The format will apparently mirror that of the Undertakers Tombstone set. Honestly, I really don't think the match selection could be any better. The only thing I might add would be another match or two from the WCW Era, specifically the one of the heel Hollywood world title wins (either over the Giant at Hog Wild or over Luger at Road Wild) and the match against Goldberg on Nitro. Also might have thrown in one of his celebrity matches with Rodman for the sheer camp value. Overall though, no complaints.

Poor Match Selection, May 10, 2006
This review is from: WWE: Hulk Hogan - The Ultimate Anthology (DVD)
Here's my one major problem with this DVD set. Many of the matches are already available on other DVDs. The WrestleMania matches can be found on the WrestleMania Box Set, and "Greatest Wrestlers of the 1980s" and "Hulk Still Rules" has many of the same matches.
My question is this: Where are all the great Saturday Night's Main Event matches? How about some good MSG house show matches as well?
Hogan had some really good fueds in the 80s that didn't get a lot of television exposure. Matches against Greg Valentine, Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, Big Bossman, Killer Khan, "King" Harley Race and others made good money at house shows and have appeared in the old VHS format on Coliseum Video's old "Hulkamania" series (for those of us old enough and lucky enough to own some of those!)
As far as the PPV matches go, hopefully the WWE will release SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series sets similar to the WrestleMania set. If so, why bother putting them on this set too?
