Timeline DVDs

[Fignuts]

So I've seen these talked about in various threads, and Gertner sent me the Cornette one which was fucking awesome. One thing I've gained from all the discussion on here is that some of them are great, and some of them are boring as fuck.

So with that said, let's use this thread to list which ones are worth buying for those of us interested in collecting these. Gonna be looking to Gertner for this mainly, since he's got quite a few.

Gonna use the Zelda tumblr model rating system for this

So far

Timeline 1997-Jim Cornette http://zs.ffshrine.org/album/link-to-the-past/sprites/LinkDShield.gif

[Bad News Gertner]

Have seen everyone except 1983 Don Muraco.

My top 5 are:

1. WWE 1995 Kevin Nash
2. WWE 1997 Jim Cornette
3. WWE 1988 Hacksaw Jim Duggan
4. WWE 1985 Greg the Hammer Valentine
5. WCW 1996 Kevin Sullivan

Homorable mention: WWE 1986 George the Animal Steele, WWE 1963-69 Bruno Sammartino, 1977-78 Superstar Billy Graham, ECW 1998: New Jack, WWE 1987 HTM and 1994 Sean Waltman

Avoid: any of the WCW Timeline except Sullivan. 1989 WWE Brutus Beefcake, Rikishi and Val Venis's timeline. 1984 Rowdy Roddy Piper.

The ECW ones aren't bad. Sandman is entertaining but he doesn't remember much. Sabu's is good. Shane Douglas's is ok, Justin Credible's is meh.

Timeline WWE 1981 Rick Martel comes out next week. Should be great. ECW 1999 RVD comes out in January.

I really enjoyed Superstar's for 77-78.

Just to hear him describe the behind the scenes stuff was neat. WWF running out of a shitty run down hotel in the 70s.

also the image of Phil Zacko and Vince McMahon cutting checks in a room with one lonely light hanging is surreal.

The JJ Dillon was alright, Bret Harts was more of the same stuff from Bret, Nash one was solid.

Speaking of timelines I've added two new binge-watching guides for NWA and WWE in the 1980s to my blog. They have links to the direct WWE Network files for the major shows and a link to the main menu of the other shows also with the dates of the event for easy binge watching for WWE Network viewing online.

NWA http://rdamon1982.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/nwawcw-binge-watching-guide-the-1980s/
WWF http://rdamon1982.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/wwe-network-binge-watching-guide-the-1980s-the-golden-age-of-professional-wrestling/

Nash's is excellent. Thought that the rest I've seen were pretty average to bad

[CSL]

Kevin Sullivan - WCW 1996 sounds the most interesting out of the ones I haven't seen

[whiteyford]

It was quite good, lot of stuff about the Hogan heel turn.

[Bad News Gertner]

I could listen to Sullivan all day. He's such a tremendous interview.

i recently saw the new jack 1998 ECW one. he is entertaining to listen to

[hb2k]

Cornette's 97 is the gold standard, and Nash's was better than I expected. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Ivory's 2001 timeline. Obviously somebody more key to the year itself would have been better, but she was entertaining.

[whiteyford]

You might want to check out some of the guest booker vids as well.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol Raven's Guest Booker was a disaster

[Bad News Gertner]

Greg the Hammer Valentine's Timeline has by far the best stories on it

[whiteyford]

Wasn't impressed with the Sapolsky guest booker, Pritchard was good, Al Snow was decent more for everything around the booking as opposed to the booking itself, he's not a fan of smarks.

[Bad News Gertner]

Gary Hart's is amazing

[whiteyford]

New Jacks was good although not very detailed.

[Bad News Gertner]

Ordered Rick Martel 1981 today. Martel looks like he hasn't aged 1 day.

[Bad News Gertner]

Watching Timeline 1981 Rick Martel. Just came in. Pretty interesting time in the WWE. Martel's memory is awesone and is a great interview.

Doesn't break my Top 5, but it makes my honourable mentions. Not for everyone, but if you're a fan of pre-Hogan WWF and have some knowledge of the big players back in 81 then you'll enjoy it.
