Two quick DVD questions

[Mik 0]

Was wondering if you can help a sporadic at best wrestling fan out a little bit...

 

I just watched the Hogan anthology DVD and was pretty pleased with it. I see that there is an Undertaker one out as well. Any good? Is it comprehensive?

 

And secondly, are there any plans for a similar "career" DVD for Shawn Michaels that anyone knows about?

 

Thanks in advance.

from what I've seen of the take set "Tombstone" it seemed pretty well done.

 

As for Shawn, I haven't heard anything about a set for him, (though there is a 3 disc D-X DVD coming out next year). Shawn probably won't get a big set until he retires, or goes extremely parttime (ala Taker)

"Shawn Michaels: From the Vault" is a couple years old..its probably like the old Hogan set, not very complete since its only 2 discs and doesn't include anything post 2003 since thats when it came out. Wouldnt surprise me in the least if they put another one out at some point..

I bought "Tombstone : The History Of The Undertaker" and it's overall pretty good. Altough the packaging is a piece of fucking shit. It's just 3 discs stacked on top of each other in basically a thick paper DVD case.

 

Also the menus are fucking terible. They are extremely basic with his entrance music playing.

 

And if you're looking for commentary, you're not going to get any. If I remember correctly (I haven't watched it in a while) it's just a bunch of his matches.

Oh

 

 

There's another Undertaker and I think it's called, "The Undertaker : He Buries Them Alive" or something along those lines.

There's another Undertaker and I think it's called, "The Undertaker : He Buries Them Alive" or something along those lines.

 

It's just a rerelease of a 1995 home video. Zero DVD extras.

 

As far as Tombstone, here's the match listing. Yeah, I'd call it comprehensive.

It would be better if there were a part of it where it was a documentary.

Well, Vince doesn't like shattering kayfabe on UT's deadman character. It's why he wasn't on RAW is OWEN and why he's exempt from the dress code.

Ahhhhhhhh...

 

 

That makes sense.

Taker completists, don't forget "The Undertaker: This Is My (or his?) Yard" on DVD. You get interviews with him during the documentary I believe.

Oh ya. I have that too.

 

Isn't that the one where they interview him out in the country or something?

Thanks, guys. Very helpful. I appreciate it.

I have that one also, it's pretty interesting. Unless I'm imagining things, it also talks about him in WCW, with clips as well. It's a fine DVD to go right along with Tombstone.

Ya, it seems to be. I havent watched all of it yet. I mostly skimmed through it, but it does look pretty good.

I imagine having someone called 'The Undertaker' on a show dedicated to someone who died would be in horribly poor taste as well.

Yeah. it's got his early carrer highlights in WCW with Paul Heyman. It's pretty cool.

[Jericholic82 0]

yea I just got the tombstone set recently. oddly enough I finished watching it last night. but the angle-taker match on here wasnt as good as it was hyped to be (and I havent seen it in 3 years either). Vince bleeds the most ever by a mcmahon in the buried match I mean its just pouring out his head. plus in the first blood match shane mcmahon is nearly decaptitated by austins chair shot, I forgot how brutal that shot was.

 

overall a nice set feautring some pretty famous matches and moments (though some stuff is missing) and a good look at all of his career in wwf/e
