Brock Lesnar: Here Comes The Pain – Collector’s Edition hits stores in North American is just 2 weeks (October 30th) and today we have some exclusive pre-release photos of the DVD version. [Pre-order your copy now!]
The night after WrestleMania XXVIII, Brock Lesnar made a shocking return to the ring and levelled John Cena with an F-5, sending a message that after eight years, the pain is back! In 2002 and 2003, The Next Big Thing brought it to the biggest and baddest competition in WWE, becoming the youngest WWE Champion of all time and a household name virtually overnight. His awe-inspiring physique, amateur championship pedigree and affinity for punishing opponents made him an unstoppable force in the ring. Now, after years of dominating the MMA scene, Brock is back and looking to steamroll the biggest Superstars of today. This re-release of the 2003 DVD, Here Comes the Pain, includes the original documentary that chronicles Brock’s meteoric rise to fame, as well as six hours of additional matches not included on the original DVD! Plus, hear Brock’s controversial comments upon his return to sport entertainment! Fans can experience classic matches against Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and many more!

– Brock Lesnar: Here Comes The Pain – Collectors Edition (3-disc DVD or 2-disc Blu-ray) hits stores across the US on October 30th [pre-order your copy].

As others have pointed out, many retailers in Canada are already selling this on DVD & BD. I picked up my blu-ray copy today & will try to do a quick review by next week.
Will u be doing the review on this site?
I can’t wait to pick this one up, will be my wwe blu-ray of the year 😉
Yes. I wanted too, but also didn’t want it to get buried on the site. Regardless, invest in the blu-ray copy, as the extras really separate this set from above avg. to very good. If you have seen the documentary before, you won’t be seeing much new, if not, it’s a good – if disappointing – follow up to CM Punk’s. if your a fan of Lesner the match selection is very good-great – again, spring for the BD! Overall it needed more new footage from his return to feel less like a re-release, but it’s a good collection of career spanning matches, a good majority of which are new to DVD or haven’t seen the light of day in years. 8/10

Does anyone know if the slip over cover for this and the Blu-ray edition are just like the cover for Best of WCW Clash of the Champions? I forgot what they call that texture.
Yes it is in fact. I forget what they call that too, but the slip cover is definitely like that.
Cool…. thank you
A must buy for Ryback fans! Uh, sorry I meant Brock Lesnar fans!
Sick packaging.

It’s available up here in Canada two weeks early at HMV, and somewhat not by accident either, as HMV’s release date for it is today, not Oct. 30th:

I was wondering why I could get it 2 weeks early. Also apparently the Shawn Michaels & Rey Mysterio dvd’s aren’t coming out until the 30th.
Just picked up my copy at a local walmart, 2 weeks early!
Cool
Sweet!
