Plus more matches will be added as more title defences are made before the release in December.

The full cost for the whole package is rumoured to be around $400-$600 when released and it will only be sold on Shopzone.

It may also be sold instead in volumes with each DVD sold seperately.

[Sensei Of Mattitude]

pretty fucking expensive

i'm really only interested in Disks 1-7. The rare shit.

everything else ive seen (too many times)

This is A MASSIVE Dvd but for 400 to 600 bucks? I was thinking only 200

[Loose Cannon]

[James Steele]

Plus, with all the editing they would have to do with the announcing and logos it would lower its price in my book. 500 bucks is a little bit much, but that would be the most impressive DVD compilation ever though.

[Supermark101]

I would much rather have all the wrestlemanias on DVD

[Loose Cannon]

it won't be 400-600. Trust me. It will be around $200.

[Supermark101]

It includes a repicla belt. That sells for $200

[mrslackalack]

I would have made it a World Title DVD with NWA,AWA WCW and ECW world title matches included in the material instead of some of the matches on here. But it looks like the biggest and best DVD yet

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

Where abouts have you found this out??? If it's true then it should be awesome. Although there has been some awesome title defenses which aren't even included on there e.g. Armageddon six man hell in a cell, HHH - Cactus Jack Streetfight at Royal Rumble 2000 etc.

[James Steele]

A better DVD idea would be like the WWE Anthology album, only DVD with matches.

Like a 6-DVD set with 2 DVD's on the best matches from each "era".

The Horesmen DVD is going to be the shit though.

[DaveWadding]

is it bad that I've probably seen every match from Disc 5 on?

[Loose Cannon]

try Disk 3 on

[MVP]

I better start saving.

[Evolution]

I can't believe the Over The Edge match is going to be on there.

[Xero]

Jesus... I may get it... I seriously hope it does come in volumes, so I dont have to get everything at once...

BTW, where did you get this info?

[LK]

Evolution, it isn't the Over The Edge PPV that Owen died at. This is the year before that was featured on Foley's DVD

[LK]

The title match at Over The Edge that Owen died at was Austin vs Undertaker.

[Gerard]

-Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair (Raw, 5/13/02)

Wtf, i dont remember that Cant remember hogan and flair wrestling in wwe around that time period at all.

[Boondock Saint]

Source?

I read that exact same thing on an actual DVD site and it was confirmed BS and just a wishlist.

It does sound pretty cool, but the price range is a bit much, even for WWE, which makes me doubt it.

It did indeed happen though. Best we forget about it.

I do kind of remember that. Flair was the GM of RAW and just turned heel, so he gave himself a title match. I don't really remember the match itself, only that Austin screwed Flair out of the title.

But the DVD set looks awesome. And I would really hope it all doesn't come out at one time, since I don't think I want to spend $400 on a DVD set at one time. I especially don' t want every single DVD, only ones I am most interested in.

[Disturbed316]

I think its bullshit.

[Boondock Saint]

Yeah, http://videoeta.com/movie.html?via=form&id=53095 this shows it as being retailed at $24.95, I also believe it's supposed to be a a 2-disc set so no way those matches could all be on there. Most likey just a WWE documentary-type thing on the belt with some matches and interviews.

I got this off of another message board BTW.

I probably should have asked for a source.

[Boondock Saint]

Yeah, the site where I read about it had a link to where the list was. Somebody's livejournal, and now the link to it is dead, so it makes me doubt it.

[Batsu]

Damn, this could be great, if not for...the heavy editing they'd do with the 1998-2002 matches, as James Steele mentioned. It'd be a nice idea for a DVD set if they actually go through with that...

[mrslackalack]

Some Matches that were great are not even on here Savage vs Andre HBK vs Bulldog etc.
