I'll just list the ones I saw in theaters (rereleases dont count so no OT Star Wars films or ET, which I saw in its 85 reissue):
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Jurassic Park Titanic Phantom Menace Two Towers Return of the King Dark Knight Avengers Civil War Last Jedi Infinity War Endgame Spider-Man No Way Home
I've seen others, but that was on home video/streaming/television

What's with all these "_____ in the NWO" threads lately? And I'm just as guilty as I posted about the potential of Sherri in the NWO.

At that price, the 10 in 1 cart had better consist of rare games like Air Raid, Chase the Chuckwagon, Atlantis II, and Red Sea Crossing.

Remember the ending of the first Rocky movie where Apollo's cousin nailed him in the neck?

The ringboy scandal one would be hard to do with Tom Cole (the whistleblower in the whole thing) being dead.

It would make some sense since he was friends with Syxx. OTOH, he thought Nash was evil (his words, not mine) due to his "huge ego", so it would be a tense situation backstage.

An (incomplete) list of what's missing: Best of the WWF volumes 1-20 Hulkamania 1-6 Women of the WWF Even More Unusual Matches History of the World/IC/Tag team Championship Battle of the Superstars 1,2, and 1992 Grudge Matches 1993 Grudges, Gripes, and Grunts Bloopers Bleeps and Bodyslams 1994 Inside the WWF Wrestlefest 94 Super Slams Confirmed Hits Free For All
There's also the best of tapes for TNT, SNME, and RAW as well as some one hour tapes, but most or all the content on those can be found elsewhere on the Network.

Was watching some random mid-south from 1984 last night. Had no idea Wendi Richter was a heel there, let alone that Cornette managed her.

Actually, an episode on the WWF's battle with the PTC could be interesting, and likely the only time you could have a story where Vince comes off as the sympathetic one.

Black Saturday (reportedly made but unaired yet) Lance Von Erich Mr. Wrestling II Tony Atlas Brutus Beefcake Dennis Rodman (I'm going to keep pitching that one, there's lots of potential there, with stuff like him skipping practice for a Nitro appearance, though I'm not sure if they could get Hogan or Karl Malone, let alone any Bulls teammates)

The cancellation of Police Squad! because people had to actually pay attention. The Zuckers have actually said that they were running out of ideas anyway, so only lasting 6 episodes was actually a GOOD thing. They could have put Ted Turner's Cable Music Channel on this list as well, a one-month attempt at trying to compete with MTV that failed miserably: Wow, with this and Black Saturday, 1984 wasnt a very good year for Ted, was it?

Weren’t the Desperados heels anyway? Who knows? They'd probably be face when Hansen inevitably beat the crap out of them. Hadnt Hansen gone back to Japan by the time they came in?

Looking back at late-95/early 96 WWF shows, Ahmed Johnson was pushed pretty big as the next big thing, but aside from winning the IC gold, he never really achieved top-tier status. Was he supposed to be bigger but injuries hampered any major push, or was he pretty much going to be midcard all the way?

The few times I listen to classic rock stations, I NEVER hear anything from the 60s, aside from maybe Hendrix and 60s Zeppelin (and it's almost always from Zep 2, even the first Zeppelin album is too old for classic rock now I guess).

Cpl. Kirchner had potential to be a good Slaughter replacement as he had a pretty good look and was passable to decent in the ring, but his mic skills were too clunky with lines like "the military was tough, but not as tough as the WWF".
