Pro Wrestling Torch and Big Vision Entertainment have teamed up to present the first "Ultimate Insiders" DVD set. This three DVD set is exclusively available right now to PWTorch.com readers for just $19.95 (plus shipping and handling).

This 3 DVD set includes a volume dedicated to the WWF, a volume dedicated to WCW, and a volume dedicated to a random assortment of topics.

Ultimate Insider DVD - Vol. 2 of 3 - Inside WCW

In January, Torch editor Wade Keller sat down with Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara, the top two writers/bookers during the WWF's most successful boom period and discussed for nearly four hours in unprecedented depth one behind-the-scenes aspect of the WWF and WCW after another. (VIP members can listen right now to an exclusive ten minute excerpt of the DVD interview - including Keller confronting Russo about the David Arquette WCW Title win - by clicking here. I also introduce the clip with additional details on what went into the making of the DVD.)

Russo and Ferrara, once close friends, had that bond broken from the stress of working together in the WWF and WCW. For the first time, after years of barely speaking to each other, they are back together to reminisce and put in perspective the whirlwind period they were part of in the late-'90s.

With no involvement in the wrestling industry anymore, they reveal: Details never heard before about how the WWF operates... What many of the WWF's top stars were like to work with including Triple H, Steve Austin, and The Rock... What it was like to work side-by-side with Vince McMahon around his dining room table every week during the highs and lows of Raw's battle with Nitro.. What it was like to be part of the Bret Hart Survivor Series Swerve... In-depth thoughts on their involvement the night Owen Hart died... Specifically why they each left the WWF and joined WCW and whether they regret the move... What the WCW environment was like compared to the WWF... What WCW's top stars were like compared to the WWF's top stars... And much, much more...

There were no restrictions on what could be asked. There was no topic too taboo to bring up. Russo is confronted head-on with his decision to put the WCW Title around David Arquette's waist... and later his own. Why did he do it? Does he stand by either or both decisions? Does Ed Ferrara regret following Russo to WCW? Does he regret not taking a stand alongside Russo when Russo found himself odd-man-out in WCW? How much of Raw did they really write? How involved was Vince McMahon? How did Steve Austin deal with his rise to the top differently from The Rock? Or compared to Triple H? What did they have planned for WCW storylines that never happened?

And ultimately, how do they look back at the wrestling industry now that they're out of the "wrestling bubble" and have some perspective on one of the most fascinating roller coaster rides anyone's ever taken behind the scenes in pro wrestling. The dynamic between Russo and Ferrara, together for the first time ever since leaving the wrestling industry, brings out new stories, at times sharply different perspectives, and vivid details about the biggest stories and personalities they experienced and influenced first-hand during the Monday Night War era - a time period that will never be forgotten by wrestling fans or those who were part of it behind the scenes. And now, thanks to this DVD set, a time period documented like never before.

Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara backstage watching the match they booked play out in the ring.

No punches pulled. No promotional affiliation to cloud judgment or soften opinions. No incentive to hold anything back. Would they do it again? Why or why not? Do they forgive each other for past perceived transgressions? Who did they most enjoy working with? Who the least? What angles did they like best? What storylines do they wish they could take back?

This unique DVD set also includes unprecedented backstage footage from a January 2005 SCCW indy show in Los Angeles where Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara were guest bookers for the night, working closely with the wrestlers backstage (with camera and microphones eavesdropping on their every word), showing exactly what process goes into planning a match. Then watch the match - and watch the reactions of Russo and Ferrara from backstage as the young wrestlers attempt to pull off what was planned. Then listen in as they critique the wrestlers' performances afterward. (There are also three bonus matches included as extras from the indy show.)
