Check out the Match Listing for ECW Unreleased Vol. 2 DVD & Blu-ray.
WWE should of just called it “Random moments in MSG History” because that’s what it looks like to me. Triple H returning is a HUGE moment, but Mickie James vs Trish Stratus is just a random match that means nothing.
It was Trish’s last appearance in a match at MSG and she’s their favorite diva ever, so it actually is a pretty big deal to them.
Chris Jericho vs Christian – WrestleMania XX. That has to be on the set, that was sooooooooo awesome and is ONLY on the WM XX set itself but nowhere else. Please please add it to this set, it was brialliant inclusing the pre-match video feud re-cap and the aftermath! 😀
I think this set will be worth getting. I’m planning on getting it. I love anything classic wrestling. I like the mixture of years/eras. Can’t wait to see the rest of the match listing.
Just awful so far IMO, not sure why everybody thinks this is any good. The mixing of eras is what makes it awful. Most who enjoy 70’s & 80’s don’t enjoy all this new stuff.
Definitely a pass. Hopefully the Bruno set will be better and they are holding back due to that. I won’t hold my breath though.
Bruno/Graham – Watch this match just for the atmosphere WOW
So happy that I will finally get to see the Boot Camp match. A lot of great stuff so far. All I need to make this set perfect is Hogan’s title win and Superfly leaping onto Muraco from the top of the cage.
YES! Triple H’s return is on the set, which I personally believe should have been on the cover instead of Jkhn Cena, but just happy that it’s on there!!!
Cool to see the Boot Camp Match on this set.Seeing pre Wrestlemania 1 Is always good since I haven’t seen a ton of stuff pre 1985.
Not surprised to see the Boot Camp Match on there, it was expected but the other matches are nice additions
They also need to add John Cena/The Rock vs. Miz/R-Truth and Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk from Survivor Series 2011. It would be kind of ok if WWE decided to include Rock/Triple H Ladder Match and Stone Cold/Undertaker from Summerslam 1998 or Triple H vs. Mick Foley in a Street Fight at Royal Rumble 2000 even though they have been released on so many dvds and vhs tapes already. Also, I would like to see Diesel/Kevin Nash beat Bob Backland to win the WWE Championship. Maybe a Bruno Sammartino and Pedro Morales match would be nice. I’d like to see maybe Jeff Hardy vs. Kane vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho from Smackdown in 2009, that was an awesome match. Also, please release Ric Flair and Sid Vicious vs. Hulk Hogan and Rowdy Rowdy Piper and Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair from 1991. Also, make sure Bruno Sammartino’s Hall of Fame induction is on this dvd as well. That is it for now, if I see anything else, I will post it on here. Some people may say I should take over WWE’s Video Library LOL. Trust me, if that were to happen, you would be sending me tons and tons of requests for matches that should be released onto the dvd, and I would accept them all.
Is that the same Boot Camp match from the Legends of Wrestling DVD or a different one?
Looks like the Boot Camp match is new. The Legends of Wrestling Slaughter and Flair Volume has their match from April 1984 which was a regular match.
Because this is a Best of, you would think that the November 1991 Flair/Hogan should definitely be on there. But, it’s already been released to DVD, so I’m hoping they instead opt for the March 1992 Flair/Sid versus Hogan/Piper tag match. While not as good nor as historic, it’s surprisingly unreleased and it was also the last main event to air on free TV until March 1997. If neither match is on this set, you have to wonder what they’re thinking.
I would be cool with that tag match, three all time greats…and Sid.
I’d like to see any rare TV match like the second Tables match between the Hardys and the Dudleys on Raw in June 2001. Or maybe a WM XX match like Jericho vs. Christian or Benoit vs. HBK vs. HHH (I highly doubt this match will be on here though). Maybe Sid vs. HBK or Stone Cold vs. Bret Hart from Survivor Series 1996 would be good as well.
LOL! Trish vs Mickie? Really?
Plus you know HHH returning will also be on HHH’s DVD one month later.
It’s Trish’s last match on Raw before she retired.
It’d be in my top 30 most wanted to appear on this set, though likely around number 30.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BOOT CAMP MATCH IS ON HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the one match I absolutely wanted on this set,
I will not say anything negative about this set. The Bootcamp Match was #1 on my most wanted list and this set can do no wrong in my eyes now.
Decent additions in this update, but Race/Backlund remains far and away the best thing going in this set.
wow, i cannot wait for the MSG set to be released.
It’s a shame that Bruno’s second Title win over Stasiak in December 1973 at the Garden wasn’t recorded. Which is strange since WWE was already airing the MSG shows on TV at that point.
Trish’a final Raw match before retiring. Nice addition.
Definitely be getting this for the boot camp match and Backlund vs. Race. About time!
Oh no, not another Bruno Sammartino-Superstar Graham match!
A Sammartino-Graham rematch, I’m up for it.
Stop teasing us…give us the full listing!!!!:)
Yesssssss!!!
