VERDICT: Were 13 EXTRA MATCHES Just Added to WWE ‘Unreleased 1986-1995’ DVD Content Listing?

June 19, 2017 by Daniel Bee

WWE 'Unreleased 1986-1995' DVD - 13 Extra Matches Added?

Late last week we received and posted the full list of content WWE has in the works for the “UNRELEASED 1986-1995” DVD which we now know will be filled with 45 exclusive hidden gems!

As the news spread online our listing was spotted on a few websites with several “extra” matches added on top, taking the total to 58 matches, possibly originating at PWInsider.com.
 

Bonus Matches

Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Andre the Giant & Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
Hershey, PA • January 26, 1988

Steel Cage: Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan
Wheeling, WV • October 2, 1989

Rick Rude vs. The Ultimate Warrior
Toledo, Ohio • June 10, 1990

Papa Shango vs. The Ultimate Warrior
Ottawa, Ontario • June 1, 1992

Kamala & Papa Shango vs. Undertaker & Ultimate Warrior
Worcester, MA • July 20, 1992

Kamala vs. The Ultimate Warrior
Landover, MD • September 1, 1992

Ultimate Warrior vs. Papa Shango
Terra Haute, IN • October 27, 1992

The Mad Monk (Mike Shaw aka Friar Ferguson/Bastion Booger) vs. Bobby Young
Phoenix, AZ • April 5, 1993

The Harris Twins vs. Dale Wolfe & Tim Patterson
Phoenix, AZ • April 5, 1993

Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect
Phoenix, AZ • April 5, 1993

Portland, ME • May 5, 1993

Shawn Michaels vs. Jerry Lawler
Wheeling, WV • June 6, 1995

Phantasio vs. Rad Radford
St. Louis, MO • July 26, 1995

 

WrestlingDVDNetwork.com can unfortunately and categorically confirm that those extras are NOT present in the final listing of the 3-disc DVD set. For one, the disc space would already be nearing capacity with the 45 existing matches before attempting to squeeze in another 13 bouts.

The question is, could these matches be legit and end up released in an upcoming store exclusive? To that WWE Home Video UK say no as of today.

However, given PWInsider’s accuracy on a few scoops relating to this DVD release in recent weeks on their radio shows one could argue it is a possibility that the 13 unknowns could have been additional bouts under consideration (but didn’t quite end up making the cut), or may even have been penciled in for Blu-ray extras if such a version was planned earlier on in the project.

After all, the matches in question would all fit the bill for an Unreleased-themed compilation.

Please only consider this the confirmed listing — we’ll let you know if the bonuses ever surface.

  4. Girlfight says:

    Hello???
    I’m a wrestling fan???
    Also, I’m a troll because wrestling fans are supposed to hate themselves & want to die!

    Hardcore Ultimate Warrior fan!
    But you trolls can just keep calling me a troll.
    Once again, I love wrestling but as usual I’m somehow a troll.
    I love wrestling, but not that you’d care!

  5. Girlfight says:

    I Fu*king love wrestling!
    & you know what, you idiots will still call me a troll!
    I love wrestling!
    I Love wrestling!

    Wrestling is fuc*ing cool as hell!

    No matter what I say, you idiots will still call me a troll!

  6. Girlfight says:

    You losers are absurd, trolling a obvious wrestling fan just because of Ultimate Warrior. Papa Shango, Undertaker, Kamala,
    Bret Hart, Sign me the F up.

    This is real wrestling, none of that pansy $h!!

    • RabidHeat says:

      You’re blatantly the same person as the Warrior fan below. Sad that you’re pretending to be someone else, to support yourself. Get some friends!

      • Girlfight says:

        Funny but don’t lump me in with those other niggaz. I’m simply just a fan of Ultimate Warrior. Only trolls can’t adjust. Despite what you trolls are trying to “accomplish” wrestling is fu*king cool.

        So your blatant hatred of wrestling fans is very off putting

      • Girlfight says:

        You so called wrestling fans are f***ing terrible. Ignorance is bliss apparently. Stop trolling real wrestling fans, you trolls are the reason barely anybody takes wrestling seriously.

        I’m another hardcore fan of wrestling but I’m pretty sure you trolls will call me a troll cause I’m a fan of good wrestling.
        So according to you trolls, people who repeatedly talk about how they love wrestling, somehow magically become trolls.

      • Girlfight says:

        Go away, you f***ing troll!
        Sad that you are pretending to matter!
        Friends are hard to come by!

      • Girlfight says:

        Shut up! Being a fan of wrestling is a sin here, loving wrestling is what makes you a troll!

