PWInsider reported that WWE is releasing a Jimmy Snuka DVD this yr
JR reported in his blog he did a lengthy interview for a Rise & Fall of WCW DVD set!
The WCW one will be a must get. The Snuka one... not so much.
They better not mess up the WCW one. The potential for that DVD is fucking huge. It will be the best selling wrestling DVD of all time after it's release

The WCW dvd could be sooooo amazing. I bet HHH ends up on the cover and has 3 matches in the dvd set.
In a way, Triple H would be perfect for the cover :-\

The Monday Night war documentary dvd is kind of a truncated version of this idea, without matches.
It will probably be along the same lines, only longer and with more details and new interviews.
Hopefully some matches too.
Should be highly biased, but still very interesting and a good watch. I'll check it out.

It would be a must have DVD. I would love for them to actually contract some interviews from Sting, Luger, Hogan, and the people that literally put the WWF/E on their asses for soo long. We can't have a WCW dvd without the principle players. Of course we better have a little Bischoff too!
Whilst I will be buying it, I'm not sure about the WCW DVD. Just seems to me that a lot of the key people aren't in the WWE anymore and so it could be a very one sided production. Unlike ECW which had all 3 promoters in it, this could very well only have Vince. I'm guessing Bischoff won't be involved, no Nash, no Hall, (possibly) no Hogan, no Russo, no Booker T, no Sting, no Bret, I could go on for a while here.

This sounds great (come on who hasn't been waiting for this DVD), but as overs have said it will probably be greatly biased and will feature too much Triple H (who let's face it, was a nobody in WCW).

My main concern would be the lack of guys from WCW who are currently on the books who I feel should get interviewed
Bisch for instance (Although, they prob would have loads of archive footage from the Monday Night Wars interviews)
The main contributors will most likely be: JR, Dusty, Piper, Jericho, Malenko, Big Show, Austin?
Maybe others like Helms and Chavo
But who else is there around?

Mysterio, Regal, Goldust, Duggan, and Finlay

WCW DVD might be better if Booker, Jarrett, Sting, Nash, Steiner and Foley could all put in their input.... but we all know that isn't going to happen
I'm sort of weary of a WCW DVD. The ECW DVD was so good because WWE (Read: Vince) didn't have much heat with them and thus it wasn't as skewed as it could have been. The WCW DVD, if done right, will be amazing. Done wrong and it'll be akin to the Warrior DVD.
I have to wonder if TNA would release an "accompanying" DVD in the same vein Forever Hardcore was. They have enough WCW talent that they could put something decent out, maybe include a few TNA rematches of classic WCW matches.

Don't see why they wouldn't include Flair. They're clearly not against using him on TV.

Flair will say some funny stuff. For a guy who spent so much of his career there, he buries it deeper beneath the earth than anyone else does.
Bischoff would probably come back to do it, as would Hogan.
DDP isn't under contract, Macho Man, Lex Luger, a bunch of guys could be contacted.
I just hope the match line-up is arousing and does not include "Edge's first WCW match!" or "Triple H's WCW match!" or that shit. I want to see some good old WCW.

That's what you'll get "old" wcw. Have you seen Luger, Macho Man or any of those guys lately? They physically can't wrestle, nor should they.

The Snuka DVD I'll probably get just because I am a huge wrestling fan, but I'm not really a huge fan of his.
Anyway, as for the WCW DVD, I think they'll do a good job with it. I hope they start out and cover where WCW came from (NWA/Crockett). I'm sure they will because that 85-89time period was pretty awesome and WCW was born right out of that. They also need to cover WCW 1992, which was a great year for the company, but also cover the shit during that early 90's period. And then of course go to the nWo and afterwards
