We noted last week that the “Daniel Bryan: Just Say Yes! Yes! Yes!” DVD will have an extended version of the WWE Network documentary, running for 1 hour and 6 minutes.
That’s still the case and we’re hearing that the rest of the set will be made up of 15 or so matches and segments, a new interview with Bryan on each of those moments, plus a handful more matches, interviews and extra “stories” included as Blu-ray exclusives.
The DVD version is planned to have a total runtime of just over 7 hours and 10 minutes, while the Blu-ray edition is planned to have a total runtime of just over 8 hours and 30 minutes.
“The Road Is Jericho”, WWE’s new Chris Jericho DVD and Blu-ray set, is now officially in stores across the United States. You can read our in-depth review of the new DVD here or watch a video review below, courtesy of our friends at WhatCulture.com.
“The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown” also released yesterday on DVD/Blu-ray.
I hope they reveal some Andy Kaufman matches / segments for the Lawler set.
I was so excited for Lawler to have his first Wrestlemania match only for it to be booked to be one of the worst in the event’s history! They should’ve put the Kiss My Foot match from Over The Limit instead of that high profile POS.
Typical lazy WWE!
Some of the Day #1 reveals were great. The Day #2 reveals were dreadful. The Day #3 reveals are absurd. This would have been a far superior DVD and Blu-Ray set if all of the matches included on the set took place before Jerry Lawler had ever arrived in the WWF. His WWF/WWE run as a wrestler has been such a joke and a disappointment. I wanted there to be a huge amount of his Memphis matches on this set. But, there won’t be anywhere near as many of his Memphis matches on this set as I would have wanted. I will still buy the Blu-Ray version of this set though.
I agree that his WWE career has been a laugh filled with dumb moments (Puppies!) and forgettable matches. Lawler in WWE is obnoxious, but it’s weird that you expect WWE to not include his WWE matches. They are the ones putting out the set! I don’t see Lawler stepping up himself to distribute any of his Memphis footage and paying the marketing fees to do so. If we had our way, I will agree that no WWE matches should be included, but you didn’t honestly think that was going to happen, did you?
noooow.. let’s make something clear as water:
The Puppies are NOT dumb moments.. the Puppies got attitude! The Puppies need to stay excactly where they are. Just saying.. 😉
Didn’t you say there was like 30 matches of more for this set? If so why are you only revealing so little matches as 2-3 when you gave us 6 on day one? Sigh!!!
Oh yeah, I won’t be picking this set up. I was hoping more of his non WWE stuff would be on there but so far there’s a lot of his WWE matches so that can’t be good.
“Oh yeah, I won’t be picking this set up.”
I guess that means it doesn’t really matter how many matches/extras we reveal per day then. 😉
It’s a bit of fun with a theme each day, enjoy the ride.
Well, the fact there’s so many wwe stuff revealed so far can’t be good because The King had an extraodinary career prior to wwe.
“…patience, my precious…” 😉
Anyhow, we still gonna wait untill May to own it, so wheather we get the full list now or in this exciting build-up to climax, it does’nt matter..
I like this way of revealing bits after bits.. makes it seem even more special.. 🙂
I for one am enjoying the slower reveals. It allows you to soak up the content and really come up with your own opinion if it’s something worth buying or not. And the cool thing is that some days releases are better than others. This really makes it interesting! Today was pretty good, day 1 was great, and day 2 was awful. In your case, after a 3 day reveal you aren’t buying it? There is plenty more content to come. You are jumping the gun. Finally, it’s a great tool for Wrestlingdvdnews.com to get people on the site more often, talking about the content, and looking forward to the next day. This is a strategy that works.
Thank goodness for Amazon prime! The Jericho Blu-ray arrived on my doorstep Tuesday morning…didn’t have to leave the house. Love Amazon prime! Have been using them since last year and every WWE Blu-ray I ordered since Royal Rumble 2014 til now arrived on release day.
I don’t bother anymore to get them from the store…Walmart and Best Buy around my house suck in terms of stocking WWE DVDs and Blu-rays – both don’t even carry WWE Blu-rays anymore. Stores seem to just carry what will really sell and the rest can just be ordered online and quite honestly WWE DVDs and Blu-rays don’t sell well enough for big box stores to carry them which is a shame, but I guess that is the reality of it.
I tried to find the Chris Jericho bluray at Best Buy and it’s an online only item. Both DVD and bluray are online only.
I don’t know if this is indicative of how they will handle WWE releases moving forward, but I have noticed the latest release is no longer featured in BB ads as well, and they always used to be.
This is the first time a new WWE release has not been available at all in stores, which I find disappointing.
your better off getting wwe dvds at walmart but they only sell dvd version or fye if u got one places like best buy are just crap now they dont sell anything wwe wise anymore really
Got mine in store at FYE on opening day and they were nice enough to put it on hold. Blu-ray was $22.99. I don’t even waste my time with Best Buy anymore. They always act like they have no clue what I’m saying when I ask for WWE sets, they do not put anything on hold as it is “against store policy”, and I’ve found them to be far more expensive than most places. When I do walk in there when sets are released on Tuesdays, they rarely have them shelved, waiting another week or two to have them. This is a consistent problem with them across the USA. I’ve lived in multiple states and have always had this issue with them. And they are ignorant enough to wonder why their stores will close soon. People have more than enough reasons these days not to even set foot in there.

The Best Buy closest to me used to have a wide variety of wrestling dvds/Blu-rays but now its almost comical at how many they had the last time I was in. Id say they used to have 120 total dvds spanning from WWE to TNA to a few off the wall ones but out of the 120 dvds, there were 50 or 60 different events/sets. The last time I went in was when the MSG set was released & by then, the only sets Best Buy had were the MSG one, Best PPV Matches 2013 & one other set. Drastic drop on merch if you ask me.
Alright The Headbangers make it onto a dvd! good choice
a bit “forgotten” and in some way underrated team, those Headbangers, so yeah, very nice to see them on a release out of ppv anthologies and the Attitude Era releases.. I love their whacky outfits and style..truly Trasher’ed.. 😉
“15 or so matches and segments…” Doesn’t sound like too many matches will be included on the DVD version. That’s about as disappointing as only getting 11 matches as Punk’s DVD.
What do you mean “15 or so matches?”
“On top of the bio we hear that there are over 30 matches and extra segments planned for his DVD/Blu-ray set.”
Ahh you meant DB. I thought we were talking about Lawler.
