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, 1988Steel Cage: Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan

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.

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!
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!
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!!
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!
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
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.
Go away, you f***ing troll!
Sad that you are pretending to matter!
Friends are hard to come by!
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.
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!
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!
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!
If these were supposedly blu ray extras, I hope that doesn’t mean the set is only 7 1/2 hours or something.
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.
It was 1996.
I don’t think enough of that stuff available for a DVD set covering the 70’s
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.
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?!? :/
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.
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.
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)!
Ok now you’re just trolling!
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.
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.
I honestly think he knows that and he’s just trying to get a reaction.
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?
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!
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.
Yeah – Warrior was so amazing in the ring. Lolz.
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”
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.
If Best of the 2000s is 4 disc why not this?
What a joke.
Want to back that up with any reasoning?
I really hope we get those extras as store exclusive 4th disc.
Store Exclusives are lame. Some fans don’t have certain stores near them or in their country.
You can always order them online. Like Best Buy for example.
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.
Worst case scenario there’s always ebay.
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.
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.
Trolling is supposed 2B fun!
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)
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.
*Digital sales and streaming services have been killing DVD and BD sales
I notice you ducked the “wrestling fans are cheap” allegation
I ducked nothing because I never said “all” wrestling fans are cheap. Reading comprehension is very important. Nice try though.
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.
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.
^^ And now they’re pretending to use my name. How this person hasn’t been blocked yet, I have no idea.
Is he the ‘Wrestling Fan’ guy from the other page about the Unreleased DVD? Biggest tool we’ve ever seen on here, by far.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was.
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!
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???
VintageSimon, you’re absolutely right. I tried to have a reasonable conversation and that was my mistake. Should’ve never fed them.
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.
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!
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 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!
Clearly this is going nowhere. Good day sir.
This blue ray vs DVD argument is getting a bit repetitive and ridiculous on this site. Jesus I wish you would all stop.
It was only a matter of time when LP1 was gonna start go on and on about this issue
Perhaps read how the discussion started before running your mouth. I didn’t bring it up.
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.
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.
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.
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)
I hope we see a volume 2 from this same time period.
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…
Bluray Exclusive matches in recent years have been pretty crap. I’d rather they don’t govthat direction!
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.
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
Exactly, this set is effectively the prequel to the Attitude Era Vol. 3 set.
Awesome I’m sure getting this can’t wait for it
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.
