KURT ANGLE DVD! HELL YEAH!
A Piper DVD would rule, but isn't likely given that he and Vince McMahon are not exactly on good terms.That hardly matters since Vince is the one who controls all the archives from NWA, WWF and WCW. Piper's participation would be nice, but not necessary. It would be amazing to see all his great Piper's pits. Piper always had the best out of ring promos. I guess it depends on how well the other sets sell. Eventually WWE will go down the line of their great wrestlers.

Actually, it does matter quite a bit. Vince McMahon doesn't much care for Roddy Piper, who has accused Vince of several things over the years, tried to get wrestlers to unionize and so on and so forth. Now, if your Vince McMahon, and you don't like a wrestler like Roddy Piper who nolonger works for you, how eager are you going to be to put together a DVD that honors his career?
Now you might say that Vince would do it if he thought he could make money off of it, and if you believe this you obviously don't know how this man's mind works. You're talking about a guy who let his hatred for the WCW name and all that it stood for keep him from making a ton of money off an invasion angle that every fan in North America always dreamed of seeing. Vince McMahon will absolutely put his hatred for someone before his willingness to make a dollar.
Plus, Hogan and to a lesser extent Hart have both been contacted about roles at WrestleMania, Hart last year, Hogan this year. So, they could end up on the active Roster, in which case Vince would love DVDs, because they're actually promoting someone that works for him. Which is why unless they sign with WWE, you can pretty well be assured that Sting and Ricky Steamboat for instance aren't getting DVD compilations.
BTW, whether or not the discs have gone out of print plenty of places online still have them available. Amazon shows all 4 shipping with 1 or 2 business days as an example.
I have the Hulk Rules DVD and I love it. The documentary was very well done and covered his whole career, all the way through the end of the NWO. Plus all the classic matches are great!Hulk Still Rules is my favorite wrestling DVD. I love it. It gives me chills everytime I see it. A good compliment to Hulk Still Rules is "Back In Black", which is very Hogan heavy. If you haven't seen it, it's well worth picking up.
If I have any complaint about either DVD, it's that they gloss over many crucial storylines in the WCW. The give you the setup to the NWO, and eventually the end...but leave out the middle.
Hulk Still Rules, while great...still leaves a lot of things out, which is why we need a "Ulitmate Hulk Hogan Collection".
