Here are the ones I would reccomend, and I do own them all as well.

nWo Back in Black
Hollywood Hulk Hogan - Hulk Still Rules
Ric Flair Collection
WWE Bloodbath - Wrestling's Most Incredible Steel Cage
WWE Hall of Fame
WWE Mick Foley Greatest Hits & Misses
The Monday Night War: WWE Raw vs. WCW Nitro
Wrestling Gold Collection (Special Edition)
Wrestling Gold: Blood, Brawls, and Grudges
Wrestling Gold: Night of the Legends
Wrestling's Future Stars


I own a lot more, but you wanted something that would be old school. Most of these fit the bill and some others are can't misses.

Even though I'm pretty sure it's OOP, I don't think the WM17 dvd has been mentioned. It's got Rock/Austin, Shane/Vince, Old School Battle Royal, etc!

Otherwise I'd agree with what the others say - Flair, Foley, Hall of Fame, Hogan, Steel Cage, NWO, WMXX.

Check out highspots.com because they get pretty specific as to what is on each dvd.

I don't recommend the RAW 10th Anniversary dvd though, I remember that being such a let down when it first aired!

I'll second all of these:

Shawn Michaels
Mick Foley
Monday Night Wars
Ric Flair
WrestleMania XX

I just got 2 copies of the Hogan dvd on ebay for ~$19 shipped. Can't wait . I am soon going to order the Stone Cold, Steel Cage and a few other dvd's.

Almost ALL the ECW PPVs. And five ECW TV compilations. Though I think Vince is putting a stop to it all. So get them while you can!

I don't know if he is. Because you can still easily get the R1 ECW DVDs.

Oh, and stay away from XPW. It sucks!!

Ultimate Ric Flair?

will the Ultimate Flair go OOP? I know the WWE mass produces DVDs but this one looks like a prime candidate to go OOP.

Can you get a new copy for less than $20?

Is there much of a difference between The Best of Raw DVDs and the Raw Tenth Anniversary DVD?

They're 2 completely different things.

Also, I heard the Raw Tenth Anniversary DVD sucks.

The best of raw is a group of clips of the "best" moments in raw history and is put together well. The Raw Tenth Anniversary show is basically an award show of raw superstars. It was a real let down and would be a waste to get on dvd.(its not like the old slammy awards)

Yeah I saw it on TV it sucked pretty bad. What was funny I think Stone Cold won like 2 awards or it may have been one I forget but he was not there to get the awards. That was the best part of the show cause it made me laugh. The fans were cheering cause they were thinking they may see Stone Cold then booed once they find out they was shit of of luck. It was during the time of his walk out.

The two best of Raw DVD's are clips from the attitude era as fans call it now. You don't see many clips from that time now being as they have to cover the old WWF up so I'd like to get them if I can find them cheap.

Wow did a search on for Best Of Raw on www.dvdtalk.com/price.html and no stores had new copys. That sicks can anyone point me to online store that has them?


Here is some info from amazon for best of Raw

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd


PS.WTF I tryed to post http://www.dvdtalk.com/price.html/ but it does not work. Wow the forum will change http://www.dvd pricesearch.com/ neat.

If I remember correctly, his music played when he won, but Vince then came out to "bad mouth" him.

Also, everyone was cheering for Bret Hart to come out, but he was nowhere near the building.

A "bright side" of the show was that it had the beginning of the Rock's heel turn.
