Guest fairtoflair7 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Got it today thinking it won't be that bad.....well it is. THe show sucked as we all know with its fixed balloting and horrible choices. I hoped the extras would be good at least since the WWE does that kind of stuff with great matches. Well....there is crap. On the DVD there are little raw moments that they showed throughout the months leading up to Raw X. You've seen them all and they are very repetitive. There are ONLY 2 matches on the DVD. The Raw TLC ladder match which is all right but it was voted match of the decade on raw which is a travesty. The other is Damien Demento vs. Undertaker from the 1st Raw. Good extra but WHY only 2 matches. We also get many interviews saying the smae thing over again from different people. There is some behind the scene footage which isn't that spectacular. The only other interesting thing of note is they have a bit on how the opening montage was made and hpw they set it up from 95-96. All I'm saying is that if you are looking for a Hulk Rules type DVD...DO NOT come near this one. There isn't anything of note/redeeming that comes with this DVD.

Guest fairtoflair7 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Yep...I did ...big mistake....I'm going to try to sell this disgusting pile of crap which is known as Raw X.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted May 10, 2003 TLC 4 as the match of the decade for Raw? Are they high? I can name five matches much better than that one. I can name 5 matches that year better then that. That's a big problem with the WWE, they don't acknowledge anything that happened more then a year ago. Most of the "Greatest Raw matches" were from the last year or so on that list. The show was embarassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted May 11, 2003 TLC 4 as the match of the decade for Raw? Are they high? I can name five matches much better than that one. I can name 5 matches that year better then that. I can name a gimmick match better than that in 2002 on Raw. Hell, I could name a gimmick match in 2002 involving a ladder better than TLC 4. Scratch that, I could name a gimmick match in 2002 involving a ladder and RVD better than TLC 4 (that being Eddy/RVD of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2003 Show sucked but I got the DVD free when I bought Best of cinfidential so I can't complain. Plus it's free and you get the Austin/Pillman segment on DVD and the awesome video package of the wrestlers who died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JRE Report post Posted May 11, 2003 The lack of footage probably had something to do with them having to edit out all of the WWF logos. They would have been better off releasing a Nitro Anniversary special. Which actually is a good idea for a DVD by the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted May 11, 2003 Stealing your thunder, TS.... Just picked up the No Way Out 2003 DVD....and let me tell you: it's a good thing that the "Borders" chain has a "online reserve" option, or else I would've been fucked. Anyway, first thing I noticed on the DVD cover, was that Austin's appearance at RAW show at Staples is advertised right below his match-up graphic. They're breaking kayfabe and acknowledging untelevised stuff....cool. A SPECIAL WWE OFFER As I look at the spine of the DVD case, I notice this out-of-place graphic. Best way to describe it, is that it has Angle's head, Kane's flying clothesline and a giant "2" emblazoned on it. To my surprise, in the inside cover of the DVD case, there's an advertisement for a WWE promotional "DVD storage case". If you're able to purchase all 12 PPV's spanning Royal Rumble 2003 to Armageddon 2003, and collect all twelve "proofs of purchase" (don't worry, the POP is on the same insert; you can just cut it out) Send it to the address listed on the advertisement, and you will receive this swank storage case to house them all. It reminds me of the "Wrestlemania Legacy Collection" case, though this one gets a little better.. When you line up all of the DVD's in the storage case, their case spines create this giant "WWE 2003" graphic, with wrestlers filling the background of the picture. Notables seen more than once are Triple H and...well, that's it. Notable omissions are Booker, Rock, Austin, Benoit, Edge and Los Guerreros. ONTO THE DVD, WE GO... First off, when you pop the DVD into your player, you'll get a cool advertisement package for the RAW Tenth Anniversary DVD, which glosses over the entire span of RAW, with a good three minutes of clips. Good stuff, as I am amazed at the effort of the Production & Editing groups for their work with the video packages. Thing is, the "executive talent" can't expend the same amount of effort to ensure that a former wrestler or announcer will show up on the same heavily-advertised show. All starts well with the DVD, BUT THEN...you will run into a UN-SKIPPABLE "Don't Try This At Home" advertisement, which has pissed off to no end since I've bought this. I know you're trying to frown upon the same acts and behaviors being exhibited in real life, but do it in another forum. (That's what HEAT! is for) The interactive menus for the DVD are one of the best I've seen in a WWE release; it consists of a simple black menu, with four television screens playing a video package of the PPV (this is set in the middle of the screen). The fonts are very simple. Cool to note, that each television, from left to right, has a half-second delay from screen-to-screen, as Evanscence' "Bring Me To Life" welcomes you to the show. ZEE EXTRAS --Austin's return to the WWE two weeks before No Way Out, at the 02.10.03 RAW --The Rock/Hogan confrontation on the 02.20.03 Smackdown (Notable for Rocky "hulking up", then spitting in Hogan's face.) --Three short 30-second commercials hyping each match from the triple main event. --Post-match interviews with --Chris Jericho (whose face is REALLY fucked up by the superkick.) --Matt Hardy (who talks about immediately changing the title nameplate to suit Version One.) --Brock Lesnar (who's barely able to speak, but cuts a promo for Wrestlemania XIX.) --Evolution stable (basic heel promo, "Evolution's just passed you by"...blah blah blah.) --Steve Austin (nothing of note, though you can hear Rocky's entrance music in the background). --And HEAT stuff: Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble, a Bishoff/Morley/Jericho backstage segment and a Commonwealth Connection interview. Haven't got around to watching the match, but the interview with the tag champs is pretty funny (Regal keeps selling his "power of the punch" ability). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll try to not spoil the extra with Steve Austin's surprise appearance, but if anyone requests it in this thread, I'll begin to summarize/transcribe it. It's about 12 minutes, so be patient. I'll also be happy to answer any questions about the PPV transfer itself- anything you noticed that may have been cut out, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted May 11, 2003 I'm just wondering... who won the awards for those two bonus categories? Undertaker for "Now THAT's an Entrance!" and Trips for "Lasting Impression" (I'm too lazy to remember what the award was defined as) Each had an unique bit with Coachman, when they were presented the award. HHH's award proved to be faulty (the RAW logo fell off of the award), so he and Coach had a little spat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2003 Classic Undertaker or lame biker Undertaker? And Triple H won Lasting Impression... yeah, he's leaving a lasting impression on Raw, all right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted May 11, 2003 Classic Undertaker or lame biker Undertaker? Dammit, I just did a post, which was then erased by a "Page Did Not Display" error....fuck. All of the eras of Undertaker were represented in this award. Nominess for this category were: --Goldust. --Chris Jericho. --Degeneration X. --The Brood. For his acceptance speech, Taker feigned interest in being awarded with the...uhh, award, and jokingly offered to take Coachman's announce position in the near future. And Triple H won Lasting Impression... yeah, he's leaving a lasting impression on Raw, all right... It's more of a lasting "Impression", where a group or stable impersonated another worker. HHH (representing DX) won the award for the Nation of Domination parody, beating out: --Shawn Michaels (Undertaker spoof) --Vinnie Mac (Ric Flair imitation, complete with robe and wig) --The Rock (a combination of all of his promos directed at HHH, UT, Kane, TBS, Austin, WCW, etc).