        Be honest, you hate wrestling and only support it because that’s the only thing you’ve done ever since the day you were born?

        All so called wrestling fans are trolls.
        Only trolls love wrestling.

      • Girlfight says:

        I love wrestling!
        Rabid troll…where are you???
        Does me being a honest fan of wresting hurt your agenda???

        Again, I love wrestling…
        Please stop trolling me.
        Sorry to burst your bubble but wresting is f***ing cool!

      • Girlfight says:

        So…???
        You are 100% against people loving wrestling???
        Wrestling is fuc*ing cool!
        I love wrestling!

        Oh & by the way..apparently I’m a troll!
        I love wrestling (always have & always will)!

        So in your ridiculous words, I’m just another idiot that loves wrestling, but you somehow act like I hate wrestling.

        I’m very confused & by your logic??? Although, wrestling rocks!
        I love wrestling!
        Please call me a troll because I love wrestling!

  7. Daniel Wissert says:

    I said there were loads of matches they never put on DVD of Ultimate Warrior, and they tried saying they didn’t exist. Proved my point.
    I will Always Believe in Ultimate Warrior!
    As for the NaySayers, Go piss up a f’n rope! oWn Forever!

  8. Timothy Thorpe says:

    If these were supposedly blu ray extras, I hope that doesn’t mean the set is only 7 1/2 hours or something.

  9. Roland Smitts says:

    Had a feeling these weren’t legit. You’d see stuff like The Rock’s ’95 tryout (as Dwayne Johnson) if it was, IMO.

    I’d love to see a followup covering ’72-85.

  10. H.M. Nilsson says:

    LOL. WWE Home Video should have released it on Blu-ray which could have included those matches as Blu-ray exclusives. Nice going WWE Home Video.

  11. Brad Attitude says:

    Besides the first 3 matches and Shawn Michaels vs Mr Perfect matches, everything else is pretty crap. Who wants to see Warrior vs Papa Shango more than once?!? :/

    • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

      Tons of people are dying to see Ultimate Warrior VS Papa Shango matches. What the hell is wrong w/you. You must hate wrestling & think John Cena is just “so cool” I’d rather see those matches over S.Michaels vs MR. Perfect easily.

      • Brad Attitude says:

        So you wanna watch two guys who had no chemistry in their matches have crappy matches? yeah alright, goes to show how much u know when it comes to good wrestlers.

        Take a hike, bozo.

        • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

          Did you seriously just say that???, what’s wrong w/liking good wrestling???
          Ultimate Warrior & Papa Shango had great chemistry & a brilliant feud (sorry I wasn’t a fan of his cheesy godfather gimmick)!

          • Brad Attitude says:

            Ok now you’re just trolling!

            • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

              OK, so simply because I don’t think exactly like you…makes me a troll???
              That’s straight up troll logic.
              Since when is defending good wrestling a bad thing???
              I love wrestling, you make no sense.

              • Muhammad Belal says:

                Sounds to me you like good wrestling personas more than good wrestling matches because Warrior vs Kamala, Warrior vs Papa Shango don’t quite scream good matches to me when I think of them.

                • RabidHeat says:

                  I honestly think he knows that and he’s just trying to get a reaction.

                  • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

                    I’m not trying to get a reaction, frankly it’s ridiculous that somebody can’t be a fan of Ultimate Warrior without getting a negative reaction. Ultimate Warrior is an extremely popular wrestler. What’s so hard to fathom?

                    • Tom Stevens says:

                      Wait, first you said you like good wrestling and now you’re saying one is a popular wrestler. So which one is it because the OP originally said Warrior vs Kamala & Papa Shango aren’t good matches people wanna see but you’re saying something else completely different.

                      I think you’re trolling, man!

                    • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

                      You guys are the ones trolling. I am a fan of Ultimate Warrior, ever since I was a kid. I love wrestling & Ultimate Warrior is popular. So again why do you guys act like it’s impossible that somebody would honestly be a fan. Also why are you so mystified that Ultimate Warrior has fans & that not everybody has the same opinion as you.

                    • RabidHeat says:

                      Yeah – Warrior was so amazing in the ring. Lolz.

                    • Girlfight says:

                      God damn right, he kicked ass! Finally somebody here understands what real wrestling is. I’m so sick of theses losers that pretend that tools like Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are “cool”

                    • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

                      If I was trolling, wouldn’t I be going on & on about how wrestling is “fake” or something dumb like that. No I have not at all, I’ve repeatedly said tons about how I love wrestling & am very excited about the upcoming release. That is 100% not what a troll does. I’m buying this as soon as the store opens that day.

