Scroby Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Wait is this DVD actually hitting the U.S. also or is that only a U.K. release?
King Cucaracha Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Looks pretty swank...especially the Pillman memorial match. My only problem is the Cage Match, seeing as the only distinguishing features of the match are already on Bloodbath. Still...Buy buy buy!
The Mandarin Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Sounds killer. Too bad I already have Benoit/Angle RR03 and the WrestleMania triple threat on DVD. Oh well, the rest will make up for it.
tbondrage99 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Awesome DVD, it will be mine, oh yes...it will be mine.
Guest wildpegasus Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 I wonder if they'll show the complete IWGP title match? I already have it but it'd be nice to see. I just hope they have an option of the original Japanese track because I don't want the beauty of the Japanese matches to be altered. I only want the masses to see them in their true form. And speaking of commentary don't put any on Benoit vs Regal! Leave that masterpiece of a match as it is.
pochorenella Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 I just hope they have an option of the original Japanese track Highly unlikely, I believe. Two audio tracks on three different matches should be the final result. The only WWF/E release with three different audio tracks was WM2000, only for the Euro-Continental match, and maybe the SummerSlam 1999 DVD, on the main event, although I'm not 100% sure about that one since I don't own it. Several other PPV releases had the english and spanish commentary but lately they only put the original track, with the exception of the WMXX DVD. Bottom line, I think a third audio track would occupy much-needed disc space. But it would be a neat surprise, though not likely since it would only be wanted by the smart audience, not the general fan. Regarding the Pillman show match, I've never seen it, but I'm sure there are bootleg copies around, or is there a video available, and does it have commentary?
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 No commentary. You should be able to get it from any decent dealer.
JHawk Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Wait is this DVD actually hitting the U.S. also or is that only a U.K. release? When I picked up hall of Fame today, they had "Chris Benoit July 2004" listed in the coming soon section. So either it's coming out in the US or they're teasing us.

Don't forget- Eddie Guerrero September 2004 Rise and Fall of ECW November 2004
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Oh my God... The WWE didn't screw it up!

DMann2003 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Nevermind meant for this to go in the HOF DVD section.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 And no match with Malenko? Aww, I'm sure the Eddie DVD will more than make up for the lack of Malenko. Well, at least we have two Deano matches on the Mysterio DVD. I skipped that one. Maybe I'll see it somwhere for 6 bucks or something. I'll get it for Deano. PS. when is this cocksucker released?
cynicalprofit Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 *MARKSOUTLIKEAMOFO* This will be so fuckign sweet. I can't beleive j-cup matches are comming on dvd....with commentary.....*drools* This will freaking rock.....now I must get this and the Flair and Foley dvds.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Skip the Foley DVD, cynicalprofit. It sucks. Nonsense. Its worth the cash to have a lot of that stuff on dvd. His ECW is exceptionally memorable from a first time viewers perspective. I really haven't gotten into much of the second disk outside of the Austin match, but in the long run the disk is worth owning.
Internet Warfare Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 It seems like a great DVD. If I dont spend my money I could probably buy for the ECW, WCW and Pillman show match(s). I dont like the name "Hard Knocks" for some reason, but atleast they didnt call it "Toothless Agression"
Styles Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Awesome DVD, especially the Japan matches, the Pillman Memorial match and Owen Tribute match. I am a little disappointed that the Austin match from May 01 is not on there. I've been waiting forever to see that match again and I thought for sure they're put it on a Benoit DVD. O well, the rest looks awesome.
Guest Nanks Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Mate, that looks pretty awesome. I've never actually bought a wrestler-tribute DVD, but there is a good chance that trend could be broken now. Hard Knocks is a cool name for it too I reckon. The ONLY thing I'm somewhat surprised isn't on there is a Dynamite Kid match with Chris commentating or something.
Michrome Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 My only complaint is that they chose the wrong Benoit-Black Tiger match, but I assume the 96 one is being saved for Eddy's DVD.
Guest Choken One Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 foley jobbed a good deal of the matches on his dvd...How many does Benoit job in here? I only counted one...(angle)...but i don't know the ECW and Japan history..
The Mandarin Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 foley jobbed a good deal of the matches on his dvd...How many does Benoit job in here? I only counted one...(angle)...but i don't know the ECW and Japan history.. How about the Owen tribute vs. Bret, vs. Angle (cage)?
Guest Askewniverse Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 foley jobbed a good deal of the matches on his dvd...How many does Benoit job in here? I only counted one...(angle)...but i don't know the ECW and Japan history.. Six, by my count. Chris Benoit vs. Too Cold Scorpio - WCW SuperBrawl Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero - WCW Monday Nitro (10/16/95) Chris Benoit vs. Booker T - Great American Bash 1998 Chris Benoit vs. Bret Hart - Owen Hart Tribute Match Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle - Steel Cage Match, Raw (6/11/01) Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle - Royal Rumble 2003
Guest Choken One Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Gotcha... I wasn't sure which Best of 7 match they took (i don't remember who won which)... Six? Wow. but two of those six matches were ****3/4+...so it's ok. The scorpio match is a odd one...I mean...It's not a LEGENDARY match and Benoit had many other ***3/4 matches...kinda shocked they put it on when they could have easily stuck a more recent WWE Match on there (such as his Fully Loaded Match with the Rock or the jericho ladder match)...
Adam Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 I'm VERY happy with the ontent of that DVD. I'll certainly be buying it as soon as it comes out down here. I havent seen much of Benoits work in Japan or ECW, so I'm really loking forward to this. As for the Foley DVD, I loved it. I hadn't seen his ECW stuff and the Cane Dewey Promo befoe I got the DVD, only heard about them. The DVD was awesome, i definately recommend that anyone buys it if they are a fan of Foley.
spman Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 Amazon.com lists July 27th as the release date for this.
Lil' Bitch Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 The GAB match was the final match in the Best of Seven series even though it was the eighth match due to the controversy of the last match held on Thunder. Match #4 is on the MNW DVD. Anyone know who actually got to pick the matches? If not for the blur crap, I'm sure the Ultimate Submission match would have been on there, its one of Benoit's favorites.
cynicalprofit Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 Wasn't the Scorpio match infact benoit's first american ppv debut? If so thats probably why they put it on, that and its a good match.
