On November 21, 2011, Legal Pain: Mastering the Art of Pinning received a score of 5/5.

Rated 5/5 by Anonymous
The finest pinner wrestling has ever seen is Wade Stahles, and via his films, he simplifies wrestling such that it’s simple to understand and teach. The only thing that could make it better is if Mr. Schalles were present.

5/5 from BANDSAW
This set is mine. Mr. Schalles provides comprehensive explanations of his actions as well as examples, which is why I gave it five stars. For information’s sake, the “younger Wade / elder Wade” side-by-side pattern on the cover is referred to as a “split-screen.” The DVD uses the “older” Wade’s comments and/or changes to update the “younger” Wade’s earlier VHS lessons (notice that “old” has two opposites, “new” and “young” thus “older recordings” are of a “younger Wade”). He refers to “legal pain” as the process of removing an opponent’s “desire to win” so that their top concern is “ending agony.” If these DVDs don’t merit five stars, then none of them do.
