Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted August 20, 2004 I never did understand why WWF would keep rereleasing the WMs in a box set, but never did with the Rumbles, SummerSlam or Survivor Series. I suppose they are worried about how much of the fan base would BUY 5 120 dollar box sets. They should do it though. If TV Shows have season box sets why not WWE?

cawthon777 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 That match aired on television though IIRC. The match that aired was this one, unless they cut it from IYH and spliced it in with the rest of the Raw episode. WWF @ Struthers, OH - High School - June 5, 1995 Monday Night Raw taping: 6/5/95: KOTR Qualifying Match: Davey Boy Smith fought WWF Tag Team Champion Owen Hart (w/ Jim Cornette) to a 15-minute time limit draw as Owen had Smith down in a backslide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC, Vince and Lawler kicked it over to JR and Monsoon to call the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, is there any plans to do it? The Wrestlemania DVD box set is the most obvious DVD to do by far. There are no plans for it that I know of, but you know it HAS to be coming at some point. They have the perfect time to do it now. They can release all 20 in one case, and then on top of that release 4 sets of 5, (1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 15-20) for that that don't want all 20.

Tornado/Mountie is literally 95% resthold or stalling, the Battle Royale is average and the best match of the night (Santana/Flair) is worth **1/2 max. Basically every match suffers from restholds as it's clear they're all trying to save themselves for the Battle Royale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 Eh, I still wish I could get my hands on Battle Royal from Royal Albert Hall since I am a battle royal mark and hearing Monsoon/Heenan argue for 2-3 hours had to be worth something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 20, 2004 I'd get both of them if I could. UK crowds appreciate WWF/E a lot more it seems (as does anywhere outside of North America probably). WWE should really release shows from Japan though. I'd like to see a Jamie Noble/Rey Mysterio match that got a lot of praise in a old Smackdown magazine.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 Id guess the only reason we dont have a wm dvd set yet is , the ridicoulous amount of editing theyd have to do to erase all mentions of wwf, and in wm1s case editing the theme songs of jyd,richter, and hogan/mr t (though its wasnt eidited in the legacy set for some reason. and from wm 14-18 the obvious logo blurring btw if the lawsuit only applies in the uk, why do they still have to do the editing/blurring in the us? (perhaps it would be too hard to do extra work?) would they get sued again or someting (i still cant believe vince took this lying down, he shoulda just made some dontaions to the panda lovers or somethin) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also on the Battle Royal at Albert Hall show, Monsoon and Heenan are hilarious here in every match! The WM 1-9 video was horrible I thought. Jesse Ventura's commentary was edited from the first six WMs with "Special" commentary from Gorilla and Jim Ross. There are some obvious mistakes as well, like someone mentioned the Warrior vs Savage match is billed as a WWF Title match for whatever reason and Vince says that Undertaker's first Wrestlemania appearance was at WM8! I probably wont be getting thse, may as well stick to the VHS releases I already have as DVD quality doesn't affect me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably wont be getting thse, may as well stick to the VHS releases I already have as DVD quality doesn't affect me I dont know for sure, but I think the deal is that the fund first objected to vince using the wwf initials back in the 80s and they reached an agreement that he wouldnt use the initials in the uk (i guess thats where the other wwf is located?), but of course he never did listen and by 2001 the lawsuit was on (gives credence to the earlier thought that they didnt care until wrestling became hot in the late 90s) by the 2002 settlement again said he coudln't use the initials in the uk, but vince solved all the probs by simply changing the intials to wwe the blurring as mentioned before is due to the fact that the fund objected primarily to the scracth wwf logo for whatever reason (maybe cuz its so well known in the wrestling boom of 97-99) and the older logos were from years ago. I HATE THE EDITING its particularily annoying to me on the flair dvd where in the royal rumble chapter, in all his wwf interviews, they do a quick edit to cut out the letters wwf (including in the rumble post match promo, where Flair had said "When you are the king of the WWF you rule the world." they do a quick wipe and "cut out of the wwf" from that- and the logo blurring is a main reason i refuse to buy the dvds such as foleys and benoits) man makes me want to wear my wwf attitude hat to raw on monday (GREAT IDEA! maybe theyd have to blur me if I was on camera and then you guys would know it was me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 22, 2004 The Benoit DVD is a horrible excuse. Only ONE match has the WWF logo, and it's a Cage match, so it's kinda hard to see the logo anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
