By the way I've been meaning to ask. They send these things in the actual cases right? These DVD's being so cheap makes me wonder. And its cool to see you pick the SNME DVD you were talking about before. Yes, every DVD I've received has been in its original packaging. And most of the time they're shipped individually, so every sale is like Christmas but better. Well thats a relief. Anyways my Best of Raw 2010 Blu Ray arrived today...well yesterday afternoon. So I'm watching it, and it gets to the segment where Undertaker accepts HBK's challenge for Wrestlemania. This where the clarity of Blu Ray really stands out, and sometimes not in a good way. The close ups of Undertakers face show that he has all the yellow stuff around his mouth. Its like he ate a bunch of hot dogs in the back before he came out, and got mustard all over his face, and it dried up. Its really gross. And yes I had to share that, so that my disgust becomes your disgust lulz.

It's a great DVD, definitely one of my main favorites. We need a volume 2, but since SNME hasn't aired in a few years, I don't see it happening soon. I've been arguing for the longest time for SNME anthology. Forget Volume 2, if they can do Best of RAW Seasons, why not SNME? And while we're on the subject, where is the darn Best of Clash of the Champions DVD? Trust me, there are some pretty bad SNME matches and segments. Sure alot of early WWE PPV's had bad matches on them as well, but they were part of something more historically significant. The Bushwhackers and The Fabulous Rougeau's have wrestled each other on a Wrestlemania, and on a SNME. Both matches sucked, but one was part of Wrestlemania, and the other was a throwaway match during the last segment of a late night wrestling show. Also, for every Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage match on SNME, you had 10 Dino Bravo vs. Ronnie Garvin matches. So one more Best of SNME would be good enough. Don't believe me? Let me list some SNME "classics". The Junkyard Dog (with his mother, Bertha Ritter) defeated Pete Doherty Uncle Elmer (with Hillbilly Jim and Cousin Junior) defeated Jerry Valiant Nikolai Volkoff (with Freddie Blassie and The Iron Sheik) defeated Corporal Kirschner Kamala (with The Wizard and Kim Chee) defeated Lanny Poffo Koko B. Ware defeated Nikolai Volkoff Blackjack Mulligan defeated Jimmy Jack Funk One Man Gang (with Slick) defeated Ken Patera The Big Boss Man (with Slick) defeated Jim Powers Jimmy Snuka defeated Boris Zuhkov And because I had to. Dino Bravo (with Jimmy Hart and Earthquake) defeated Ronnie Garvin Yeah..... Just a Volume 2 is looking alot more appealing. Of course I actually like watching those crappy matches, but I don't think WWE would wanna showcase those kind of matches on an expensive anthology. Like I said, its different with the early PPV's they are more historically significant. We should count ourselves as lucky if we get a Volume 2 at all.

So I finally sat down and watched my Bret Hart disc that came with SvR 2011, and I was happy to see that it was the documentary portion of the disc. My question is should I buy the full set for the other two discs?

First, I thought Bushwackers/Rougeaus was at the Rumble, not Mania. Second, yeah, I know. I lived through some cure for insomnia matches in the days of SNME, but I dunno, good and bad, I do enjoy the whole of SNME. I agree on a Vol. 2, but I'd much rather have the anthologies, just as a preference.

To answer one question. I know Taker was burned, I think it was the night before. Dosent change that it looked gross lol.
Also, the Bushwhackers and Rougeaus wrestled at Wrestlemania 5, and Royal Rumble 90. Plus the September 89 SNME. And the Whackers won them all. Sad really.

You are aware he was also burned the night or week before at the 'Chamber PPV right? Wait, what? I have a bad memory, but what? 'Taker got burned. The fire pyro at the beginning of his entrance went off too early and right in his face. It resulted in Undertaker literally running into his Chamber pod and getting patted down with water for a while before his entrance into the match.

The Stone Cold Truth also arrived Yesterday. Is it me or is this the shortest WWE documentary ever? Its less than 50 friggin minutes! While some of the extras are decent, there arent nearly enough to compensate over such a short feature program. Very glad I only paid like 2 bucks for this.

Best of RAW 2009 arrived in the mail and a gift card got me Top 50 Superstars of All Time.
I may live to regret this, but my local Hastings had Hard Knocks used for 14 bucks. I just couldn't pulled the trigger, much as I want it.
While we're on the subject, my local Hastings had a lot of used WWE DVDs but the spine part of the packaging was missing on all of them. So, if you put them on your shelf, you'd have no idea what the DVD was. No thank you.

My Austin DVD from Gohastings had it's spine, perhaps it's just some guy trading them in like that at your local store. If any of mine show up like that, I send them back.
I also picked up Undertaker: This is my Yard on half.com for 10 bucks earlier.

I really enjoyed the documentary and the slightly different approach to their typical style. The interviews and segments with his family were pretty cool.

Like the Cheating Death, Stealing Life documentary for Eddie Guerrero, they were one-hour documentaries for television. I believe both aired on UPN. That's why they are so short.
