Web Conn Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I always thought that Starcade & Great American Bash anthology sets would be really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nobody but us would buy it, and it'd have a ton of shitty '80s WWF stuff on it, but a Harley Race comp with doc would really rule. I guess that depends on how much '70s footage they have however. Does Motoko Baba still own the All Japan tape rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul sosnowski Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think its really cool that the new WWE Best of MSG set has the Backlund-Patera match of the year from 1980, and also, a rather strange selection, from 8/10/85 Andre and Orndorff vs Piper & Orton which was the main event of the first Garden show I ever attended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Based on the AWA and World Class documentaries I watched on Netflix. I'd be interested in learning about the rise and fall of just about every defunct wrestling organization over the years. I didn't witness the Von Erich/Freebird fued, but watching the highlights on the DVD made me understand 100% why it is so fondly remembered. Michael P.S. Hayes was a fucking heat machine, and I felt a kind of nostalgia watching it despite not seeing it as it happened. I'd love to see the same type of documentary about the early days of New Japan and All Japan until the Noah split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietShooter Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'd love to see the same type of documentary about the early days of New Japan and All Japan until the Noah split. I was just thinking about how interesting a book or documentary about the Japanese wrestling promotions would be. The story of Rikidozan is somewhat well-known, but aside from Baba/Inoki being his students and then starting their own promotions, there isn't much on the subject after him. I know because of the yakuza involvement with the business, and with there still a sense of sport/kayfabe about wrestling there, it probably would never happen. Hell, I would enjoy an in-depth bio of Inoki or Baba - even if translated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I wonder if they have the Tommy Rich/Buzz Sawyer Last Battle of Atlanta match that seems to be lost to the sands of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've always wanted to see the RVD/Sabu vs. Furnas/LaFon matches and have never been able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I wish there was some more official releases from Japan. A lot of it is online but having it neatly put together on dvd would be nice. I really want a Best of Velocity. That show got me into wrestling more than Raw or Smackdown ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I said it on the old board but a documentary on the Tommy Dreamer - Raven feud would be really cool I'd actually like to see a Scotty Levi documentary in general. The psychology behind the Raven - Sandman feud was mind blowing and the interview with Levi in the Forever Hardcore documenatary barely scratches the surface of the stories that guy has.

Newb82 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Is Rey's first WCW Cruiserwight title win on any releases? The two Nitro sets have annoyed me with that not being in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellsworth Toohey Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Jim Crockett Promotions debut in at the Meadowlands with War Games III (Tully/Arn/Midnights vs. Dusty/Nikita/Rock N Rolls) from November 87 Is this available anywhere? My bad, it was actually the debut at the Nassau Coliseum and involved Tully/Arn/Big Bubba/Midnights vs. Dusty/Ron Garvin/Barry Windham/Rock N Rolls. Still, I want to see that just because it was totally different from Horsemen vs. Road Warriors/Nikita/Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuttsy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Superstars/ Wrestling Challenge anthologies, like the wweclassics.com series. Even if they sold them as web-exclusive downloads with no actual discs it'd be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
