*Damn lol.
The Ric Flair vs. Sting Great American Bash 1990 match is also on the WWE Great American Bash 2005 DVD.
Magnificent goods from you, man. I’ve be aware your stuff prior to and you’re simply extremely great.
I really like what you’ve obtained right here, really like what you are stating and the best way through which you are saying it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it wise. I cant wait to read far more from you. This is really a wonderful site.
“Is WWE erase Chris Benoit from history?”
Great job! FYI: three of the above matches are also on the old “NWO: Back in Black” DVD. This is in addition to the previously mentioned Benoit/Booker match from the Monday Night War disc. Again, awesome job!
One more thing. The concept of doing the subject matter justice is more important than having a fanatical mentality of no repeats to serve a small minority. If you have all these huge matches like Hart vs Hogan, Savage vs Flair, Giant vs Flair, etc and you don’t put them on a series called “The Best of Monday Nitro” which has several volumes, then quite frankly you are crazy.
BTW, I don’t think WWE is really listening to the no repeats fanatics judging by the Top 25 Rivalries match listing. They will do the best they can but business comes first. For something like Best of Nitro a handful of repeats is fine.
I’m guessing the Top 25 Rivalries is either a test to determine how many casual fans they have, or they simply thought it was impossible/too difficult to do it any other way.
The Best of Monday Nitro volume 2 had only one repeat. If they’re not listening, surely it would have had more repeats. Surely, they wouldn’t have made sure that the promotional material for the MSG set made specific mention of taking a never-before released approach.
Look, I realize you appreciate the company and everything it does. I realize you probably don’t like “negative posts.” But, you should realize that the company wants to hear what the fans really want. If you want repeats, while completely nonsensical as you’re basically saying you like to throw away money, that’s fine. I don’t and neither does the vast majority of their audience.
LOL you people live in a bubble and don’t understand economics. That guy walking through the DVD section will NOT give it a second thought if the back of the box doesn’t have anything that catches his eye. You are showing how incapable of thinking outside your “WWE DVD diehard” mentality that you are if you think that person will actually think “gee, maybe it’s on another DVD, let me look it up”. I don’t think so! You have one chance with that person. He’s not gonna wait a week for it to come in the mail. It’s quite simple economics that you appeal to the broadest possible audience (people that visit this site will buy no matter what) and you do that by showcasing the best of your archive. Imagine if WWE did listen to the fans when it came to Cena. Imagine all those t-shirt sales gone. Noisy users of social media aren’t “the masses” which is where the big money is. WWE isn’t a charity that exists to serve you — it’s a business.
You’re living in 1992. Please give me the address so that I can move there, too! Sadly, it’s actually 2013 and people do most of their shopping through the Internet. Don’t believe me? Consider Best Buy’s plunging sales and stocks.
To your next point about Cena, you’re now guilty of living in a mark world where everything the company does on any given day has to be what’s best for the business. (How come virtually no fans of real sports ever think this way? Hmm…) How can you be so sure they’d lose any T-shirt sales? Why, because the fans supposedly want him to turn heel and flip them off? You do of course realize that the best-selling shirt up to the start of this century was that of a guy (Austin) who flipped everyone off, right?
By the way, if noisy users of social media aren’t the masses that concern the WWE, then why are they all over it even splattering that junk on the screen during the course of their free shows and PPVs?
Instead of attacking posters who think out of the box rather than simply go with the flow and approve of everything that the company does, try to consider other points of view.
are wwe ever going to do a sting dvd
It can’t come soon enough!
Superbrawl 3 was February 21, 1993 not April.
Great list! I’ve made a similar list by wrestlers name. Where I’ve gone through all my wrestling DVDs, VHS tapes and blu-rays, and written down every match I own with each wrestler. It took about a year (I have about 100 VHS tapes, almost 700 DVDs and 45 blu-rays). I haven’t written what set each match is on, though. The list is nice to have whenever a new DVD is released. Then it’s easy for me to check if there is enough new stuff on a new release that I have to buy it.
