Scorpion_Deathlock Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Really, really poor in my opinion. Loads of 2-3 minute tv matches, a 6 minute tv match with Vader rather than any of the countless classics & missing loads of important matches.

Jon-Carr_92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah. Surely they could have had more PPV matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Won't all his PPV matches already be available on the Network though? I aren't subscribed to the Network so I don't know if all the Nitros and Thunders are on there but I'm assuming this is the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted July 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah, I wonder if this might be the new format for DVDs, particularly ones that aren't for current WWE stars. The three-disc sets are $25 to $30 in the US, so if you're thinking of buying even two sets that are filled up with PPV matches, it's cheaper to get the network for six months. Â Certainly prefer this approach to the lunacy of the Network running ads for the Great American Bash compilation set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Won't a lot of Sting's big matches have already been on various DVD sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2014 They've just released a Great American Bash set, as well as two Best of Nitros and a War Games DVD. Most of Sting's matches have already been given the big red carpet treatment. Since he's one of the only ex-WCW names they dont mind putting over in a "imagine if he was with the WWF" manner, they've already given him his props in a way. Also doesn't help that Sting's biggest year included a grand total of zero matches and arguable his most consistant run of having good matches was in TNA when he wasn't smacked off his tits or mad that women were getting their tits out on Raw and Nitro. Â I'm after a documentary anyway. I've seen all of Sting's matches. Much like the Warrior DVD, I wanted a doc. Not a collection of matches I've seen loads of times before.

Not a collection of matches I've seen loads of times before. Â This is exactly what I think these days. None of those 80's and 90's matches are getting any younger and, especially with the quality of in-ring action these days, they seemed to have aged even more rapidly recently. Â That Ultimate Warrior documentary was exactly what they need to be producing with these sorts of things. We've all seen those classic matches by now and if we haven't, they're more than likely available on the network. Â On a similar note to this, I have huge expectations for this upcoming Heyman release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted July 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2014 Looks decent enough, if they are trying to stay away from WCW PPV matches on the Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think either way there would be criticism. Alot of his landmark matches are on other sets. That said if you don't put them in someone will complain. I like a variation of PPV and TV rare matches. It looks an ok set but only cos I've got most of the WCW PPV compilations already (best of PPV, starrcade, GAB etc) and profiles of flair etc that have his matches included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The Sting/Muta v The Steiners is a good addition which I'm certain hasn't been released before by WWE, I have on a Muta compilation but that's all. As has been said, Sting's top PPV matches have been covered on other releases, sometimes more than once, but as I'm not overly familiar with his stuff prior to going to WCW I'm looking forward to seeing to seeing The Blade Runners stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm not overly surprised by this. I guess we have to remember that a lot of the WWE audience isn't overly familiar with Sting and his previous work - they're obviously sticking to very short matches to win them over, without them sitting through long matches and switching off (remember newer fans like their stuff sharp and shor twith plenty of spots), probably before releasing the 'Definitive Collection' as like Flair, Hogan etc. I can't see WWE limiting a Sting release to just one volume. On top of that it's as exactly what everyone has been saying on here - the PPV's are available on the Network and some of the other stuff has already been released on other sets. Personally I'm happy with this set - lots of TV stuff I've not seen before or would be abler to track down and like I say I can't see this being the only DVD they put out. Once Sting arrives properly, combined with the HOF induction he's bound to get, he's going to be all over WWE like a rash. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
