WWE announces 2006 DVDs

WWE has announced its slate of DVDs for 2006.

Here is the complete list:
- Austin vs. McMahon: The Definitive Collection
- Brian Pillman: Loose Cannon
- Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology
- Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story
- The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA
- John Cena: The Time is Now

WWE will be releasing a two disc Dusty Rhodes set. The set is entitled, "The American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story." A Dusty Rhodes DVD set had been rumored to come out ever since he signed on with WWE last year. Also, WWE plans to release a DVD entitled, "The World's Greatest Wrestling Managers." That DVD may be a re-release of one of the manager videos the WWF released back in the eighties.

A Cena dvd thats all the world needs.

Fozzy

Lookin forward to the Pillman dvd most, although it will more than likely end up focusing on him being out of control..hope it doesn't make him sound real bad, he was a great wrestler

The AWA one should have some decent stuff on it, Piper's one could be interesting. And Dusty Rhode's obviously

A Pillman DVD, **** yeah!! That guy was my idol. Had the best promo ever at Cyberslam 96 where he was one of the few guys to make the ECW crowd shut up. Hopefully they cover all his career and put his Liger matches on there and his Hollywood Blonde days with Austin along with a mix of his famous angles like the "booker man" angle, the Bang 3:16 angle and that time he touched the off limits Bobby Heenan and made him swear on air. Hopefully they cover the Hart Foundation as well cause that feud with Austin is probably my most favourite feud of all time and my favourite wrestling time period with an emerging D-X as well when they were good.

I'll have to mark out and buy the Hogan one. While he wasn't the greatest wrestler of all time, he got pops that the main eventers of today only dream about.

There was actually a DVD of Cena already, wasn't there? It was back in 2004 I think it was. Just thought I'd throw that out there for people who are reacting like it hasn't happened before. Lol.

I could swear that Hogan has also had a copmplete collection on DVD before too. Hulk Still Rules or something like that? If so all that's going to be new this year is his recent WWE stuff, which isn't enough to make me buy a DVD set which contains material I've seen over and over again.

The Pillman one looks promising though.

There was also already a McMahon v. Austin video. I think it was released around 2000? It wasn't that long, only about 60 mins, so it certainly wasn't a definitive collection. Nonetheless I thought i'd point out WWE have already done the topic to a certain extent.

True, but Mc Mahon V Austin has been done to death. It's been covered on Austin's DVD releases too. I can't see why anyone would want to buy a DVD on it at this point.

My dream dvd would be a 5 disc dvd based on factions/cliques. There would be a dedicated disc for the 4 hoursemen, the hart foundation, DX, nWo, and the fifth disc would be a compilation of other staples e.g the nation, the ministry, the corporation. The one thing that I feel the WWE still excels at today is their video production.

The Bang 3:16 angle was when Austin made Vince p*ss himself by threatening him with a fake gun, nothing to do with Pillman.
Although I know the angle you mean, when Austin went to Pillman's house and Pillman defended himself with a gun. One of the first real adult themed angles, that have of course gone into ridiculous overdrive since, with refs committing suicide and dead legend's names being dragged through the mud.

Piper's should be very entertaining, he was a legend.
Raising hell before Austin had even entered a ring, and some of the Pits were hilarious.

The Cannibal

I refer to it as Bang 3:16 cause if I remember right Pillman started wearing some t-shirts after saying that, he also had a really cool one that I'd love to get my hands on if it ever came on e-bay that had Pillman 9mm on the front. I think the 9mm probably would of been a better description since the feud was billed as Austin 3:16 Vs Pillman 9mm. You just don't get feud tag lines like that anymore.
