I'm kinda flustered by the lack of Paul Ellering and J.J. Dillion.

yea, it says "and much more" so I'm assuming they'll get in.

Dillon and WWE have problems, so I dunno how much they would give him.

Paul was highlighted a lot on the Road Warriors DVD, so I won't be that pissed if they don't do much on him.

I heard this was going to be a 3 Disc set as well so it will be interesting to see all the managers they put on here and their bios. I bet the HOF footage of Sherri on RAW last monday was off the upcoming DVD.

You think they would also include Fuji, Valient and maybe Humperdink since this is WWE.

Hopefully the Heyman stuff will be quite old, and not of him managing Brock, Team Angle et al.

-edit- By old I mean in his ECW days or something (if he managed)

Yep sounds like his AWA stuff and WCW Dangerous Alliance will be mentioned on the DVD.
