Upcoming WWE DVDs and Blu rays

Here is are the DVD/Blu Rays WWE has planned for the next few months

OMG! The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History August 23
Randy Orton: The Evolution of a Predator September 6
The Ladder Match 2: Crash & Burn October 11
Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart October 25

All 4 titles are being released on DVD and Blu Ray. The Blu rays will include exclusive extras. The only upcoming PPV that will be released on Blu Ray is SummerSlam. WWE had started releasing all of their PPVs on Blu Ray but due to low sales have decided to only release the cornerston PPVs on Blu Ray for the time being.

Also in the works is the definitive Steve Austin set which is claiming to be the final Austin DVD and be 4-5 DVDs and will also be on blu ray. Along with tons of matches this will have a bunch of interviews and a tour of his ranch. This is scheduled to be their big holiday release scheduled for mid-December.

Other DVDs currently in the works
Austin/Rock Rivalary (rumored to be pushed back to March 2012 to play off of Rock headling Wrestlemania 28)
A New Triple H 3 dvd/2 blu ray set (this is rumored to be their Black Friday release coming out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving)
Million Dollar Man (this was originally scheduled for June but got pushed back Interviews and a documentary have already been filmed)
Gorgeous George (this will most likely be tied into the theatrical release of a movie about his life the WWE is working on.

DVDs being discussed but not yet in production
New Edge set with documentary (most likely being saved for 2013 with WM29 in Toronto Edge will most likely go into the hall of fame and this dvd will most likely come out then.

Brock Lesner (Heyman and Lesner have had discussions with Vince/WWE in the past few months about merchandising one would expect this to include a classic action figure and dvd/blu ray. Dana White was also at the WWE office recently it may have been to come to an agreement to make a DVD. UFC and WWE releasing best of Brock dvd/blu's the same time would be big sellers, but if somehow they made an agreement to release it as one set that could be huge!

War Games ( fans have been asking for this for ages, the WCW Nitro was the 2nd best selling non-ppv release by WWE in the past 2 years so they are definitely planning to release more WCW content. With the recent best of cage matches set we probably won't see this until next Summer. WWE has been releasing a cage match set on average of every 12-18 months.

Smackdown: The Best of 2010/11
Best of 2011 PPV matches
Shelved at this time
Raw: The Best of Seasons 3 & 4 shelved due to poor sales of Raw: best of Seasons 1 & 2
Nitro: Best of seasons 1 & 2 (converted to a Best of that covered the entire 1995-2001 run)
Goldberg (This was being planned for a March release when WWE hoped to put Goldberg into the Hall of Fame this year, when that didn't happen the DVD was shelved.
