The anticipated 3-disc DVD collection is chock-full of brand new, never-before-seen matches and is due to hit stores next Monday in the United Kingdom (£20.99; Amazon.co.uk) and will follow next Tuesday across the United States ($17.99; Amazon.com).
Sadly that means there’s still one week left to get your hands on it and add it to your DVD shelf, but if the excitement is getting too much you’ll be pleased to see what’s coming next — WrestlingDVDNetwork.com has exclusive first look photos before it’s made available anywhere!
“WWE UNRELEASED 1986-1995” will come packed with 8 hours and 21 minutes of content; that’s made up of a colossal 45 completely unseen and unreleased matches unearthed for the first time!
Those bouts will be joined by a unaired Piper’s Pit segment and not forgetting newly filmed host segments that feature the return of former announcer Sean Mooney. READ THE REVIEW.
This one-of-a-kind set is housed in the Digipak-style packaging with artwork of WWE legends the likes of The Undertaker, Andre the Giant, Bret Hart, Diesel, Mr. Perfect, Yokozuna, Dusty Rhodes, Shawn Michaels, Randy Savage, and Ted DiBiase, along with a full content listing of each dish. Thanks goes out to WDN reader JayJayRock206 for sharing these early pics.
OOPS!! First-run copies in the US still have the “1985-1996” typo written on the back cover.

The front says 1986 and the back says 1985. Not that big of a deal considering how awesome the the rest of it looks. I love the photos that look like paintings. Has a timeless quality.
Not only are there Hulk Hogan matches on this set, but his name is also on the back cover description. So much for them trying to erase him from history.
Google the word sarcasm. It was a knock on all the people that have been saying WWE is trying bury Hogan and erase him from history. Clearly they’re not.
Ok that’s fine but for once I wasn’t looking to argue with you even though I always have a reason to. You don’t realize that your constant snarky comments that you make all the time gets old after a while therefore you obviously look for an argument because you make them all the time. You might not realize it but it’s true it’s dam true.
That’s the problem with reading comments. You can’t always tell the intent or the inflection in someone’s voice when they type something. Sometimes sarcasm is lost. In this case I thought it was obvious after the last couple of weeks of trying to tell people that WWE isn’t erasing Hogan.
I don’t think they had a choice but to put a few of his matches on there. He’s arguably the biggest name of that era. Doesn’t mean they haven’t erased other things though and that’s what you need to realize. He doesn’t even have an action figure anymore for Christ sakes how could you think that Hogan hasn’t been erased in alot of ways? That to me is obvious. Yeah they throw a match or two of his on a DVD here and there but that’s about it.
His matches are on DVDs (including random compilation sets), his matches are on the Network (including the Network search engine), he’s in their Encyclopedia (complete with a 2 page spread) and other books and he’s in commercials advertising the Network(which are shown on Raw and Smackdown). Not having an action figure or being in a video game isn’t erasing someone.
As someone who grew up obsessively watching in the 80s and 90s, this is an amazing set in my book. I’m someone who can’t get enough Hogan, Macho, and Warrior, and although I am yet to see the set, nostalgia is enough to get my money. Although this set received a not so great review on this site, I’m not buying it for classic matches or memorable moments, but just for the chance to recapture my golden years.
Exactly! I spent hours reading and re-reading all the TV taping results in PWI and the like, always imagining what these dark matches would be like. Don’t care in the least if they’re any good, just need to finally see them! I’ll be watching this set many times over for the novelty and nostalgia, regardless of the match quality. This set is an absolute gem for a fan like myself.
There’s just no excuse for that error on the back. None whatsoever. I mean, are they professionals or what? Do they not get a couple of people in the office to proof-read it? It reminds me of the errors that litter the backs of the old TNA DVDs.
True, but normally the misprint is more subtle, like somewhere in the match listing leaflets inside, i.e. just a date or an individual’s name slightly misspelled, which is somewhat understandable when working with a lot of information. This, however, is part of the TITLE of the f’in release, in large text on the back cover, which could have just been copied and pasted from the front cover. No excuse at all for that.
Mark Markson- Chavo Guerrero is also spelled Guerrera in that Rey relase. The Ultimate Dragon is correct though. He went by both Ultimate/Ultimo names. In the VHS release of Spring Stampede 97, the ring announcer, commentary team & name going across the sceen when he enters says Ultimate Dragon.
I just remember reading about these typos when it was released, and it was mentioned that Ultimo Dragon was spelled wrong. But maybe you are right.
I have a feeling that there must have been some kind of autocorrect in the program they used to type the matchlisting. Because earlier on the listing, Fuerza Guerrera and Juventud Guerrera are listed. Either that, or whoever typed the matchlisting is an employee who is not a wrestling fan. 🙂
If someone doesn’t lose their job over that misprint then I don’t know what’s going on over at the WWE DVD factory. That’s a pretty big error if you ask me. I’m waiting for it to happen on a front cover next.
Have this pre-ordered from Fremantle, so hoping it might arrive before the end of the week. I hear that it’s not the best set, but looking forward to seeing the fresh content nonetheless.

