Hart Family DVD

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Thank god we’re finally getting the Steiners match on DVD.  Hard to fault them for quality or completeness here, although there’s a couple of repeat matches that were going to be tough to avoid.  Like really, the Summerslam 92 match AGAIN?  Still, looks like a winner.

A THIRD Shawn Michaels DVD?!

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

And yet Chris Jericho gets zero?

Yeah, whatever, I’m buying it, shut up.

 

Hi Scott

Just saw this match list for the new Shawn Michaels dvd set coming out - thought I send it your way and see if you had any views on it for the blog... or not. Just a heads up, really - I'd not heard anything about it until seeing this.

Shawn Michaels is one of the most charismatic and talented athletes in the history of entertainment. For more than 20 years he has wowed crowds, earning accolades, championships and numerous monikers, including “The Icon,” “The Main Event,” and “Mr. WrestleMania.” Now, for the first time ever, Shawn Michaels sits down and in an intimate interview retraces his early days in Texas through his Rocker tag-team partnership in AWA and WWE through his multiple reigns as WWE Champion. Shawn Michaels: My Journey offers surprising insights and absolute candor as he relives the highs and lows of his historic career. Over 20 amazing matches from the 80s, 90s and 2000s —most available on DVD for the very first time—demonstrate why Shawn Michaels is truly “The Showstopper.”

The SmarK DVD Rant for Hell In A Cell

- I'm talking about the 3-disc DVD set here, not the recent PPV. I know this is an older set, but I found it on Ebay for like $3 and I've been wanting to work in a proper review for a while now.

- Hosted by Mick Foley, fittingly enough.

Dream Tag Team tournament: Round one begins!

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

OK, after taking into account requests in the previous thread, I’ve subbed in a few popular choices and subbed out a few unpopular ones (mainly those with Paul Roma in them, oddly enough) and after a random seeding process, we now have a field of 64 teams.

So here’s how it’s going to work:  I’ve organized the tournament into four divisions:  The Jim Crockett Division, The Eddie Gilbert Division, The Lou Thesz Division and the Eddie Guerrero Division.  Each division has eight first round matchups, and we will proceed through each division until there’s a winner of each one.  Then it’s a four-team tournament to crown the ultimate tag team of all-time!

Seedings are entirely arbitrary and meaningless, so don’t get offended because Demolition and the Road Warriors ended up so close together, for instance. 

I decided to go with three options:  You can pick either team to win, or you can pick a draw if you’re playing armchair booker and think it would end up that way.  You can use whatever criteria you want to choose your winner, whether it be the team that’s your favorite, the team you think would be booked to win, the team that would win a real fight, I don’t care. 

The official pairings follow after the break, and then we’ll begin with the Jim Crockett Division tonight!

The SmarK DVD Rant for The Greatest Stars of the 90s

- Hosted by Tazz. This is similar to the 80s DVD in that it's broken down into a series of mini-biographies on the stars of the decade, but it's one big documentary disc first, followed by a pair of bonus match discs.

The SmarK DVD Rant for The History of the Intercontinental Championship

The SmarK DVD Rant for The History of the Intercontinental Championship

This is a pretty straightforward "talk and then show" format DVD, which suits the subject matter well.  Since all the matches are for the Intercontinental title, I'm gonna refrain from typing that before each match, thus saving a tree.  You're welcome. 

Hosted by Todd Grisham and a bad-looking replica of the classic IC title.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW – November 10 1997

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW - November 10 1997

"Any chance of you doing a RAW rant for 11/10/97 on WWE 24/7? It's the one directly after the Survivor Series 1997 PPV, where nothing notable happened. Just thought I'd ask."

You make it sound so enticing. This episode was truly the low point for many Canadians fans, but ironically it was the start of the biggest ratings run in the show's history.

SNME DVD

Holy mother of god.

Finally they have actually released a DVD set that is PERFECT.  This is EXACTLY the set I would have put together had I been asked to compile a 3-disc set, and it's got everything I would be wanting -- famous matches, rarities, historic moments -- covering the spectrum of the show from start to finish.  I am so gonna be all over this one when it comes out.

WWE has released the complete DVD listing for the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event DVD:
The phrase "Saturday Night's Main Event" means the biggest WWE Superstars of the '80s and '90s fighting memorable battles along with humourous and unique vignettes! For the first time ever, the greatest matches in its decades-long history come to DVD with The Best of Saturday Night's Main Event. This 3-disc set includes more than 30 matches, as well as interviews and Superstar recollections of what the event meant to them.
