It's not rare to have threads to discuss specific titles. I'll be picking this up. I don't even really care that much about the match listing because of the subject but having that Cena/Punk match is a great plus.

Something like this deserves it's own thread

I thought the same thing after seeing the preview/trailer for the True Story of WM dvd, and that was a let down. Hopefully this one isn't more of the same.

Nice to have Punk/Cena. Although the MitB match is more influential, it's already been on two DVD's.

Interesting choices. Like i said in the dvd thread, i hope we get some 60s (or even 70s) footage.

I just hope they don't gloss over Hulkamania. I also hope they spend an hour on pre-Hulkamania things like Capitol Wrestling and the WWWF. What I don't want is 75% focused on the Monday Night Wars or the attitude era. We have enough footage of people discussing that period of time.

I can't wait for this (the 2013 Raw Punk/Cena match on BR!). It's long overdue, but I'm glad they waited until WWE went through this recent change to give us more to go over on the doc. It has potential to be something truly special. I believe this is the project they had Bruno work on in addition to the MSG portions he did.

Some people already got their hands on it

You had comments from Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backland, Lex Luger, Vince Russo and in what was a total shock to me Larry Zbyszko. On the second disc there is the Andre vs Hogan match from Wrestlemania III using a camera that gives the view of what it was like to watch it from the crowd and without commentary. Very cool to see.
