Biography: WWE Legends

In each of the eight bio-docs, we explore a particular Wrestling superstar. Because these are written and funded by the WWE, they have interview with everyone involved at every level. This includes all the wrestlers and staff (included AEW and TNA) and celebrities like Mr. T. Vince McMahon is also interviewed. They have footage from all there matches in almost every promotion to use and this makes for a very colourful and varied story from lots of angles. Add to that the high production values, HD quality cameras and sound. Its just fun to watch.

However the flip side is that WWE can do no wrong. Certain controversial topics may be discussed; but its entirely the performers fault and WWE accept no blame. Even when we know from watching other docs like Dark Side of the Ring they had a hand in it, here they only say "nice thing" (quoting Vince McMahon from the episode about Rowdy Piper) outright admitting he was refusing to talk about the uglier stuff.

Having said that, the stories they give from the individual performers are fantastic. The journeys were well-picked for having substance to them making great documentaries.

Hopefully they will explore others that haven't had the spotlight yet in series 2 that I think have rather interesting stories to tell like: MVP, Lita, Kevin Nash, Scotty 2 Hotty, Shane Helms. Kane, Jake the Snake, Big Boss Man. Davey Boy Smith.

Phenomenal biography/documentary on the stars/legends of wrestling. A must watch... You won't be disappointed.

Being a kid growing up in the golden years of the 80's I loved "WWF" Wrestling as it began it's exposure on cable TV with many shows. Many of my favorites were Rowdy Roddy, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, and Bret Hart. As I loved their ways good or bad as the matches they did made memories, as with this A&E series "Biography: WWE Legends" it shows vintage footage interviews and match clips that I enjoyed from the good old days! The series in 8 parts with 2 hour docs, is a feast a joy for any old "WWF" Wrestling fan. The episodes also give personal info on each grappler showing each's humble starts from home to bodybuilding, to breaking in the regional circuits, interviews are given with friends and stars like Hulk Hogan, Brother Love, and owner and company CEO Mr. Vince. Also revealing and heartbreaking is the tragic downfall and early passing of many wrestling superstars, among my favorites of this series were Randy Savage, Rowdy Roddy, Ultimate Warrior and Brett Hart. Overall a must watch for any wrestling fan and pop culture "WWF" historian buff.

Every wrestling fan, young and especially old, will love this series. It Offers all the nostalgia and insight into the sacrifices made by wrestlers we loved watching and provides some background information we weren't privy to until now. Great contributions from family, friends and fellow pros. Lots of unseen footage adds to the stories. A must watch for wrestling fans from any era or even if you were never into wrestling too because at the heart of these documentaries lies a unique human story anyone can relate to. Heel or baby face it doesn't matter, you will get the good the bad and the ugly!

These A & E things are garbage. They trash people who are dead and who can't speak for themselves. They get biter exes and people who have nothing to do with them to trash the guys for ratings. Do not buy this! Terrible, and A & E should be stopped.
