I am actaully really disappointed in this box set. Most of these matches I have already seen and have on VHS or DVD already. Example: Bruno Sammartino vs. "Superstar" Billy Graham - is on the Billy Graham DVD, although that's one the DVDs I don't own. "Superstar" Billy Graham vs. Bob Backlund - Ditto. Iron Sheik vs. Hulk Hogan - is on Greatest Stars of the 80s. The only point to this match is that it's the start of Hulkamania; other than that, it's a complete squash. Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior - is on The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels - WWE From the Vault - Shawn Michaels Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind - Ditto. Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart - Bret Hart: Hitman Plus any WM match is part of the Anthology DVD set. And most of the PPVs have been put on DVD, or at least VHS. So, in all, I think there's may be on or two matches I haven't seen. I don't think I've seen: Bruno Sammartino vs. Killer Kowalski, Bob Backlund vs. Greg Valentine, Bob and Backlund vs. Sgt. Slaughter. I htink that's about it. But then again, some of them I just haven't seen in a while either. ...
OK, who's the comedian? Not a bad match, but is it really in line for one of the best matches where the WWE title was on the line? |

I'm going to get this but they dropped the ball on it big time. Why even have you vote on some of the matches when they didn't put them on there? |

It doesn't look correct, and it's not very organized but I guess that's what the voting was for. |

Someone looked it up and a good deal of the matches weren't even on the ballot in the first place. I'm mostly annoyed that they didn't put Race/Backlund on there. |

If the WWE realy did go by votes, I don't see that match being added because I doubt a lot of casual fans who visit wwe.com even know any old school. And the other thing is that the DVD set is broken into three sections: Old School, Rock 'n Wrestling, and Attitude to now. It's not so much history or which matches are better/classic or not a DVD yet, it was more of "what would you put on a DVD set" regardless of what is out there already and whether or not it's easy to find. Also, Old School would cover about 20 years, 1963-1984. Rock 'n Wrestling until Attitude would be about 1984-1996. Attitude to now would be about 1996-2005. So one section for 20 years, one section for 12 years, and one section for nine years. That just doesn't balance out to me. |
