June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804081 Def a must buy but I am shocked by the lack of Macho Man vs. Undertaker honestly. Yeah I thought that would make the cut for sure since they've shown clips on their site before. Anyway I'll still buy it. I was hoping for Warrior vs Taker in a Casket match and that does make it. Not the one from St. Louis but another from NY. Should be fun.
June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804088 I've been our of the loop with their home video for a few years now. Do they still do Blu-ray releases? Yes. Don't know why this isn't one of them. Yes it's mostly stuff recorded on VHS but that hasn't stopped them before as they put out WCW and ECW collections on Blu.
June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804093 What complete Hogan/Jake match would be on tape? Possibly their first match in Providence, where they showed a clip in the promo about the rematch. Hogan also pinned Jake in 1992 on the same show the Mountie beat Bret for the IC title, which they showed highlights from during the Royal Rumble so may have taped the whole show.
June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804101 So do we think that they raided the physical archives for this, or that it consists largely of footage that they had already digitized? I've been our of the loop with their home video for a few years now. Do they still do Blu-ray releases? Yes. Don't know why this isn't one of them. Yes it's mostly stuff recorded on VHS but that hasn't stopped them before as they put out WCW and ECW collections on Blu. Hate to be that guy, but not all videotape is VHS.
June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804115 Lawler teaming against HBK/Bret, yes please. Whole set loos like a bunch of fun, first WWE DVD I'll be getting instantly in a while.
June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804145 I wonder how they'll handle commentary, since i'm pretty sure these matches did not originally have commentary.
June 17, 20178 yr comment_5804147 I never got the Attitude Era Unseen set but I'm pretty sure most of those matches didn't have any commentary, and I'm outright hoping for the same here, or at least give us the audio option for it.
June 18, 20178 yr comment_5804177 I can't find the link right now but there are Blu Ray extras listed on 411 Mania but nothing that's super holy grail-ish. Attitude Era Unseen has no commentary, including dark matches from Raw and PPVs.
June 18, 20178 yr comment_5804178 I actually think it's going to be really cool also to see matches from late 80s and early 90s Superstars tapings without ridiculously overdubbed crowd noise.
June 18, 20178 yr comment_5804225 What is there as far as Turner/Time Warner-era WCW "holy grail"-type matches?
June 18, 20178 yr comment_5804237 Here it is! I'm most excited to see Duane Gill & Barry Hardy's match as "The Toxic Turtles." Other matches of note include Bret vs. Davey Boy from 6/30/92, Hogan vs. Flair from 11/91 (not the Dayton match, unfortunately), a test run of the WM7 blindfold match from January, Flair vs. Piper, a Piper's Pit with the Brooklyn Brawler from 1992 when there were plans to bring that back, and tryout/dark matches for Brian Adams (in '89), Chris Chavis as "War Eagle," the aforementioned Turtles, and the Tazmaniac. I'm sold. Really disapointed that they didnt give us Savage vs Taker when they teased the match on youtube ages ago. Very pleased to see Dibiase/Sid as had heard about this in PWI along with the Piper/Blawler Pit. I know they are thinking about a idea to have a Warrior DVD and a Savage DVD called unseen matches so there is hope.
June 19, 20178 yr comment_5804333 What is there as far as Turner/Time Warner-era WCW "holy grail"-type matches? Flair vs. Steamboat Sting vs. Callous Pillman vs. Liger Benoit vs. Booker series
June 19, 20178 yr comment_5804360 Excited for: Dibiase vs. Sid Kamala/Shango vs. Hart/Warrior Demolition vs. Colossal Connection Hart vs. Anvil Michaels/Hart vs. Lawler/Hakushi (That is a killer match-up I never knew I wanted to see!!) I love this kind of stuff, hoping for a couple hidden gems
June 19, 20178 yr comment_5804440 What is there as far as Turner/Time Warner-era WCW "holy grail"-type matches? Flair vs. Steamboat Sting vs. Callous Pillman vs. Liger Benoit vs. Booker series Also, I've read that there were plenty of Nitro dark matches as well. And if they could get the rights to it, that Christopher Knight vs Danny Bonaduce match from Spring Stampede 94 would be an interesting curiosity.
June 20, 20178 yr comment_5804568 Found some really bad news about the set. Late last week we received and posted the full list of content WWE has in the works for the “UNRELEASED 1986-1995” DVD which we now know will be filled with 45 exclusive hidden gems! As the news spread online our listing was spotted on a few websites with several “extra” matches added on top, taking the total to 58 matches, possibly originating at PWInsider.com. WrestlingDVDNetwork.com can unfortunately and categorically confirm that those extras are NOT present in the final listing of the 3-disc DVD set. For one, the disc space would already be nearing capacity with the 45 existing matches before attempting to squeeze in another 13 bouts. Why couldnt they just release a Blu Ray version to include them?
June 21, 20178 yr comment_5804687 Wasn't crazy about any of the extras on list Coincidentally there is talk of ideas of doing a Warrior & Savage unseen matches sets so if that does happen would probably be where Kamala/Warrior would get put.
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805161 I can't find the link right now but there are Blu Ray extras listed on 411 Mania but nothing that's super holy grail-ish. Attitude Era Unseen has no commentary, including dark matches from Raw and PPVs. EXTRAS Shawn Michaels vs. Jerry Lawler Wheeling, WV • June 6, 1995 Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Andre the Giant & Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase Hershey, PA • January 26, 1988 Steel Cage: Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan Wheeling, WV • October 2, 1989 Rick Rude vs. The Ultimate Warrior Toledo, Ohio • June 10, 1990 Papa Shango vs. The Ultimate Warrior Ottawa, Ontario • June 1, 1992 Kamala vs. The Ultimate Warrior Landover, MD • September 1, 1992 Kamala & Papa Shango vs. Undertaker & Ultimate Warrior Worcester, MA • July 20, 1992 Ultimate Warrior vs. Papa Shango Terra Haute, IN • October 27, 1992 The Mad Monk (Mike Shaw aka Friar Ferguson/Bastion Booger) vs. Bobby Young Phoenix, AZ • April 5, 1993 The Harris Twins vs. Dale Wolfe & Tim Patterson Phoenix, AZ • April 5, 1993 Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Phoenix, AZ • April 5, 1993 The Harlem Knights (Men On A Mission) vs. Mike Bell & Tony Devito Portland, ME • May 5, 1993 Phantasio vs. Rad Radford St. Louis, MO • July 26, 1995
June 27, 20178 yr comment_5805205 Still, a pretty cool list of extras though. To think that a Phantasio match has always eluded me.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_5805206 I don't know where or how 411mania got that list but PWInsider said there are no extras. Which sucks.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_5805234 I wonder if PWInsider is looking specifically at the DVD? Or, did they say the know the blu-ray has no extras as well?
