Summary:

WWE Home Video's two-disc The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling is such a treat for fans of "old timey" rasslin'. How modern wrestling looks today, elaborately produced for TV and beamed across the world for international audiences, really started with the WCCW tradition created out of whole cloth by legendary Texas wrestler Fritz Von Erich (real name: Jack Adkisson). The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling looks at the legacy (and the cruel, almost Roman farce tragedies) of the Von Erich wrestling family, and, to a lesser extent, the rise and fall of the WCCW as the precursor to the later media behemoths WWF and WCW.

There are a lot of elements that work well in The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling. Soft-spoken Kevin Von Erich anchors the film, and his frequent comments are fair and admirably modest. Extensive use of archival WCCW footage and interviews, and new interviews with Skandor Akbar, Dory Funk, Jr., Dusty Rhodes, Bill Mercer, Gary Hart, Gerald Brisco, Ric Flair, Jim Ross, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Jimmy Garvin, Michael Hayes, Buddy Roberts, Verne Gagne, Bill Irwin, Mick Foley, and Triple H among others, provide balanced commentary and informative background on the WCCW story. As well, an extensive second disc worth of bonuses (detailed below) featuring legendary bouts with the WCCW stars, makes The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling a must-have for fans of the sport.

There are extensive extras included on the two-disc set, The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling. On disc one, there are several filmed features that accompanied the syndicated wrestling matches shown on the WCCW. Tea with Gentleman Chris Adams, from January, 1983, runs 3:07.
