I was wondering when TNA would get around to doing an Angle DVD - I love the title, although I'm not big on the cover. Hopefully they do a better job with this than they did with the Sting DVD, which didn't even do a good job of summing up his TNA run, let alone his entire career.
They've got plenty of great matches to work with, so there's no reason it shouldn't be "great" at a bare minimum. Part of me hopes they just make it a matches-only release, while another part of me wants them to put a documentary on it so Angle can rant and rave about how mis-used he was by WWE and how he "quit". A chapter devoted to Puder would be incredibly amusing as well.

I picked the following matches. I don't think any of these were released on dvd as of yet.
70's/80's
Pat Patterson vs. Ted DiBiase - An early classic
Honky Tonk Man vs. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat - I was always secretly a honky tonk man mark.
Honky Tonk Man vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage - Always had fond memories of this match.
90's
Razor Ramon vs. Rick Martel
Ken Shamrock vs. Mankind
Chyna vs. Jeff Jarrett - Very Underrated and fun match, I doubt they will allow it.
2000's
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Jericho vs. X-Pac
Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Christian

From Silvervision:
Curt Hennig, better known as Mr. Perfect, competed for the American Wrestling Association, World Wrestling Entertainment and World Championship Wrestling. Born the son of legendary Larry “The Axe” Hennig, it was perhaps inevitable that Curt would want to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Mr. Perfect lived up to his moniker becoming one of the best in-ring technicians of his generation. A former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, he was also the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the 1990s. Loved by fans and friends alike, Mr. Perfect entertained in and out of the ring, earning him the honour of induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. This two-disc set relives his life and career, from his early start as a second-generation star through AWA, WWE, and WCW. Some of his greatest matches and vignettes are included. Who was this man? Here’s a hint… he was absolutely “perfect”.

Looks like a great set. Of course most of us are going to complain that it should be three discs, but the fact is that most of Perfect's latter career was not good. The matches with Bret Hart from '89 and '98 are what I really wanted, since they'll complete the series if you have the Bret DVD. Not crazy about them including the match from SS '91, but it's even cooler to have a match with Hogan, and Michaels, his IC title win. Definitely picking this up.

I'll be picking up the Hennig set, but I could have done without the two Summerslam matches being on it. I'm also disappointed that his first IC title win over Tito Santana isn't included. I hope that match makes it onto the IC title dvd set.

I was hoping they atleast included a couple of matches with Flair, especially the Loser leaves town match from RAW in 1993 since the one on the RAW 15th Anniversary is not complete.
Still a pretty good set.

WWE 24/7 just had the 1-hour match with Bockwinkel. Really, if you have WWE 24/7
these sets aren't worth getting 99% of the time. You can just make your own DVD
collections of great matches from the past.

To each his own, but if you already have most of the matches on DVD's,
then it's pointless to shell out $19-25 bucks. I wish they'd put rare matches
on these sets instead of the same old stuff. I like that they've included the
Hennig-Hart match from '89, but I've seen their '91 SummerSlam match at least
20 times. If it wasn't for the documentary, I wouldn't be getting the Flair
collection this coming week either. That has an even more disappointing match
list, in my opinion. I'll get the Flair set, but I'm going to wait on Mr. Perfect until
it's really, really cheap.

Of course there are no Benoit matches on that list to choose from. Would have been nice to at least sneak one in on the list...not like theyd actually have to include it if people voted for it.

Im not a huge ROH fan, just dont have a way to watch it, but had a question. I came across ROH's Stars of Honor dvd today...Does anyone know if this dvd is any good. I was particularly interested in the 2 Matt Hardy matches featured on it from his stint he had there in 2005 between his WWE stints. It was only 9.99 and also has CM Punk vs Samoa Joe, is this dvd worth it....Also are there other RETAIL dvds released by ROH w/ Matt's matches?
EDIT: I know this has probably been mentioned before, but are ROH's dvds that are not retail releases printed on DVD-R's?

I'd recommend starting with those and if you get hooked on ROH (like I did) you should wait until their website has a Big Ten sale where a lot of their DVDs are marked down to 10 bucks and you get 10% off the whole order.
Some folks like starting with the really early stuff in 2002 as while it's low production values, the in-ring work is amazing and gives you a feel for what made ROH different.
You could also cherry pick some shows that have your favorite wrestlers on them. Recently they had a sale where they marked down a lot of their "Best of" DVDs down to 5.00 and 15% off! That was a steal of a deal...

Question for anyone who bought the Judgment Day 2008 DVD:
The DVD lists the "championship" chase as the special feature. While I know it doesn't include every match from the tournament, does it feature the final round battle royal in it's entirety?

The ROH no-commercial DVD's are not DVD-r's. They are dual layered with disk art.

Thanks everyone for the info on the ROH dvds, i think im going to have to go back to suncoast and and get the Stars of Honor dvd.....
My only concern is: on their website shop, i looked at their current sale and they have a 4 DVD Grab Bag and it says "grab bag can include DVDs and DVD-Rs" (or something to that effect), any info on this?? Would this be a shoot interview disc or something not licensed by ROH that they may throw in? I dont like 'blind purchasing'.

Definitely YMMV, but my local Circuit City in Humble, TX had The Definitive Ric Flair Collection out early. The price tag listed it at $21.99, but the Web site shows it for $19.99.
