Talking Point of the Week: Best video packages

[Poit]

TLP Talking Point of the Week:

WWE is often praised for the high quality of its video packages. What are a couple of your favorites, and why? Are there any packages from other companies that are comparatively good?

[Seth82]

Steve Austin vs The Rock WM 17 My Way video package is still one of the best

Loved the promo packages from the late 90s:

For recent stuff, really liked the Miz's hype video going into his Mania WWE title match against Cena.

Austin/Taker Highway to Hell always comes to mind. Probably not actually the best, but it stood out for its use of an actually good song and making it fit with the video and making it into a tagline as well.

Still love that.

don't know if many people remember this one but I loved it

Don't remember that one at all, but that was pretty rad...

[Dark One]

My four usual go-to videos are already in here, so here are some outside picks:

The Finn Balor video package was really good today, but I don't think that really fits in with this the rest of these, since it's more of a "documentary" sort of thing as opposed to a video package.

The Dusty Rhodes memorial video was good in the most heartwrenching kind of way. That ending with "So, this is the American Dream, and I want to tell you one thing: happy trails to you, until we meet again" gets me every fucking time.

This retrospective one, which was prompted by Ric Flair trying to convince Vince not to INJECT A LETHAL DOSE OF NWO POISON, is amazing:

I have a soft spot for this Christian / Del Rio one, which I think would probably show up on a lot of lists if it wasn't a one or two month feud, because this is a really great hype video:

Christian/Del Rio also has the advantage of including the greatest night in the history of our sport.

This one. Amazing storytelling.

And the one below. Love the effects (visual and audio) that help enhance and enunciate what's being communicated.

I loved the one for Steve Austin's HOF induction with Cult of Personality

Bray vs cena - legacy

Absolutely. That and the Dusty video are neck and neck for me. Incredible.

[James Steele]

The video they showed the night the world stopped spinning and my heart filled with joy and my eyes with tears...

Still love that.

WOw that was great. I never saw it fresh

[DAMN iNATOR]

Best part of that match itself was by far HBK winning.

Turns out I had the wrong end of 2008. Was a promo for RR 2008, not Armageddon, and the song is "Rooftops" by LostProphets, not "Scream your heart out", but man that video made me think, "This could be Jeff's year to finally win the big one", and did he EVER!

I had already edited my post when I saw that, but my dad always taught me that a promise is a promise, so I awarded you with a green dot anyway. :)

[Anybody Thrilla]

The opening video for the InVasion PPV was really awesome at the time. I'm not sure if it has aged well or not.

[Corndad]

I always like the Lonely Road of Faith Desire Video


Recently the Bryan Monster Video as well as the Memorials for Dusty, Warrior, and Mae Young were all very well done.

[James Steele]

All of the "WWF Desire" videos from the early 2000s were awesome. They should do those again. They just helped push a superstar and help create an emotional connection.
