I grabbed the Ultimate Warrior Blu-Ray today.... wow, what a set. The documentary is another one of WWE's finest, pretty similar to the WWE Network special, but there's a lot more stuff added, mainly involving Warrior's family... there's a touching musical tribute at the end. Something I truly miss about WWE is the way they used to do the music tributes - there's a great one at the end of this documentary. I'd always heard about Warrior body slamming Andre The Giant - that match is on here, so 20+ years later I finally got to watch that match. Also, Warrior VS. Earthquake was a match I always wanted to see. I haven't watched that yet, but probably will tonight.... The WrestleMania 6 Arena Cam is very cool! I didn't watch the whole thing, but from what I saw so far - it's almost like watching the match as a member of the crowd.... very cool indeed. I do plan to watch the whole match this way! My only complaint is that there seem to be a lot of "jobber" matches.... Warrior VS. John Weiss (or something), VS. Skinner, stuff like that.... but, hey, that's what a lot of Warrior's matches were. I kind of wish they'd left a few of these matches off & dug up some more of the hidden gems..... but it's a minor complaint. I also wish they'd put the Hogan/Warrior WCW Rematch on one of these sets.... I realize that match isn't regarded as a wrestling masterpiece - but, at least, to me - it has historical significance. I'm a bit depressed after just watching the documentary..... such a great story, about hope, redemption..... then death. Warrior's wife Pooch is truly graceful the way she's handled this whole situation..... the whole story is an inspiration to live life the best that you can! All in all, this will be (another) of my favorite WWE sets..... great, great job! PS: If anyone can tell me the name of the song/artist used at the end of the documentary, I'd be very grateful! Something about "Bring Your Light".... I watched the documentary and some of the bonus. Between this and the ultimate collection they pretty much covered warriors great moments save summerslam 92 match. My only minor complaint is that i would of preferred the promos have been mixed in with the matches. But all in all I'm excited to have 2 extensive warrior releases that can carry the spirit of my childhood forever!!

Picked up Backlash and No Way Out 03 last week to help complete my RA era collection. Got both for under £10 which was a nice bonus. Backlash got here Monday, but still no sign of No Way Out. Hopefully it gets here tomorrow. I've almost complete 2003 now.

According to WDN, a DVD/BR will be released on the Kliq this summer. That has my attention...

I'm assuming because of that it'll be the WWE Network documentary on them (It was one of the Monday Night Wars Episodes that looked at just them), matches, and the Hall Of Fame inductions. Interested to see what matches they'll pick. Hope HHH/HBK SummerSlam 02 and Royal Rumble 04 are on there. LOVED those.

From wrestlingdvdnews.com about The Kliq DVD/bluray set:
At the beginning of this year we heard of a reunion show with The Kliq (Triple H, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman) planned and in the works.
We were however instructed to keep that quiet while the final details were confirmed, such as whether it would be a WWE Network offering or a physical DVD and Blu-ray release.
It turns out it will be both – a WWE Network show and an expanded Home Video.
“The Kliq Rules” will, as of now, be a 3 disc DVD set and a 2 disc Blu-ray set. On there will be a reunion show (expected to air on the WWE Network soon), a new documentary feature, and likely also a compilation of matches and moments involving members of The Kliq.
We first heard of the reunion going ahead for September but the scheduled release date of the DVD, according to Amazon (link below), is July 28th. It looks like WWE have recently green-lighted the project and pushed it forward for both the Network and Home Video.
I'm pretty excited for it; seems like it'll be a good documentary/match compilation release.

I really hope the Kliq DVD includes the Diesel/Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon/123 Kid match. Great match, and each participant is a Kliq member. I'm sure that was a fun match for them to work.

Just finished watching the first disc of the new Warrior dvd. Never has a WWE Documentary ever filled me with so much heartache yet inspire me as much as this did. Still can't believe he is gone.

