Weren't they originally going to do Edge Vs HHH at WM 25 and Orton Vs Cena? I seem to remember them kinda building up to that and then BAM, they switched it around to HHH/Orton and Cena/Edge/Big Show.
I've been browsing eBay recently looking to expand my wrestling DVD/Blu-ray collection because those I own are mostly crappy stuff I got for cheap (with a few exceptions). I was wondering if you guys could help me build my collection by suggesting me DVDs you bought and like.
From all the DVDs I own, my favorite titles are the following:
x Best of Raw Vol. 1 & 2
x Rise + Fall of ECW
x Ladder Match 1 & 2
x Monday Night Wars
x McMahon
x Chris Benoit: Hard Knocks
x Stone Cold Steve Austin: the Bottom Line on the most-popular superstar...
x Survivor Series 2002
x Royal Rumble 2005
I wanted to buy the Money In the Bank 2011 PPV but I've decided not to. (Cause it's only on DVD format) I'll grab CM Punk's Blu-ray to get the match on higher-definition. Also, WWF Wrestlemania X-Seven looks impossible to get for cheaper than 60$, so I might never buy this one.
I watched that Benoit DVD a few weeks ago. Heartbreaking stuff when I look at how his name gets treated today. It's a complicated topic so I'm not gonna speak on it but just say that it's a great DVD that took me back to when he was alive and his name wasn't a taboo subject. And there's even Eddie Guerrero talking about how great their friendship is.
Also, I watched the F4W for the IC title at No Way Out 2001 yesterday and it was a solid ***3/4 to me. Fatal Four Ways are usually entertaining and this one is no different.
Latest on WWE’s Planned nWo DVD for 2012 – Documentary Confirmed
This one is slated for release in November 2012 to all regions, produced as a three-disc DVD, and two-disc on Blu-ray. The blurb reveals that it will include a new documentary on the history of the nWo, as the main feature. It also makes reference to Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, which seems to infer that their contributions to the documentary will be archive interviews. The rest of the set will of course consist of matches and moments from nWo’s run in WCW and WWE.
In the mid-90s, a malicious group of renegades ‘invaded’ World Championship Wrestling, shaking the landscape of the sports-entertainment world and turning the tables on Monday Night War. Little did anyone know, the shock of the century was yet to come. When Hulk Hogan did the unthinkable and turned his back on the fans, The Outsiders had officially become The New World Order, and chaos ensued.
Now, relive the the history of one of the most infamous and controversial factions of all time with this brand new documentary. Get the inside scoop from those who lived it, such as Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, as well as new interviews from Superstars who were inspired and enthralled by the nWo. Also featuring the definitive matches and moments from the era, including battles for the WCW World Heavyweight title, stunning defections to the nWo and the internal strife that eventually tore the group apart.
The title of the project is down on the schedules right now as nWo: New World Order, which may or may not change later.
For years I wanted Hall/Nash/Outsiders DVD, but a full nWo documentary is even better. Can't wait for that. Especially now with Nash in the company. I hope they can film new footage of Hogan and Bischoff.
They can choose 100 different segments. Matches, they can put Rock/Hogan, Hogan/Goldberg, Hogan/Luger Nitro 100, Outsiders matches, Nash/Hall HH 98 etc.
Weren't they originally going to do Edge Vs HHH at WM 25 and Orton Vs Cena? I seem to remember them kinda building up to that and then BAM, they switched it around to HHH/Orton and Cena/Edge/Big Show.
I think that's where they were headed but I wanted HHH/Jeff Hardy and Orton/Cena. Hardy could have had his big pay-off after his extensive chase in another great match with Hunter. While they could have expended on the Orton holding the show hostage with a lawsuit and Cena being the defender of the company. However, I did like the build they did with HHH/Orton but the triple threat just sucked.
WM25 would have been a better card with this
Orton/Cena World Title (main event)
HHH/Hardy WWE Title
Taker/HBK
Jericho/Mysterio IC Title (w/Steamboat in corner)
Edge/Big Show (over Vickie's 'love' I guess)
Divas Battle Royal (minus Santina & Kid Rock; plus Trish, Lita, entrances,and Women's Title)
MITB V
Colons/Miz & Morrison (open the show)

I watched some of the Benoit DVD earlier. The documentary (which is a pretty great doc) and then the Al Snow match (only put in the first disc lol). Despite only being a 2 disc set its filled with a bunch of really great matches and with the doc its probably one of the better superstar releases. Shame we won't get another, but I can understand why we won't. Might have to pick up a custom set at some point. When I have money. And I find a good one .
WM25's main event was supposed to be Hogan vs Cena IIRC, but before Hogan came back to TV to start the program, he had another back surgery and they just threw Cena to the Show/Edge/Vickie angle.
WM25 would have been awesome with Hogan/Cena. And I honestly thought that they're going to do Orton/Vince at WM for the final payoff.
Hogan/Cena(main event)
Orton/Vince
Taker/HBK
Hardy/HHH WWE title
Edge/Show WHC
Jericho/Steamboat
And a serious Rey Mysterio match.
NWO: New World Order - imaginative title, I hope they don't just blend the wcw/monday night wars interviews together for this one, they could include the legends of wrestling: nwo episode with Nash,
Looking forward to the match selection, hostile takeover with full entrances?
Not looking forward to match selection for the NWO set. Don't recall off the top of my head ANY NWO matches worth a damn. Sure, Hogan/Goldberg and Hogan/Luger are important matches for the title changes and shit, but they aren't good matches. And then there's... uhhh... that one match with thingy...
Actually I think I liked War Games 96. That's about it.
Extreme Rules 2011
MITB 2011
No Way Out 2012
MITB 2012
WWE seriously needs to stop with the spoilerific covers!

Re: Wrestlemania 25
I think the show would've been better had they kept the original planned double main event of Cena Vs. Orton and Edge Vs. HHH before switching it around to swerve the IWC.
Orton/Cena World Title (main event)
HHH/Hardy WWE Title
Taker/HBK
Jericho/Mysterio IC Title (w/Steamboat in corner) Edge/Big Show (over Vickie's 'love' I guess)
Divas Battle Royal (minus Santina & Kid Rock; plus Trish, Lita, entrances,and Women's Title)
MITB V
Colons/Miz & Morrison (open the show)
Built up, Edge v Christian would have been far, far better for that show. Or any big show, really. Gutted that the Christian feud was meant to be Edge's "victory lap" feud, but never ended up happening for obvious reasons :sad: There is that RAW match, but it's just not the same.

Wasn't it actually supposed to be Cena/Batista but Batista got hurt? I don't remember hearing anything about Hogan/Cena at the time and thank fuck it didn't happen. What an utterly horrible sight that would have been.
I honestly don't remember hearing anything about Hogan/Cena. Ever tbh.
And I have to disagree. Hogan can fuck off. As an attraction, sure, but as an actual match hell no. It wouldn't be like Rock/Cena where Rock can still go. It would have been absolutely horrible.
