Kayfabe Commentaries’ latest DVD release could very well be its greatest to date. A unique concept created on the cusp of a historic Presidential Election in the United States. “The Great Debate ‘08″ features a lively discussion between living legends Bruno Sammartino (representing the WWWF) and Harley Race (representing the NWA). Together they “debate” the inner workings of the wrestling business from the era that they know best.

Mr. Sammartino and Mr. Race are far too polite to engage in any dirty mud-slinging, and spent much of the time agreeing with one another and praising each other’s work ethic. Neither man sacrificed their integrity to name names or insult another person’s character. Race was very soft spoken and to the point, while Sammartino would go the extra mile to give his solid opinion on any topic thrown at him. KC director Sean Oliver tossed a few softball questions, but managed to sneak in a few controversial ones as well. “What’s the worst thing to happen to professional wrestling?”

Personally I am in awe of Bruno Sammartino. The man is a true living legend, living a life of near perfect health and prosperity at the age of 73 - an anomaly for a pro-wrestling legend. He is humble and generous, a grandfatherly type. Race, on the other hand, is a little rough around the edges. Both men love kayfabe and share distaste for the current wrestling scene, although Race obviously tolerates it for financial reasons.

This is a definite MUST SEE for any fan of kayfabe wrestling. You will find yourself hypnotized by the words of wisdom straight from the mouths of legends. Check this and many other incredible Kayfabe Commentary DVD releases at www.kayfabecommentaries.com
