| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Solid, But Unspectacular DVD Release |
| If you are a 1980's wrestling fan, then you will pick up this box set as I did. There is a lot of content in this box set, especially of Piper in the WWF. However, most of that content is repetitive and does not hold up too well 25 years later. If you have seen 1 Piper's Pit, then you have pretty much seen them all, so the countless Piper's Pits on this box set get boring (especially since many of the guests are very minor wrestlers).
The match selection is fine, but the fact is that Piper was never a good in ring worker even in his prime, so there is not much to watch here (his best matches, such as Wrestlemania 8, are already on other DVD releases). Some of the stuff on this box set, such as his geriatric garbage with Hogan in WCW, is just brutally bad. The main DVD feature is a 90 minute fluff piece that tells you nothing about Piper and offers no insight or excitement. The title of this set is born to controversy, but there is nothing controversial in it, as all of Piper's controversies (refusing to lose to Hogan in the 1980's, arguing with McMahon, et cetera) are ignored. |
