WDN reader “mmora1983” sends word of getting lucky finding lots of rare WWF DVDs on sale in local FYE stores as of late, including those pictured below.
He speculates that it may be because of more people beginning to trade them in, due to the recent launch of the WWE Network.

At a time when the company is floundering (stocks, WWE Network frame rate and subscriptions, lowest rated Raw this year, TV rights fees significantly lower than expected), they do deserve credit for some good DVD concepts this year.
When they announced this Great American Bash release, I was fearing it would be as underwhelming as their Best WCW PPV release ended up being. Instead, this Bash release is about as good as you could expect. It’s funny that a compilation dedicated to a single event is so much better than the release covering all of the events, but that’s what happened here.
Hopefully they can build momentum and fix the other far more significant problems.
Big show isn’t black
I am really surprised to see no Giant (Big Show) or Booker T. No black wrestlers at all, infact.
Interseting Extras. I love to know if WWE will re-release those attitude era dvd’s like Undertaker, Austin vs McMahon, Eve Of Destruction, and countless others
I wish they’d release some of those DVD only sets like Highest Flyers and Greatest Tag Teams on blu-ray and with extras.
They really should do that.
They should re-release Best of Nitro Vol. 1 on the day of the 20th anniversary of the first episode of Nitro.
They should also release future sets on only black superstars: Booker, Koko, Sabu, Ken Shamrock, and Gangrel.
You do know only Koko and Booker are Black out of that list right?
I think Sabu is Iranian while Shamrock and Gangrel are definiately white.
I really hate those extras. Where is Sting/Regal, Malenko/Mysterio, Goldberg/Konnan, Hogan/Kidman? The thing is that the last WCW release was the perfect lead in to Hogan/Kidman. On that you got Hart/Savage, DDP/Savage, and Hogan/Kidman from previous PPVs. Then the next release has the next step in the rivalry for the other two matches, but not Hogan/Kidman. Makes no sense.
Oh, I’m getting this baby.
Nice choice on the Mongo tag. Normally I’d say Mongo doesn’t belong on a best of anything, but that match was surprisingly fun.
Disappointing for GAB that no Rhodes vs Windham probably Top 3 best matches for that event’s history
That was just on WCW PPV Matches Vol. 1.
Looks like a great release especially for the unreleased matches. I take back what i said that this was going to be a waste. Definitely going to be picking this up.
Very good prices for the Attitude Collection especially for some rare ones like Undertaker : The Phenom & Austin vs McMahon. And I still dont get why people are selling off their collections due to the Network.
I still have the DVD’s myself along with every PPV up to Royal Rumble 2014 but sometimes if the internet is down and you cant access the Network, wouldnt you feel like watching a PPV, I know I can always go to my shelf and watch them. Same goes for the bios..
Great American Bash Blu Ray extras look good as does the match listing, I’m really looking forward to it.
So glad they left the wwe version off of this set cant wait to get it day one buy for me. And for the record I liked the 1991 ppv I can’t be the only one surely.
With these extras, this is going to be one of the best releases of the year.
Good call by David on that Sting match from 91 as an extra…
I think I’m confused. So no WWE GAB stuff? Not that I want it. But I thought…
All the WWE events had their own DVD release. And it’s probably best to keep this strictly WCW for purity’s sake.
But I thought the last Great American Bash in 2008 was a good show IMO.
I thought WWE’s version of GAB was pretty bad also and am very glad it didn’t show up and ruin this set. I liked the JBL/Guerrero feud, but that was about it.
There was a PPV in 2009 called “The Bash” which somewhat fits the lineage between The Great American Bash events of NWA/WCW & WWE
