Wrestling on DVD?

The WWE seems to be sitting on alot of potential DVD's with there archives from the 60's and 70's.I was just wondering is there a market for the older wrestling.Would someone be interested in The Best of Superstar Billy Graham?Others like Andre the Giant,Bruno Sammartino,Ivan Koloff would be of interest as well.How about a 4 hour DVD of nothing but WWE managers from the past(Grand Wizard,Blassie,Albano,etc.).The only question to be answered is this stuff marketable.

Probably more interests in the 80's and 90's then 60's and 70's

I'd like to see a decades collection, a multiple disk set with one disk for each decade.

a lot of the older stuff will never make dvd because the promoters use to recycle tapes and tape over the old stuff a few weeks later to cut costs thinking there would never be any need for it later on.

Bill Watts ex-wife owns the master tapes of the UWF(later bought out by WCW).Wrestling Gold has some older matches also but I don't know what is available out there.I recorded the audio portion of many wrestling shows from the 70's(pre-vcr days).I don't know If the new breed of wrestling fan is interested in wrestling's glorious past.

There is always a market for classic wrestling.

The time to market it has passed, they should have done it 3 years ago, when wrestling was so big.
