Reviewed By Jason LockardI remember the wrestling boom of the '90s. Whether it was World Wrestling Federation, World Championship Wrestling or Extreme Championship Wrestling, It seemed everyone was watching!
Then after the Monday Night Wars it seemed people's desire for wrestling died with the death of WCW and ECW. That is until now! We are entering a mini wrestling boom. And JADAT Sports is releasing 5 volumes of The Best of Continental Wrestling. We reviewed Volume 1 here. But now it's time to look at what is included in Volume 2 of The Best of Continental Wrestling.

This Volume is over 20 minutes longer from Volume 1. Very cool! And we get to hear the iconic voice of wrestling in the 80s Gordon Solie. On this over 2 hour DVD, as was with Volume 1. Some of these matches are started already in progress or are just footage added into the interview segments, which is a bit of a bummer.
But in these Volumes, Jadat Sports tries to piece together matches that follow a storyline. Which as we all know is what wrestling is about telling a story!
Now the audio and video of each match and segment vary. Some are more clear than others, but I would call none of them unwatchable. The Interview with Ron Fuller is part 2 of 5 which will be spread out over the 5 volumes. Which will make this a must add to any wrestling fan's collection.
So if your a classic wrestling fan, or want to witness some of the greats of yesteryear. The best of Continental Wrestling Volume 1 & 2 is a good place to start!
