Not unless you got it on a previously released DVD. Or in my case, VHS.

I don't. The only pre-2007 WWE release I own is "Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker", and there's no Benoit matches on that. (Did they ever work together?) I'd like to think that there may be a change with regard to Benoit, since he appears in two clips in the Best of Nitro set, though not in any wrestling capacity, but I doubt it'll ever happen. Maybe I can find some used DVD's at a shop or something...

I know he's not excluded from the Royal Rumble set that was released in 2007. It came out right around the time he did what he did, but everything of him is still included, probably because it was printed and distributed before it happened.

Also, since The Streak is being released on DVD, does that mean it's over? It would be stupid to have this set and then he has another match at WMXXIX. Unless it's a loss.

It's pretty obvious that Taker's done as a full time wrestler, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a retirement announcement by the end of the year.

No, I think if he's gonna retire it will be at WrestleMania. He won't just fade away, unless they're keeping some serious injury a secret, and based on his performance at WMXXVIII, it doesn't seem so. He will get his retirement match on the "grandest stage." Anything else would be less than fitting. That's why I think he will end the Streak with a loss to someone. I just hope they won't blow it and give the opportunity to someone who can take it a long way. NOT Cena, or Daniel Bryan. Maybe Orton? Or Sheamus? Or even Punk?

As for RAW, the Laurinaitis angle has become ridiculous. I am the same way as CB, I won't watch anymore unless this guy is off TV. He's not even fun to hate. He's like Cole was last year. And what the hell is the WWE thinking anymore with Cena? Losing to Rock? Good. Then Lesnar comes in and becomes probably the WWE's biggest drawing card instantaneously, and what happens? He gets buried by Cena, only to have Cena lose to this failed wrestler turned suit? Seriously? I really hope fans leave in droves and hurt Vince in his wallet. That's the only thing that will snap them out of this crap and force them to put on quality stuff. And they're saying Raw will be 3 hours long starting with the 1000th show? What are they gonna fill 3 hours with? They can't even fill 2 with good stuff. At least Orton is somewhat back in the title picture. I like Punk and Sheamus, but Orton has to be a champion. He's the future of this company, not Cena or Punk.

That's a little harsh, don't you think? I mean, I was never a big fan of Cole's hell turn last year, and I agree that Laurinaitis isn't even fun to hate, but all comparing Laurinaitis' current thing with that does is make Cole's heel turn look like the best idea since sliced cheese.

Though I will admit that I agree with what Cena said: bring back the computer already. Even on its worst day, it's still ten times more exciting that what they're doing now.

Man, I miss this...

I watched Raw on YouTube just to see what Vince would do and because I had 2 hours to waste. It was awesome to see Vader back, even if his timing was a bit off and if it was just for one night. He didn't seem to be any smaller, even though it looked like he was less muscular and more flabby. And am I the only one who's bothered that he's not wearing his red-on-black outfit he had in the 90s?

I caught Raw this week, too. It's says a lot about the state of the roster when a nostalgia star can get a bigger pop than anyone else.

Sadly, I don't think Vince learned his lesson from the Over the Limit disaster. By saying that Show has to win or else Laurinaitis will get fired, he has, once again, given away the ending of the match @ the PPV. Because, as much as we might like it, Laurinaitis will NOT get fired. And by saying that Cena will get fired if Show wins, it means that there's going to be some kind of screwjob in the finish, since Cena isn't going to get fired either.

I watched some of this past weeks show and hated how they kept teasing with vince saying "you're fired".. Of course they would not do it on TV, they have to build up for the one of a billion PPV's per year.

I remember the good old days when there was 4 PPVs a year... Saturday nights main event and champions that held the belts for a couple years at a time.. Such fun times with wrestling back then..

I sure hope this laurenitus angle is over soon.. I can't stand to look at him or hear his voice..

[Cyber Bishop]

I hope they stick to him being "fired" now and get the wwe back to business.. I guess we will see what happens this evening.

I've learned too much lately that no one would do anything great without later doing something incredibly moronic. I'm not holding my breath.

As much as I didn't like him, and as much as I'm happy to see him gone, having Cena beat him down was pointless. That time could have been better spent showcasing someone that wasn't Cena.

Oh and it seems to go against their whole "B.A. Star" anti-bullying campaign ... but that's a whole different discussion.

I think Heyman's strut/stomp is even better than Vince's swagger.

And that segment with Slater, Lauper, Richter and Piper was horrible. If only Richter didn't dress the way she did, it would have been better. I wonder what "blast from the past" will beat down Slater next week...
