Not great for old dvds aroun €22 its alright if theres no delivery charge. But silvervision is good for WWE dvds and free delivery.

justbringit89 · 05-07-2007 4:27pm

why not download them??

Yellow Snow · 05-07-2007 4:34pm

Thinking of getting this...

Silvervision have it for £21.99 with free postage

HMV is cheaper but how much do they charge for postage to Ire? Any idea?

Cactus Col · 05-07-2007 4:34pm

Because divx's usually are encoded poorly to save space and some of us like watching DVDs on a nice big screen, rather than hunched in front of a PC watching the matches

It's £4 delivery for the Bret dvd, so it would be cheaper from HMV than Silvervision at the moment

Thanks for that Fozzy. Will go order it now!!

Bret Hart DVD is good got it for free for ordering off wweshop, the documentary bit is great but the matches are kinda of lacking, not one match with Shawn but part of the deal was he was allowed choose the matches he wanted on it, so there you go.

Really? What was the Rockers vs Hart Foundation from SNME in April 90 then? Scotch mist or English fog?

Seriously, that was basically the beginning of the parallel singles push of both guys as they had planned to split both teams by the end of that year, it never happened though until the year after.

Yes i'd really be refering to a rockers match, I'm obviously talking about matches like the Iron Man match, but it does take a smartass to prove me so drastically wrong.

Now why in the hell would they waste an hour of DVD time on that when they had way better matches. The point i was trying to make really was that he obviously didn't hate Shawn enough to completely exclude him.

As for being proven wrong, i'll reserve comment, i believe the powers that be are watching me

(heres a hint tho: Fozzy proved you wrong earlier with the silvervision v hmv prices, does that make him a smartass too?)

He didn't completely exclude him because people would know why he completely excluded him. You can't have A Bret Hart DVD without Shawn Michaels and vice versa. Alot of the extra matches are poor choices to be honest.

I wouldn't go far, but you're entitled to your opinion. If that was down to you to pick the matches, what would you put on it. Bearing in mind that you'd have to pick from around 82-99 and you only had 2 dvds to put it on?

I didn't say all the stuff was cheaper did I?, And Fozzy isn't a nororious smartass either.

Incidently Silvervision is listing it at €32, not €22 as you state for "old DVD's" and the Bret one has been out just over a year so one assumes it's in that category.

As for the Bret matches, how can you say his matches with Ricky Steamboat, Ted DiBiase, both PPV matches with Hennig and both PPV matches with Davey Boy, as well as a Harts v Bulldogs and Harts v Rockers match were "poor picks"?

The only poor pick on that DVD was the Austin one in my opinion, their Survivor Series 96 match was way better in my opinion, although the Wrestlemania one was more historic, but only for the ending.

I was refering more the the likes of the Ric Flair DVD which is a few years old.

€34 actually, you'd be saving €6 with HMV

I don't think there's much point in arguing about which matches are on the dvd, as Bret did pick them himself. I've never actually gotten round to watching it...if only I had €28...

It's not an argument it's a discussion. I was gonna mention it was €34 but I said I wouldn't bother haha.

Already available on the cage match DVD, and i thought the Action Zone match was way better, no gimmicks involved!

EdK wrote:

I think they were saving this for the Piper one, you'll notice the Piper one theres interview bits from 03 as well as 06. I think they had planned to do that earlier and scrapped it cos of his HBO blasting of Vince

EdK wrote:

Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart November 25, 1992

That really wasn't THAT good of a match i don't think. They'd have better ones after that. Shawn wasn't really up to main event level at that point, and Bret knew it.

EdK wrote:

Ric Flair vs. Bret Hart October 12, 1992

Again, not one you'd stick as a chronicle piece. It was focused on the documentary, but the match itself was pretty bland, you'll find it on the Smack em Whack em Coliseum tape.

The FAKE Razor? Be serious please!

Seen this, it's on one of the best of WWF Coliseum tapes, it's good without being great and doesn't really stand out for a comp that's meant to chronicle his career.

Horses for courses i guess. But i personally think the ONO match was better, cos i'm not a big fan of screwy endings anyway.

EdK wrote:

Undertaker, DiBiase, Honky Tonk & Valentine vs. Dusty, Koko & Hart Foundation November 22, 1990

The ending sequence is almost done move for move on that match against DiBiase anyway!

EdK wrote:

Well again, your opinion is yours, but i noticed you left the first ten years or so of his career out and focused on the 90s. You blanked his WCW career completely too. The DVD was to chronicle his career, not just his glory years.

He was under used in WCW and they didn't know what to do with him. To be honest I havn't seen much Bret from WCW.

I know the matches aren't all classics but they all show different aspects and different parts of his career and the story element with the fake Razor match, Hall jumping to WCW was the start of the defections. I might also include his ladder match from Stampede wrestling in full.

The one against Bad News Allen? That was pretty decent alright.
That fake Razor match wasn't bad for what it was worth to be honest, Rick Bogner wasn't a bad worker.

But Bret did have some good matches in WCW too, his match against Benoit at Mayhem 99 was also pretty good as it was held in Toronto and the crowd went batsh*t for it. He had some good matches with Goldberg too, shame about the last one he had that Goldberg kicked him so hard that it put him out for life.

Bret carried Goldberg to be fair but star vs star it was good.

Surprised the Canadian Stampede match wasn't included to be honest!
Bret v Razor at that Rumble, i remember hearing a rumour about it being Bret v a heel turned Warrior originally but he got turfed out before it had a chance to surface.

Good debate man,
