Scroby 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Man, WWE dvds at Best Buy are pretty fucking expensive. I saw the HBK dvd set at K-mart tonight for 19.99, it wasn't even on sale or anything, that was their price for it. I think the only dvds I would pick out of that list is the Wrestlemania 23 collectors tin as I haven't picked that up yet, and maybe the Raw 15th aniversity dvd as well. Ok and maybe the HHH one as well, because 14.99 is pretty cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 From WWEShop: Twist of Fate: The Matt and Jeff Hardy Story September 27, 1998 two young wrestlers made their debut on Sunday Night Heat. From their very first match the fans knew they were something special. Risk takers, crash and burners these two performers exemplified the heart and soul of the tag-team division. Simply put, they are artists – both in and out of the ring. SummerSlam 2000, the Hardys’ competed in their first ever Ladder Match, rocketing them through the ranks of the tag team division winning the titles on four occasions and making the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match a staple in the WWE. While they may have gone their separate ways they have managed to capture the Intercontinental, Hardcore, European, Light Heavyweight, WCW Tag Team and Cruiserweight Championships respectfully. Now, relive “Team Extreme” once more as they continue to climb to new heights when you own the Hardys Twist of Fate DVD. Disc 1 The Matt Hardy Story Matt Hardy was born to wrestle—from his earliest days in homemade rings he and his brother created through his unbelievable matches on WWE SmackDown. The road to the top wasn’t always smooth, including some behind-the-scenes battles with other superstars that spilled into the ring. This DVD tells Matt’s complete story, and collects some amazing matches. Matches include: OMEGA Wrestling Tag Team Title Match The Hardy Boyz vs. The Serial Thrillaz No DQ; No Count Out Match: Matt Hardy vs. Kane Steel Cage Match: Matt Hardy vs. Edge Money in the Bank Qualifying Match Matt Hardy vs. Joey Mercury Matt Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy Disc 2 The Jeff Hardy Story Jeff Hardy has ascended from one of the top tag teams in WWE history to a wildly popular singles star with the WWE Championship in his sight. This DVD examines his colorful career in and out of the ring, including his recent spectacular success on Raw. Matches include: The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudleys Intercontinental Title Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H Steel Cage Match for the Intercontinental Championship Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro Money in the Bank Qualifying Match Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin World Tag Team Title Match The Hardys vs. Cade & Murdoch Winner Gets WWE Championship Title Shot at Royal Rumble: Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H Steel Cage Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga -- That's some pretty vague information (I would like to think the IC title match is the one Jeff won, not the one where he lost the belt back to HHH in quick fashion) but sounds interesting, and the phrasing "Matches Include:" suggests there may be more to the story. Though you'd think it would be examined in the feature story, from a listed match stand point, there's nothing on the V1 character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 I'm wondering if that September 98 date refers to them being full time contracted workers. Their Raw debut as a team was 18 months prior and just featured on 24/7 so it's not like they're pretending those days didn't exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Decent match listing, although my first impression regarding never-before-seen matches would go to the HIAC match with Cactus and not the Hogpen match. That HIAC match is literally one of the most requested matches on DVD, even though it would have been a lock to include in the upcoming Complete Hell dvd.

haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 I'm glad to see HHH's first IC title win against Marc Mero is on the DVD. My favorite part of the match is Mr. Perfect giving Marc Mero one of the hardest chairshots I've ever seen so HHH could get the win. I thought they would include HHH vs Undertaker from Wrestlemania X-Seven, but it's already included on a couple different Undertaker DVD releases, so no harm there. Looks like an overall good selection of matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hogpen comment was mainly sarcasm, although seeing HHH wallow around in shit would make a great guilty pleasure. I too am happy about the Cactus HIAC match finally getting on DVD.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 No but Jericho writes (in his book) about seeing a lot of big stars in WCW when he was trying to get a tryout, and throws Terra Ryzing's name in there (presumably as a joke). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2008 I'm shocked his 2002 - 2003 world title run is practically skipped over. I'd figured his new DVD set would be 3 DVDs with one disc dedicated to that reign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I really don't like giving my money to HHH merchandize, nor am I interested in most of those discs, but I would like to own the NWO HIAC match and the no mercy match with Austin, so I'll have to find a used copy to get just for those. I just picked up the Austin discs yesterday. A pretty good match set, but its really disappointing that there's nothing past WM17 on it. Besides the Benoit matches that really needed to be on the set but weren't for obvious reasons, I really wanted a couple of Kurt Angle matches to be on here, specifically the two PPV ones at the end of the summer of 01, and the one from I think the first Raw of 2001.

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Maybe one post-Mania X-7 match versus Angle would have been possible. After all, they did include one Angle match on the HBK dvd, but you have to figure that WWE wouldn't want to give too much exposure to a former employee who left on bad terms and is the current TNA Champion.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 I got the austin set, if only cuz it had the 2/3 falls match vs HHH on it, plus the bret Survivor series match I have never seen. But the Steamboat match on disc 1 is pretty awesome. Notable for being the match where Steamboat injured his back (trying to skin the cat back in) which caused his immediate retirement. Great technical match with Austin playing the arrogant heel well and Steamboat building the crowd into a frenzy with his comebacks. I havent watched anything else yet.

MARTYEWR 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 So how badly edited is the Austin / Guerrero match because of ------'s involvement? Benoit never got involved in the match directly, just before it. It starts with Eddie cutting a promo, then shows Austin trapping the Radicalz in their dressing room with the forklift. The only possible footage of Benoit there might be through the window of the dressing room once they're trapped; however, it could very well (likely) have been just Malenko and Saturn shown. On another note, the Survivor Series match is shown in full until they make their way to the dressing room. Then it's clipped to what looks like Austin chasing HHH out, with HHH wondering where the chasing Austin went to, jumping into his car, only for, well, you know what happens. Really, it just looks weird with the clip-job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
