Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted July 22, 2005 According to the daily Figure Four Weekly update, WWE is planning on releasing numerous DVD's by the end of the year. They are all confirmed, and Bryan Alverez even read the previews in the update. In the fall, besides the already annouced three disc Undertaker set and the Ultimate Warrior set, there will also be a legends release focused on Jake the Snake. Then, just in time for Christmas, WWE will be releasing Screwed: The Bret Hart Story which will be a three disc set and the Ultimate Wrestlemania Collection, which is a box set of all 21 WM's. The set will be priced at around $300, but it can be bought in sets of five. All of these sound pretty good on the surface to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I just hope the Bret Hart set focuses on more than just Montreal '97. It obcviously has to be acknowledged, but enough already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edotherocket 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I'm not liking the name of the Bre Hart DVD. If its 3 discs, it's likely to cover his whole career but the focus shouldn't be on Montreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I'm thinking it'll be a Coliseum Video transfer like the Andre DVD. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, its the second release in the legends series (Greatest Stars of the 80's being the first. 3 discs for the Screwed DVD? is this just about the Montreal screwjob or a complete Bret DVD? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It sounded as though it spanned his whole career as in the preview it said something to the likes of, "Also includes all the details of Montreal '97".

Guest JMA Report post Posted July 22, 2005 If the DVD was about Bret's full career, then why would it have "Screwed" in the title? It doesn't make any sense. And if it just focuses on the Montreal screw-job, then why is it three disks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest StylesMark Report post Posted July 22, 2005 But, that's what most people talk about, when it comes to Bret. Sad, but true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted July 22, 2005 But, that's what most people talk about, when it comes to Bret. Sad, but true. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Montreal has already been discussed to death, though. I'd much rather the DVD focus on how wrestlers like Bret brought back an emphasis on technical wrestling and not cartoonish gimmicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest *KNK* Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Because "Screwed" is firmly entrenched in the lexicon of Bret Hart's name. It's true. Remember Bret was working with Vince to set this dvd up, im assuming Bret was ok with the name. I just hope Bret didn't get his way and they included the iron man with shawn in there.

Bret and Shane McMahon got in a fight over something about a year ago and the decision was made to remove him from the project. So, unless something has happened since then, Bret has nothing to do with this DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 The latest Observer (the one dated for this monday, I get them early) says Bret and Vince are back talking, this time with no intermediaries. McMahon is attempting to get Hart to come to WM next year and be inducted into the Hall of Shame...er...I mean Fame as well as put out a DVD of his career. WWE is also trying to get the rights to Hart's career encyclopedia book because a) they know it'll be the best selling book in Canada and b) they want to neuter aspects of the book. They are going through with production of the DVD whether Bret is a part of it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 I have my hopes up for the Bret Hart & Jake Roberts DVD's so I'll see how that comes out. With Bret talking with Vince again that's pretty cool as I want him inducted into the Hall of Fame. In fact, if they could get back on track and organize a match for a future WrestleMania that'd kick some serious ass as McMahon vs. Bret is about the last big match that hasn't been used yet.

Guest Ransome Report post Posted July 23, 2005 Did you guys miss the Wrestlemania box set? I know it will be hard watch with the WW"bleep" and blurred logos. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't have any of the other Wrestlemanias on video/DVD, and there are still some Wrestlemanias I've never seen in full (2, 4, 5, 8 seem to be impossible to find in any Adelaide video store anymore), so I'd be tempted to buy this boxset. I can overlook the blurring of Wrestlemanias 14-18, particularly if they pad out the Wrestlemanias with plenty of extras, interviews or bonus matches, which is clearly a possibility given the enormous amount of video footage WWE has access to.

Slickster 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 Warrior will get no $$ from this DVD. Apparently, he wanted to advert for his shoot interview inside the DVD case, but Vince said no (since it would benefit Warrior far more than it would benefit WWE). So this whole DVD set is being done without his cooperation. It includes bloopers from his interviews and WWE stars doing their best Warrior impressions as extras.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 ...copied from the DVDVR board... Street Date November 1: -WM 1-21 box set will retail for $299.95 and will include special trading cards and such. -WM 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, and 16-20 box sets will retail for $69.95 each. -WWE Legends: Jake "The Snake" Roberts will retail for $34.95 Street Date November 15: -Screwed: The Bret Hart Story will retail for $34.95. I can't wait. That eliminates about 50% of my paycheck, but I'm so picking them all up on their release dates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
