Wade schalles is the best pinner wrestling has seen and with his videos he breaks wrestling and moves to where it’s easy to learn and teach. Only way could be better is if Mr. Schalles was with you in person.

I own this set. I give it 5 stars because Mr. Schalles gives clear demonstrations as well as the reasons for his moves. As information, the “split-screen” motif on the cover is the “younger Wade / older Wade” side-by-side. The DVD borrows from the “young” Wade’s older VHS lessons & updates them with the “older”(note “old” has two opposites, “new” and “young” so “older videos” are of a “younger Wade”) Wade’s notes and/or updates. As for “legal pain”, it’s his term for taking away an opponent’s “will to win”, as their priority becomes “ending discomfort”. If this DVD set doesn’t deserve 5 stars, none of them do.
