few faults here, though: It does not include any commentary about Mid-South's run on WTBS, after the WWF buyout of Georgia Championship Wrestling (and the infamous "Black Saturday"), it features a match or two where Jim Ross provides a more-recently recorded play-by-play, but tries to sound like contemporary commentary (despite the obvious difference between his post-Bell's Palsy voice and his time in Mid-South/UWF), and it could have added so many more great matches. If you have ever wondered why older fans lament the death of the territories, this will answer many of your questions.
