How are they going to handle the ECW matches since Joey Styles wont give them permission to use his voice. Are they going to have some lame voiceover bullshit?

How so? I thought owning the footage practically meant everything on it except of unlicensed theme music from outside people.

I dont remember where i read it but I remember reading that Styles threatened to sue if they used his commentary because they didnt have permission and that Jesse Ventura had actually sued for the same thing

Ventura didn't sue because they were using his commentary without his say so, it was because he wasn't getting his cut on the royalties from videos with his commentary on them

Thanks for clearing that up. Anyone know if I was right about the Styles thing?

Why is Mind Games on there AGAIN? God...

 

Anyways, solid release, but I still need to get the cage and Flair DVDs first.

Tawren, I order you to buy those DVDs!

 

Flair DVD is better, but that doesn't mean BloodBath sucks.

Yeah, I need to...neither is out in Canada yet, though :(

Yes, you are indeed right sir. If you search 1wrestling.com long enough, you can find his numerous statements on the subject.

 

Basically Joey's bone of contention is that the WWF owns the rights to teh footage, but not his voice or likeness. He already gave them a legal tap on the shoulder when they used him on WWF programming without his permission, so unless they've come to some sort of agreement on a per-match or per-DVD basis (which is entirely possible), expect some sort of "Special Edition!" JR & Mick Foley commentary, a la the Shawn/Nash/Coach commentary on Shawn's DVD.

Jim Ross calling an ECW match?  Please get Josh Matthews, atleast he acknowledges that other wrestling promotions exist and can call some moves.

Or...maybe Michael Cole and Tazz.

Don't get me wrong, I love the RR2000 Street Fight, and the Mind Games match, but COME ON!!! The Rumble match is on 5 different DVDs and the Mind Games one is on two other DVDs already. Where the hell is the HITC match from No Way Out 2000??? It's Foley's "retirement" match and it's never been released on DVD. It Kicks ass, too!!

The rest of the list seems awesome, but it still could have gone over the top, IMO.

 

* marks out for the British Bulldogs tag match *

WWE brings the awesome once again.

 

Maybe they should shut down the promotion and just spend all their time releasing DVD sets. I'm sure quite a few people's opinions of them would improve.

No, they should just let Molly do a demonstration every week.

I agree, I was kinda disappointed when I didnt see foleys retiremnt match in the HIAC as I have wanted that match on dvd for a long ass time now. It kinda pisses me off they have the rumble match on there again, I have that match on dvd at least 3 times now. And I own Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops, so I already got the Mind games match as well. Meh oh well, maybe the HIAC match will be hidden in there somewhere, still a must buy, which like the flair dvd, I probably will never find here.

That can't be right. They have 3 matches from WCW and 5 from ECW. I bought the best of Cactus from ECW and already own most of the WWF matches. The reason I was buying this was for Cactus from WCW. I really hope that isn't the list.

Umm...

 

Where are the *misses*?

 

I'm PRAYING that Foley does some Great spoofs or commentary of Lost in Cleveland or something.

I'm surpised that WWE has the rights to it. Now I can only hope that an Ultimate Chris Jericho set will feature the much talked about matches of Thrillseekers vs Heavenly Bodies.
