5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Thump & The Big Mouth, February 10, 2009

By	D.P. (California) - See all my reviews

For those who don't already know, the "Legends Of Wrestling" program is a program on WWE 24/7 On Demand channel that's a roundtable discussion featuring Dusty Rhodes, Jim Ross, Pat Patterson, Michael Hayes, and Mike Graham speaking on various subjects. Throughout each discussion, you'll hear various personal & behind the scenes stories of each individual mentioned along with rare video highlights & pictures to showcase the point being put across. On each disc, you'll get a set of bonus matches with most of them never released on DVD before & even rare ones never seen on national television either...with Jesse Ventura's commentry not removed from the matches.

Jerry Lawler & Junkyard Dog: The panel's discussion regarding Lawler mostly revolved around his ability to remain the top star in the Memphis territory, Andy Kaufman, being able to "talk fans into the arena", and his successful transition into being a color commentator. Junkyard Dog's discussion turned out to be one of the best ones on this entire set as you hear them heavily talk about him breaking down racial barrier in not only wrestling but sports period, what made him appeal to all audiences, with the highlight being the story behind the infamous "blind JYD" angle with the Freebirds that resulted in so much heat that Michael Hayes said it himself that, "I've never felt my life more threatened than in that era."
Lawler's extras include a tag match with Jimmy Valiant vs. Michael Hayes & Kerry Von Erich from the AWA, vs. Owen Hart in '93, his "trainwreck" of a match with Roddy Piper from King Of The Ring '94, two matches with Bret Hart from the first In Your House in 1995 & the "Kiss My Foot" match from King Of The Ring the next month. JYD's bonus matches include a tag match with Sgt. Slaughter vs. Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff, his WrestleMania matches vs. Greg Valentine & Harley Race, the Wrestling Classic tournament final vs. Randy Savage, two Saturday Night's Main Event matches vs. Adrian Adonis & Harley Race.

This was one of the best disc in the collection as you had a very informative discussion along with bonus matches that were quality in their own special way (well...maybe not the Lawler/Garner match). I recommend.
