The Flintstones season 6 was scheduled for today as well-I saw it referenced in two different release schedules.
The History of the WWE Championship set is nice-three discs with some extremely rare 70's footage on it. Jim Ross hosts, which was absolutely the right decision for this set.

correct on the flintstones sir

also, the WWE set is nice-- i bought it today! my only gripe is that they dont show EVERY TITLE CHANGE, the discuss it and show clips of all the champs and discuss who beat who (EXCEPT of course for the Antonio Inoki/Bob Backlund title swap in japan that they never admitted!) but they dont show ALL the matches

they have some great stuff there, but id rather them skip all the NON TITLE CHANGE matches and just keep the title changes

I plan on getting it at some point, but I'm just curious: do they show the change where Flair beat Savage? I hope so because that match was never released on any VHS during the Coliseum Video days. I only remember seeing it on Superstars or one of those shows.

Hmm, never knew that about that Flair/Savage match. I think there's also a Mcmahons DVD and a WWE managers DVD that was released a while back.

I've been meaning to get the individual ones too, like the Austin Stone Cold Truth one and the sets for Dusty Rhodes and The Road Warriors.

What I'm thinking is that they're saving a lot of the title changes for individual anthologies. There's very little Bruno on there, which makes me think, with or without his cooperation, that a compilation is coming. I have no complaint with them discussing the history rather than recompiling matches that have already been on DVD, though I see what you mean about just showing the title changes-especially everything through, say, Hogan's first run. Still, I picked it up on sale for $20, which is a good price for a 3 disc set.

A Bruno DVD would be interesting. I think he already made a few of his own. He sells them on his website http://www.brunosammartino.com . Anyone ever play the Legends of Wrestling video games? Pretty good, but not as good as they could've been. They made 3 games before Acclaim went out of business. The second one would be the best one to get because it has interviews with a lot of the wrestlers featured in the game. The one for Sammartino shows clips of a DVD he did called Legends Never Die.

I bought the title-history DVD yesterday, and, I have to say, I wasn't all that impressed. I wish they would have done it like they do most of their other compilation sets where they have the main documentary and, then, have a list of all the matches. Also, they basically just skipped over the early and late '90s. I definitely agree with Lamont that they should have concentrated mainly on the title changes. That's what I hoped this set would be: a complete compilation of every single title change.
