www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=10038&p=1

Matches for the DVD include:

Steamboat vs Savage - WM3
Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich - Superclash 3
Slaughter vs Pat Patterson - Bootcamp match
Valentine vs Piper - Dogcollar match from Starrcade 83
Mr T & Hogan vs Piper & Orndorff - WM 1
Snuka vs Muraco - cage
Flair vs Rhodes - GAB 86
Flair vs Race - Starrcade 83

While these are good matches, of the 7 matches the following are already on DVD:
Slaughter v Patterson - HOF DVD
Snuka vs Muraco - Bloodbath DVD
Flair vs Rhodes - Bloodbath DVD
Flair vs Race - Ric Flair DVD

I think that for a 3 DVD they could have more than 4 matches that weren't released in the last year and a half. Plus they released the Wrestlemania history DVD featuring highlights of the 2 WM matches with announcing by Monsoon & JR instead of Ventura. Hopefully this DVD will have the original commentary restored.

That's a partial list. expect alot more to be announced soon. I can't wait to see the cleaned up version of valentine vs piper - dogcollar match. I have it on a blurry vhs.

This looks like one tremendous DVD---I agree witht he dogcollar match comment because it's an all-time classic to me

I don't have any of the DVDs those matches are on so I'm defo interested in it

Cover looks awesome too

[Klutch]

[DMR: MadisonRayneMania Fan]

I hope the Sting/Flair Clash 1 match is included, uncut

Also a WarGames match would be a great addition......

[VeggieOverlord]
