When I read the editorial revues of the THE BEST OF BACKYARD WRESTLING FUTURE KINGS OF THE RING and MORE HARDCORE THAN EVER BEFORE I couldn't beleive it. then i ordered the tapes! I must say, I am impressed. I consider myself a tough critic when it comes to wild and extreme tapes...but i've just never seen anything like this. The cool thing is that the tape does so much more than just display hardcore sloppy violence. it is produced inj a way that keeps you watching through the whole tape. HIGHLY ENTERTAINING! I can't recomend anything more than these two tapes...by far the coolest thing I've ever seen. I WANT MORE!!!

I screamed while watching the agony of a wrestler whose spine snapped on camera after being bodyslammed off a four-story school building!

I am all for giving indie and amatuer wrestling talent their due, but this tape deserves no such respect. The enormous bulk of the tape is simply teen-agers throwing each other through plywood boards and hitting each other with chairs or similar objects. There are only two actual matches (both heavily cut, with unnamed characters) and an occassional interlude of an unattractive woman doing PG rated cheesecake poses. That is it. The "backyard" is certainly there, but you would think a tape with the word "wrestling" in the title would give you actual wrestling matches, right?

Actually, I probably shouldn't have such high expectations. The teenaged "stars" of this movie clearly don't know anything about what they are doing. After almost every hit you can hear loud swearing, often followed by a "man, that hurt!" You just jumped off a roof, smashed through a sheet of plywood and landed on your knees genius, what did you expect?! To be fair, some of these kids clearly have excellent athletic potential and might make good wrestlers with training. Unfortunately, the injuries they are likely to sustain from their hobby will probably end their careers before they start.

The redundant nature of this tape makes it move very slowly. Even the cruel humor of laughing at these fools wears off quickly, and you find yourself wondering where their parents are. The bottom line is, this tape has nothing to recommend it. The real future kings of the ring are receiving professional quality training in wrestling schools, not pretending in front of shaky hand held cameras.

Backyard wrestling is a one-way ticket to serious injury. If you think watching untrained teenagers maul each other in bloody mockeries of what wrestling should be, go ahead and order. But any real fan of wrestling should stay far, far away.

Die hard wrestling fans of the world, heed my words well! DO NOT BUY THESE VIDEOS! I have seen Quentin Tarantino movies with less mindless bloodshed than this, and these videos don't even try to be entertaining. The wrestling moves used are not real, the so-called Wrestlers executing the moves are not professionals but amateurish 17-year olds giving professional championship Wrestling a black eye in the process. There is no entertainment in watching these psychos almost kill each other with sloppy piledrivers or running cheese grinders over their heads. The only thing that would make this even mildly entertaining is viewing footage of the Police Officers arresting them for assault, battery, and homicide. Evidently there is some market out there that seems to find value in this stuff, or the tapes wouldn't exist. Bottom line: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! By doing so you would only end up supporting a bad product and paying the taxes for these freaks' medical bills - who are probably permanently disabled.

THESE TAPES ARE THE BEST! REALLY HARDCORE, XTREME, BRUTAL MOVES ARE DISPLAYED. I AM A BACKYARD WRESTLER MYSELF AND I DO ALOT OF XTREME STUFF BUT I WOULD NEVER DO STUFF LIKE THIS! THESE GUYS ARE SO HARDCORE IT IS AMAZING! IF U LIKE HARDCORE WRESTLING BUY ALL THE BACKYARD WRESTLING TAPES! NOW!!

personally i love hardcore the ecw the wwf with mankind flying of the top of a cell or jeff hardy flying of a twenty foot ladder into a table and bodies but this is just nuts these kids are suicidal psychos who need help because they are supposedly trying to be famous. bull---- these people should be locked away in straight jackets and never let back in society. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THESE THINGS

this video is so cool. all the hardcore action with tables, chairs, barbed-wire, trash cans, thumbtacks, and more. this the best wrestling video i ever seen.

Backyard wrestling is the most stupid, most boring thing i have ever seen. IF YOU like seeing people attempting sucide then you have one sick mind. It's people like you who think Excutions should be shown on TV. The People in these tapes know no real moves, All they do is bash lightbulbs, baseball bats and TV on other peoples heads. IF you are a real fan of wrestling, go buy a video from the WF. Those people use real moves with real skils. Fans stay away from this stuff.

I've seen it all..WWF, WCW, ECW, XPW, the Japanese death matches, ...and none of it can compare to the down and dirty action found on the Best Of Backyard Wrestling Video tapes. It doesn't surpise me that these videos are the most popular selling thing on Amazon.com...I have waited for a long time for something like this. THANK YOU! Please make more because I just can't get enough. Fav scenes include: The runaway car with two guys wrestling on top of it, the flaming fire matches, human torch figfhts, the Leap of faith...HOLY CRAP!!! BYW, RULES!!!!
