Bret "Hitman" Hart: The Dungeon Collection

[andrew8798]

First two matches announced

2-out of-3 Falls Match for the British Commonwealth Jr. Heavyweight Championship
Bret Hart vs. Dynamite Kid
Stampede Wrestling • December 1978

Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Sun City Superbowl [South Africa] • September 14, 1996

On the content of the DVD and sourcing matches: Bret applauds WWE for their solid effort to go back and source a variety of rare matches for use on the DVD, that fans may not have seen for a while or perhaps never seen before. He makes reference to Tiger Mask matches in Japan, and other early footage from England. Despite best efforts, he notes that a lot of the matches they attempted to acquire they ultimately did not get permission to include. A few Stampede Wrestling era matches are in.

On collaborating with WWE for the DVD: The same WWE personnel who worked with Bret on his first DVD in 2005 also worked on this new project. He has the opportunity to watch a rough cut of the finished product in the next week or so. Both Bret and WWE seem happy with what they found for the set and he naturally has a lot of faith in the Home Video department to bring it all together as a package.

On owning his matches from Stampede Wrestling: Hart confirmed that before his parents died they signed over every one of his Stampede matches, and any other footage of him, which includes interview segments too. He notes that it is always his decision to include them in DVDs, and while WWE can’t use any of the footage of him without his permission, he tries to give back some of the matches when working with them. Bret hopes that one day WWE make him a monetary offer to acquire his Stampede material so his whole archive exists as one.

Yeah, it's on 2 Raw sets (Raw 15th anniversary & Raw: Best of Season 1&2).

I just want it on an actual Bret Hart set...as I wasn't interested in buying any Raw compilations.

Still...I'm getting this ASAP!

[DZ: WF Legacy]

Awesome listing! So many matches I've yet to see - looking forward to the BR very much.

Have they released that Bret/Owen match from Raw '96 yet? It's on a Bret Hart VHS I have, and I'm not finding much information on it. We have almost all of the Bret/Owen matches, I think. I know they haven't done the one where Owen wins the WWF yet, and I don't think they've done the November '96 one either.

[Bishblast]

I have only been able to find Bret/Dynamite matches from Stampede in clipped form, if this is the full match (that I believe went 45 minute to an hour?), then this... well, I always knew this would be a must buy, but that's awesome.

This event aired on TV there in SA. Owen was on commentary with JR. Should be fun to hear him call his big brother's match.

[RedDevil]

Mere words cannot describe how much I want this set

Doing It Old School
Bret Hart & British Bulldog vs. Owen Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart
Albany, New York • October 19, 1994

This was the main event of the first live WWF event I ever went to (not this particular event of course; they toured England with this match headlining the Hart Attack tour)

I might just buy this DVD to see that match in it's entirety.

[celticjobber]

My only major disappointment with the full disc lineup is the omission of Bret Hart vs. Ric Flair in Saskatoon, where Bret won his first WWF title. Which as far as I know has never been released on DVD.

One of my favorite Owen stories is from when he was just a kid watching matches at Stampede. Dynamite and Bret were having a match. Dynamite whipped Bret into the corner but he took a chest bump on the turnbuckle. Owen later told Bret "I thought he killed you" I've gone on youtube to see the match and it was a pretty sick bump for it's time.

[Aaron E. Dangerously]

Goddamn! Lots of early matches. Wasn't crazy about that first DVD set of his (some good matches, some outright boring stuff) but I might have to pick this up.

It was on the "50 Greatest Superstars of All Time" set from 2010.

[Branimal]

This is an excellent set. I pre-ordered it on Blu-Ray as soon as I saw the content.

I can't wait to watch his Stampede stuff, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

[Deleted]

I'm looking forward to seeing the match in South Africa, as well as Bret's first fight with the Patriot.