BTW WWE doesn’t make money off the small number of “we” (diehards who buy every set). It’s the people with casual interest that the real money is made. Some of those people are going to be disappointed if the big matches aren’t where they are expecting them to be.
Assuming you’re correct, then why wouldn’t the casual fans, most of whom are buying things online, simply do a Google search of a given match plus “DVD” along with “amazon.com” and easily turn up some results of which DVDs that match has been released on? Furthermore, why is it that even the crappiest selling WWE DVD still manages to sell domestically about 80% of what a Bret Hart solo DVD sells or about 55% of an Austin or Rock DVD? Doesn’t that mean that a very significant part of the is actually buying all or at least most of the DVDs? I realize these are the average talking points, but sadly the numbers and the reality of the 2013 market don’t support these ideas.
Can you back this statement up at all?
I’m betting they make plenty of money of completist.
What are you looking to get backed up? The main thrust of my argument was to debunk the casual fan myth by showing that the even the crappiest WWE DVD release will still sell about 70,000 units, not a far cry from a Hart-level performer release (or someone like Foley). The sales figures will only get a significant boost when it’s a real special release like a significant compilation or theme (HBK/Hart Rivalry set), Hogan, Flair, Austin or Rock.
The reason I am in favor of repeats is this: if some guy is walking through Best Buy and he says “Best of Nitro Volume 3” and looks at the back and it says “Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart in their only meeting ever”, that might make the difference between that guy buying the set or not. If it doesn’t sell well, WWE might just say “well these things aren’t selling anymore let’s stop making them”. So in a roundabout way, having a select few repeats could increase the number of unreleased matches being released.
I disagree. If someone actually cared about a particular match, it wouldn’t be hard for them to track it down. As a result, they’ll find the match on a prior release and buy that older, much less expensive set. Furthermore, we’re no longer in an age of people making such impulse buys that you describe. We’re in an age where if they don’t offer something completely different, it’ll fail.
And, as fans, if we want to continue to get fresh stuff, we have to use websites such as this and also social media forums to make our desires for all-fresh content known. That’s how WWE will know that as consumers we’re appreciative of those efforts.
I think repeats are fine, but not if it’s in the same line of DVDs. For instance, in the “Best of Nitro” series, I would expect to see all original matches. I wouldn’t want to have a match on Vol. 3 or 4 that was on Vol. 1. None of that.
Now I would think it would only be natural for there to be matches a volume that would be a repeat from, say, the “Highest Fliers” DVD. There are plenty of matches from Nitro’s history that would fall into both categories, so that I would totally understand. Now, having the Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Dean Malenko from 1996 at Disney (dont’ know the date of the match) on, say, Volumes 1 and 4? That’s not cool.
Good job on naming what WCW Matches have been on DVD Sets.I was wondering if they’ll be a list for ECW as well?
Great job on the list, Cody. I can appreciate the hard work you put into it. As far as War Games goes, I like the spine on it. It’s going to stand out on my shelf a little bit.
This might sound bad but I don’t care, I just want disc three of the War Games for the nWo vs 4 Horsemen match where Curt Henning slammed the cage door on Woooo Natich.
Absolutely! The more Ric Flair they release, the more sets I’ll buy.
Good job on the WCW match listing!
You forgot one match. Benoit vs Booker from June 1, 1998. It was on the 2004 release entitled The Monday Night War and was match four in the best of seven series.
BTW….there should be some unreleased matches on Goldberg this October. Although people will probably be complaining about Goldberg’s World Title win being on there since it would be a repeat.
BTW it was 1999 not 1998 that saw the ratings decline. Most of the 2000 stuff didn’t get over. Does anyone really want to see Shane Douglas and The Wall over the boom period?
