Seeing all these specials on A&E and Peacock now, what are some of the best WWE dvd's the company has released?
One of my cult icon DVD's is the WWF Action DVD. It has some great bonus features and it was just a great look at WWF up until the invasion.
What are your WWE DVD's the company has released?

Man, good memories of using my birthday and Christmas money back in 2008 to buy WWE DVD's.
I have:
The 2008 and 2011 Steve Austin DVD's
The 2008 Rock DVD
The History of the World Heavyweight Championship
The Hell in a Cell set
The Jeff Hardy DVD released I think in 2009
And a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head. But those are the ones I watched most frequently.
Also, not a DVD, but when I was a kid the Cause Stone Cold Said So and Austin 3:16 Uncensored VHS tapes WWF made basically made me love wrestling for life, so I have to mention those.

I went to WrestlingDVDnetwork and it's so sad that all they had now is monthly PLE DVDs and that's it. I miss the days when it was HUGE news a wrestler or stable was getting a DVD on them. Sad guys like AJ Styles will miss out on a career DVD retrospective. |

Sad guys like AJ Styles will miss out on a career DVD retrospective. Most definitely! I love the convenience of being able to see whatever I want on peacock, but man there was something magical about the excitement of bringing home three whole discs of matches and documentary stuff. Especially since pre-network it was a lot of stuff that was otherwise inaccessible unless you had the PPV's the matches came from on DVD, or taped them at home. Also a tangent, but the era I started collecting DVD's was kind of the transition point where WWE slowly starting producing non-kayfabe stuff. Like a lot of the stuff I watched was a look behind the scenes, but they weren't yet acknowledging heel and face turns, and stuff like that. Kind of neat to look back on. |

I've had a lot of VHS tapes, but never bought any DVDs. I still like having physical copies of things.

Here are some of the rarest WWE DVD's I own. WWE Live & Unscripted still sealed. This was randomly distributed in WWE magazine around 2006.  Did you know Kofi Kingston got a DVD in 2011? Yes, it came with an issue of WWE Magazine in the UK.  Apparently Walmart thought Torrie Wilson in a bikini was too risque for their stores, so they wanted an alternate cover of Great American Bash 2004.  This just a few, if people wanna see more, I'll post more. |

I wasn't able to get PPVs when I first started watching, so a lot of my early wrestling viewing was buying the PPV DVDs, catching up on the years before and getting the PPV that just happened about a month or so later.

Out of all the Best Buy exclusive Ultimate Fan Edition's. The one for Edge had the lowest quantity made at only 5000.  FYE exclsuive version of CM Punk: Best in the World still sealed.  Best of the WWF 2001: Viewers Choice. In my opinion the region 1 version of this is the rarest DVD they've put out at retail.  More to come, don't wanna dump a whole bunch of stuff all at once. |

The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection single-handedly paid for the WCW purchase, I believe.

The Wrestlemania 2000 DVD having a whole second disc of special features looking back on the history of Mania to that point, and things like commentary tracks on the IC triple-threat match felt special at the time.

They were the main reason I subscribed to Netflix way back when. It was the only way I could rent wrestling DVD's, because the selection at the shops around here was very limited to non-existent. Currently, I own:
Breaking the Code: Behind the Walls of Chris Jericho
Edge: A Decade of Decadence
WWE Greatest Stars of the 90s
WWE Legendary Moments (As chosen by host John Cena)
Royal Rumble 2004
WM 24, 25, 26 and 29
The Life and Times of Mr Perfect
Knucklehead (why? I've never even watched it)
Shawn Michaels: My Journey
Non-WWE related, I have the WSX set and The Calamari Wrestler.

What are your WWE DVD's the company has released? Not many. Most of them were filled with: 1.) Ridiculous documentaries that seem to be written by that John Lovitz' 'eh...that's the ticket' SNL character. 2.) Crappy matches with no foresight into adding context (promos, pop-up info, etc.) 3.) Not that many promos (I don't care how important Hogan-Andre is. If I don't know the story, all I get is a slogfest between two dudes that mean nothing). |

I have the Wrestlemania 6 DVD where much of the memorable wrestler themes are dubbed with...less good music. Its very irritating.

Ok so if this was unsealed, it'd just be what it is, the best of Nitro. The unique thing about it is that besides being a store exclusive, is that it has a UPC sticker on the back that is different than the normal UPC, but if you unseal it, then the normal UPC is on the case. So that makes this a really special, and really rare. part of my collection. That UPC sticker also makes this really hard to search for.  |

I’ve always wondered what “John Morrison Rock Star” was about. Was it a documentary? He was a midcarder that somehow got a dvd about his life.
