Unless they sit Vince McMahon and Eric Bishoff down to talk about their rivalry, I can't think of any other edition that there could be.

I know these will never happen but Flair/Sting and Hogan/Warrior would be good watches. Ones covering Edge/Cena or Taker/Kane seem more likely candidates but all are kinda pipe dreams I know but hey one can wish

That's basically a sure thing.

Since they started producing only DVD's, and with the exception of a DX DVD set, they seem to only be focusing on releasing real commentaries on their DVD's, not scripted. Telling the truth about everything, so I'm hoping it stays that way. With that said, I don't know that they would re-visit the Edge/Cena or Taker/Kane rivalries, cause those were more scripted rivalries, where as the Michaels/Hart would truly be interesting, Edge/Cena would just be more story telling.

pretty confindent it will be on there. I'm hoping for some more obscure matches such as the REAL first ladder match in 92. Also hoping for the Hart Foundation vs. Rockers match from SNME where Rockers won the belts that was never televised and then the WWF gave the belts back to the Hart Foundation as if nothing ever happened.

Pretty sure I read online that Taker/Kane was talked about but can't remember where I read it so don't put much into it

A semi off topic question:
I'm Re-Watching The story of Wrestlemania blu and was wondering how they get the old SD footage to be 16:9. I'm pretty sure it was all filmed on tape in 4:3

They must've cropped it.

Yeah, or their Survivor Series 92 WWF title match. Maybe the Survivor Series 93 tag match they were involved in, too. Would be cool.

If you think they are only going to do non-scripted storylines, then why would Austin/Rock be rumored to be next? Those two are buddies, and only feuded in storylines.

Maybe that's why that release date was removed.

They zoomed in an all of that "wide screen" footage.

I think Austin/Rock will be released before Hart/HBK.
I'm not going to buy this on blu, however, I'll def. buy on dvd.
Don't really see the need. Can't see how they'll be able to clean up the matches since they were shot on video.

Hart/HBK is already being worked on. Interviews have been done and a release date has been set. Austin/Rock is in the planning stages I think.

Wrestling is one thing I still wouldnt buy on blu, Its one genre I still like buying the DVD's of, that being said I'm only intrested in 80's/early 90's stuff so an upgrade is not an option. I probobly already have all the matches and can watch the new interviews on youtube when they come available so ....pass.

Haven't bought a WWE title in a while, are they still blurring the hell out of their old footage to remove the WWF scratch logo? And muting any mentions of "WWF" or "World Wrestling Federation"?

Because if they are they seriously need to make a deal with the World Wildlife Fund to preserve their archived footage, it's ridiculous.

Yes, still blurring the scratch logo.

"WWF" yes, "World Wrestling Federation" no.

Austin/Rock is supposed to be released in Nov or Dec.

What a meaningless comment that has no baring on the video source quality whatsoever. They still release most of their videos as DVD only, and are even scaling back on the number of PPVs which get blu-ray editions (which sucks). Being a so-called "Sports Entertainment koolaid drinker" has nothing to do with anything being discussed here.

The best feuds in WWF/WWE history are in SD anyway.
