World Wrestling Entertainment continues to churn out new DVD releases. The latest planned releases will feature titles on Rob Van Dam, Andre the Giant, and the Intercontinental championship:

 

Rob Van Dam - One Of A Kind Scheduled for release 1/4/05, this will be an in-depth look at Van Dam, similar to the recent Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero DVDs. The disc will feature footage of Van Dam as Robby V in WCW, as well as bouts from ECW, his King of the Ring match against Chris Jericho, his ladder match vs. Christian on Raw and more.

 

WWE: Best Of Intercontinental Championship Matches

Scheduled to be released 1/25/05, I believe this is a re-release of an older video release from the Coliseum Home Video days based on the match listing, which features Shawn Michaels vs. Crush, Bret Hart vs. Skinner (Tuesday in Texas PPV), and Shawn Michaels vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan (Early Monday Night Raw taping). The DVD is slated to be 90 minutes long.

 

Andre The Giant

Scheduled to be released 1/25/05, this is another 90 minute re-release of an older Coliseum Home Video release, with Lord Alfred Hayes hosting bouts including the angle where Andre had his hair cut by the Heenan Family, teaming with Jimmy Snuka vs. the Wild Samoans, a Battle Royal and more.

I'm down for all three. The IC title release is most likely from the Columbia House collection, as the only CV release on the subject came out in 1987.

[The Mandarin 0]

Wow, how awful.

[Guest LooneyTune]

OK, NOW I'm sold on the RVD release. His WWF/E matches have either been shit or pretty good (almost always the former), but I'd like to see some of his WCW stuff and could always use some ECW in my collection.

[Guest Astro]

I'm all over the Andre thing

[NYU 0]

I'll be first in line for that Rob Van Dam DVD.

[Big McLargeHuge 0]

So when's that Bret Hart DVD coming out?

 

Really looking forward to the RVD release. I've already made my feelings on the content/matches known in the other thread.

Hopefully the RVD DVD's release will force WWE to actually do something with the guy again...when's the last time he's even done anything meaningful on TV?

[Guest LooneyTune]

September 2002 when he officially kissed the main event good bye (That doesn't include being part of 6-person World Title matches)

HBK vs. RVD

 

Monday Night Raw

 

World Heavyweight Title.

 

Either late November or early December, 2002.

Maven was in the main on Monday, doesn't mean he's in the upper card.

HBK vs. RVD

 

Monday Night Raw

 

World Heavyweight Title.

 

Either late November or early December, 2002.

That was actually a pretty decent match until, I think, Hunter ran in and ruined everything. I could be wrong in terms of the details of the finish though.

It was a shitty match.

 

And then the guys went through the motions with their "big moves"...

 

Interference from HHH.

 

= * 1/2

Yeah, Rob frogsplashed Micheals, pinned him, and Triple H ran down and pulled him off at two. Pedigreed Rob on the outside and then beat up of HBK.

According to prowrestlinghistory.com The best of the Intercontinental Championship video should have these matches(if it's a direct copy of the video)

 

Shawn Michaels vs. Crush, 06/13/93

Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty, 1993(they don't say which one)

Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect, Sumerslam 93

Shawn Michaels vs. Jim Duggan , Raw May 93

Bret Hart vs. Skinner, This Tuesday in Texas

Awesome, I actually liked the ladder match against Christian, now I get to have a copy of it.

[razazteca 0]

How many Coliseum Home Videos did HBK have?

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

why the christian match? It should be the Eddy Guerrero ladder match instead.

[The Decemberists 0]

Because that one's on the Eddie DVD.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

How many Coliseum Home Videos did HBK have?

 

3 as far as I can think of.

 

Hits From The Heartbreak Kid (93 - 94)

 

Best Hits From The Heartbreak Kid (95 - 96)

 

Heartbreak Express Tour (96 - 97)

[Dandy 0]

I want Rob's Hardcore Title Match against Jeff Hardy, the first one they had on Rob's PPV debut in the Alliance period. Been trying to find it for download forever and all I can get is their ladder match from the next PPV.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

For reference sake, that's on the InVasion ppv (July 2001).

Didn't they have Boyhood Dream as well?

Its just a re-release of The Heartbreak Express tour from when Michaels won at WM 12 to getting the title back at RR 97.

[Jericholic82 0]

yknow the other day I was looking at an old Raw magazine (June/July 97) and they had an ad for the Heartbreak Express Tour and I notcied that it cost $39.95 for the original VHS version DAMN

 

I remember wanting to get that video because I thought it had the full matches on there

His WWE matches are way better than anything he did in ECW or WCW. WWE forcing him to tone down his style actually slightly improved his shitty psychology and made him less spotty.

[Guest LooneyTune]

But he also dogs his matches about 100x more than ever. I can't even think of 1 good match he's had in the last year.

RVD or Shawn Michaels?... I'm Guessing RVD right?

[brighty 0]

here's what's on the RVD DVD, from silvervision.co.uk;

 

There's nobody in sports entertainment like Rob Van Dam. Period. Opponents and fans alike expect the unexpected when the self-proclaimed "Whole F'n Show" strikes with his high-flying, martial arts-based style.

 

Follow his amazing career on this 2-disc, 6-hour journey from WCW, to ECW, and finally, WWE, with 16 complete matches, hosted and introduced by RVD himself. Plus...over an hour of bonus features, interviews, promos and more. RVD truly is ONE OF A KIND.

Not a bad line-up. Shame the Hardcore match between him and Jericho from Unforgiven had to be cut due to the WWF name bullshit, I liked that match of theirs better.
