Which DVD should I buy?

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

I don't have enough money right now for both, so I can only pick one. Which one should I pick? Let's compare:

 

Stone Cold Truth:

Focused on One person

Good Fluff piece

Seen Fluff piece

6 matches

28 special features

4 Easter Eggs

More Than 3 hours

Just Bought Stone Cold DVD(Cause Stone Cold Said So)

 

Monday Night War:

Focused on many people in two organizations

Haven't seen Fluff piece

4 matches(probably better)

13 special features

No Easter Eggs(known as of right now)

Only 3 hours

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

I would go for the Monday Night Wars.

 

If only to see WWE revisionist history at work.

 

Is one of the matches on that Austin and HBK vs. Owen and Bulldog? Or was that a different DVD?

You are correct. MNW has Owen/Bulldog vs. HBK/SCSA

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Then I officially recommend that one.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

What are the matches on each Stone Cold DVD if somebody doesn't mind listing them? I've been wondering this for awhile and haven't been able to find a listing...only a price and "Add to Cart" option, blah

When do they come out, and what all is on both of them exactly?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Which are full matches and which DVD is that off of?

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

They come out on the 10th but I've seen WWE DVDs at FYE the Friday before they're supposed to be out.

[pochorenella 0]

I'm not sure about all of the six(?) matches but I remember a few:

 

Austin/Pillman vs Flair/Anderson - 2/3 falls tag match

Austin vs Mickey Whipwreck from ECW

Austin's debut WWF match as "The Ringmaster"

 

That's all the matches I've heard about. And in response to the question which to buy: Personally I'm getting both, but the MNW DVD seems better overall.

[Downhome 0]

Wow, I want both of these then, AND the Foley DVD that I have yet to buy. Is this the last round of awesome WWE DVDs for a while?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Austin/Pillman vs Flair/Anderson - 2/3 falls tag match

That alone makes it worth the purchase. I'll deffinately have to look into picking it up when I get the money and its in a store near me.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

I'm going to throw my vote at Austin's DVD. The Austin/McMahon segments turn the tide for me.

[pochorenella 0]

Wow, I want both of these then, AND the Foley DVD that I have yet to buy. Is this the last round of awesome WWE DVDs for a while?

Kurt Angle DVD in March.

Rumored 3-disc WMXX DVD in April.

Divas in Mexico DVD some time after that.

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

That 3-Disc Wrestlemania 20 DVD should include a collection of the top 10 wrestlemania matches.

 

And if it doesn't have any matches, I'm going to turn into the Swamp Thing!

Wow, I want both of these then, AND the Foley DVD that I have yet to buy. Is this the last round of awesome WWE DVDs for a while?

Not yet...they'll keep going with Angle's DVD and Wrestlemania XX due out in March and April, respectively.

 

Don't know what's in the planning stages for post-Mania, though.

[Fökai 0]

...and to answer the question, it'd be the MNW DVD, simply because the Flair promo from Greensboro (09.14.98) is on there.

 

Both DVD's are worth the purchase, though.

 

I would go for the Monday Night Wars.

 

If only to see WWE revisionist history at work.

 

Actually, reviews have stated that the DVD does a great job of balancing credit for the success between WCW and WWE.

[geniusMoment 0]

These are both good dvd's but why didn't they go all out and make them 2 dvd or 3 dvd sets. I am still waiting for WWE to take full advantage of their library. Imagine an Austin dvd with:

Austin/Hart SurSer

Austin/Foley from raw (best raw match of 1996)

Austin/Hart Mania

Canadian Stampede main event

Austin and HBK/Owen and Bulldog

Austin and Dude/Bulldog and Owen (Dude's debut)

Austin/Owen Summerslam

Then add in all of his post neck injury stuff as well as all of his WCW stuff and that would easily be my favorite DVD ever.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Definitely MNW.
