Re: Wrestling DVD's Thread!
Exactly what you'd think they would talk about in a "Rise & Fall of.." DVD.

The start of ECW
The middle of ECW
The end of ECW
The legacy of ECW

As great as the doc was in 2004, I wouldn't say it's the best anymore. I don't know when the switch occurred, but WWE docs tend to be pretty damn great now. The Randy Orton, Edge, CM Punk and to a much lesser extent, the Rock's were all better than the ECW one. What made the ECW doc stand out back in the day was that it wasn't the norm for WWE docs. At the time, every doc was just 50 minutes long and glossed over a guy's career without spending too much time on any one deal. It was the reader's digest version of a Bio. Then, the ECW doc came along and it was nearly 3 hours long and thus had time to talk about a lot of stuff.
It does lose points for not having the other side of the argument. Guys like Todd Gordon, Raven and Shane Douglas should have been in the doc. Likewise, the WWE did their best to not talk about the drugs or New Jack. It does still stand out as a good WWE doc, but the WWE has become soo much better at putting together a professional looking documentary.

Re: Wrestling DVD's Thread!
Just ordered the Hell in a Cell DVD from a few years ago. FINALLY gonna have the Taker/Foley match in my collection, FINALLY gonna rewatch HHH/Foley for the first time in yonks, and finally gonna rewatch the 6-way match that I loved as a kid.
Gotta say though, despite Silvervision reducing a fuckton of DVD prices to clear stock before their agreement with WWE ends, that's the only one I've been remotely interested in picking up so far. Hopefully the next few they announce are better. Hoping for the Mick Foley DVD set to make an appearance.

If you're a Hogan fan, his third DVD has some fun moments. Otherwise, you pretty much just wasted your money.
That being said, my inner Hulkamaniac made me go out and buy that DVD the day it came out.

Re: Wrestling DVD's Thread!
Why are you avoiding the most recent one, but picking up the cheap one hour tapes?

Re: Wrestling DVD's Thread!
You have a little over a dozen DVD's...
Idk, just seems strange to me to buy old WWF Home Videos that have a running time of an hour without any actual matches when there's far better sets out there.

Re: Wrestling DVD's Thread!
Are you kidding me? I have a lot more. And it is strange but when your a collector you buy all of them.
I just checked out silver vision. The prices are mad cheap, it's unbelievable.
