Surprised to see

[Show spoiler]Sting make the list since it's so close to Hart's, and I expected them to keep it to WWF/E wrestlers.

[Bluprint]

In Shawn Michael's segment they have to highlight the "Sweet Chin Music on Sheldon Benjamin" I thought he killed Sheldon!

[bullets]

They recreated the spot with Rey Mysterio in 2009.




That's a great set. I hope all those matches are included in the U.S. Release.

This is for the US release.

[Alphamale87]

Looks like a great set, though they could've featured more matches from the 80's/90's and left out the WCW matches.

[fiveseven4combat]

I'm surprised that the FU/AA isn't #1, switch RKO with Rock Bottom and I would say the top 4 could be interchangeable and not too many would complain any order. I love The Rock, but Orton hits that KO from the craziest spots (Reversing Carlito's Springboard, Punk's Flying Clothesline, and Bourne's Shooting Star)

[ccg1978]

Lol

[HoonieHoon]

I'm always a sucker for releases like these. I'll probably end up picking it up

Whats the bonus content?

[spanky87]

I would like to see CM Punk deliver a Pepsi Plunge to Triple H one day. Highly unlikely though.

A pedigree off the top rope to the Game? The WWE would never let that happen.. unless he renamed it the Tout Plunge or the Twitter Plunge.

[Il Cattivo]

why is hogan's leg drop on there? i thought this was for the greatest finishing moves ever, not the lamest...

Its lame only because wrestlers in the modern era do it and it doesnt keep the other wrestler down for more then a second but back when Hogan did it they made it believable. Think of a 302lb guy jumping 4 feet in the air onto your neck at the end of a match, that should keep most men down for a three count.

[spanky87]

It's good to see the Trish/Lita Raw main event included in this, back when I actually cared about women's wrestling. I've been wanting to get a good quality version of this for a long time. This is going to sound strange, but that's the match that is making this a day 1 for me.

Also, should we expect to see the following match uncensored, with the scratch WWF logo in all its glory? I don't know if the new settlement was made before these discs were being pressed.

Exactly what I came into this post to ask about? I just pre-ordered it from Best Buy so I guess I will find out and let y'all know Tuesday morning (if someone doesn't beat me to it).

[Devilutionary]

i'm also kinda sketched out by the "DVD only exclusive content" Is the blu ray up until this point only going to be a better picture?

I would also like to know what the best buy exclusive is. Guess i'll have to read on tuesday like everyone else.

[ZTStyles]

In regards to the exclusive Best Buy content, I assume this will work the same way as it did for the Clash of the Champions set.


The Blu version of the release will have extra content over the standard DVD release, just like pretty much any other WWE BD that has been released.


The Best Buy exclusive will be DVD only, with a couple extra matches over the regular DVD.

[spanky87]

This isn't a big deal, but I don't like how there isn't a match listing insert, or the match listing printed on the reverse side of the cover. WWE home video used to always include it.
