DVD Review: My Side of the Story: TITO/GREG
Posted: Jan 11th 2008 By: mikeiles
Description: KayfabeCommentaries.com has done it again - director Sean Oliver brought both sides of one of wrestling's most famous rivalries together to put a unique spin on the often over-done shoot interview.
While Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan hogged the spotlight and took all the credit during the 1984 World Wrestling Federation expansion, guys like WWE Hall of Famers Tito Santana and Greg Valentine were busting their asses and earning the respect of the fans through hard work and dedication to their craft. Santana and Valentine were engaged in a bitter feud over the prestigious Intercontinental championship, and they headlined events in every major city across the United States for about fifteen months straight, selling out many of those venues WITHOUT the support of WWF Champion Hulk Hogan on the card. Their heat was real, and it didn't have to be manufactured by the office. The fans went to the matches expecting an epic battle and got their money's worth every single time - and this brought the fans back month after month, no matter what city they were in. On a personal note, one of my fondest memories as a child was watching the WWF Coliseum Home Video featuring Tito Santana and Greg Valentine in their legendary steel cage match. The finish was one of the most memorable moments in WWF history, and left an indelible mark on my otherwise very impressionable psyche. It featured Tito climbing over the top of the cage and kicking the cage door into Valentine's face, preventing him from exiting the structure. Santana became Intercontinental champion that night, and that breathtaking moment became one of maybe a handful of factors that inspired me to become a life-long fan of pro-wrestling.
In this video, you will see the two individuals separated and given the same line of questioning - their answers edited together to present the full spectrum of the story they are trying to tell. It's interesting to note sometimes how different (or how similar) their answers to certain questions are. You can forget about second hand stories, this is all straight from source, from the two guys who lived it and made it such a big part of their legacies. After being grilled individually, you will witness a brief reunion of the two wrestling legends, and hopefully notice the respect each man has for the other. I find these Kayfabe Commentary interviews very fascinating - to have the opportunity to step inside the minds of these people, my heroes, is truly an honor and a thrill. I'm sure you will feel the same way after you go to www.KayfabeCommentaries.com and check out all the great content and merchandise they have available!
