WWE: Hulk Hogan's Unreleased Collector's Series DVD Review

Hulk Hogan is back in another dvd set, that the WWE has just released. This time, its rare matches that were never shown on any dvd set out there. This just came out, in November of 2009. It has 3 discs, and is loaded with matches. There are also promos, and interviews as well.

Special Features

There's 8 promos and interviews from 1985 to 2005. My favorite, is the promo with Dennis Rodman and Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach, talking about Vader.

There a couple of flaws with this set. The biggest is having the Bret Hart match on here. This was more for Bret since it showed him joining the NWO. The smaller flaws is a lack of AWA, WCW, and Japan material. When Hogan went to Japan, he was very technical. This style was not big in the 1980's. Thats why Hogan couldn't do it in the WWF.

Overall this is an excellent dvd set. WWE really did a fantastic job of getting these matches together. They were crisp and clear. The match selection was almost perfect. The interviews and promos were funny but cool.This is a great buy for any Hulk Hogan or WWE fan. If you are unfamiliar with Hulk Hogan, or want his known and popular matches, get the Hulk Hogan Anthology or Hulk Still Rules dvd sets.
