WM VII was always going to be Hogan/Warrior II, but when they felt Warrior was flopping they went to Hogan/Slaughter.

 

--Here are the matches in the upcoming WWE DVD release of "Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen," which includes interviews with Flair, Tully Blanchard, J.J. Dillon, Jim Ross, Dean Malenko, Barry Windham and Dusty Rhodes:

Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard & Ric Flair vs. Pez Whatley & Italian Stallion & Rocky King 6/22/85

Ric Flair vs. Ricky Morton cage match from Charlotte on 7/5/86. As I recall, this was an awesome match

Dusty Rhodes vs. Tully Blanchard First Blood match Starrcade 86. I was at that show and this was not an awesome match

Four Horseman vs. Dusty Rhodes & Steve Williams & Lex Luger & Nikita Koloff & Paul Ellering 7/16/88 in a War Games match

Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs. Sting & Nikita Koloff 7/16/88

Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs. Barry Windham & Lex Luger 3/27/88 Clash of Champions

Arn Anderson vs. Ric Flair 9/17/95 Fall Brawl

Yeah, I know, it could have taken any fan from that era five minutes to come up with a far better match listing.

 

 

 

That had better be a RUMORED match listing. It should be a 3-disk DVD chronicling all the Horsemen eras of the NWA/WCW.

That's actually not that bad of DVD, but they really need to hit the SD stuff from the fall: Eddie vs. Edge (No DQ), Angle vs. Benoit vs. Rey, Edge & Rey vs. Benoit & Angle (2/3 Falls), etc.

 

I'd buy a Raw DVD with a bunch of the stuff ranging from Benoit's 2004 debut and the summer. There were several really good multi-man tags and Benoit vs. HBK among others.

That Booker/Benoit match I believe is best remembered for two things.

 

Booker wins thanks to Sharmell, leading to him officially turning heel the next week.

 

Benoit hits his back on the edge of the table in a botched suicide dive.

I guess that means when 24/7 shows it it wil be the "championship" one with the popups. still Ill buy it, cuz the quality will be better then just rcording it to dvd myself, plus my cable company sucks with 24/7 alot of freezing and glitching with the video happens

 

in other news last week I did buy the dx dvd for the hell of it, from what I watched so far its a pretty good production (even if alot of stuff was already on the vengeance bonus disc) but its pretty detailed, covering almost every week since the dx reformation.

The Four Horsemen DVD is now officially a 2-disc set, so we can possibly expect a few more matches to be known in the next weeks.

Are you sure? I really hope so, because even THEY know that they can do so much better than that current line-up.

I read it on 411mania.com. They usually report stuff already posted on other sites so it's a safe bet it's true.

I got the wm 3 one, decent extras but could have used the footage of Andres heel turn

 

NYR dvd has only 2 extras: Cena vs K-Fed from 1/1/07 RAW, and "Rosie vs Donald" from 1/8/07 (it shows all the clips of rosie backstage as well)

 

Rumble dvd, extras are only: Short Taker/Kane backstage moment after the show, Vince Mcmahon's Fan appreciation night the next night on RAW (interrupted by Trump and his falling money scheme), plus Cena/HBK win the tag titles from Rated RKO (full match)

I'm not sure what other footage of Andre's heel turn there is to see though. He turned heel on Piper's pit and probably did a few interviews leading up to SNME and Mania. There's probably not much else left to show.

They should have put Hogan's interview from the Snake Pit on the WM III DVD: CE as an extra as well. (Unless its already on Roberts DVD, I'm not sure?)

 

Sucks to hear the Coliseum Home Video Exclusives weren't put as extras either. Thank God I still have my tapes!

For the ones who own the WM III:CE, did they go easy with some of themes being used or is it still just the same Anthology version only with extras added?

Blockbuster is starting to sell and rent the WWE DVDs again too. They started with Royal Rumble and are scheduled to get No Way Out on its release this Tuesday (3/20). Both Rumble and No Way Out have Blockbuster Exclusive Bonus Discs, making them both 2 Disc sets. I got the Rumble one, but I am not sure what the extra extras are yet because I haven't had time to check it out.

Thats good I guess since the only available videos to rent nowadays sports wise is UFC and various other MMA events. And the only wrestling was backyard crap or the fake fight club crap.

Got this from rajah.com

 

In Silver Vision's latest newletter, they talked about some upcoming DVD releases WWE is planning on doing. Silver Vision is WWE's DVD distributor in the UK.

 

- The Mr. Perfect DVD set will be called "The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect" and it will be a two disc set. It will be released later this year.

 

DVD projects scheduled for release in early 2008 are as follows:

 

- A twenty disc Summerslam Anthology DVD set will be released.

 

- A two disc set on Batista will be released.

 

- Another Shawn Michaels DVD set is in the works.

 

- A Hell In The Cell DVD set is also scheduled to be released.

 

In other DVD-related news, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that the scheduled three disc "Best Of The Rock" DVD set has been put on hiatus. WWE asked The Rock if he could promote the DVD set when it was to be released in June, but he refused. So well, they might not be releasing it after all.

 

There goes another $200+ for the Summerslam Box Set.

Agreed, the Summerslam one i will definetly have to pick up. Ditto on the Mr Perfect DVD. Hell in a cell and HBK are a possibility depending on the matches they select.

Big Boss Man's "HARD TIME" theme is on the Rumble '93 DVD against Bam Bam, yet edited out and replaced with the evil Bossman theme circa '98-'02 on the WM Anthology DVDs. Thank you WWE for wising up. Haven't checked the other Rumble DVDs for themes yet.

 

"There goes another $200+ for the Summerslam Box Set."

 

Download 'em!

 

Theme check:

 

1993 Rumble: "HARD TIMES"

1990 Rumble: Attitude era theme. That would be because he's a heel here, I guess, and Jimmy Hart owns Jive Soul Bro.

 

Beverly Brothers theme is different.

The Beverly Brothers theme was generic (and therefore I assume JJJ) music, wonder why they'd change that?

werid when wwe dubs oven genrci music with other generic music huh?

 

and why cant they use jive soul bro? makes no sense, jimmy also wrote shawns theme and they have no problem with it. vince is such a cheap guy I guess

 

as for the wm 3 CE dvd they have edited Kokos theme and dubbed it over with "Piledriver" , and Hillbilly Jims theme with generic country (and they even had to have Finkel dub over announcements here) and yes steamboats as well. plus the post show video package uses aretha singing the national anthem again instead of that other song originally used. thats about it. I dont have the anthology set so I dont know if that differs or not. but its still kind abetter than my "Legacy" vhs version which cuts directly to vince in the ring to start the show cutting the opening titles, and also clips hogans post-match cleebration so you miss Andre leaving. but it has the proper themes so I guess its a tradeoff
