But at least these 3 pilot episodes will be forever inmortalised on DVD. br / br / br / Interesting Look At What Might Have Been.... March 21, 2008 WCW Fan (Wales) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful The XWF was set up in 2001, shortly after World Championship Wrestling went out of business. The purpose of the XWF was to fill the void that WCW had left and to give fans an alternative to WWE (or at the time, the WWF). br / br /The XWF (ran by Jimmy Hart, Hulk Hogan, Greg Valentine Brian Knobs) certainly had the star power and the potential to succeed, but sadly the end product never made it to our screens. br / br /Here on this DVD, we can finally get to see the "Lost Episodes" of the XWF. br / br /It's hosted by Hart Knobs (which is a detrament to the overall production, really) and features many former WWE/WCW/ECW names that all fans will be familiar with, as well as some that you may not have heard of (and in some cases, probably won't again). br / br /Mean Gene is the interviewer, former WCW talent Tony Schiavone is on commentary (with Jerry "The King" Lawler, during Lawler's exodus from the WWF), Rena "Sable" Mero is the XWF CEO and Roddy Piper is the Commissioner. br / br /The motto of the XWF is (or was) "No Prima Donnas", but there's no shortage of big-headed muscle-heads like Buff Bagwell and washed-up acts like The Nasty Boys. br / br /That said, there is some great action on display from the younger generation (Vampiro, AJ Styles, Kid Kash etc) and it is a guilty pleasure to see Hulk Hogan in the ring again (although it's only once and as an DVD extra. The fact the Hogan is plastered all over the DVD cover should amount to false advertising). br / br /While it has its flaws, this DVD still shows that the XWF (which offered a more family-friendly approach to wrestling) could have made it had everyone involved (especially Hogan, who talks about a lack of finances and the like as being the main reason that the XWF didn't make it, even though he was eyeing up a WWF return all along) stayed focused on the company and marketed it more (I don't believe for a minute that no TV company in America or the world didn't want to commit to this after they'd already started filming it). br / br /Even if you like your're wrestling a bit more "grown up" and action-packed, you should still check this out. It's a great piece of wrestling history that should be viewed by "old school" and "new school" fans alike.
