Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Good. Here's hoping for Hogan treatment. Is this one the FROM THE VAULT series or the Legends or whatever series... One DVD-Flair Retrospective Interview DVD 2- 6 hours of Flair... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Woooo, indeed. So how far does WWF's archive of JCP go? They seem to keep surprising us. Anyway: This better be like two or three DVDs of matches and other associated content. By that I mean early Horsemen antics, the Arn Anderson retirement and (subsequent parody), and the reformation with the tuxes. But no goofy mental hospital or Vince McMahon-related skits. But that's what we'll get, in addition to verbal fellatio for HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 I have a feeling we'll be saying "they could've done SO much more with this" when it's released. However, for now, GREAT news. They should do like Shawn Michaels and release a DVD with just matches and promos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Old Me Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Flair needs 2-3 discs. I don't care if they want to put a story on it, but we need like 40 matches and promos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dmann2000 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Let's start bitching now about what they left off, I'll start... Man how could they leave off Flair/Luger from Starrcade 88, damn WWE, they've got all that footage and they never use it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ray Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Breaking news, probable match listing: vs. Vader - Starrcade 1993 vs. Vince McMahon - Royal Rumble 2002 vs. Undertaker - Wrestlemania 18 vs. Chris Jericho - Summerslam 2002 vs. Triple H - Raw 2003 vs. Goldberg - Raw 2003 I wouldn't doubt it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Must have title matches vs Macho Man and Brett Hart! And that match vs Mr Perfect everybody worships. But in reality it will be matches vs HHH vs HBK and some random tag matches from Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook Report post Posted August 16, 2003 They're going to put more WWF stuff than WCW. We're going to have to accept it. On the bright side, I can finally get the entire 92 Rumble match on dvd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up. Besides a few old WWF matches (vs. Savage, vs. Perfect, vs. Hart, vs. HBK) I wouldn't expect anything special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vince has shown footage from Starrcade 83 before so I think his JCP stuff goes way back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Why the Vader Match of all matches? HHH will lobby for One of the Steamboat matches I'm sure... Flair likely wants The Rumble 92 on the DVD...if Shawn can get his Iron Man...Flair can get the rumble... Likely Card NWA Montage Steamboat Match-Pick your poison Rumble 92 Savage WM8 McMahon Rumble 02 HHH Raw w/Post match bonus special add in Three wild card Matches and there it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHawk 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 How much pull does Vince McMahon have with the DVD releases themselves? Because if it's mostly just production guys doing it we might get a chance at the good stuff. I'll accept them putting on more WWE/E stuff than NWA/WCW stuff provided there's at least one Steamboat match and they focus on Flair's first run with the company. But I doubt that very highly.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Be on the lookout for this stuff on the 2nd run with WCW section Flair has a "heart attack" Flair gets sent to the nut hospital Flair gets his hair shaved Father vs Son crap.. and if we're real nice they might throw in matches too. They gotta at least have the first Flair Hogan match.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're going to have to accept it. I wouldn't doubt it Just like the other profile DVD's, right? Just like the HBK DVD, which had HITC, Mind Games, the Iron-Man match, the No-Holds-Barred match and the Ladder match....oh wait. Just like the Hogan DVD, which had the '90 Rumble, '88 Survivor Series, WM III, Shea Stadium, Wrestling Classic, The Big Event, 1st title victory and debut in the WWF....oh wait. Just like the Foley DVD, which had the Mind Games match, Over The Edge match, Halftime Heat and the infamous Kennel In The Cell....oh wait. Maybe like the Rey DVD, which had the Halloween Havoc ***** clinic, Rey's PPV debut, his Cruiserweight title victories and the AAA match....OH WAIT. If you're going to bitch, at least back your complaints up with EVIDENCE. There is NO EVIDENCE that the Home Video department has jipped us on the profile DVD's, so quit bitching and move to a thread that demands incessant whining or petty jabs - go join a clique in NHB or something.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 16, 2003 As long as It doesn't make NWA/WCW look good...Vince is fine with it. He only put ONE WCW match on there and that was a match he kinda *HAD* to be there although He really should have added a couple NWO matches to pull it off... Flair and Vince will be PLEASED to remind them of the 1992 run because they mentioned it a lot in the Rumble 2002 hype... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 How far can they go back with the matches? Could they have some some matches vs the Von Erichs? How many Hoss matches will be on this? Will Hawk, Vader, Goldberg, Steiner be on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 16, 2003 They go back to early as least 1983...it really depends on what FLAIR owns... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hogan DVD had a lot of matches that had no place being on the DVD and they could have added a few other more monumental ones. Half of the matches on the Rey DVD are three minute SD specials. GO WWE HOME VIDEO!!!! I haven't seen the other two you brought up. But just look at the feature segments on the Hogan and Rey DVD. Rey spent 5 years in WCW, yet it was discussed for all of 10 minutes. Hogan talked about the nWo and that was it. Obviously someone likes to dwell on the current product more than the past.

That'd be cool if it had all his title wins though I could see them doing a montage for it... Althought I'm sure it gets muddled around the 1-5 area... and depending on which Title Linage they go with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 16, 2003 WWE Magazine did an article with Flair where he talked about all his title reigns- so there is a lineage that they recognise I'm a little muddled personally... Who did he win the 15 and 16th off of? I want to say he won the title over Jarrett or Russo....but I can't remember those days... Cuz I remember him winning it via F4 after they were all "Flair can't win the title anymore...he's days are passed him" and it was actually a genuine upset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHawk 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 I actually enjoyed the Hogan DVD having all those meaningless matches on it, as I hadn't seen a large portion of those. Although whoever came up with Hogan/Okerlund vs. Steele/Fuji ought to have been fired on the spot. The HBK DVD didn't focus on anything prior to the WMX ladder match outside of one AWA tag team match. It's like his first six years in the WWF mean nothing despite two IC Title runs and some awesome matches. The Rey DVD should have had more WCW stuff if only because there isn't enough good WWE stuff yet to justify leaving it off, but since they didn't have the ECW footage yet and only had the one match from AAA to work with, it was passable. No matter what they do with a Flair DVD, they're going to leave something out because there's so much great stuff that deserves to be there. Hopefully they go with stuff that isn't readily available, because using the stuff that's available elsewhere cheapens the DVD. The one exception: Flair vs. Steamboat from WrestleWar 89 because I refuse to buy a HHH DVD for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
