WWE: Nature Boy Ric Flair - The Definitive Collection

Some things that I am hoping for:

1.) PLEASE have both a standard DVD release of this title as well as a HD (Blu Ray) version. I see that the WWE is going to be offering a Blu Ray disc version of WrestleMania this year and so I REALLY, REALLY wish they would go to the trouble of making this available in Blu Ray as well.

2.) Whether or not it's in Blu Ray and whether or not this is included in their WrestleMania DVD package this year - this DVD absolutely needs to have the following:
The match between Flair and Michaels from WrestleMania 2008, his 2008 WWE HOF induction, and the final 25 minutes of RAW where they had the Flair Tribute (and this NEEDS to have the footage of the Undertaker and Vince McMahon that was not televised on USA).

3. The earlier poster was correct about needing the Sting Vs. Flair match up from Baltimore when Sting won his first NWA/WCW World title. He was also making a good suggestion for requesting the Lex Luger/Ric Flair match from WrestleWar 1990. I would like to see the Ric Flair and Arn Anderson Vs. Doom match from the 1990 Halloween Havoc and some of the promos that Ric did for that Horsemen/Doom feud.

4. It also always seems to me that some of Flair's best promos from his WCW days are omitted from the WWE DVD sets. It's like they almost want to ignore 1989-1992 when it comes to his promo's and matches in WCW.
Which is a shame because there were some great ones.
I would like an hour or more of nothing but his promos and interviews from 1988-1994.

5. I also remember a few sets of promos Flair did with Shawn Michaels back in 2003 or 2004 that were REALLY good. I wish those series of promos and interviews would be included as well as all of the interviews and promos leading with Shawn leading up to this years WM match up.

I Have both the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection as well as the Four Horsemen DVD and both are great DVD's but i hope this one has all the matches that i have waited for to be on DVD. Some matches are Ric Flair V.S. Sting (Great American Bash) Ric Flair V.S. Sting (Clash of the Champions I) Rivalry with Macho Man from WWF, Ric Flair V.S. Vader (Starrcade), Ric Flair V.S. Lex Luger (Wrestle War 1990), Ric Flair V.S. Ricky Steamboat (Spring Stampede 1994), Flair returns to WCW to put the belt on Barry Windham, plus there match, And a lot more NWA footage here.

OK, the Ultimate Collection is pretty darn good and WWE wants to suck old time fans like me out of some more cash so they're going through with this "Definitive Collection".

The first thing we need to say here is that I am hoping for a comprehensive documentary on Flair and his career and life. We got a darn good one on the Four Horsemen DVD but on the Ultimate Collection, Flair just talks and introduces matches and angles and then they show them. Sure, he gives us a little insight on the motivation at the time but a guy like The Nature Boy needs the full documentary treatment like Dusty, HBK, and Bret have had on their DVD collections. Plus, they need to do this or it isn't going to sell as well as the Ultimate Collection did because a lot of fans are going to hate the inevitable overlapping of matches between the two DVD sets.

They need to have the 1993 Starrcade career vs. WCW title match with Vader on this new set. That to me was the most glaring omission from the Ultimate Collection.

Also, bet your bottom dollar that the run-up to this past Wrestlemania and emotional final match with HBK will be on the new set because Vince knows we are all going to go out and buy the WM24 DVD for Flair's HOF stuff and the final match and then he can soak us again a few months later for the Definitive Collection. Why, because Ric Flair is the freaking man.
