Help me decide what DVD Im going to be getting tomorrow

[Shadowmancer]

Im doing big buy up for stuff tomorrow. Mainly for Uni and since I am going to be in Town I decided Ill buy a couple of Wrestling DVDs. Since there are quite a few that are going for NZ$15

-Hulk Hogan Anthology
-Bret Hart (I have this one already)
-Tombstone
-Ultimate Ric Flair (Its the first one not the new one)
-Jake The Snake Roberts
-Self Destruction of the ultimate Warrior
-Dusty Rhodes (Got this one as well)
-Roddy Piper
-McMahon
-Brian Pillman
-Superstar Billy Graham
-RVD

Im not getting the RVD one. Im sure it is good but Ill get a more definitive one further down the track.

So other than the Brian Pillman one which should I get? Cause I am definately getting Pillmans.

If you're jsut getting one, I'd go with Flair. It's long, has a ton of good matches on it, and is worth the money. Or McMahon or Warrior just for their comedy.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Im getting two. Pillman and another

 

[klunderbunker]

In that case, Flair.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Congrats on getting to the beasts number KB

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I've been looking to make a quick post to remedy that.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Tombstone has the Undertaker's entire career spanned out, right? Its not that 15-0 WM exclusive, is it?

If its the one with 19 plus matches.. go with Tombstone. I loved that DVD.

(Also, why would you wanna buy DVDs - Hart & Rhodes - when you already have them?)

 

[Shadowmancer]

I was just listing all the ones that were one Sale. and indicating which of them that I had

 

[TheOneBigWill]

If you want a good story, I'd say..

Ultimate Warrior. Jake Roberts. Mr. McMahon. (in that order)

If you want a good DVD filled with wrestling matches..

Tombstone. Hulk Hogan Anthology. (in that order)

If you want one with promos and matches..

Roddy Piper. (I bought this the other day for $5.00 at Family Video, its well worth $5.00 for all the Piper's Pit segments alone. The story isn't half bad either.)

I'm not including the DVDs you said you owned, or the R.V.D. DVD you didn't wanna pick up. I'm also not including the Pillman DVD in which I second your choice with, as it was a great DVD.

I will say this much..

I own the first "Ultimate" Flair DVD.. and its over 10 hours of nothing. Royal Rumble 92, in its entirety. A match with Harley Race, Sting, and I think Dusty Rhodes, Terry Funk and Ricky Steamboat. (I think) But overall, I have no clue how they filled it with 10 hours.. when it has under 10 whole matches. Maybe I miscounted too.

Also, I don't own the Billy Graham DVD because I never felt it was worth my time.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Actually that sounds about right for a flair DVD. What Funk, Steamboat and Race matches are they in terms of dates? I don't want to overly double up at some stage with the matches because I am getting the new Flair one when it comes out in New Zealand in a few weeks.

Possibly more that I'm forgetting. I don't count Pay Per Views (minus the anthology sets) because I own almost every p.p.v. from the summer of 96 on, minus a couple here and there from the end of 96/early 97. I know I own every p.p.v. from mid 97 to present.

EDIT: X.W.F. - Is that the promotion Jimmy Hart, Brian Knobbs and Hulk Hogan tried running? I bought that DVD and watched all three DVDs of it, minus I believe the Hogan v. Hennig match.

 

[Shadowmancer]

yeah the X.W.F is the thing Jimmy Hart and Hogan tried to run

 

[TheOneBigWill]

yeah the X.W.F is the thing Jimmy Hart and Hogan tried to run

It was okay. Reminds me kinda of T.N.A.. only their talent was worse.
