It’s Monday and WrestlingDVDNetwork.com has been WOKEN once again with a WONDERFUL new WWE DVD content listing!
We can exclusively reveal that “Twist of Fate: The Best of the Hardy Boyz”, a 3-disc DVD set scheduled for release by the company this May, will collect together a total of 27 matches that span the entire WWE careers of Matt and Jeff Hardy. The selections begin in 1996 (two years before the brothers would sign a full-time contract with WWE) and journey right through to the Hardy’s latest run with WWE which kicked off with a surprise return at WrestleMania, also featured here.
Joining classic tag team matches, singles bouts (including a few matches against each other!) and milestone moments handpicked from the Hardy’s over 20-year career will be newly-filmed segments with Matt and Jeff captured by WWE cameras late last year.
The full list of chapters follows below — what do you think; does it make WWE’s previously released Hardy Boyz DVDs (one of which had a similar name) OBSOLETE?! Leave us your comments.

– Australia: TBA. Look for your DVD pre-order announcement soon at Madman.com.au.
I’m getting the dvd because the 2008 release didnt have many matches and it only had one disc for both of them. I like getting the 3 disc sets because you get more matches.
Sucks it doesn’t have anything here from Jeff’s world title run.
Definitely a great compilation for the Hardyz.
However I admit that the only omissions that would’ve made this IMHO perhaps the essential best of compilation up to this point….the “forgotten” TLC from Smackdown 2001, the 4 Team TLC from RAW Roulette 2002, Hardyz vs The Bar from No Mercy 2017, Hardyz vs Dudleyz from RR2000, Hardyz vs Kane from RAW 2000 bc I enjoyed the commentary in that match, Jeff Hardy vs Taker Ladder match from RAW 2002 bc that match made Jeff and the Extreme Rules match they had Smackdown 2008, Jeff Hardy’s singles matches on RAW against HBK and Cena as well as his WHC match vs HHH at No Mercy and his world title win vs HHH vs Edge at Armageddon, the Hardyz vs E&C at KOTR 99, The Hardyz vs MNM vs 2 other teams at Armageddon 2006, Jeff Hardy vs RVD at Invasion and Summerslam 2001.
Well the smackdown tlc match from 2001 won’t be there because one guy Chris Benoit and plus that match has already been released it’s on the first ladder match DVD
They couldn’t fit all those on to a 3 disc set
If you are a Hardy Boyz fan this DVD set can’t disappoint you! It has some hidden gems, the big moments, the big matches, even the feud between Matt and Jeff in 2009. Even with the WWE Network existing this DVD set is a must have if you are a fan of this duo!
Talk about repeats! The Hardy Boyz already had a DVD called “Twist of Fate”!
Trueeeee and exactly 10 year’s ago too it came out
This is the reason I love this site: Dvd content reveals. I’m definitely not disappointed in this particular reveal. Good work.
Great set of matches, even with repeats. I wish their table match from Royal Rumble 2000 was on this set too.
its on their last dvd set twist of fate the hardy boyz story
I often have gotten the impression WWE is aiming for a new crowd and are abandoning the old fans. However, they do this often: someone comes back, they have some matches, usually a short title run, and then they make a set out of it. The problem is that much of the set can be found on past releases purchased by an older crowd. Some examples are Brock Lesnar, Dudleys, Hardys, and Kurt Angle. As RabidHeat mentioned, on this set in particular, we are even getting the same title, which feels like a lazy release.
While I understand it’s difficult to give us 100% new material every time, shelling out the same matches with a different cover is hardly worth the cost. Once in a while we get something for us old fans like the Macho Man unreleased set or the compilation of unreleased matches we just had.
I can’t blame WWE for wanting new fans just as they need new wrestlers. However, this release feels like I could have made it myself with all of my other DVDs.
You hit the nail on the head SRB. It’s been so bad the last few years with repeat matches it’s mind boggling. Unfortunately we only get a few sets here and there that are not loaded with repeats. It’s upsetting but that’s WWE for ya. I’m used to it by now.
as I mentioned below, literally 2/3 of this set have not been released on any of the other ones focussing on the Hardys – so even if you own the previous sets you’d still get a big chunk of content you don’t have already.
(of course, I would also agree it’s probably different if you own a lot of WWE dvds/blurays altogether)
I do own their releases as well as PPV releases, which is why I commented the way I did. If I did not own those other DVDs, my comment would be exactly the opposite.
I hardly feel this is a website where the casual fan comes occasionally. People on this site have proven again and again that they continuously buy DVDs and don’t plan to sell their collection because of the Network.
Looking forward to it. But the steel cage match from s. Series 01 was just on a release. WWE DVDs are getting very repeititve
Could be better but I’ll take it. The 2001 6 man is a nice touch.
