WWE sent out a survey on Friday asking fans for feedback on potential DVD releases. Among the suggested names were Sting, Brock Lesnar, the NWO, Bruno Sammartino, Steve Austin, The Rock, Randy Orton, Edge, Triple H, Jerry Lawler, CM Punk, The Miz, Ted DiBiase Sr., the WWE Divas and Gorgeous George.

Event specific DVD’s suggested were The Greatest Moments at Madison Square Garden, The Brutal History of the I Quit Match, The Money in the Bank Anthology, The Best of Tuesday Night Titans, The Best of Shotgun Saturday Night, King of the Ring, Tough Enough Season 1 with Steve Austin and a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Compilation.

WWE also asked fans what content they would be interested in the most in a potential Superstar specific DVD or Blu-ray. The options were:

* Documentary about the Superstar’s life story
* Behind the scenes footage of the Superstar away from the ring
* A collection of the Superstar’s career-spanning matches

WWE also asked how interested fans would be in purchasing DVD’s or Blu-ray’s from the following libraries:

* WCW, ECW (original), AWA , WCCW (World Class), Florida Championship Wrestling, Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

* The ’70s, Rock ‘n’ Wrestling (Hulkamania), The Attitude Era.


Some excellent DVD projects listed here and I hope WWE end up going through with most of these.

Of the wrestler specific DVD's the ones that stand out to me are; Sting, Brock Lesnar, Edge, CM Punk and The Miz.

I like the idea of event specific DVDs, the MSG one would include some incredible matches. MITB DVD is a brilliant idea. Tough Enough would be a good show, its replay value is quite strong.

With regards to the what content is most important question for me it is Documentary by far. The matches are almost always available on other DVDs and the documentary is what makes it stand out.

I would be very interested in some more WCW DVDs and hopefully the Nitro DVD sells well to encourage WWE to release more. With ECW they have already produced a few DVDs on it so I don't know what else they could do.

Which of these DVD projects are you most interested in?

CM Punk DVD would be cool. ONLY if they can get the rights to his indy days. A DVD on Miz wouldn't work, its to early for him. Give it a few more years and then release it.

What about a DVD about Kane? He has been with the WWE since 97. Many titles and some interesting storylines (not Katie Vick). He has had some good matches.

There was a Kane DVD released around two years ago called The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane

With Punk there is enough material to put together a three hour DVD even without the indy matches which they won't be able to get. He has been around for a few years now and has had many memorable feuds on both shows.

If WWE can release a DVD on John Morrison they can do one on The Miz since Miz has had that mainevent run.

As long as there isn't more of those boring "experience" dvds. Cena and Orton ones were terrible.

I would like to see a boxset of WWE Confidential, since it was basically a doc for alot of things. I just wish that show was still on tbh.

I completely forgot about that show. It would be a good one to have on DVD since they filmed a lot of episodes for it. Maybe when WWE finally start their own network they will start to air it again.
