WWE announces 2006 DVDs

Recommended Posts

I am so getting that Brian Pillman DVD. I'd personally like to hear what guys like HHH & HBK would have to say about Pillman. Like maybe if he had survived his health situation, and survived, maybe he could've been able to work with Hunter. Or, then again, maybe not. But, I'm still getting that Pillman DVD, and I can't wait to see how he's remembered.

Definitely an awesome list, and I'll be getting a few of them. I'm shocked that they're making a Pillman DVD... we haven't even gotten a Kurt Angle set yet.

They must be saving something for the Angle DVD

Yeah...Vince wants him to die in the ring...then release the DVD...that's why he put the belt on him...

That is a bit too dark of humor for me.

 

On the Pillman DVD I would love to see the Fall Brawl match Pillman had versus Johnny B. Badd. It is a great match that has kind of been forgotten.

I'll be picking up all of them (well, maybe not the Cena DVD), as usual.

 

From WWE.com:

WWE has announced a list of upcoming DVDs to look for on store shelves in the coming months. In addition to the upcoming pay-per-view DVDs, the list includes:

*Austin vs. McMahon: The Definitive Collection

*Brian Pillman: Loose Cannon

*Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology

*Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story

*The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA

*John Cena: The Time is Now

*The World's Greatest Wrestling Managers

*The American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story (2-disc)

*ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches (comes out in a few days)

*WWE Divas Do New York

*ECW Blood Sport: The Most Violent Matches -- Volume II

 

-The ones in bold are the most recently added DVDs.

 

 

I'll get the ECW,AWA, and Roddy for sure.

The Pillman DVD kinda surprises me

I'll pass on the Hogan and Dusty ones. I never cared for either one of them...

If the blurring of the WWF scratch logo bothers you, the Austin-McMahon DVD will be your own personal hell.

 

And why is there a Hogan anthology coming out? Didn't they just do a multiple-disc Hogan compilation like 2 years ago?

Yeah, but it was released right before WWF had to switch to WWE, so it was kind of fucked and couldn't sell it as long.

 

You're wrong. It came out after the name switch.

 

 

 

WWE Divas Do New York

 

Yeah...that's not a misleading title.

This comment has already been explained and defended twice by two people (myself and S_D) but hey, why not a 3rd time?

 

The DVD came out a mere 3-4 months after the switch to WWE. As such, they were allowed to release videos that didn't blur logos (this woud effect Hogan's 2002 return) or mute the intials "WWF" (this effects everything else). By 2003, just 4 months after the DVDs release, everything had to be blurred and muted.

Why do we need an Austin vs. McMahon "anthology"? The old VHS had a great documentary on it that was only recently eclipsed by the ECW one.

 

The Hogan anthology is a must buy, especially if it's "Hulkamania" I-VI. One of them (the second one I think) is entirely about his feud with Andre, and in between matches, Hulk is interviewed in a boat out on some lake. I've always remembered that for some reason.

 

I still want a second Flair set, a Rock set and a Kurt Angle release. Why they haven't released anything for him since the "It's True It's True" video is beyond me.

 

A second Benoit set wouldn't hurt, either. Neither would a second Shawn set.

There's been a second set, I don't think we need a third already.

The John Cena set.

 

The more I think of this, the more it annoys me. What, exactly, has he done since his last DVD that they can even put on a second one? The title win that's already on the Mania DVD? Music from his oh, so successful CD? The family BBQ video?

You have to figure they will recycle the matches from the first dvd and add a couple other matches (including the WM match, his match with Benoit, the JBL rematch that got alot of inital praise, the Jericho match). Plug in a couple of his videos as extras, some of his promotional stuff, a trailer for the movie. There's your dvd.

I don't think so.

Watch the DVD. None of the logos are blurred and all mentions of "WWF" are still in there, so they only had 6 months to be able to distribute it.

 

Well, shut my mouth. I stand corrected.

 

Anyway, anybody want to take a stab at how they'd address Miss Elizabeth and her life after wrestling on the managers DVD?

Well I'd much rather that than Flair 2

Has there? Since the "From the Vault" release?

 

I'm really not a DVD person, but I'm definitely getting the Pillman disc when it comes out. And maybe the AWA...I dunno.

I think he's counting the Boyhood Dream DVD that was a quickie transfer

It would be funny if Austin was still on bad terms with Vince and they pulled a Warrior on him. Vince can claim he carried the feud and only reason Austin was popular was because people really wanted to see him get his ass kicked.

 

Vince and DX (Hunter and Shawn) can claim they were the reason the WWF was successful and Austin just rode the wave.

Honestly, a Pillman DVD from WWE sorta surprises me. I think this means we'll be seeing Rhodes and Pillman both inducted to the Hall of Fame this year.

I like the idea of a "greatest manager" DVD, but what kind of matches are gonna be on it?!

 

The DVD will likely be loaded with classic promos, skits and beatings from each manager.

Why have matches it should be a 3 hour feature about how great Bobby Heenan, Jim Cornette, Jimmy Hart, Percy Pringle, Paul Heyman are.

Don't forget The Grand Wizard, Freddie Blassie, Lou Albano, and Mr. Fuji!

 

If there is a God, Slick will be feature too... AND HIS MUSIC VIDEO!

Well, the first DVD ended with Christmas in Iraq. So I'm guessing its going to follow his United States Championship run up until late in his WWE Championship run at say SSeries 05.

 

I just hope some of the extra matches are the Parking Lot Brawl with Eddie and he had a match with the Undertaker on the final SD before GAB 04 that I really enjoyed since it was face / face.

And again. What has he done in that time period that is worthy of an entirely new DVD. His slew of ** matches? The latest version of the same exact promo? Maybe its just a way to unload that God forsaken album as some kind of "bonus"

 

I don't see a reason for the casual, non die hard Cena fan to buy this because lets face it, there has never been a John Cena match that people say "Well, I really need to own that so I can watch it repeatedly!"

 

And even the die hard fans, not enough has happened or changed since the last DVD to warrant a new one. The matches they'd care enough to watch, the US title win and the WWE title win, are on the Mania DVDs which you have to assume they'd already own. And hell, even if you want to put that on anyway, is that enough material to create a new DVD?

 

I just can't justify this when we still have nothing of note on Angle, nothing of note on Jericho, no Four Horseman DVD, have barely scratched the surface of Flair, or hell, The Rock.

AWA's DVD will be great, as now I can guess Jesse Ventura will get more pub on it than The Crusher, Dr. X, Wilbur Snyder etc...

 

 

My AWA DVD:

 

Ric Flair, Bob Remus (Sarge), and a few other future stars in early squash matches from 73ish

 

Crusher/Bruiser vs Blackjacks

Verne vs Billy Robinson

Verne vs Nick Bockwinkel

Greg Gagne/Jim Brunzell vs Patera/Blackwell

Hulk Hogan vs Bockwinkel

Road Wariors vs Freebirds

Lawler vs Hennig

Mid Rockers vs Rose/Somers (or Badd Company)

Sarge vs Stan Hansen

 

Make the Turkey on a pole battle royal an extra and load it with Heenan. Hogan, SS Graham, Bockwinkel, Freebirds , Crusher, Mad Dog builds a Casket etc promos

Go ahead and defend the statement 4, 5, 6, or 100 more times. It'll still be wrong.

I want these dvds! geez vince keeps taking our money with no shame

 

Im interested to see what will be on the pillman one.
