Windham could have been one of the greats, even though that insane vid would prove otherwise.  :P He was popular as a babyface, and just killed as a heel. Almost like Flair in the sense that he could rile up a crowd no matter who he was facing. His heel turn on Luger is classic and literally a highlight of 80s wrestling. It just came out of nowhere. If anything, a Luger heel turn was expected.

As far as DVDs of old wrestling goes, I have always wanted McMahon to release a box set of just some of those old NWA Saturday Night TBS shows. Maybe like a 10 disc set encompassing the whole era. Downside to this is very few main event matches, but you would see killer promos and even without a bunch of starrcade like matches, would see what that whole era was all about. This would not sell like hotcakes obviously, but there's gotta be a niche market for this out there. Old school fans scope out youtube for this **** all the time.

McMahon also needs to pay tribute to Magnum T.A. at some point.  Never wrestled in WWF, but the guy had massive potential and he's the biggest "What If?" story in wrestling. It would be like Sting or Triple H being cut down just as their career is about to explode.

Very tragic story.