Sorry to be blind, but will someone enlighten me on the error?

The correct years are 1986-1995. The back cover, twice, says 1985-1996. They added 3 extra years.
*2 extra years
Not only are there Hulk Hogan matches on this set, but his name is also on the back cover description. So much for them trying to erase him from history.
So are you against that LP1?? Would you rather there be no Hogan on there?? Just curious

Pardon me. Google the word prick you don’t have to be one I was just asking a question.
No you weren’t. You were looking for an argument. Especially after we already had this conversation a couple of weeks ago about Hogan.

You can’t erase Hogan anyway. One of the biggest wrestling stars of all time.
love the inside arkwork. the front and back cover is pretty awesome too. as far as the track listing of the matches, looks pretty good.
Wonder if the “1985-1996” 1st run copies will be a collector’s item like the 1st cover version of the Owen DVD.
Same
Same with nWo Sting on back of the Sting release.******
Cool things to have in the collection (if that’s your thing) but I’d guess this one isn’t really as significant as the Owen ‘alternate’ cover.

Cool thing is, there are still results from certain TV tapings that still aren’t known yet.

This isnt even the first time WWE has made a mis print!!!
True, but normally the misprint is more subtle, like somewhere in the match listing leaflets inside, i.e. just a date or an individual’s name slightly misspelled, which is somewhat understandable when working with a lot of information. This, however, is part of the TITLE of the f’in release, in large text on the back cover, which could have just been copied and pasted from the front cover. No excuse at all for that.
The first 3 disc set they did for Rey Mysterio comes to mind. Ultimo Dragon was Ultimate Dragon, and Eddie Guerrero was Eddie Guerrera.
Mark Markson- Chavo Guerrero is also spelled Guerrera in that Rey relase. The Ultimate Dragon is correct though. He went by both Ultimate/Ultimo names. In the VHS release of Spring Stampede 97, the ring announcer, commentary team & name going across the sceen when he enters says Ultimate Dragon.

Mark Markson- The errors have also made it to WWE tv recently. Before Mania, they showed a rewind of WrestleMania 14 & had 1997 as the year.
There was a no dq match on RAW not too long ago & it said something like “No Disqualfcation” with a letter or two missing on the graphic for it.
The year Rollins won MITB,I believe it was on his entrance graphic on the next pay-per-view, it said Money in the Back winner.
There’s certain websites that make constant errors and never fix them.
Obviously. But what’s your point?
That is pretty funny that they never fixed the error on the back for the date range.
If someone doesn’t lose their job over that misprint then I don’t know what’s going on over at the WWE DVD factory. That’s a pretty big error if you ask me. I’m waiting for it to happen on a front cover next.
Firing over that is a bit much.
