Some good but far too much that was bad.
April 12, 2008Jesse (Perth, Western Australia)
I love lucha libre, I love wrestling and I love a majority of the wrestlers on this show yet overall I have to say I was not particularly impressed.
While there were some very fun moments on this disc such as Joey Ryan and Karl Anderson's awesome heel antics and some great workers such as Hijo Del Santo and Colt Cabana, there were also some real let downs on this show.
One of the most disappointing things I found about this DVD is that it clearly did not deliver what it promised. It listed L.A. Park as being one of the wrestlers on the show, but instead Super Parka (his similarly attired but decrepid and less entertaining uncle) was the man in the skeleton suit. Surely NWA Pro knows who they are paying to work their shows, so why not be honest with the fans? Dishonesty is not good business and as much as I want to support NWA Pro this type of thing really put me off wanting to buy any more of their merchandise.
Apart from this there were several other lowlights, such as a visibly injured Konnan limping out to the ring and stinking up the joint. Before the match even started Konnan could not walk and was clearly in no condition to wrestle yet was given far more to do in his tag match than he was capable of. The other three men worked their butts off, but it's hard to get a good match out of a cripple.
Even the Colt Cabana match was bad, since he was put in the ring with a selection of some of the world's least exciting roid-monsters. Colt did what he could but I don't think anyone could have made this a good match.
For me the overall theme of this show was wasted chances. With the group of workers on the show this could have been so much more, but by teaming up the good workers with the bad the overall quality of the show was quite average.
However one thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere of the show. It felt bigger than an indy and had a good crowd in which really helped. Children in lucha masks, a large Hispanic crowd who ate up the racist heel stylings of Anderson and Ryan, the overall feeling of this show was real wrestling. Not the overly polished, sexually explicit, catch-phrase laden and playboy model infused WWE sports entertainment but fun, good old fashioned grappling.
If NWA Pro are able to start telling their fans the truth, and focusing a little more on match quality then I will be very excited to see future shows. If not, then NWA Pro will be just another short lived promotion that nobody will remember in two years time.
Professional Wrestling The Way It Ought To Be

All the props in the world must go to the National Wrestling Alliance. After struggling for years to find an indentity in a landscape where independent promoters matter very little, the revamped NWA has found a new path through a great, old-school concept; a product that is truly Professional Wrestling.
Such a one-night, tag-team tournaments are popular in promotions outside of North America and the featured talent/styles in this event - which took place in Las Vegas - are from the U.S., Mexico, Japan and Canada, with special emphasis on the legendary Lucha Libre mat science.
El Hijo Del Santo, Rey Misterio, Sr., Konnan, Sean Waltman and Black Tiger are the featured performers in an evening of pure entertainment, with the teams aiming for the first Copa de Lucha championship. This DVD is outstanding from the first bell to the final match, when the champs - and fans - have their hands raised in victory.
Fun lucha and American action...
December 28, 2007Bowie V. Ibarra (Kyle, in the great republic of Texas)
Fun lucha and American style pro-wrestling video in general. I found it for a very low price new at a local grocery store. When El Hijo del Santo is featured, you have to get it if you are a true lucha fan.
The matches were very entertaining, and to watch the perpetual rivalry between LA Park and Santo, Jr. is worth every penny.
Recommended for true Mexican lucha fans and serious wrestling marks.
