Who’s Hosting WWE’s MSG DVD Release? Who’s Interviewed for Mid-South?

The next WWE DVD and Blu-ray release on the schedule this month is The Best of WWE at Madison Square Garden, which hits stores in just over one week’s time.

We can reveal that hosting the MSG DVD is former WWE employee Matt Striker. His segments, filmed inside The Garden, are shown at the beginning of each disc and at the end of the presentation. Of course, the production of the set was completed prior to Striker’s release in June.

The September 2013 edition of WWE Magazine is promoting the MSG DVD with the tagline “Where it all began”. Thanks to Cesar Albino for the photo shown below.

Panic over regarding the Money in the Bank 2013 Blu-ray. We’ve heard that initial orders for it here at BestBuy.com have now shipped and that copies of the Blu-ray are now being found in store too. It remains unclear why Walmart stocked it online upon release.

Problems aside, this is officially a Best Buy exclusive and will be until November 12th when it gets a wider release. Amid the recent confusion several copies of the Blu-ray sold for upward of $30 and $40 each. You can view those auctions here on eBay.com.
