Guest AndrewTS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I was trying to find a DVD of No Way Out 2001, and it appears it isn't available anywhere. So I ordered a used VHS of it from amazon.com. I THINK I recall the first WWF PPV available on DVD was WM 2000, but until recently, did they only release the "big" PPVs on DVD (Rumble, WM, SurSer, SumSlam)? Lately all of the new PPVs are available on DVD, but hoped to get that one considering how awesome it sounds. I'm kinda confused since No Mercy 2001 was available on DVD, but that doesn't seem like one of the bigger PPVs.
Guest MrRant Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 2001 never came out on DVD as I have been looking for it since I was there live. I have it on VHS.
Guest bob_barron Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 No Way Out 2001 was the last PPV to not come out on DVD and only be on VHS. Austin v. HHH is on two DVDs. Rock v. Angle is on the Rock DVD. Trish v. Stephanie is on a Diva DVD. WMXV was the first PPV to be released on DVD
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 2001 never came out on DVD as I have been looking for it since I was there live. I have it on VHS. Okay, thanks. Damn them. So exactly when did they decide to start putting all the PPVs on DVD?

Angle is on the Rock DVD. Trish v. Stephanie is on a Diva DVD. WMXV was the first PPV to be released on DVD My bad...I tend to forget that XV comes before 2000, since they didn't even acknowledge the number of it.
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 BTW, what bonuses were on the WMXV DVD? I kinda avoided that WM considering how bad much of it sounded, but maybe if they threw in some goodies it would be worth it.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I thought WCW (which was still just barely around in Feb) had a lock on the MGM arena. I guess they using Mandalay Bay or something?
Guest bob_barron Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 They were at the Thomas and Mack Centre
Guest bravesfan Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 There are two PPV's that were before WMXV floating around - Unforgiven 1998 and Rock Bottom 1998 were released on DVD last year as part of the "Attitude Collection", along with "Three Faces of Foley", "Tables, Ladders and Chairs" and "Austin vs. McMahon", among others. All of the DVD's are bare-bones and devoid of extras and have a video quality that's disappointing for a DVD release (aka: the transfer blows...)
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 They were at the Thomas and Mack Centre Uh........ Okay. Note to self: This is what happens when you don't leave the Strip.
Guest tpww7 Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I thought there was a Summerslam 98 DVD for some reason..coulda swore I saw one.
LooseCannon25 Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Trust me......I have WMXV and it sucks donkey balls..........I think there arent that many older DVD's anymore because of the name change for WWE(F). If you go to the WWE website they wont have anything from WWF days. Also, Rock Bottom has pretty bad video quality with absolutely 0 extras. Has anyone seen the Hulk Still Rules DVD anywhere. Everywhere i go they only have the tape, its like the DVD is extinct now
Guest bob_barron Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I thought there was a Summerslam 98 DVD for some reason..coulda swore I saw one. Nope- Summerslam 99 was the first summerslam to be released on DVD
Guest teke184 Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Not only do Rock Bottom and Unforgiven 98 have no extras, they only have 1 chapter stops. It's annoying as f*ck to have to start at the middle of the PPV and fast-forward to Austin-Dude at the end.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Are Rock Bottom and Unforgiven '98 any good? I remember watching Rock Bottom through scramblevision, but don't remember much other than that.
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Are Rock Bottom and Unforgiven '98 any good? I remember watching Rock Bottom through scramblevision, but don't remember much other than that. Rock Bottom had a decent-but-disappointing Mankind vs. Rock match, and Owen Hart vs. Steve Blackman, which was a good little match. The main event was Undertaker vs. Austin--Buried Alive. The Summerslam 98 match was far better. Unforgiven had the shitty Kane-Taker inferno match, Owen vs. HHH for the Euro Title (decent enough match), and a kick ass Dude Love vs. Steve Austin match. Other than that, forgettable.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Yeah I remember the Austin/Taker Buried Alive match. Wasn't the buildup to that match where Taker tried to embalm Austin?
Guest bob_barron Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Isn't that when he crucified him? And I remember Austin kept having blackouts or something
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Isn't that when he crucified him? And I remember Austin kept having blackouts or something Bob, while I'm on the subject, is there any DVD you know of that has the Rock/HHH Iron Man Match uncut? I can't find Judgment Day 2000 on VHS so wondering if there's another place where it is. I do remember in 98 that Austin was crucified. I think it was on a Raw, though. Wasn't that also about the same time as the "Black Wedding?" I also seem to recall Taker about to drive a dagger through Austin's forehead while reciting the Satanic chants until Kane saved him. Yeesh...
Guest bob_barron Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I don't think so TS. Triple H's two DVDs don't have it and it's not on Rock:Just Bring It. I think the length of the match is the reason

Yeesh... The Black Wedding was in '99 after the famous "Where to Stephanie" incident. The "dagger" thing is when Taker tried to embalm Austin. It was an embalming tool. That happened in Dec. 98 on the lead up to Rock Bottom. Not sure about the crucifixion though.
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I don't think so TS. Triple H's two DVDs don't have it and it's not on Rock:Just Bring It. I think the length of the match is the reason They may not have done it but doesn't mean they can't. You can fit a hell of a lot on a DVD, and you can easily fit an hour long match on one along with a ton of others. Plus a 2-disc set of DVDs wouldn't be unlikely for one of the WWE's major stars.

HurriShane Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 I know this may be a little early, but does anybody know when Wrestlemania XIX is going to come out on DVD?
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 since were on the subject of dvds, i got Armageddon and SS on dvd today and they play Edge's old music on both of them, i had to do a double take
Guest bob_barron Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 They do that for every Edge match on DVD
