I had one link tell me Austin's was and I didn't believe it because it's way to soon for that to have happened.
BTW, Austin didn't really like his DVD as said here.

Kind of surprising...you can bet it was probably because his favourite matches with Angle and Benoit didn't get to be on them. (As well as his ton of promo's and segments that made hi m a star, or many of his WWF title wins)

I got a 50 minute interview with Austin talking with the guys from the Sun and yes he did mention it. He almost mentions how he thought he was screwed with the Condemned(SP) Not being marketed properly Etc..
Oh yea, bout the DVD and selling record, Some1 told me WWE "Insisted" It was one of undertakers. But i think Rise and fall was the Highest Not including one of the big 4 PPV's

Re: Official WWE DVD Help/Discussion/Review Thread
I've added that 3 disc Steve Austin set to the 80 or so (no joke, but an estimated number) DVD's in my collection I need to watch. Should have it in a few days.

Re: Official WWE DVD Help/Discussion/Review Thread
Yeah, I just had a look around the net and found that WWE claim that Tombstone: History of The Undertaker is their best selling DVD. I personally think it did sell well, but I can't see it being their best seller. I do remember reading that the Rise + Fall of ECW sold tremendously, and was a main reason Vince agreed to do One Night Stand and bring back ECW. I doubt Vince would have done that if the DVD just sold "ok".
But as for individual sets, I think The Undertaker's could currently be the best.

Re: Official WWE DVD Help/Discussion/Review Thread
Jesus Christ, McQueen, you've got even more DVDs to watch than me! Currently Grand Theft Auto IV and the GREAT weather here (which is about as rare as tornado over here) is keeping me from watching any DVDs though.
The Austin and HBK sets are the ones I'm really looking forward to watching, especially after the first discs of each set were awesome (although I've still to see the last 2 matches of Austin's first disc).

Good weather in Scotland?
Erm I didn't really like Austin's first disc. Only match that interested me at all was Hart/Austin.

Re: Official WWE DVD Help/Discussion/Review Thread
Jericho/Storm-***1/2
Crazy/Guido/Tajiri-***
Rey/Psicosis-**3/4
Rhino/Sabu-***1/4
Benoit/Eddie-***1/4
Awesome/Tanaka-****
Dudleys vs Dreamer/Sandman-***1/2
Awesome event, I think some people are underrating matches like Rhino/Sabu and Storm/Jericho.

I know, right lol? It's been great for 2 FREAKIN' DAYS!
I've actually really enjoyed the first disc for the most part; the Blondes/Hombres cage match was really good, although I'm not that high on it; the Pillman singles match was also really good, if a little sloppy in parts; I LOVED the Steamboat match and probably have it as Austin's best match in WCW (aside from Wargames 92, but I wouldn't really call that an "Austin match" as such); the ECW 3-way bored me in parts, to be honest, but Austin himself kept me into it, even just a little, and I haven't watched the last 2 matches yet. I remember the Hart match being around ****1/2, and the Savio match was always considered really good, so overall I'd say it was a pretty great disc.
And McQueen - 4 FULL Climax's and the CC95, among others?... I envy you, but at the same time, I feel sorry for you considering that may take about 8 years  .

I got a second email from them, telling me which DVD's they are sending me:
Hardcore Homecoming - November Reign
WWE - The Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior
WWE - Raw 10th Anniversary
Each are between £6 and £7 on their site, and although I would never actually buy them myself, I have no problem adding them to my collection for free

Wow....

This makes me feel better. I thought I had a lot with 26 in the "must watch" pile {ROH, FIP, NOAH, PWG (finally got me some damn BOLA!)}.
