== Legends of Wrestling == ''Legends of Wrestling'' is an original series made specifically for the Classics service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_11_13a.jsp |title="Legends of Wrestling" Program Debuts on WWE 24/7 On Demand |access-date=2007-11-21 |publisher=WWE Corporate |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070107161337/http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_11_13a.jsp |archive-date=January 7, 2007 }}</ref> The program features various "legends" of the business, for their work in and out of the ring, having a roundtable discussion about specific topics, persons, or occurrences in the history of wrestling. The show was originally hosted by WWE [[Play-by-play|commentator]] [[Jim Ross]]–with former interviewer [[Gene Okerlund]] filling in for him on a few occasions<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jrsbarbq.com/2008/03/15/jrs-qa-9/ |title=March 15, 2008 |access-date=2008-03-19 |publisher=JR's Bar B Q |work=J.R.'s Q & A |first=Jim |last=Ross |author-link=Jim Ross |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080319181041/http://www.jrsbarbq.com/2008/03/15/jrs-qa-9/ |archive-date=March 19, 2008 }}</ref>–until Okerlund took over hosting duties completely with the shows fourth panel. The series was divided into unofficial "seasons" of hour-long episodes (each with a short intermission) featuring the same panels. In January 2009, a DVD box set of three episodes: [[Sgt. Slaughter]]/Ric Flair, [[Jerry Lawler]]/the [[Junkyard Dog]], and "Heatseekers"—about wrestlers who have a reputation of "causing trouble" backstage—along with bonus matches involving the stars. [[Best Buy]] exclusives episodes [[Bob Backlund]]/[[Hulk Hogan]], [[The Iron Sheik]]/[[André the Giant]], and [[Roddy Piper|"Rowdy" Roddy Piper]]/[[Terry Funk]] were also released. The episodes come from the first season, with the exception of "Heatseekers", which is a second-season episode.
