Those plans were however quickly ditched – but WrestlingDVDNetwork.com has received word today that a similar WWE DVD project is in fact in the works for next year!
The new WWE DVD, tentatively titled “The Top 10 Canadian Wrestling Moments” for now, will be released in conjunction with Sportsnet and HMV in May 2016. From that information we can safely assume that it will be a budget offering as per the original rumor, likely exclusive to HMV.
The following 20 matches (featuring Canadian stars wrestling in and out of Canada) are under consideration for the DVD. These will be dwindled down to 10 matches by way of a fan vote.

Get your copy of WWE’s “Best of RAW & SmackDown 2015” DVD…
– Australia: February 3rd. Pre-order your copy now from WWEDVD.com.au.
It may not sell well considering how lazy today’s wrestling fans are when it comes to watching older generation matches. Plus the footages is kinda outdated. But i’d welcome a Best of Stampede Wrestling.
I’m not trying to open up a debate as I get why Benoit matches are not included and would never expect it, but my problem is without him in it it’s just inaccurate a representation of Canadian talent. Since we can’t have two of three matches involving Benoit on here, I’d rather they just didn’t bother with the concept, as it feels so sabotaged.
i almost rather they do a best of europe dvd guys like finlay william regal finn balor BRITISH BULLDOG!!! 😀 i feel like canada one is a good idea. But with out BENNWAHHH!! its gonna feel so empty and dont respond to this if your gonna say negative bennwaa stuff OK I GET IT
Problaly gonna cost only 0.99..since it looks not much more worth it.
I really hate these low-fi, low-budget releases: here you have a excellent concept idea, that could be done so much more with…and they throw in random, incoherent stuff, that not stays true with heart to the original concept, but just screams out loud: “Let’s make some bugs out of doing close to nothing!”
Reminds me of something… hmmm.. hmmmmmm..
ooooh, I know:
Todays 9.99 Smacking’itDown in ppl’s throat “RAW” No-Direction-Home PC product.
Interesting that they’re making a DVD(even though it’s a budget release) about Canada. Considering Vince’s disdain for Canada for whatever reason. They haven’t had a PPV in Canada in nearly a decade, they rarely ever do TV tapings there, and when they do, Vince makes sure to have Cole tell us that “we’re in Bizarro World”(especially in Toronto).
Not quite what I’d expected from the Canada set. Looking at the list, it feels more like ‘random matches that just happened to take place in Canada’, rather than truly distinctive Canadian moments.
For instance, how about some matches from WrestleMania VI and X8, truly landmark events that fans actually associate with the country, and which – in the latter case, at least – highlight how great their fans are? And why not a whole stack of content from 1997, which really focused in on the Canadian element within the storylines? Even Survivor Series 1997 had a pretty memorable Canada-specific happening.
Sami Zayn vs. John Cena may have been a decent match, but it would have been the same in just about any North American city, and doesn’t have anything remotely Canadian aboot it.
Somebody else who hasn’t read the facts surrounding the case and doesn’t understand how dementia makes somebody an extremely different person to the person they were throughout the rest of their life. And presumably you are somebody who still won’t go and read the facts purely because you don’t even want your ill-informed opinion to change. Otherwise you’re a bible-thumber who just believes that even people with dementia go to hell even though they are not responsible for their mental state.
Yeah, you can believe it was dementia if you want. There’s also a jolly fat man that delivers gifts to children every year. And those bibles that I supposedly thump, are those the same ones he left at his wife’s and kid’s bedside?
There are millions of people in the world with dementia, yet they don’t go around killing their wife and kids. Also, if this was a dementia “episode” then it would’ve been 1 isolated incident. He killed his wife on a Friday, spent all day Saturday alone with his son, then killed his son Saturday night. And then he had the sense to send a text message to both Chavo and Regal letting them know that he wouldn’t be able to make the PPV the next day. And then on Sunday morning, right before killing himself, he sent another set of text messages with his home address and telling Chavo and Regal that his dogs were in the yard. Then he hung himself. That all sounds pretty premeditated to me. Also let’s ignore Nancy Benoit’s calls to the police, 1 year before the murders, because of spousal abuse. Benoit was beating her up back in ’06. It’s on record. So yeah, I don’t know a lot of people with dementia that go around doing what he did. I’m not saying he didn’t have dementia, I’m saying don’t use that as the excuse for what he did. And I was a huge Benoit fan. He was one of fhe all time greatest in ring workers. But that doesn’t give him a pass for what he did. All of the Benoit apologists try to use the dementia excuse as some sort of coping mechanism to justify everything.
Not owned at all, because if you knew anything about dementia, you would know there are all types of strains of it – it varies in how symptomatic it is. There are those cases of dementia that don’t lead to tragedies, and those that do. It’s similar to autism, there is no defined level of autism, it is a broad spectrum.
Dementia can mean you always forget you car keys, but it can also result in somebody killing a loved one without knowing it. Verne Gagne killed a fellow resident at his care home by body slamming him – not through being evil, but having dementia.
And to say the existence of dementia equates to the existence of Santa Claus if ignorant, offensive to those who suffer with dementia and just plain stupid. Dementia is a scientifically proven fact. Perhaps you’ll realise this when a loved one of yours ends up with it one day.
Verne Gagne was 80+ years old when he killed that guy. With a slam, by the way, which caused internal injuries that killed the guy. Very different than putting on a chokehold until someone stops breathing. Also, for someone who “didn’t know” he killed his wife, he sure knew well enough to text his friends to give them a heads up. He also knew enough to text them again right after he killed his son and right before he killed himself. He killed himself, by the way, by tying a the cord from his weight machine around the top of the aparatus and then wrapped it around it his neck and jumped from it. Not the signs of someone who doesn’t realize what they’re doing. Also, I’ve read up plenty on dementia and when someone has an “episode” for lack of a better term, it’s an isolated incident. Meaning you don’t go years and months without any incidents and then all of a sudden have 3 of them in the span of 2 days. But whatever you wanna believe is on you. To each their own.
No I said that your reasoning of dementia being the cause of the Benoit murders equates to the existence of Santa. Learn to read. Until then, no more Benoit ever! Now you’ve been owned twice
So I’m guessing LP1 didn’t read the news that when examined, Benoit’s brain was equivalent to that of an 83-year old alzheimer’s patient, meaning that his brain was potentially further gone than Verne Gagne’s? See, you’re giving your opinions, but no facts.
And you’ve never considered that he may have decided to kill himself once his brain came around and started to have a clear moment (which is common in dementia) and he couldn’t believe what his demented self had done? You see, I can’t imagine a pre-meditated murderer texting his friends to give them a heads-up on anything to do with a murder, least of all caring enough to at least let them know where the dogs were.
hate to say it but this dvd will suffer with out chris benoit on it. i mean most of those matches are on the new nxt dvd comming out and i think few are on the bret hart hart and soul and owen dvd.

