The actual footage from nWo's heyday provides some exciting moments. If you really want to find out about the stable, those are the places you need to look. Monday Night Wars, The Rise and Fall of WCW, and the Legends of Wrestling Roundtable - the latter is actually included in the Blue-Ray extras - do a far better job at dissecting what the nWo was all about. There is nothing new here that hasn't been seen before in plenty of other places. Perhaps worst of all, it is just plain boring. The documentary is slow, repetitive, and unoriginal. That being said, the only logical reason as to why this was made is that it's a blatant cash grab from nWo marks. In that sense, it is understandable why this documentary felt something of a rehash. It is tough to keep going back to the well to pull out fresh material. The New World Order (nWo) has been analyzed, criticized, and eulogized to death over the years. With nWo: The Revolution, it seems there was no effort at all. As I wrote yesterday, in the review of Attitude Era, the effort has slipped a little bit. There is a certain expectation when purchasing one, that WWE has put a lot of time, effort, and care into the product. As most fans already know, WWE usually has a great track record of DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
