I really hope WWE waits to release the new Edge DVD until after his HoF induction so that his speech can be included on there.
A few more details on it from WWEDVDNews.....

So finally got around to watching the KotR dvd set today.
Overall....okay match selection. I'm through disc 2 now. I liked seeing the '96 stuff since that was the first wrestling vhs tape I ever bought. That HBK/Bulldog match was better than I remembered.
I have one complaint so far other than the lack of Austin/McMahons from '99 being included. And that is the whole set feels....short. Like....it should have been a 2 disc and a third disc was stretching it. There isn't much substance or Booker T talk time. I get that the KotR ppvs were only good for a limited number of matches since most was filler but still.....some of these had more than 1 or 2 decent matches. They could have included all of the tourney matches from the ppv and made a real 3 disc set.

They're doing a Rock DVD right before his big Wrestlemania match and possible HoF induction (that's just rumored, though). Same deal for Edge minus the WM match. Does. not. compute.

I just don't understand what the dvd set is trying to be, is it a best of KOTR PPV's , if so, then why have the 2006-2010 tourny matches. If it is based of the KOTR tournys themselevs, why no 80s matches and why include the Bulldog/HBK match or HIAC 98 match? It just could of been so much better, i would have rathered it based solely on the tournaments so you could have the stuff from the late 80s, PPVs and 06, 08 and 10.

The 80s weren't filmed man, it was just for the house show circuit. Also, they have to sell the DVD somehow. HBK and the Hell in the Cell= instant buys.

I happened upon a used copy of the FYE exclusive Kane DVD last night. I already have it still sealed, but went ahead and snagged it up.

Well I haven't recieved it yet, but supposedly Night of Champions, and Hell in a Cell play on US players as well. As for the extras I guess you could check Silvervision's site. I can't remember off hand, and I'm at work lol. I ordered them from amazon.co.uk though.

Shut up and take my money. Come on Hogan and Angle. I know the chances are extremely slim for them to be on there, but I can hop. Lita and Rhyno are givens to be some of the people no affiliated with the WWE to be on there.

So I went to FYE today to use up the rest of my giftcard I had from trading in old cd's.
Got the HBK/Bret Hart Rivalries dvd and got Biggest Knuckleheads for 50% off the price...was $20 for both.
Upon getting home and opening up the Rivalries dvd I realized something on the match listing....I find it absoloutely mind-boggling that the match that was the culmination of the fued isn't included. WHY? That's completely idiotic. I get that it's on the Blu-Ray but the fued and the interview seriously hinge on THAT NIGHT.
I guess I have to buy the Best of Confidential set to get it. You'd think the match would get included a bit more often.

Went to Walmart, and saw that they were doing a 2-pack deal for WWE DVD's...for only $10 (w/ a code to download any WWE-related item off Vudu). It's mostly box sets w/ PPV's though (like Cena's "Word Life" set with Extreme Rules 2010), although I looked hard enough and saw that they had a 2-pack of The Rock's old box set with The History of the WHC AND a 2-pack of The Rise/Fall of WCW w/ the Ricky Steamboat collection. Probably would've went w/ that, but honestly...I was looking for movies. I could go one Walmart or mall trip w/out finding something wrestling related once in a while.

Well these arrived from Amazon UK yesterday. And I can confirm they play just fine on US Blu Ray players. I tested them on my PS3, and my Toshiba laptop with a Blu Ray drive. Hell in a Cell should arrive soon, and most likely it will work as well. Oh and for poops and giggles, I picked this up as well... My 22nd Tagged Classic. So thats 42 PPV's, and two year in review shows. Thats alot of importing lol.

It's on there.

Are these the full sets bundled together? So The Rock set plus the WHC set would be 5 or 6 discs (can't remember if the WHC set was 2 or 3 discs) for $10? If so, I may have to check that out. Last time I went to Wal-Mart, the only 2-pack they had was Survivor Series 2009 and 2010 bundled together for $10. I'm thinking that with the Vudu codes, this is some sort of new promotion.

They weren't released on Blu Ray in the US, so it's the only way to get Blu versions. Sadly they didn't release MITB on Blu in the UK, but from Summerslam on the UK gets every PPV on Blu, while we won't get another til the Royal Rumble.

I went to look up details on the forthcoming Raw & Smackdown Best of 2011 DVD and couldn't help but notice that Amazon has the following description:
Starring Aaron Aguilera, Austin Aries, Antonio Banks, et al. (DVD - Jan 31 2012)
Sooo... Jesus, Austin Aries and MVP are all featured on this DVD? What??