If they’re gonna release a Canada DVD/Blu Ray why don’t they just release a best of Stampede Wrestling?

The Canadian set is a underwhelming release with a bunch of repeats, this is an easy pass
Good news, no sighting of the billionth inclusion of the Montreal Screwjob.

You spend 9.99 on Raw and Smackdown? You’re doing it way wrong brother

Except that Sami Zayn is Canadian and this match was in Montreal
You have absolutely no idea what kind of human being he was unless you were a close relative, friend or colleague of his.
Um pretty sure performing a double murder suicide on his family doesn’t make him Person of the Year. That’s all I need to know about that trash

“That’s all I need to know” = I’m lazy and can’t be bothered to find out all of the other things I should know

Hmm these sound like your opinions now. Seems to me LP has all the facts ironed out pretty clearly
You can’t to a Best of Canada without Chris Benoit. No Benoit? No buy. Simple!
hate to say it but this dvd will suffer with out chris benoit on it. i mean most of those matches are on the new nxt dvd comming out and i think few are on the bret hart hart and soul and owen dvd.
Benoit was overrated as a wrestler and a garbage of a human being. Everyone get over it already, we’ll never see him again!
Shut your mouth u piece of trash.
Never! Benoit = erased from existence!
He’s on the WWE Network, clown!
So you mean to tell me that everyone on here complaining about Benoit matches can just watch them on the Network?? Incredible!
