Silver Vision stop selling old PPV's


Recommended Posts

Posted

Silver Vision are going to stop selling WWF videos as of Nov. 7. Apparently the World Wildlife Fund don't like Silver Vision using the WWF name but you can still get your WWE videos/DVD's. Thank god I've got all the WWF videos I want, apart from Survivor Series 1996, which I'll have to get within the next month or so.

The website will only have six videos after Nov 7th.

Incase anyone is intrested this is the e-mail they sent out.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Due to the court ruling brought by the World Wildlife Fund, and injunction resulting from such a lawsuit, Silver Vision will no longer be able to sell certain World Wrestling Entertainment (previously World Wrestling Federation) videos and DVD's. All video and DVD titles will be deleted after the 7th November 2002 with the exception of the following titles, which will continue to be available as well as all future pre-order titles:

 

King of the Ring 2002 - WE295/WWE1038

Judgment Day 2002 - WE294/WWE1037

Vengeance 2002 - WE296/WWE1039

Summerslam 2002 - WE297/WWE1040

The Videos Vol.1 - Ramped Up - WE309/WWE1052

Divas Undressed - WE307/WWE1050

 

Last date to order back catalogue titles on Silvervision.co.uk will be:

Thursday 7th November 2002.

bullshit, does this mean nobody else can either?

This really pisses me off. At least they are selling all the Videos/DVD's that are to be deleted at half price. I just ordered Survivor Series 1991 and plan to order some more before they delete them. How long do videos normally take to get from SilverVison.co.uk? Anyone know? By the way, I was in HMV today and they have a sale on with some WWF/E DVD's in the sale. They included Wrestlemania X-Seven, InVasion 2001, Survior Series 2001, Royal Rumble 2001 and Funniest Moments. I picked that up too 'cause it was only £6.99. The rest were £9.99 expect for Wresltemania which was £12.99. I think!

Well, sometimes orders only take 2-3 days but occasionaly they'll take around 1 week, but they're pretty good.

I've ordered a copy of Survivor Series 87 for a friend of mine who doesn't have access to the internet as its the only event he's missing from his collection. I couldn't believe this news when I heard it and it pissed me off no end, luckily my mate has just about everything else and will gladly lend/copy me any event (especially after he gets his SS87 video!).

 

Can the WWE re-release any 'WWF' stuff in the future in any way? Is there any way an old PPV could be 'packaged'/'edited' ('brand new' commentry on classic matches by M. Cole for example??!!) to be an acceptable WWE 'product' as it were?

I always thought WWE tried to forget their past, so I don't think they'd do that Anorak. Oh yeah, I just ordered my last PPV from SV :( Survivor Series 1996. Luckily enought that was the only WWF PPV I wanted to complete my collection of WWF videos that I want.

You're right, I know better than to expect anything like that myself really but I guess its natural to clutch at any straw when faced with this horrible news. Your'e right about the WWE forgetting their history as well, they only seem to refer back to it when they try to cash in on 'Wrestlemania History' merchandise once every year.

 

I think I need to order myself a copy of Survivor Series 96 as well, I hope Silvervision is well stocked for the rush this month!

I got King of the Ring 97 and 00 to go, plus most of the In Your Houses, but who cares about them. Just got 4 videos for £30 from Silvervision. Some you can't find in shops. Bargain.

Thanks for the info man!

I've bought two videos from them in the past. Summerslam 92 & 93. They sent them at different times strangely enough...

 

I only have £4 so I bought '1996: In Year Review' :unsure:

 

Is it any good?

Does this only apply to WWF Home Video's released in the UK, or is this for the United States too?

Okay, thanks alot. That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure.

I know you guys get generally screwed when it comes to live events and even some of the television shows, but you've had a pretty good deal when it comes to home videos.

 

Here in the states, the only way to get any home videos before the WWF's buyout of Coliseum Home Video in December 97 is to search on eBay.

 

IN YOUR HOUSE titles like GOOD FRIENDS...BETTER ENEMIES, MINDGAMES, COLD DAY IN HELL, AND DEGENERATION-X are so hard to find that they can easily get up to $75 on auction sites. Other titles like BATTLE ROYAL AT ALBERT HALL, UK RAMPAGE 91, and UK RAMPAGE 92 were never even released in NTSC format.

Yeah, we're pretty lucky but that's gonna change as of Nov. 7.

You guys can still find many people on e-bay auctioning off WWF PAL tapes. I see them there all the time.

Anyone got the tapes yet? According to the Silvervision website the tape was despatched on Friday 27th September but I still don't have it yet? Any ideas?

I got my King of the ring 96 and summerslam 88 vids on Monday, but am still waiting for my survivor series 87 and 97 vids. Probably gotta make the actual video before shipping it.

I got my Survivor Series 1996 a couple of days ago, 2-3 days after ordering. Like I said, sometimes they send them straight away but the time before my last order the tapes took about 2 weeks.

I sent an e-mail chasing up my order and they sent me one back saying that it would actually take 10 working days for it to arrive so it SHOULD turn up the beginning of this week.

 

I'm checking out the sale at HMV on my way home from work tomorrow anyway.

Just a quick post to say that I finally got my Survivor Series '91 from Silver Vision on Saturday. Luckly, the case was OK so I ordered up Survivor Series '92 from the website. I wonder how long this one will take?