Watched the Warrior blu-ray set, everyone covered it already, I enjoyed it. The doc portion is almost exactly the same as 'Warrior: The Ultimate Legend' that played on the WWE Network the week he died, with new Dana, Indiana, and Mattie Warrior interview footage. They also added some footage from his YouTube videos. Warrior Week showed Vince was crushed by the whole situation, considering it was put together in a few days and I can see why, the look on both of their faces at times was that neither really knew why they had wasted so much time not working together. The moment I'm specifically thinking about is Warrior being shown all the ideas the merch/marketing/whatever department came up with for his character, that's what his face told me, 'why haven't we just been doing this all along?' I know what happened now, read Warrior and Vince's 91 letters, watched all Warrior's videos, I know Vince was lying about certain things, but there was still immaturity and bad communication on both sides. I'm kind of let down that Warrior himself isn't going to be involved with anymore representations of himself, and we'll never get a set with 'the whole story' as he said on the first blu-ray, but the whole story is out there to piece together anyway. The details of 91, 92 and 96 could have been illuminated a bit more, wish I could have read his book too. 91 and 92 both seem like BS firings from Vince, and I'm not too sure about 96, and WCW, well you know... I think my childhood started to end when the Ultimate Maniacs ended. I loved Bret Hart, but he was not a galactic grade superhero from Parts Unknown showing me, as an insecure child, what ferocity the human animal could actually muster, that you can shudder or you can snarl. Wrestling wasn't real with Warrior and Macho Man, it was unreal. The ring wasn't a place for athletes to compete, it was a place for Mega Powers to collide, Ultimate Challenges to go down, the camera flashes weren't people taking pictures to me, they looked like the stars against a night sky.

For some reason I love seeing Warrior vs Iron Mike Sharpe. lol Also the hard camera version of Hulk vs Warrior makes it seem like the whole passing of the torch ending was planned. It looks like Hebner goes to give Warrior both belts, Warrior only takes the IC belt, then Hulk tells Hebner to hand it back to someone at ringside for the spot. I'm not sure Hulk wasn't supposed to try to kick out at the end either, because it wasn't Warrior vanquishing him, it was Warrior edging him out based on one mistake Hulk made, missing the leg drop, so kicking out makes sense. I always thought it made sense to have some attention on Hogan there, like leaving in the cart while Warrior pointed to him, he was Hulk ing Hogan, it was a huge moment, the moment he lost for pretty much the first time.

Picked up ECW Unreleased Vol. 3 DVD at my local FYE today since they had it out early. Haven't had the chance to watch it yet, but by the review I read on wrestlingdvdnews.com, it sounds like a solid release.

I don't have the network so this is how I watch the ppvs if I want to see it haha The reason you finally found Fastlane was that it was just released the same day you found it - Tuesday, April 21. (For some reason there was a two month delay - compared to one month delay - in releasing this PPV on DVD.) Although did you mean - you finally found it after going to quite a few WalMarts - seems other people have been having trouble getting it at their first or second store. The WWE Network was free in February - you could have watch Fastlane and saved $9.62. In other wrestling DVD/Blu-Ray news - Daniel Bryan DVD/Blu-Ray cover art is out - www.wrestlingdvdnews.com/wwe-daniel-bryan-just-say-yes-dvd-cover/86231/

Mines not always the best sometimes. Anyways I have nothing to really watch the network on, aside from staring at my PC for hours haha...not happening

Summerslam 2003 got here yesterday and Unforgiven today. All I'm missing now is No Way Out (which is on its way) and Judgment Day (I have the disc, but I've lost the case.)

Not sure if anyone is a member of the WWE Fan Council but the survey today was about potential DVDs.
The biggest one of note, for me, was a potential Raven vs Tommy Dreamer set. I'm actually really impressed WWE is even considering this.
Other titles mentioned, that I remember, were Eric Bischoff, Top 50 Shocking ECW Moments, Booker T, Roman Reigns, JBL, The Year 1996, Lex Luger, Bruno, and Hogan. I can't remember the rest but I think there were a few more.

I'm definitely interested in a Bruno Sammartino release & maybe an Eric Bischoff one (if it's the same quality as the Heyman release was). The others you've mentioned just seem like they're better suited towards the Network...which means that they'll eventually be released on DVD/bluray in an expanded format along with matches and other crap.
