ThePhenom Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm looking to buy one of the Hulk Hogan boxsets the WWE released. Can anyone recommend me which is the best one to get? Cheers It depends if you have any of his WWF PPV matches on other sets and what you are looking for. Both sets released after the name change are decent, the first includes alot of his bigger matches (1st title win against Iron Sheik, early Wrestlemania's, Starrcade against Sting, 2002 PPV returns etc) and can be found here: http://www.silvervision.co.uk/products/Hul...VD-4-Discs.html  The second is as the name suggest all previously Unreleased on official DVDs, so unless you have DVD-R's or old tapes your not going to have any doubles. I myself just watched the set and really enjoyed it. http://www.silvervision.co.uk/products/Hul...VD-3-Discs.html. I preferred the second one as I have the Tagged Classics so the first is only really for the early WWF and the WCW stuff. The second one can be found on Amazon brand new for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Paul's Bin Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks for that. I was looking to Get the 2nd set as that had much more stuff I haven't seen. The first set seemed to have all his PPV matches from 2002-2005 which I've seen and got on dvd. The Unreleased Collectors series has been in Grainger Games in Liverpool for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted January 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 How is it Demolition were in WrestleFest and Randy Savage wasn't? Might be wrong but i think Savage may of been in one version of the game for a specific console (maybe one of the SEGA ones at the time?) and even then it may of been a non-playable charecter. Â Will do a bit of research regarding the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thought it only ever came out on arcade coin-op cabinet? Â Are you thinking of the old RAW game on the 16 bit systems that had different rosters per console Boyo lad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, i was looking it up on wiki then and wrestlefest doesnt mention Savage at all! My mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) How is it Demolition were in WrestleFest and Randy Savage wasn't? I'd guess it was probably just to get a tag team in there seeing as the game only had a tag format. They already had LOD , so maybe they wanted to even it up with a heel team, and Demolition were the most recognisable and established one. I agree though, it does seem a bit of a strange inclusion as i'm sure most kids would rather just play as the Hart Foundation or the Rockers if they wanted to go as a tag team. Â Also maybe, Savage wasn't doing much around the time the roster was set for the game (sometime in those few months between SSeries 90 and Rumble 91 I'd guess), and had been mostly back in the midcard feuding with Rhodes through 1990. Â You could probably also question why the Undertaker wasn't in it (or Rick Rude, if the cut-off was actually prior to Survivor Series) Edited January 6, 2012 by Reznor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So I was watching Royal Rumble 2002 just now and Rikishi gave the Big Bossman a stinkface. Now, did Rikishi actually rub his arse into the faces of the wrestlers every time he did the stinkface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â According to reports at the time, the "Depth" of the stinkface came from how well he liked you as a friend. The arse would always "make contact" with the victim, but if he didnt like you he would pull the pants right up and really rub it in there.

Chris Brooker Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 How is it Demolition were in WrestleFest and Randy Savage wasn't?I always assumed it was because the game came out somewhere between Wrestlemania VI and Survivor Series '91 and Savage wasn't an active wrestler.

If the game's representing a post-WM VII WWF, I'd have thought it'd be the Nasty Boys in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game's representing a post-WM VII WWF, I'd have thought it'd be the Nasty Boys in.There was an old article in an issue of Retro Gamer or something along those lines that stated he was meant to be in the game when it was in development in 90 but was took out during the later stages due to his upcoming on-screen 'retirement'. Tito Santana was the unluckiest wrestler in these cases, he never made it the games despite being still hugely over till late 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Partly inspired by this forum's excellent booking contest, I've been toying with making a BTB to stave off boredom and give me something to do. I've got most of the basics laid out, but I'm booking a Cruiserweight division with a variety of talent including guys from Canada, Mexico, Japan and all around the world. However, I'm looking for a guy to have a Dean Malenko-style role, and I'm not sure who. Doug Williams was mentioned, but wondered if anyone has any ideas?Also, I'm light on Japanese talent, does anyone have any suggestions to Japanese guys mainly based in the USA or ones that would just work well?
