WWE To Release A WCW Themed DVD, HBK Remembers Curt Hennig

– Following strong sales for the The Very Best of WCW Monday Nitro DVD last year, WWE has plans to release another video set highlighting the best of World Championship Wrestling later this year.

Amazon.com is currently taking pre-orders for a WCW Clash of the Champions DVD from WWE on May 22, 2012. Run time is listed at 540 minutes.

Clash of the Champions were a series of professional wrestling television specials aired by WCW from 1988 to 1997. The specials were supercards intended to feature pay-per-view caliber matches, similar to the World Wrestling Federation's Saturday Night's Main Event.

– Friday marks the nine year anniversary of the passing of WWE Hall of Famer "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig. Shawn Michaels went on Twitter to remember the legendary wrestler he worked at length with.

"I'd like to honor the memory of Curt Hennig, unbelievably gifted, great teacher and one of the funniest, most joyful guys to be around. Mr.P!!" Michaels wrote.

At the suggestion of Hennig, Michaels adopted "The Heartbreak Kid" nickname upon turning heel in 1992.
