sek69 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 WWE.com posted a list: Austin vs. McMahon: The Definitive Collection Brian Pillman: Loose Cannon Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA John Cena: The Time is Now I'm not interested in the Austin/McMahon stuff or the Cena stuff, but everything else is a must.
Guest WidowsPeak Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 They are going to release a Brian Pillman DVD? That's awesome. I hope it includes his SuperBrawl match with Jushin Liger or even the Canadian Stampede 10 man tag, but I am dreaming right now.
The Thread Killer Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I wouldn't mind a couple of the matches with The Hollywood Blondes vs. Steamboat & Douglas from WCW. I wonder if they're going to have Stampede footage as well?
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I've said it before, but it bears repeating: no matter how bad the product is, WWE delivers on the home video front.
Loss Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Pillman? That's surprising. What happened to Flair Volume 2 I wonder?
sek69 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 As clueless as they are with the current product, they seem to know exactly what the fans want from their DVD releases. Maybe they should let the Home Video department book for a while.
Marty Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Why, why, WHY does John Cena get a second DVD two years after the first??? This is almost re-defining "hard sell" of the guy. Other than that, very nice potential list. Still would love a Slaughter or Lawler DVD, but can't complain overall.
Guest Dangerous A Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Looks like WWE is putting that huge tape library to good use.
Marty Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Pillman? That's surprising. What happened to Flair Volume 2 I wonder? I never ever heard any news of a second Flair set. Where did you?
Loss Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Meltzer said it a couple of months ago. I believe there was even a thread about it here.
Strummer Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Two more via wwe.com *The World's Greatest Wrestling Managers *The American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story (2-disc) It's going to be great watching Meltzer's head explode after reviewing hours worth of Dusty Rhodes matches.
goodhelmet Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I would have to get the Dusty set just to see the original Wargames on DVD. PLus, he really does have a fascinating story. For the 2nd Flair set, I can see them planning for a Christmas release to capitalize on holiday sales since the first one did so well. I think a Roddy Piper set would only be worth it if it includes Portland footage. You can almost guarantee the dog collar amtch will be on there but that is already out on DVD. I am really shocked they would do a Pillman disc before an Owen disc set. I think it would be the 2nd time that Bret would work with Vince to insure that OWen's memory wasn't messed with either.

I want to see at least 3 Grand Wizard promos. That man rocked the mic hard. Like the Flair DVD, there had better be a to of Dusty promos because the matches aren't going to be very good except War Games or anything from before '82.
sek69 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 I'm all over the Dusty Rhodes DVD. It would be funny if they included a random WCW Saturday Night squash match just to capture the magic of his commentary.
Guest Local Jobber R Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 They could always show clips of the Benoit/Sullivan match that had classic Dusty-isms of "They be Clubbin'" and "There's a lady in the men's room!".
sek69 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 I will be upset if there's no mention of the PAY WINDA, DADDY.
Guest teke184 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Meltzer said it a couple of months ago. I believe there was even a thread about it here. It may have been pushed back after Flair ended up on the news for beating up a guy's car (which he jobbed to afterwards, BTW...).
Guest WidowsPeak Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Even more additions have been made to the list of DVD releases... ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches WWE Divas Do New York ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches -- Volume II
anarchistxx Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 I'm sure that ECW Bloodsport 1 was already penned down. Saw it on Silvervision about 2 months ago.
Guest teke184 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Even more additions have been made to the list of DVD releases... ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches WWE Divas Do New York ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches -- Volume II Bloodsport was listed in the Best Buy salespaper for last week but I couldn't find a copy of it on Tuesday. It's mainly matches that were on the four ECW compilation DVDs released by Pioneer, which are Extreme Evolution, Deep Impact, Hardcore Heaven, and Path Of Destruction.
Marty Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 The official release date for Bloodsport is next Tuesday.
Guest SweetMama Scaat Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 They could always show clips of the Benoit/Sullivan match that had classic Dusty-isms of "They be Clubbin'" Thats a song by Ice Cube. Youre thinking of "CluBBERin" I would like to see a Booker T dvd and maybe even The Big Show, and yes, Im for serious.
sek69 Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Posted February 4, 2006 I wouldn't mind a Big Show DVD. It would remind people how awesome he was back when he gave a shit.
Guest bravesfan Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Why, why, WHY does John Cena get a second DVD two years after the first??? Because it'll sell a shitload?
sek69 Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Posted February 4, 2006 Actually I think a Cena DVD is a bad idea, since not only would it show Cena's not really that great a wrestler, the main program part would pretty much destroy his gimmick if they talked to his whitebread family and friends in the middle of Whitesville Suburbia and then cut to Cena all "YO YO, WHERE MY CLICK AT HOMIEZ???"
