Title: Upcoming DVD releases


eStragand - February 4, 2006 06:44 AM (GMT)
After cleaning the jism off my pants upon seeing the AWA logo on the WWE site, I saw that they have these projects, upcoming:
-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
-The World's Greatest Wrestling Managers
-The American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story
-ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches
-WWE Divas Do New York
-ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches -- Volume II

I'd be excited for Piper and AWA discs. Dusty Rhodes gets a "maybe" from me.

Managers might be fun, depending on the content. I'm assuming Bobby Heenan's Weasel Suit matches will be included. Plus... if there was ever a place to insert FUJI VICE or the Bobby Heenan Show, this would be it!

The Hogan one is interesting. Again, the matches would be the deciding factor. Unless they have some real rarities on it, it'll most likely be a rental, not a buy. I'm assuming they'd toss in his SummerSlam 2005 match and some Mr. America stuff.

I think its interesting their doin a Pillman DVD, as he obviously wasn't up on the same tier as other sad but true stories like Jake Roberts. Should be interesting though.

A Cena DVD is a fuckin joke.

The Hogan one could be nice, I agree. I don't know shit about the AWA, so maybe this is my chance. And another Austin/McMahon offering? There can't possibly be anything left to say.

The Hogan DVD will be cool but they already put everything on his first DVD. Dunno what they'll do this time but they'll add the matches with Vince and HBK to it. Two ECW DVD's? That's gonna be a whole lotta shit. A Pillman DVD will be interesting, and so will the Piper DVD. I figured they'd put out a Cena DVD because of his big title reign last year, so they'll have a lot of his big matches from '05 in there. And Austin/McMahon, I dunno what they'll do with the DVD.

I'll purchase the Cena dvd for everyone on the board as a Christmas present this year B)

In all seriousness, it looks as though WWE will be getting too much of my money when I find myself with no choice but to purchase several of those titles.

I just hope that these DVDs offer more than five matches, like the Superstar Billy Graham DVD.

There's nothing to put on Hogan's DVD?

He did wrestle in AWA and WCW, you know. The Hulk Still Rules DVD only covered "rare" matches from his first WW(W)F run (and the Flair match from BATB 94).

There's plenty of dirt to dig up for a DVD, since WWF's video library is the size of the grand canyon.

I wonder what their video library looks like. I'd like to just go hang out there for a few months.

If I did that.....................you'd never see me again.

If anyone did that you'd never see them again... (plans to move into WWE's video vault)

Hey, y'know, speaking of their video library, did they ever make an agreement with Kevin Von Erich to acquire the World Class footage? Back when I used to hang out at the Kayfabe Memories site, there was an ongoing debate/story about whether or not the two sides should hook up.

That was around 2001-2003 and I lost track of any deal. Then, Kevin Von Erich had an appearance on the WWE "homecoming" RAW show back in October. I forgot to look into it, but I'm hoping they worked something out. The World Class stuff was awesome, and it'd reach a wider audience and would have better production in WWE hands that in KVE's hands (on his own, Kevin released a sub-par World Class DVD in 2003... but it wasn't too amazing).

They'd have early footage of Warrior, Jake the Snake, King Kong Bundy, Rick Rude, Percy (Paul Bearer) Pringle, Punisher/Big Red (Undertaker) and even..... Nord the Barbarian (Berzerker!!!) and Bill Irwin (The GOON)!!! Although they'd probably change the entrance music, so Rude's footage wouldn't be the same without "Smooth Operator" being piped in. There's even a few Andre matches from down there.

Plus, the World Class mainstays like the Von Erichs, Bugsy McGraw, Chris Adams, Gino Hernandez, early Midnights and Corny, plus the freaks of Devastation, Inc. It'd also have the long-sought treasure chest of the Freebird stuff. A Freebirds DVD would destroy in some may ways. Their endless fights with the Von Erichs, their war with Devastation and even the late 80's stuff with Steve Cox, Iceman and Black Bart.

Well hey, it smarks can wax their pole speculating about that long-rumored Horseman DVD, I can speculate over World Class stuff.

I'm pretty sure they came to agreement around that time when Von Erich appeared on Raw, but I'm not totally 10000% sure. :D

Von Erich still might own it, but the WWE may have paid for some royalties to use some matches on their DVD set; plus its more exposure for Von Erich.
