Loss Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 According to PWInsider, there's a Best of Starrcade double disc set coming out the first week of December. Woohoo. Anyway, assuming you have about five hours to work with, what matches would you include on the set? Hopefully they'll shy away from putting Flair/Race on a *third* WWE DVD release, but we'll see, and I could understand how it could have a place on this set.

Tim Cooke Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Awesome. I am going to go with picks that have already been released commercially interspersed with matches I would like to see. 1984 - Ricky Steamboat vs. Tully Blanchard 1985 - Magnum TA vs. Tully Blanchard 1988 - Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger 1990 - Doom vs. Windham/Anderson 1992 - Steamboat/Douglas vs. Windham/Pillman Christ, they really need to do a Best of Great American Bash/Beach Blast/Bash at the Beach. And then a Misc one with Wrestle War, Clash matches, Capital Combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cawthon777 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 83 - Briscos vs. Steamboat & Youngblood 84 - Steamboat vs. Blanchard 85 - Magnum vs. Blanchard 86 - RnR vs. Andersons (cage) 87 - Luger vs. Dusty (cage), Roadies vs. Anderson & Blanchard 88 - Flair vs. Luger 92 - Sting vs. Vader, Steamboat & Douglas vs. Windham & Pillman 93 - Flair vs. Vader 96 - Liger vs. Mysterio OR Malenko vs. Ultimo (forget which was better) 97 - Sting vs. Hogan 98 - Goldberg vs. Nash (this could be vital in explaining why WCW went under) 99 - Benoit vs. Jarrett (ladder) This release sounds somewhat like the 1988 Best of 2-tape set hosted by Mangum TA. I hope it is considering that's somewhat hard to find and all the matches are complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Isn't the 86 RnR-Andersons match on the Bloodbath DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I hope it's not a re-release. WWE 2005 production values and NWA 1988 production values are in different universes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hopefully they'll shy away from putting Flair/Race on a *third* WWE DVD release, but we'll see, and I could understand how it could have a place on this set. Just to let you know, since I probably own more WWE DVDs than anyone else here (at least the recent ones), the Flair/Race match has only been on one release. The noting of it on the Best of the 80s DVD was a false advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Famous Mortimer Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Sting - Vader would be a lock in the real world, but maybe their lack of an agreement with Sting might make them think of other matches. I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Sting - Vader would be a lock in the real world, but maybe their lack of an agreement with Sting might make them think of other matches. I hope not. They own the footage, so who cares if Sting likes it or not? They've included stuff with Bruno on DVDs already and I'm sure they didn't have an agreement with him.

Marty Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 My choices: 1. Flair-Race steel cage match from Starrcade 1983 (On the Flair set and the Steel Cage Matches DVDs, I think) ... 4. Magnum TA vs. Tully Blanchard in an I Quit steel cage match from Starrcade 1985 ... Flair-Race is only on the Flair DVD. Magnum-Tully, however, is on the Steel Cage DVD.
