Released in 2010, Ricky Steamboat: The Life Story Of The Dragon focuses on the career of (Yes!) Ricky Steamboat, one of the greatest pure wrestlers of all-time. Here, we get a 70-minute documentary on Steamboat's career along with a selection of on-screen segments and bonus extracts from the main feature, complete with a dozen of The Dragon's matches. How does this fare amongst similar releases on WWE legends? Let's see ...
As is generally the case with WWE releases, the first part of the DVD is based around a sit-down interview with its main subject, combined with comments from various wrestling personalities and clips of his most memorable moments. Along the way, we learn about Ricky's amateur wrestling adventures, his entry into professional wrestling and his training at Verne Gagne's AWA camp, how he got the Steamboat name and his original clashes with Ric Flair. We see Steamboat's career progress, most notably through NWA United States and Tag Team Title wins (the latter alongside Jay Youngblood), before his arrival in the WWF and, of course, we then go in-depth on his classic WrestleMania III showdown with Macho Man Randy Savage for the Intercontinental Title.