  12. yeahitsme says:

    If Best of the 2000s is 4 disc why not this?

  13. Donald says:

    What a joke.

  14. yeahitsme says:

    I really hope we get those extras as store exclusive 4th disc.

    • indyfan says:

      Store Exclusives are lame. Some fans don’t have certain stores near them or in their country.

      • LP1 says:

        You can always order them online. Like Best Buy for example.

        • Indyfan says:

          I’m not 100% sure Best Buy Canada and Best Buy US are one in the same as far as these exclusives go. It would suck to assume that it is and then find out its not.

          They used to do FYE ( I thinks it called that) store exclusives and they don’t even ship to Canada. So..out of luck. It’s best to not even do store exclusives. It screws fans over.

  15. roy says:

    and that’s why I like Pre-hd wwe sets to also be on bluray. I understand that all these matches are in sd but look at how us bluray fans could have had 13 more matches. Im not sure if the people that don’t get that are just trolls or are seriously mentally slow.

    • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

      As always, the extreme minority (I.E. Blu Ray lovas) are quick to be extremely insulting to every wrestling fan around them. Very classy!
      🙂

      [you blu ray freaks are the worst kind of disrespectful wrestling fans]

      Thank god , I never fell for the dubious/inferior blu ray trap!

      Blu Ray blows!
      The WWE knows it & is pretty much telling you all so, what more proof do you need???

      Blu ray never caught on & never will, get over it…
      Blu ray is the modern day Laserdisc…just pathetic & never had a chance in the first place.

      • LP1 says:

        Trolling is supposed 2B fun!

        • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

          I’m only stating the obvious!
          You blu ray freaks think so highly of yourselves that is embarrassing.
          You know damn well that the blu ray freaks here are extremely quick to throw shade at any “normal American wrestling fan” who never got bamboozled by blu ray marketing.

          Your response alone proves my point. Blu ray freaks refuse to accept that it was a dying “artform” from the get go.

          ALSO: Blu ray freaks are the minority…
          Minority = Trolls
          If blu ray was so beloved like the minority here want us to believe, than DVD would have been overpowered years ago…
          BUT guess what…it hasn’t happened & never will…
          So keep trolling pathetic loser…

          Enjoy your weak ass blu rays If the WWE ever decides to bother releasing anymore that is???!

          I hate when trolls pretend to be legitimate wrestling fans (another sign you are dealing w/a blu ray freak)

          • LP1 says:

            All physical media is a “dying artform”. Digital sales and streaming services algave been killing DVD and BD sales the last few years. Believing that BD will go away and DVD will survive is just burying your head in the aand and ignoring the inevitable. Furthermore, BD sales are better than DVD sales when it comes to mainstream movies. Wrestling is one of the only genres where DVDs outsell BDs. I’ve mentioned this before and you can get mad all you want, but it’s true, wrestling fans are known for being notoriously cheap. This is why big time advertising sponsors shy away from wrestling. So it’s not surprising that wrestling DVDs outsell BDs. But to say that BDs suck and never caught on and DVDs are better are all factually incorrect statements.

            • LP1 says:

              *Digital sales and streaming services have been killing DVD and BD sales

              • Lying Pansy 1 says:

                I notice you ducked the “wrestling fans are cheap” allegation

                • LP1 says:

                  I ducked nothing because I never said “all” wrestling fans are cheap. Reading comprehension is very important. Nice try though.

                  • VintageSimons says:

                    LP1 – I don’t understand why you (correctly) identify the guy as a troll and then fall for his schtick hook, line and sinker. At a certain point, you have to wonder who’s to blame for 12 hours of these nonsenical arguments.

                    • LP1[Fake] says:

                      You’re right everyone. I’m a liar and a fraud. I apologize to anyone I’ve offended on this site. I hate blu-rays and you are all indeed, cheap.

                    • LP1 says:

                      ^^ And now they’re pretending to use my name. How this person hasn’t been blocked yet, I have no idea.

                    • RabidHeat says:

                      Is he the ‘Wrestling Fan’ guy from the other page about the Unreleased DVD? Biggest tool we’ve ever seen on here, by far.

                    • LP1 says:

                      Wouldn’t surprise me if it was.

                    • Girlfight says:

                      That dude is coo as hell. We need more wrestling fans around here. Tools are so massive here, it’s ridculous! Hearing people speak the truth is extremely refreshing Most of the regular posters here are hardcore straight up buzz killers!

                    • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

                      The only troll here is LP1 who hates beneath him wrestling fans that are “notoriously cheap” the trolls words not mine.

