Six-Disc HULKAMANIA DVD Set?

Recommended Posts

I found this excerpt in a wrestling column that our local newspaper runs in print and on the internet. I have no clue as to whether it's true, but it'll be kinda cool if it is:

 

"In the big book for upcoming video/DVD releases from Trans World Entertainment, which is the parent corporation for video and music retailers such as FYE and Coconuts Music & Movies, there is another Hulk Hogan DVD set in the works.

 

The set is titled “HULKAMANIA” and it’s a six-disc set that will cost $44.95 and be released this spring. The Wrestling Observer reports that the six-disc DVD set could be re-releases of the Coliseum Video Hulkamania tapes released during the 1980's and 1990s."

 

Again, take this for what it's worth. Hopefully it's true, even though it's Hogan, I'm always up for some good nostalgia.

 

Any thoughts, or has anyone heard anything about this?

Ooooh, I'd forgotten about that . . . . I wonder how they'll get around that? If they blank-out every instance of an announcer saying "Hulk", it'll sound like something similar to crap. Maybe they'll work out some sort of one-time royalty or something of the sort in order to release the set.

 

Or, the other possibility is that this is as bogus as a backalley horseracing bet. I'd love to see another Hogan set, but it could just be a cruel joke :angry:

 

Or would RELEASING the set be a cruel joke? Discuss :P

It would be great if they showed a split second of him saying "Hollywood" every time the word "Hulk" was said.

Yeah, it could be like watching an edited movie on network TV, where all of the foul language is replaced with the same actor (or a similar voice) saying "crap" instead of "shit" or something like that.

 

That would be too much fun to watch. Methinks I'd waste an entire weekend counting "Hollywood" voiceovers on a six-disc set.

 

Or not.

 

:P

Too bad 3 of the Coliseum Videos (IV, V, VI) sucked and the other 3 (I-III) I already have. Plus the fact that any mention of "Hulk" "Hulkster" or "Hulkamania" will not be allowed due to the agreement with Marvel expiring last summer.

 

Maybe a best of Hollywood Hogan DVD from WCW would sell? Basically an nWo DVD, except not really.

Why didn't Vince just make a new deal with Marvel? That's pretty valuable part of his companies history.

I think Vince already has worked a new deal with them. I believe that if he came back now, they would have to pay to call him "Hulk". But since they owned it then, I believe they would be able to call him "Hulk" in the old footage, considering that they had a deal worked out when it was originally used.

They edited out the word Hulk during a match shown on Byte This I heard (Hogan/T v. Piper/Orndorff from WM 1), so I guess it doesn't matter when the name was licensed for use, it doesn't count anymore.

 

See also: WWF. Any mention of WWF from older matches on recent DVD's have been edited out.

VI has the Hogan/Hansen match which is easily one of his best.

 

IV & V are pretty bad, but there's at least one or two decent Savage matches on there.

Is this WWE release or another company releasing the old colieseum videos?

I'd be down. The first three releases are excellent by Hogan standards and include some fun stuff from WWF TV in the '80s that wasn't within the squared circle (i.e. Alfred Hayes getting sick from the Hogan health shake on TNT). The last three are pretty lackluster, although there's some good stuff here and there sprinkled in, like a SNME match against Bad News Brown, a lumberjack match against Ted Dibiase and a match from one of the Japan tours against Stan Hansen.

I might as well post all of this right here:

 

In the big book for upcoming video/DVD releases from Trans World Entertainment, which is the parent corporation for video and music retailers such as FYE and Coconuts Music & Movies, there is another Hulk Hogan DVD set in the works. It's titled HULKAMANIA and it's a 6-Disc Set that will cost $44.95 and be released this spring.

 

This DVD set is more than likely going to be a re-release of the six Hulkamania Coliseum Home Videos that were released in the '80s and 90s. It should be interesting to see if any editing will occur what with the many "WWF" references and "Hulk Hogan" references that are bound to occur in those old videos. Due to the Marvel lawsuit, Hulk Hogan has been been referred to as "Hollywood Hogan" when his name is mentioned on either television or in print. Perhaps it has been resolved and Hogan can be known as Hulk Hogan in WWE again. We shall see.

 

If this 6-disk DVD set are indeed re-releases of the Coliseum Video Hulkamania tapes, than these are the matches and segments you can expect to see.

I'll get it just because it has the match from SNME where Andre won the title, because I've never seen it, and it sounds like a real mindfuck. Shit, it has ALL the stuff from the 87-88 Andre program.

 

Oh yeah, I'd want this. Shame it doesn't have shit from his 1993 run also.

Does anyone not understand that the title of these DVDs are still HULKamania? If they can have the name in the title of the DVDs, then I don't see why it couldn't be in the commentary.

I counted 8 Good-great matches on that set list that i know i've seen and i haven't seen ALL those matches so if I neglected a goody, lemme know

 

12/14/86 Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Orndorff (steel cage match)

03/07/88 Randy Savage vs. Ted DiBiase

06/25/86 Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage

03/18/89 Hulk Hogan vs. Big Bossman (steel cage match)

02/16/89 Hulk Hogan vs. Badnews Brown

10/10/89 Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage

04/01/90 Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior (Warrior wins WWF World Title)

04/13/90 Hulk Hogan vs. Stan Hansen

 

in addition to about 2-3 more rather significant and historic matches (WM3, Andre title switch, first title win etc)

 

and it's shocked with nostalgic goodness.

 

im going to get this. I'll need to see the Box first though. I wonder if it'll be a Six single discs Box set or one of those nifty packages where they go in one whole box. I'm pretty sure it's the former.

Here's some other fun matches:

 

06/17/84 Hulk Hogan vs. David Schultz

01/25/88 Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Ted DiBiase & Virgil (Had a good ending sequence plus Bam Bam knocking Andre on his ass had me marking out)

10/31/89 Hulk Hogan vs. Lanny Poffo (If for no other reason, to see The Genius get a win over Hogan)

When I first saw that match on SNME I just couldn't believe Lanny Poffo got a win from Hogan, even if it was just by countout. BTW, is Mr. Perfect smashing the Title Belt after the match also included here?

No, sorry. The segment starts w/ the sound of the bell starting the match and ends w/ Perfect/Poffo running from ringside.

If this is Hulkamania what are there two Savage/DiBiase matches? I know Hogan interferes in the WM 4 match and I'm presuming he does in the 3/7 match but why include Savage's title win on Hogan's tape?

 

BTW, I'm all over this when it comes out. I have Hulkamania 2 and 6 that I rented and dubbed and I'm a huge mark for nostalgia.

Just for the record, I probably will buy this since it's pretty cheap for 6 DVD's, but non-Hogan fans will probably not enjoy them.

 

Some Guy: I'm not sure, but I'm guessing those Savage/Dibiase matches are clipped. It makes sense though, since the whole tape is about the Hogan/Andre feud from WM III until the title controversy from the Dibiase/Andre/Hogan scenario.

later in the show, they showed footage from the 92 Rumble, and they didn't edit when Monsoon said on commentary "Hulkster" and also when Ric Flair was on the phone later in the show, he said the initials "WWF" several times and I was surprised they weren't edited out as I didn't watch the show live.

The WWE set for Flair came out months before the Hogan problems with Marvel. I didn't noticed the "WWF" comment though. I noticed on the Undertaker: He Buries Them Alive, however, several "WWF" comments are cut out quite obviously.
