WWE Presents The Rise & Fall of WCW (3-Disc DVD) -- August 25, 2009 - Blu-ray Forum

djluis2k6 · 05-08-2009, 05:26 AM

No further info on this yet, but y'all remember how great of a job they did with the ECW release. Unfortunately, they will probably just be trashing WCW left and right, which sucks cause while the nWo was all of the place and the better wrestlers were held back, many would have to agree that they indeed had the best "wrestling" for a long time all around, especially with the extreme exposure the cruiserweights were given. This will be a documentary like the ECW release, but with 3 Discs, I'm sure will include many matches.

I doubt they'll just trash WCW left and right.

Especially when they're making cash off them now via On Demand.

It's a shame that WCW ended up falling. WWF really was subpar during that era.

They trashed the Ultimate Warrior, and they always made a lot of money on him.

I'd get it if it's on Blu.

I don't watch wrestling anymore, but man I did love the whole NWO/WCW rival back when I was in highschool.

WWF was better back then

Nation of Domination
DX
Stone Cold

I watched Nitro more than Raw back then. Well I watched WCW more than the WWF. Everything about it was better. And Nitro was live unlike Raw.

If I remember right the WWF started getting better when the NWO started becoming bigger and started recruiting everybody. (Macho Man, Sting, Bret Hart)

Couldn't agree more.

Then when WCW saw how popular those groups were they made the NWO and that was the ultimate downfall of WCW.

Never let your talent have creative control of the product, it's a really BAD thing to do.

Totally true. Stone Cold was the best. Undertaker was great then too. I'm amazed he is still out there.

Goldberg? Awful. I loved when the WWF had Gillberg lol

The rise n fall of WCW... three people to blame: Eric Bischoff, Kevin Nash, and Hulk Hogan. WCW had some good wrestlers: Chris Jericho, Booker T. and Chris Benoit(too bad he turned into such a POS) to name a few.

ECW shows were probably the best back then. RVD, Sabu, Mike Awesome and Dudley Boyz. Those guys put on a show...for little money though..some of them got their pay day when they hit the WWE.

Whats the point in putting all that SD footage on Blu just to have recent interviews in HD?

Mike53421 · 05-08-2009, 01:53 PM

Colour me intrigued, I would like to see how they spin this one. I hope they focus enough time on the rise as well, the fall should be amusing considering all the material they have to work with.

It definitely won't be on Blu-Ray.

WWE couldn't even handle the WCW "invasion" correctly. They buried WCW regularly during that angle.

Eric Bischoff was approached to do this DVD, but turned it down saying he has "no desire to give credibility to their revisionist hist.”
