You want them to repeat the same matches from before thus rendering this purchase worthless?
There are less matches because a) most of the biggest matches are on the first set and b) the first disc on this set is a full documentary which the first set did not have.
And the Clash I match vs Sting alone went 45 minutes so the running time is well spent with long matches.
I shall hope for a review copy then, that Sting match ius an absolute classic. The point I was trying to make was why release this as a ultimate collection when there is (A very good) one already in exsistence?

Curt Hennig, better known as Mr. Perfect, competed for the American Wrestling Association, World Wrestling Entertainment and World Championship Wrestling. Born the son of legendary Larry The Axe Hennig, it was perhaps inevitable that Curt would want to follow in his fathers footsteps. But Mr. Perfect lived up to his moniker becoming one of the best in-ring technicians of his generation. A former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, he was also the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the 1990s. Loved by fans and friends alike, Mr. Perfect entertained in and out of the ring, earning him the honour of induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. This two-disc set relives his life and career, from his early start as a second-generation star through AWA, WWE, and WCW. Some of his greatest matches and vignettes are included. Who was this man? Heres a hint he was absolutely perfect.

Here's an EPIC FAIL if ever I saw one. It's the list of people interviewed for the new Ric Flair DVD:
Ric Flair David Crockett Harley Race Jim Brunzell Greg Gagne Dusty Rhodes Baron Von Rasckhe Jack Brisco Jim Ross Michael Hayes Kevin Von Erich Greg Valentine Arn Anderson Tully Blanchard Barry Windham J.J. Dillion Triple H Shawn Michaels John Cena Edge Batista Randy Orton Dory Funk, Jr. Jim Cornette Bruce Prichard Gene Okerlund The Flair Family
No, I'm not talking about Cena being on there but there is one glaring omission from that list (and it's not Steve Lombardi either)....
i will get the flair dvd because as said above its a good companion piece to the earlier dvd, will get the mr.perfect dvd also but fail to see the value of the rock dvd. Nothing against the man but it doesn't seem all that valuable a purchase from a historical point of view

In the UK, there will be a fourth exclusive DVD featuring the Eddie Guerrero Tribute shows from the week Eddie passed away. I'd expect a retailer in the United States will pick up that exclusive version as well.
Im really liking the look of that set of Eddies though i wish there was more of Eddies work in mexico with art barr and his Japan matches,espicially as black tiger,though i guess the E hasent the rights for them which sucks,would be pretty cool to see some of those moments.Sounds like itll do him justice.Have to admit itll choke me up seeing him in his last match against Kennedy..Ill be buying this for sure.
A lot of his stuff from Japan features Benoit which is very likely why it's not included in the set.
As for his Mexico stuff, the only footage I believe WWE has is the When World's Collide PPV because it was held in the US with help from WCW, which WWE obtained when they bought the company.
That sucks on both accounts.Iv read a lot about Eddies team and how great he and Art Barr were as a duo in mexico,would have been cool to see more about that part of his career.Seen a few of his Japan matches and as black tiger to but would be nice if they acknowladged both of these things in the set.But the more im reading the match listens and extras,the more i have to get this ^-^.
it's a must buy for me, though the tag match from when worlds collide should have been on there. His NJPW match against Ohtani in the super junior cup is a bad omission also
