This weekend Ring of Honor has a 40% off online sale (you need to type "spring" into the discount box) with no minimum purchase required.
In addition to a PWG DVD that ROH is selling online at 40%, I used this sale over at www.rohwrestling.com to get this DVD at 40% off (I paid $6 for it instead of the normal $10
) of a recent shoot with LOW's One Man Gang.
These are the topics dsicussed in the shoot:
Straight Shootin' With The One Man Gang sees this interesting individual open up and discuss his entire career for the first time anywhere!!! One Man Gang has been everywhere and wrestled all the most famous names and he holds nothing back in talking about it all. From legendary territories like Mid-South and World Class to WWF in its heyday in the 80s to WCW in the 90s, Gang tells all the stories about his biggest matches and the top stars.
Gang is an open book as he takes you on a journey from his start working outlaw shows in Tennessee with Randy Savage all the way through his infamous stay in WCW as part of the Dungeon of Doom. Of course, you'll hear about life as Akeem in WWF. What did he think of the Akeem gimmick? Did he ever enjoy wrestling as Akeem? Why did Vince McMahon want him to be the Akeem character and why did he agree?
From working the Superdome in Mid-South to being UWF Champion to teaming with Big Bossman as the Twin Towers and feuding with Hulk Hogan to ECW, One Man Gang holds nothing back in telling all the in ring and behind the scenes stories!!!
All the legendary names are discussed in this Straight Shoot from Junkyard Dog to Andre The Giant to the Von Erichs to Bruiser Brody to Paul Heyman. This is wrestling history as experienced by The One Man Gang.
How much money did he make in ECW and why wasn't he featured more? Why did he leave UWF and drop the UWF title suddenly? What are his true feelings about Eric Bischoff?
