I picked up Flair tonight at Future Shop for 22.99 and also grabbed the WM24 tin from Best Buy for 26.99. Both good prices.
I really enjoyed the Flair documentary. While I agree that some WCW parts were rushed over, I'm glad that it did not dwell too much on the negative. Ric Flair's recent retirement should be celebrated and enjoyed, so it's pretty much 2 feel good hours and a great sendoff. Flair's career can be better documented through a long and detailed book. I have not read Flair's book yet, but it's had mixed reviews.
I'm satisfied with the DVD for sure and will probably re-watch it more than other DVDs for the pure pleasure of just celebrating the man and what he means to our favorite sport. Until a 6 disc Flair box set comes out...lol, this is just fine by me. Highly Recommended!

I bought the Flair set and PWG Sells Out today - I've completely finished disc 1 and loved it, and enjoyed what I've seen of Sells Out, although I'm not a fan of how they packaged it - with each disc stacked right on top of each other - fortunately, I have some DVD separators from some DVD-R packs, so this isn't a huge issue for me, but it's something they should address in the next release. There also aren't any match listings inside the packaging (or on it), which requires me to print out my own, just like the five-disc Wrestling Gold set.

They did this for the Royal Rumble Anthology which i think they started selling individually around Nov/Dec. of last year and they set was released March.

hey
so if the "complete hell" dvd is 3 disc, and seeing how there has only been around 15 hell in a cell matches, couldnt they include all of the matches plus a 1 hour documentry
say if each match runs total of 30 min, thats about 6 matches per disk, 6 times 3 is 18, so even if they include all 15 that still leaves atleast 1 hour for the documentry, hopefully wwe doesnt screw this up, i dont see how they can
also if they really need room and have to get rid of 1 or 2 i hope they get rid of mankind-taker or hbk-taker seeing how those are already one dvd releases, especially releases that almost everybody has already

The match was actually pretty good but i think it should have ended at about 30 minutes. The last 15 minutes was basically them hitting each other with moves and falling back down again, laying there with lots of dead space. Other than that it was a great brawl.
The HIAC dvd will look pretty good, the only matches i need are the Armageddon 6 man from 2000 and the rare Mankind/Kane from RAW 1998 (if you can call that a HIAC match, it was only about 7-10 minutes). Other than that i pretty much have all the matches on other dvds but i will still buy it since all of them will be on one set rather than me going through my other dvds to watch one match.

I really hope the HIAC set has every match on it, as I don't collect a whole lot of wrestling dvds. I know alot of you on here are bugged when matches are duplicated on sets, which is understandable, but people like me who don't buy a ton of releases a set are hoping for a set with all HIAC matches.
I've been thinking about picking up the history of the WWF/E heavyweight title set. Is this a good release, entertainment wise? It looks interesting, I'd just like to know if there are any really good complete matches on it, or if it is mostly highlights.
