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!

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Anyone have any clue what was the WWE's worst selling non PPV dvd? Actually, I read that Eddie's DVD sold poorly when originally released. When RVD's DVD came out it completely outsold it within a few days. Of course now Eddie's DVD has been selling again but I'm not sure about the numbers. I'm not saying it's the lowest-selling non-PPV set, but the low numbers really surprised me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DokDoyle 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 It got low numbers becausse everyone had saw it on national TV and the extra's were not enough to get people to buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 If that is the final matchlist then I'll pass. I already have the "Hulk Still Rules" set and the new Mania DVDs which feature the majority of the matches listed here, not to mention the SSlam 2005 DVD. Only the first disc and part of the third disc sound intriguing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Terrible list as most of those matches are already on DVD and seems more like just of a rehash Hogan's previous DVD set! Well, lets just hope a bunch of interviews or something will be extras, including Hogan's heel turn at BATB 96 including that classic speech. Stuff I would have liked to have seen on here: SNME Hulk Hogan Vs. The Boss Man in the Steel Cage Hulk Hogan Vs. The Honky Tonk Man Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior Vs. Mr. Perfect & The Genius Hulk Hogan & Psycho Sid Vs. Ric Flair & The Undertaker. PPV Matches Team Hogan Vs. Team Dibiase - SSeries 1989 Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior Vs. Sgt. Slaughter, Col. Mustafa, and General Adnan - The Match Made In Hell, SummerSlam 1991 Hulk Hogan Vs. Yokozuna - KOTR 1993, its significant because it was Hogan's final WWF match before he came back. Just For Kicks Hulk Hogan & Brutus Beefcake Vs. The Beverly Brothers - Grudges, Gripes, & Grunts Hulk Hogan & Roddy Piper Vs. Ric Flair & Sid Justice - Battle of the WWF Superstars 1992 Basically, more TV or taped for video matches would been nice. WCW Hulk Hogan & Bret Hart Vs. Randy Savage & Roddy Piper - GAB 98 or Hulk Hogan & Bret Hart Vs. The Warrior & Sting from Monday Nitro. Starrcade sucked, they should have picked Mayhem 1999 instead or the Monday Nitro world title match a few weeks prior to that. Those were better Sting matches.

And someone talked about the least-selling DVDs, I'm sure obscure ones like the 2004 diva search, Christmas in Irak, Best of confidential and DVDs from 2000 like Best of Raw Vol. 1&2 must be in the list.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Hogans best performances, workrate-wise, were in New Japan in the early 80's. It's a shame they didn't include more of his stuff, as he was very over, and worked his ass off.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Another match I saw that surprised me with Hogan was against Savage at Maple Leaf Garden. They showed it on 24/7 in December I think. Hogan actually finishes the match surprisingly with a small package after Savage missed the elbow if I recall correctly. They should put stuff like that on the DVD. I'm sure those matches have hardly been seen and Hogan actually looks motivated in those days to put on solid matches. Hogan vs. Hart from nitro is a gem because that's the only time they ever wrestled to my knowledge. I liked some of Deon's match selections too. Some of those need to be on DVD quality like Hogan and Sid vs. Taker and Flair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Pounds 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Apparently, the Managers DVD isn't that good. I've read that there's also a lot of kayfabe in the DVD, with stuff like "Managers are always good because they can scout the opponent before the match, so you have an early advantage". But it's only stuff I've read, I didn't see it for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, they don't. I'm all for 16:9, but I'm against modifying the OAR. Just about everything from WWE was originally aired in 4:3, so they would have to modify the OAR in order to present material in 16:9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