There is more footage from the boom period because WCW had more TV time. Nitro was 3 hours from January 1998-January 2000. There is a reason not much has been released from before 1994. That’s because that era quite frankly was terrible. Its just way too rednecky and dated to even watch now. Plus that was an era where WCW didn’t even have a full slate of PPVs and mostly had jobber matches on free tv and WCW wasn’t very popular anyways here. You people need to think of the business end of this here. Saying to not release that stuff ever again is appaling. Not everyone has the money or desire for all of those sets. If you have the only meeting ever between Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart in your archive, why would you only release it once?
First off, the only recorded meeting ever between Hart and Hogan was on a Nitro and that’s already been released on the Hulk Hogan Unreleased set. Go to Amazon and you can probably buy it for $6. Other than name value, that match is absolutely nothing special, but it’s still a decent set worth buying for multiple other matches.
Second, YOUR comments regarding WCW pre-1994 are erroneous and appalling. WCW had a full slate of PPVs, at least every bit as much as the WWF. In fact, WCW had 7 PPVs in 1993, while the WWF only had 5! Furthermore, the WWF always featured more jobber matches than WCW that almost always had at the very least a top-notch main event — something the WWF didn’t do with any regularity. Does that mean that the WWF was the second rate promotion in 1993? PLEASE, educate yourself about this stuff just a little before you post.
Third, who cares where YOU live and if WCW was on your TV? The biggest audience is the United States. WCW was on the internationally available TBS way before 1994 (by the way, USA network is only available in the US). It was also a highly rated cable program WAY BEFORE 1994. WCW’s house show business was the only comparatively lackluster part of their business and it’s not like the WWE has much of any of that in their vaults anyways. And, the main thing “rednecky” about that much of that era was the announcer. Funny, I never hear anybody make that complaint about the WWF’s Attitude era that featured the same announcer (Jim Ross who was paired with another redneck, Jerry Lawler).
For the record, I’m in CANADA, and I WANT MORE WCW pre-March 1994 footage! AND, I don’t care to see any more WWF footage from their 1993 to the end of 1995 (the worst period of WWF history).
Great work and awesome list! Can someone go through and make a similar list for the pre-1989 WCW/NWA/Crockett promotions footage?
are all these matches on the dvd set
“below is a comprehensive list of all WCW matches (from November of 1988 onwards) ever released on WWE Home Video, be it DVD or Blu-ray.”
The matches at this link are on the War Games set:

thanks m8 wcw r do a match with Chris Benoit in it about time
Good. Take note WWE: WE DON’T EVER WANT TO SEE THESE MATCHES RELEASED AGAIN!
For the one guy below me who suggested we might see some repeats on a future Best of Nitro, I disagree. If you closely evaluate it, there’s about 4 times more content from each individual year of 1996 to 1998 than there is for 1999 or 2000. That’s completely lopsided and something that should be corrected on the next, and hopefully last, Best of Nitro. 1999 and 2000 both had plenty of quality material to pick from as the company was continually hot-shotting main event matches in an effort to make a ratings splash and convince viewers to switch back to Nitro. So, instead of showing us more footage from 1998, you know, the main reasons why viewers tuned out, WWE should start showcasing the 1999 and 2000 prime Nitro moments.
Better yet: WWE, PLEASE RELEASE MORE FOOTAGE COVERING THE PERIOD UP TO MARCH 1994 and forget about the rest.
Whoa, that time Jericho got lost backstage is on his DVD? I didn’t even know that. At least I assume that is what “Hello Lexington” is.
Some of those Nitro matches that arent on Best of Nitro could be on a future set. Those are some good matches. I know some people were complain about repeats but let’s face it they have to have good stuff to put on the back of the box. Plus it’ll finally be in blu-ray(I find even old footage looks better).
This list is very cool indeed! Thanks for the hard work.
Awesome list! I recently made a list of all the WCW matches I own so I’ll have to check it against this!
Pure Awesome!!!
Nice list… not entirely 100% accurate since some source DVDs are missing, but still very good!
Wow, great job Cody. Think you made a typo though because the Rock n Roll express was Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson. That must have took you a long time!
