If this means occasional guest appearances by Arn Anderson in the March-to-April range of '07, I'm all for it!
Other than WrestleMania 23, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Vengeance and Survivor Series (unless there are other PPVs that become must-see in 2007), you can count me in for ECW Extreme Rules (if it's not an "ECW as presented by WWE"-only DVD), the Royal Rumble Anthology, the Four Horsemen set, the Ladder Match DVD, and maybe the Austin DVD.
I'm curious as to what "Great Families" they'll be discussing in that DVD. Obviously the first family to come to mind would be the Von Erichs, but it should also talk about the Rhodes family, the Guerreros, the Briscoes, The Rock's lineage, and so on.

1) There are links you can click on where it explains the non-PPV DVDs. The ECW was says, "A two-disc compilation that showcases some of the best matches of the return of ECW, as well as vignettes about the newest Extremists." So it doesn't look like there will be any "classic" ECW matches.
2) On the Great Families link, it mentions the McMahons, Von Erichs, Funks, Harts, Guerreros, Ortons, Gagnes, Colons, DiBiases, Rhodes and more.
I'm really stoked about the 4 Horsemen DVD. With the timing of its currently scehduled release date (April 10, 2007), it makes me wonder if Arn & Tully (maybe even Flair) will be members of the next Hall of Fame class.

The Maivia family has a few notables. Although the Sheepherders didn't think much of Peter as a promoter.

Hopefully they saved the good Hollywood Blonds matches for the Austin DVD.
(edited by canis582 on 27.10.06 2024) I just remembered that im absent minded wait i mean i lost my mind, i cant find it.
Bret and Shawn had a ladder match back in '92. It's on Coliseum Videos Smack'em Whack'em tape. There were talks of doing a Bret v Shawn ladder match at Summerslam 92, but since this was in England, they went with Bret vs Davey Boy instead.
I am so there for the WCCW DVD and the Royal Rumble: Anthology disc. I assume the RR DVD is either the entire RR match from certain years, or just the end of each year's Royal Rumble match. Or is it something else?
A little less than six months in advance, and I'm already there to buy the Horsemen DVD. As someone who will purchase this item, can I please beg now that Paul Roma and Mongo McMichael are forgotten from memory? A few items that are virtual necessities on the DVD: Horsemen: The parking lot beating of Rhodes. The locker room beatings of Ricky Morton and Magnum T.A. Horsemen beating of Ron Garvin. Wargames '87, both matches. Arn/Tully vs. Rock 'n Roll Express, including the pre-match Midnight Express 'Divorce Court' beating of Ricky Morton. Arn/Tully vs. Windham/Luger Clash I. Arn/Tully vs. Windham/Luger Windham turn. Beating of Sting Clash Feb '91. Pillman/Anderson vs. Flair/Sting: We all know what happens there. Arn's retirement speech. Flair's return speech. Several Four Horsemen/Four Titles promos. Flair/Windham vs. Doom. Hollywood Blondes vs. Flair/Anderson.
Flair, should they be throwing individual Flair matches in there to complement the Flair DVD:
Flair/Magnum: Chicago '85. Flair/Morton. Flair/Von Erich: XMas '82. Either here or the World Class DVD, but it has to be on one or the other. Flair/Nikita. Flair/Rhodes: Flair regains title in '86. Flair/Vader. etc.
First Families will depend how they do it. I'll probably buy it as it is between the Horsemen and the WCCW, so I'll be looking for a DVD at that point.
World Class I'll buy no questions asked. If Flair/Von Erich isn't on the Horsemen DVD, it needs to be on this DVD. Plenty of Freebirds and Dynamic Duo are also necessary.
If the Austin DVD is centered primarily on his pre-WWF days, I'll buy it. If it is mostly him yelling What and taking pisses on Arn Anderson, I'll pass.
At least they appear to be learning to spread the individual/theme DVD's out, rather than have have them come out in bunches. Now, if they follow the example they seem to have picked up with the Hogan DVD and start promoting the DVD PRIOR to it being released, then they are really on the right track.
The Hart/HBK ladder match is also on The Most Unusual Matches Ever tape, which I also own.
The match is extremely different from most of the ones today, but it was good reguardless and it was more than anything else a prototype and demo version for the ladder matches of the future. So that's why I hope it's on there, to show where the WWF/WWE ladder matches really started.
I'm tired of this revisionist history that HBK/Razor Ramon was the first one in the WWF.
Originally posted by Big BadIs it too much to ask that the DVD have a whole section devoted to all of the times that Flair and the Horsemen turned on Sting?
If you did that, you'd need several discs, I think.

Funny you should mention Tully, but I think it was rumored somewhere that he was hired as a trial agent, recently, after DiBiase and Horner was released.
Austin's DVD, the Horsemen DVD, and the Royal Rumble DVD are must owns, and if the Rey and Cena DVDs have some matches that I would like to see again, they'll be added as well.
I'm certainly psyched for the complete Royal Rumble Anthology. Fucking brilliant! I hope and trust it will not just be the Rumble matches themselves but actually the entire PPVs...
I should have been a bit clearer on that one: I was wondering what the odds are of Matt Bentley joining WWE are; Brother Runt is a completely different person.
