My god...that is epic Please tell me that's the actual cover and not a fake that has been going around the internet? It is a damn great fake if so. Foley and Joey Styles were among the first to reveal it. It's out April 16th, and will come with a special edition Mr. Socko for a limited time.

It didn't specify when I originally heard there was going to be one.

It didn't specify when I originally heard there was going to be one. From WWEDVDNEWS: "Two weeks ago we confirmed details of For All Mankind: The Life & Career of Mick Foley on DVD and Blu-ray in April. It was also revealed that a free “Mr. Socko” puppet is planned to be attached to the DVD, or at least an exclusive version of it. This week we are hearing that the “Mr. Socko” gift is planned for worldwide releases of the DVD, not only North America."

I think the only one of these that would've been edited video-wise is WM 14, and even that one not so much as later ones as they were still transitioning toward the new logo. Remember with the video transfers that these shows were shot on SD videotape so there's not a whole lot that they could improve in that area. The only real problem with this set of DVDs were the audio edits, which I'm not sure I'd pay to upgrade for even at $5 each without adding extras to the package.

If this was Blu-ray single discs, I'd upgrade them all because at least with BD technology, four hours or so of events can be held on one disc without issues of digital compression. Now with events like III-VII, the big question would be indeed are these flippers or two-discers? If flippers, then no bite.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't do this with new sets or if they were going to do singles with like, say, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 first. This is certainly the most out of character release from them.

In your opinion, which of these DVDs below is the best? I'm only getting one, and it's only costing me $5 (long story) but just wanted to see what people here think.
My choices are:
The Greatest Cage Matches of All Time WCW Clash of the Champions History of the WWE Championship History of the World Heavyweight Championship History of the Intercontinental Championship Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century

My choices are: The Greatest Cage Matches of All Time WCW Clash of the Champions History of the WWE Championship History of the World Heavyweight Championship History of the Intercontinental Championship Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century I guess one thing I'd note is if you already have the Flair sets you have a lot of the matches on Clash of the Champions already. That's a pretty great set but there's lots of duplicates on it. Likewise, a big chunk of the WWE Championship DVD is the Iron Man match from WM12. It's hard for me to pick one or the other of these, even from the 3 I have. Intercontinental Championship is probably the most fun to watch, but like Clash and WWE Championship a lot of the material is stuff I'm overly familiar with.

If you want a documentary that's worth listening to, I actually liked the History of the World Heavyweight Championship (despite the very loose linking of the belt... which WCW was responsible for). They only show clips of some really old matches from the 1960s, but I liked the whole collection.

Sure there maybe repeats, not gonna lie, but Dusty Rhodes is a GREAT storyteller. His transitions in-between matches are greater than just about everything else available on your list.

They'll probably be basic dvds, but it would be nice if they could put some bonus features on them (for example, WM2 could include the hogan/muraco match where hogan got injured by bundy, or WMXIV could include the complete Boston workout segment (as opposed to just clips)).

Royal Rumble is out today, but I hope the Best Buy Blu Ray of Elimination Chamber has that Cena/Punk from last night on it. Doubt it will though.
