Overall, i'm very excited for this set even though it's Hogan. The only thing missing is a one on one match against Million Dollar Man, still a must own set for fans of Hogan and classic wrestling.

Great List !!!
Wow, great list of matches, glad to see that WWE did a really great job on this one. Glad to see matches against Haku, the Bossman, Earthkaque, Kurt Angle, Bret, Rick Rude, Backlund....Can't wait to buy this dvd. I saw the cover on silvervision.co.uk and it's a great one too. I hope WWE will make the same kind of dvd for Flair, Hbk and Undertaker, 3 disc set with a lot of rare matches and promos...Watcha gonna do !!??

Finally a DVD Set That Isn't a "Best Of Pay Per View" Matches!
I have all of the Hogan VHS tapes that were put out by Coliseum Video through the 80s and 90s as well as the more recent series of DVD collections and this set was a breath of fresh air! I have traded and collected house shows for years as a teen and seeing many of these matches again in such clarity was like taking a trip back in time. I liked the mix of early house shows and TV matches. Even thought they're usually really bad, you have to show a few of the Saturday morning "squash" matches to really relive the early days of these legends and this collection delivers! Prior DVD sets gave us a few tidbits to tease us, but then filled the rest of the collection with televised and Pay Per View matches that have been released countless times before. If I see the "Hogan vs. Sheik" match from January 23, 1984 on another DVD set I'll drive to Stamford and punch Vince McMahon in the throat myself!

Needless to say, you can't please everyone all the time, but the inclusion of the MSG bout vs. Andre with Monsoon as guest referee was fantastic, the handicap match against Bockwinkel and Heenan was great to see after all these years and the string of bouts from the 80s with One Man Gang, Kamala, Randy Savage from Detroit, teaming with JYD vs. Studd and Bundy, Rick Rude and the hilarious promo with Mr. T in the grocery store...all excellent stuff!! I'm not a fan of Mr. T, but that was the era that Rock 'n Wrestling took over the world and it's great to see some of those ridiculous vignettes where they can barely contain their laughter and which haven't been seen since 1985.

I could have done without so many of the early WCW matches. In my opinion, those were the worst, but at least we didn't have Hogan vs. Flair at Bash at the Beach again!! The later matches weren't too bad and the extra interviews and promos were a great touch as well.

All in all, this was a great collection of matches from the guy who brought wrestling into the mainstream and for $20, it's was a steal!