                      Just because I’m not some loser who constantly complains about crappy blu rays all the time doesn’t make me a troll. you select few are so full of it. WWE itself pretty much wants nothing to do w/blu ray but you guys fail to comprehend that. The WWE is doing that, blu ray is unwanted by the majority, end of story, I had nothing to do w/that.

                      Sorry, my honesty hit a nerve w/you but you know I am right, you can’t erase what you said about “notoriously cheap” wrasslin fans, you think you are better than the rest.

                      LP1 thinks you all are losers if you don’t love blu ray for some reason???

                    • LP1 says:

                      VintageSimon, you’re absolutely right. I tried to have a reasonable conversation and that was my mistake. Should’ve never fed them.

                • LP1 says:

                  If I’m guilty of anything it’s of losing track of how many times you’ve changed your screen name. Perhaps Daniel Bee or another person from the site can cross check that.

            • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

              Seriously though, blu rays never did catch on, they’ve been around like 10 years…
              Yet & still WWE keeps canceling/never even bothering to release them.

              I’m not making anything up that’s a straight up fact!

              But what is very offensive is how you blatantly call all wrestling fans “notoriously cheap”.
              Another go to move by blu ray freaks who think so little of “other” (the majority”) of wrestling fans.
              I (along w/most of my friends make great money & we all refuse to buy inferior blu ray garbage).
              They even offer more extras but yet nobody I know, who could easily afford it wants anything to do w/it.

              Sorry to burst your bubble but blu ray is clearly not cutting it.
              That’s not just my “dumbass” opinion but is clearly evident by the sales/failure of every single WWE released blu ray!
              That’s why WWE is now rarely releasing blu rays, they do not sell well, at all…just pure & simple facts!

              • LP1 says:

                At what point did I say “all wrestling fans are cheap”? Did you even read what I wrote? Read it again. Specifically the part about how wrestling DVDs outsell BDs, but most other genres are the opposite. Re-read it.

                • Wrestling Is Supposed 2B Fun! says:

                  “Wrestling fans are known for being notoriously cheap” Word for word, that’s exactly what you said!

                  Don’t be hatin, you clearly think you are better than the average “dumbass” wrassiln fan. You are better than me as a human being because you think blu rays are cool. I get it dude stop shoving it down my throat!

                  • LP1 says:

                    Clearly this is going nowhere. Good day sir.

                    • brandon vendetta says:

                      This blue ray vs DVD argument is getting a bit repetitive and ridiculous on this site. Jesus I wish you would all stop.

                  • Sven says:

                    It was only a matter of time when LP1 was gonna start go on and on about this issue

                    • LP1 says:

                      Perhaps read how the discussion started before running your mouth. I didn’t bring it up.

                    • Sven says:

                      Dude, it was only a matter of time before u got involved and went on and on and on about it.

                      That’s all u ever do around here.

      • foley is good says:

        Bluray won’t die because it is used for video game consoles because of its superior storage capacity. Not sure why people are against better picture quality.

    • yeahitsme says:

      I got into blu-ray for the exclusives not the picture quality. It’s sad to see them stop using it for everything just as we start getting deeper into the archives.

    • whutwhut says:

      but that’s not how it has worked in practice in regards to the WWE releases.

      e.g. the upcoming Kurt Angle dvd is said to be 9 hours long. if it was both on dvd and bluray you could be almost certain that the dvd version would be cut short (despite there being enough room) and some of the matches instead being bluray exclusives.

      (at least that’s how it had been done lots of time in the past)

  16. Cracker_Jack says:

    I hope we see a volume 2 from this same time period.

  17. John says:

    They could have made a Blu-ray set and add those matches as a exclusive or add a 4th DVD to put those matches on it…

    • George Sullivan says:

      Bluray Exclusive matches in recent years have been pretty crap. I’d rather they don’t govthat direction!

  18. SRB says:

    Very interesting that we end on 1995 specifically. I’m hoping if this sells well and has a good reception, WWE will continue with the series and begin with 1996 and move forward. However, 1996 goes into the beginnings of the Attitude Era, making me believe maybe there will not be another one of these unreleased sets as several Attitude Era sets have already been released.

    • Indyfan says:

      They already have unreleased Attitude Era set and it actually starts in 1996. What they need to do is release a best of Coliseum home video set

  19. Ricardo Aguilera says:

    Awesome I’m sure getting this can’t wait for it

  20. David says:

    I think it makes sense those extra matches were likely to be included in the Blu-ray edition as “exclusives” before WWE made the bone headed decision moving to DVD only for match compilations.