Thanks for this Daniel; have WWE Home Video given any indication as to why they have been so lazy with the title? It’s pretty lame to call it ‘Twist of Fate’ when that was the exact main title of the 2008 release. I can’t think of any other time where a superstar’s set has been given the exact same subtitle as a previous one. Why wouldn’t WWE call this ‘Reborn by Fate’, a phrase which they must have trademarked as it’s been all over the Hardys’ gear ever since they returned? At least it would tie-in to their current merchandising then.
Brock Lesnar had a DVD in 2003 called Here Comes The Pain. In 2012 they rereleased the DVD with the same name. They also expanded it to 3 discs. Wwe did a good job with this DVD because they expanded it to 3 discs.
Even though they are repeats I was hoping they’d add more from their singles runs aswell. Especially Jeff’s title wins. Oh well it’s still going to be a great set and of course i’m going to buy it because I own all the other Jeff Hardy/Hardy boy sets!
“of course i’m going to buy it because I own all the other Jeff Hardy/Hardy boy sets!”
That’s probably more of a reason to not buy this one.
For me personally I don’t care if I already own all the matches on the DVD. I’ll still buy the set simply because i’m a hardy boys fan and I’d like to continue the collection.
Hua not bad just so so dvd. yah few repeats as a loyal hardy fan since wm 2000 so eh. maybe cheeper christmas black friday time maybe but eh for me
I see up to 17 interesting matches even though there are many repeats! Plus I would have brought it, but I think this will be a No since there’s no Blu-Ray 🙁
Not surprised to see so many repeats on here. You have to remember that WWE now more than ever is trying to market to the casual buyer. They already know they have the hardcore buyers in their back pocket. I was just reading that WWE home video sales are at an all time low. If you look at the recent quarterly numbers the company just released, they actually lost money on DVDs/BDs at the end of 2017. They had a $700,000 loss in the home media department. Compared to a $1.6 million profit at the same time a year ago. That’s pretty scary, but not surprising at all considering the Network has completely canibalized their home video market. That would explain why they’re drastically cutting back on BDs and if they continue to lose money in the future they may cut back on all home video completely. Anyone who doesn’t see that as a possibility is just burying their head in the sand.
Excellent comment and spot on about the future. In a few yrs Dvd/blu-ray will go the way of VHS tapes. Much cheaper to stream it for Wwe as no middleman taking a cut and no manufacturing costs either.
Scary thought. Hopefully we get everything we want before then. At this point, very little is truly unrelesed, though.
So much logic used here….you know that doesn’t go well with fans as they don’t like to hear the truth.
I’m surprised they didn’t add their world wwe or ecw championship wins which they should have added
I love it
Ha! Knew there were gonna be many repeats…. I’m just waiting for the Randy savage unreleased listing
Disappointed at the number of PPV matches on there – was hoping for some more Raw/Smackdown matches. How many of these are repeats from the previous Hardys set and the Jeff set?
if I’m not mistaken, these are the matches that have been on the earlier sets:
Acolytes vs. Hardy Boyz (Raw) [Leap of Faith]
Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian [Leap of Faith]
Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz [My Life, My Rules]
TLC: Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz [Leap of Faith]
Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian [Leap of Faith / My Life, My Rules]
TLC 2: Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz [Leap of Faith]
The Hardys vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch [My Life, My Rules]
meaning that 20 of the 27 matches have NOT been put on any “Hardy” dvds yet.
(btw: it’s also interesting that there is no overlap in matches between this new set and the earlier “Twist of Fate” two disc set)
One of those DVDs are long OOP and the other was released nearly 10 years ago.
The 8 Man tag from RAW is also a repeat from the Top 50 WWE Superstars release.
Honestly, for those of us who are new to this and don’t have the experience with WWE, these video releases that have an overview of the superstars’ career and/or best matches are perfectly fine with me.
That being said I’d love to see some Coliseum Video rereleases and NOT have those be exclusive to the WWE Network. It looks like the effort was put in to “remaster” them, so I assume WWE might actually be considering rereleases?
I would even be willing to bet that none of the Coliseum videos will get a dvd rerelease (just like there won’t likely ever be any Raw seasons sets, despite those shows being on the Network).
the only thing that I think might be within the realm of possibility is a “Best of Coliseum” dvd.
(which makes more sense for “casual” fans anyway. the majority of these likely hardl cares for random ** undercard matches from 1989 or so)
I was upset that the Coliseums got on the Network before a DVD compilation could come out.
Honestly, for those of us who are not new to this and have other WWE releases, these video releases which have many repeats are not worth buying.
DAMN WAT A SET LIST OF MATCHES AWESOMENESS
Good content but not perfect, i would have loved to see a documentary and the TLC matches against the dudleyz and edge & christian are on every WWE DVD Set. It could be cool to see WWE understanding that people who buy DVDs are mainly people who buy every WWE DVD Set. Could be great to see more RAW or SD contents on sets …
