Yeah, these DVDs aren't connected to the Best of RAW videos that were released years ago. As someone stated, these are UK exclusives. The other volumes are: Cena vs. Edge Raw's Most Memorable Matches Smackdown's Most Memorable Matches

From an entertainment perspective, Jerry Lynn and Rob Van Dam were fantastic any time they worked together whether it was Living Dangerously '99, Hardcore Heaven '99, the various Hardcore television matches, or Guilty As Charged '01. Even the Sunday Night Heat match was solid for what it was.

Would never happen. Unless they stand to profit from it, like Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock, WWE doesn't care about fan's "dream matches." When they had Jerry Lynn and Rob Van Dam on the roster in mid-'01, they only met once on an edition of Sunday Night Heat. For the most part WWE fans hadn't been exposed to their work together in ECW, so WWE could've easily had a feud between the two and put on some fantastic matches. Didn't happen.

Sadly, you're probably right. "Look, it says our name right next to the WWE's! WE'RE RELEVENT, DAMMIT!" TNA just loves to goad and goad at everybody... "look we can be big too, lets say the name of the competition and say that they suck in order to be popular!" They couldve been a threat to WWE, now they are a threat to reruns of Everybody loves Raymond That's quite the assumption to make and I doubt that is the thought that currently exists throughout TNA.

I think they atleast deserve a promotion-specific DVD similar to the "Rise and Fall of ECW." As for how Vince McMahon treated WCW after he purchased it, I don't see how you can say he treated it better. -He botched their "goodbye" when he walked out too early for his interview on the final Monday Nitro. -He didn't even allow WCW the opportunity to stand on it's own before he threw ECW into the mix. -You had WWE wrestlers join WCW, which didn't make any sense. -WWE defeated WCW cleanly at Survivor Series. -After that, Vince McMahon systematically released most of the WCW wrestlers instead of less-talented WWE wrestlers because of politics. Can't exactly say he made the most out of what could have been the biggest angle in professional wrestling history. I also question the decision not to atleast attempt a WCW-only television show, it couldn't have been any worse than the current ECW in terms of quality and ratings.

I don't think you can blame WCW for the fact that they were purchased by WWE. AOL/Time Warner essentially rendered the company dead when they cancelled their television show. That was the only roadblock between Eric Bischoff and WCW in late '00.

If they do somehow discover that Daniel died first, you open up the possibility that people will start to question the investigation as a whole. You'll have more people call for the entire case to be revisited and all of the evidence to be reviewed. WWE would probably welcome that.

What the fuck do you expect a 6'7" 500 pound black guy to do? He serves his purpose well, and people are getting into his fun squashes. Later down the road he can help cement the top babyfaces of ECW, Smackdown, and Raw. So people are behind C.M. Punk more now than they were before he was squashed by Viscera?

Just look at the reaction Dean Malenko received when he pulled of the Ciclope mask at the end of the battle royal at Slamboree '98. You just don't get that type of crowd reaction for a mid-card feud in this day and age. For all the crap WCW received about their treatment of the younger talent, what they did do was give the guys an opportunity. Tell me the last time there was a mid-card storyline as intricate as the Chris Jericho/Dean Malenko feud in WCW. For you to be a mid-carder and to have any type of storyline in WWE, you needed to be connected to D-Generation X or the Corporation. WCW had Chris Jericho/Dean Malenko throughout '98, Chris Benoit/Diamond Dallas Page/Raven in early '98, and Perry Saturn/Raven in late '98. All mid-card feuds that were given time to develop and because of it were well-received by the fans. I hate when I see what WCW did disrespected by people like Gerald Brisco and Jim Ross. I watched the Four Horsemen DVD today and a couple of comments caught my ear. Jim Ross criticised the NWA for attempting to make Lex Luger into another Hulk Hogan, a mistake Vince McMahon would make just a few years later. I also hate all the comments about if Vince McMahon's mind was behind certain angles or wrestlers, how much better they would have turned out. He sure showed Eric Bischoff how to correctly book Bill Goldberg, Dean Malenko, Diamond Dallas Page, Lance Storm, Raven, the cruiserweights, the nWo, etc. I'd love to see another WCW DVD created and this time make it from a WCW point-of-view, less input from guys like Gerald Brisco and Vince McMahon and more input from Eric Bischoff and guys like Booker T, Chavo Guerrero, Gene Okerlund, Hulk Hogan, Rey Mysterio, Ric Flair, and Scott Hall (who will likely be under contract soon).

I'd love to see this as well. Chris Jericho's feud with Dean Malenko, by itself, could make one hell of a DVD.

It's just Armando Estrada now.

We always hear about how WCW mistreated mid-card talent, but what you don't hear is how guys like Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, etc. would have never been known at a national level if it wasn't for WCW. At this point, in terms of politics, I doubt there is much of a difference between current-day WWE and WCW in 1998. I hope we'll see a couple of additional WCW DVD releases. ECW has already had one to talk about the history of the promotion, one to highlight some of the best matches of the original ECW, and one to highlight some of the matches of the new ECW. If ECW can warrant three different DVDs in a short period of time, WCW should atleast warrant two additional DVDs in the near future. Monday Night War was decent, but I'd like a complete history of WCW and some of the best matches in the company's history.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OhBRnfItS_U There's the "fingerpoke of doom." I would believe that what Mick Foley didn't like was the fact that the show ended with Bill Goldberg beaten. The build-up that night and the non-match just begged for Bill Goldberg to clean house and end the show raising the World title belt above his head. What they got, just made him look weak.

That would be Main Event Spectacles, all-around great show with A.J. Styles vs. Bryan Danielson and the first Scramble Cage. Can't help you on the other question

I kind of hope someone like Shark Boy is the first to be caught.

Until he eventually shows up in the WWE right? He'll be "Stylish" Allen Jones by then, with a gay gimmick. He hates the gays remember? Which is exactly why Vince McMahon will saddle him with the gimmick. He hasn't paid his dues in the business, remember?

I didn't like him much without the mask, Mysterio has always been a favorite of mine so it's hard for me to hate on the guy. I liked him immediately after he lost the mask, when he worked with Billy Kidman against Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, and Raven. I also liked him towards the very end of WCW when the Cruiserweight Tag Team titles were introduced.

Boogeyman emulated Sting, Jim Duggan, and Ultimate Warrior in a matter of seconds. Who said he can't wrestle?

He needs a stronger fan for his entrance.

I hope not. I suppose it's just acceptance. At this point, when John Cena retains at pay-per-views, I just sit and laugh because of how absurd it is.

Something worse than hell.

Is Elijah Burke injured?

Don't know if it was here or at the RoH boards, but someone said they would be in attendance and would have signs like that and try and start chants as well. I also believe I have seen a Ring of Honor title belt around that same section of the crowd.
