I have a relatively small collection compared to most!

Only around 35 WWE dvds.

eric bishoff said in a recent interview wwe contacted him about "rise and fall of wcw" he declined saying he never wanted to be a part of wwe's "history, saying vince and the wwe alter wrestling history to make them look better, after seeing monday night war dvd its VERY true

now what happens with the dvd, without eric that leaves a huge whole, imagine if heyman dropped out of rise and fall of ecw

shacmasta

Sorry, Eric. That's what happens when you lose the war. To the victor goes the spoils. But seriously, they have enough stock footage of him talking about "his side" of why wcw went under and his every excuse in the book to absolve him from any wrong doing. They even have footage of his appearance from the legends of wrestling segments on wwe 24/7 talking about his almost purchase of the company, before they told him he has no tv rights.

Hopefully they get Kevin Sullivan to be apart of it.

chuckliddell

you cant tell the story of wcw without eric, thats like heyman not being a part of rise of fall of ecw, there were alot of other factors that lead to wcw's downfall, it wasnt "vince beat eric" it was alot more, but wwe fans are biased and play it down, fact is eric beat the "empire" for over 2 years and vince is still bitter cause his ego is so big, he needs to rewrite his own history

sad thing is lots of newer wwe fans belive this stuff and dont know how great wcw was, the nwo and cruiserweights were awesome at its time and broke new ground in wrestling and started the best era is wrestling

but whatever, wwe biased fans will believe what THEY want to believe, i think wcw fan or not don't be so biased and arrogant that you push aside the facts

Aces_High

Picked up this oddball dvd today at Sat Matinee, don't know if I'm going to keep it or not, seems like one of those dvd's thats gonna end up being quite rare in the long run...still want to know your opinions and inputs.

I ordered a copy of the RVD TV DVD from RVD's site. I'm looking forward to checking it out, as I thought the trailer for his show looked interesting and I've always been a fan of RVD.

The pre-release version is signed... but only 1 disc. I'll have to look out for the 2 disc version in stores.

Allied Powers: The World's Greatest Tag Teams DVD (3 Discs)

Disk 1:

Throughout the years, fans of sports entertainment have enjoyed the controlled chaos of tag-team wrestling. Many present and future Hall of Fame Superstars have been part of a popular duo, including Shawn Michaels (The Rockers), Bret “Hit Man” Hart (The Hart Foundation) and Jeff and Matt Hardy (The Hardy Boys). Some Superstars will forever be remembered for their incredible impact as a team, including The Road Warriors, The Fabulous Freebirds and The Midnight Express. Some teams were a result of the unique, temporary pairing of two singles Superstars, including The Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage), and D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels).

Allied Powers: The World’s Greatest Tag Teams honours all the greatest duos in sports entertainment history, complete with matches from WWE, WCW, NWA, AWA, WCCW and Championship Wrestling from Florida. Packed with profiles of more than 20 historical tag teams and events and 25 tag-team matches, Allied Powers: The World’s Greatest Tag Teams gives fans twice the excitement, twice the action and twice the drama.

awesome looking set!

WWE has been on a role this year with these amazing sets; Starrcade, Best of SNME, Greatest Stars of 90s, Macho Madness, and now this.

hbkbiggestfan

Got some info on the Wal-Mart Exclusive edition of WrestleMania 25 DVD.
It appears it will be the same 3-disc set but it will come with a mini version of the WWE Encyclepedia. I'll pass for a tin else where if released.

chuckliddell

where is ecw, dudleys were ecw's most popular tag team and there were other great tag team matches, why not atleast have a hardcore type tag team match represented
would of liked to see another outsiders match as well, they were great back in original nwo

p.s.watch wwe bury eric and throw him under the bus and blame him for everything on rise and fall of wcw now that he backed out of it, sad thing is new fans will actually believe it

TehOH1

Hi, new here.

Just wondering if anybody knows if the new Tagged Classics (No Way Out & Backlash 2004) does keep Benoit on the cover of the Backlash DVD. I know he's off on the cardboard that holds the cases, but I don't know if he's off the actual case. I was planning on purchasing it today, but I won't get it if he's not on it, as it wouldn't be the original.

Thanks.

Fanboy

While it sucks that Eric declined to be a part of the set, I think he's more pissed about not having the DVD showcase *his* version of history.

Eric has as objective a view of WCW history as Vince. I needed hip-waders to get through the sheer colossal amount of BS spewed forth by his book.

sg2386

Its also going to be available in Canada but won't be an exclusive but rather a standard release.

I don't think there will a tin release since it would have been mentioned by now.

BullGooseLoony

The tag team set looks alright, but I'm definitely going to pass.

And yeah, the only exclusive I want for WM XXV is a tin or steelbook.

deto

the tag team dvd looks great, day one purchase for me.
and as for Wrestlemania, just give me the blu-ray, eff a tin or steelbook...

Aces_High

Picked up a dozen UFC dvd's tonight at Sat Matinee-everything from 78 and before are $4.97, incl. the 2packs from 43/44-51/52, as well as Liddell/Couture Triology & Iceman feature. I know there's an MMA thread but a)I couldnt find it and b)I know there's a crossover so I figured you all would like to know.

To keep it wrestling related, out of 3 FYE stores, and 1 Best Buy, NONE had the TNA: Second To None Best of Tag Teams dvd. Guess I'll grab it from ROH.

doctaheath78

Wait let me guet this straight....the Couture/Lidell Trilogy with Lenticualr cover is only $4.97? Does FYE have this price as well? Finally is it in sotr or online or both?

ecwfan

If I was to order this from Rob's site would I still get a signed copy? I don't see it listed as being signed on his site.

Aces_High

In store, there were 4 or 5 of the C/L trilogy, I originally bought one with the regular cover, but when I took a look at my buys in the car I realized, and went back to exchange it for the lenticular. I stopped by 2 FYE's and they did have some UFC dvds for 4.97 but nowhere near the selection that Sat Mat had. I mean the only ones they didn't have from 43-78 were 70, 71, 74 (they didn't have 57 by itself obviously but they had the C/L trilogy).

So yeah check around your local Transworld stores, selection varies (I guess). One of the FYE's also had new UFC titles for $9.99 (late 80s) which I'll be grabbing soon!

EDIT: I just opened my Iceman dvd, and not only was the slip cover shrinkwrapped, the dvd hadn't been opened and the lenticular iceman card was included. Sweet.

Pics coming shortly.

chuckliddell

ted turner turned down wcw's dvd also, wwe contacted him and gary shaw to be part of the dvd but both turned it down

at this point i would rather 3 disc's of the best matches and moments than waste 1 disc on burying eric and company and telling a biased story

without turner,eric,shaw,hogan,nash,golberg just to name a few how can u tell the story of wcw, all the key players during there 2 year rein of ratings are not there, just the cruiserweights like rey.dean.etc

dadaluholla

You can't say WWE's not trying though, they've reached out to everyone they can to be in this set, it's the key players who are turning them down.

Who's to say they will bury Eric and WCW anyways? Sure, McMahon and Co. won the war and like to rub it in every now and then, but you can't say they don't allow the stories to be told. Just look at the Legends of Wrestling Roundtables on 24/7, they're pretty good about being off the record and telling the truth.
