Programming alert, plus DVD news.

All of this comes from Wrestling Observer.com

Programming alert: The most recent Fight Night Live will be repeated at 4:00 PM ET this coming Saturday, I guess as a warm-up to the night's PPV. So if you didn't see the main event, now is your chance. (OCC note: This would include me)

We've got some WWE DVD release news, so all you need to do is:

DVD News:

    this match was the personal highlight of his career)
  • *Pillman vs. Goldust 9/7/97
  • *Pillman vs. Liger 2/22/92 SuperBrawl from Milwaukee
    These are the dates WWE has listed. I know off the top of my head the SuperBrawl was 2/29/92 so others may be off as well


OCC Comment: The Pillman DVD looks like a set I will have to have. How can a company that does so much wrong, get stuff like this so right?
