Outside of their continued puzzling omission of the Slaughter/Shiek boot camp match, this is going to be an awesome DVD.
When's it being released again?

Yeah, I was bummed about that exclusion too.
Jan. 27th, according to Amazon.com. Oddly enough, WWE.com doesn't even have it listed in upcoming releases, so who knows what's going on there.

411mania.com updated with a similar list, so I'm accepting it as locked at this point:
Disappointed by no Boot Camp match with the Sheik and that we're getting Flair/Luger AGAIN two weeks apart, but the rest looks great.

Ditto on Luger, the space could be used for the full Flair/Perfect match from Raw, maybe something else good.
MAN, lots of Lawler and JYD too, although a lot of JYD is rehash. Surprised we don't have anything from either WCW or Stampede from him.
But correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is the first time we're getting a Thunderdome match on DVD, plus two matches not on the SNME DVD, plus more stuff from Clash of the Champions. Dare we hope for a Clash anthology next?
Next three months are going to be very good for us fans. Heck, next three WEEKS are going to be awesome between this and SNME.

I just read on 411mania.com that best buy is going to have a 6 disc version with 3 extra episodes (Hogan/Backlund, Piper/Funk and Andre/Sheik) I wonder if the 3 extra discs will only be episodes or have matches on them as well, I hope they have extras.
I've seen all the episodes and I must say the Andre/Sheik episode is the best 1 so, I'd hunt down the 6 disc version, and I guess this also answers why the bestbuy.com listing doesn't have an in store sku, maybe they're only going to be carrying the deluxe version.

I think this might be a banner year for WWE DVD releases.
One of the best things that WWE has ever done was buying and subsequently releasing sets with footage from WCW, NWA, AWA, ECW..etc, etc.
I honestly cannot get enough matches from the 1980's and 90's.

Smurf. Weather permitting, I will be headed up to the Best Buy in Lexington and getting this bad boy if true. Boy, am I glad for Christmas money! EDIT: Really want to see the match listing for the deluxe set. Interested to see if the Boot Camp match between Slaughter and Sheik will be a bonus on that disc. Also would like to see something with the Sheik from AWA too. Andre... oh man, I really hope the four or five matches they do are good ones and not just pulled off the old DVD. Big guy really deserves it. My only concern is Hogan and Piper. The docs will be good, but my goodness, haven't we already seen just about every match they've had by now? I mean, cripes! *sighs* And yet, I'll still pay for the deluxe. I'm sick.

What a pity his skills went downhill so fast and the matches from late in his career are screened the most, because the few vintage stuff I've seen is just so amazing for a guy his size. Agree with the earlier assessment, the E is just spoiling us something awful with these upcoming releases now and the rumors of what's to come.

And now 411Mania.com is reporting the story about the six disc set isn't true (surprise, surprise, was worried I'd gotten taken), but that Best Buy is doing something with six individual discs of the show. I am still interested in this, especially if there are extras.
12.97 a pop for anyone wondering about the pricing.

We'll see. I'll look at the pricing and determine the best bang for my buck.
Now, really gotta give the E some credit here, aside from Piper/Rude in the cage and Funk/Flair, I don't think I've seen any of these matches before. May not be the new Andre set I wanted, but I'm happy as we get the doc and a good match selection.
Can't wait for Tuesday, man.

What episodes of LOW are they going to have on this disc?. I watched The Monday Night Wars LOW last night. Excellent watch. Watched the worst characters in wrestling earlier pretty decent. Watched a little of the best Superstars of the 80's and now Iam watching Most Important Moments. Iam enjoying these and they are different from anything else the WWE has done before or released on DVD before. A few legends sitting down no fans round a table discussing various aspects of the business. It;s always the simp0lest things which are most interesting in life.

Six episodes all together, I think it's the 5 Stars of the 80s episodes and the Heatseekers episode. Since I am without 24/7, be my first time seeing these and am looking forward to it.

Well, got the Best Buy ad for LoW and I'm still a bit confused.
They stated in the ad that you could buy LoW vol. 1-6 and get 10 bucks taken off if you bought two. So is Best Buy selling the original three volume set and three seperate discs and you get all six or is it the three individuals plus the set disc set?
Just a bit confused, but am thrilled about the deal. Nice way to save some money and get a LOT of material in one go.
EDIT: Answered my own question. Best Buy has broken up the three disc set available at other stores into seperate discs and is selling them at 12.99 a piece. Buy the six on three seperate reciepts and you get 10 dollars off per purchase.
bestbuy.com/wwelegends has the offer and locations carrying the DVDs.
