Is a Wrestlemania DVD set coming out ?

[Jesse Badass 0]

I heard that a Wrestlemania DVD set was coming out. Is this true?

[GreatWhiteNope 0]

No, although Wrestlemanias I-IV have already been released to DVD in the UK.

[Guest LooneyTune]

I wouldn't worry about it. Even if they did, who in their right mind would by a DVD set that could possible be anywhere between 10 and 20 discs? No average joe fan would buy it because of an obvious high retail price... plus WM's 15-18 are going to be Blurramania, and are already on DVD (along with 19 and 20 of course).

I love it . . . this topic comes up about once every six months or so . . . .

 

I think it may be feasible for Vince to start releasing the WrestleManias one at a time, in the same fashion he's been re-releasing the older Coliseum Videos as inexpensive DVD's. That is possible, but I don't know if a full-fledged box set is something we'll see anytime soon.

no they havent, but they have begun re-releasing the old coliseum video versions to DVd. They've done the first 6 WMs so far, adn several other PPVs like KOTR and Rumble etc

Uh, I think that's what he meant

Blurs on the attitude era events I won't mind. What I WILL mind is the fact that any WM with Jesse commentary will have his comments edited completely out because Vince is too cheap to settle up with him. Gorilla talking to a phantom broadcast partner who never replies for hours straight would be intolerable. If you want an example of Vince's stubborness when it comes to paying Jesse for DVD royalties, watch the Vader/Cactus match from the Foley set....it's downright strange hearing Schiavone having a 2 way conversation with no one. Vince and Jesse seem to be on good terms now, so I say it's time they hash out a deal on royalties....that lawsuit between them was a long time ago.

I'm wondering how well a lot of the old WrestleManias will be edited. Forget the blurring, what about any verbal mention of "WWF". I just watched Austin-Rock from WrestleMania X-Seven a short while ago and I lost count of the number of times JR and Heyman said "WWF".

I think the better question is when the Bret Hart DVD is coming out. It was supposed to be released before Christmas...

It was never officially announced - that match list which circulated a few months back was fake.

Im sure the reason why much of this stuff hasn't been released in the licensing issues. Once Vince comes to a settlement with Marvel and the Panda group, then we'll likely see all this stuff come out.

I believe they're allowed to use Jesse's voice on stuff that's already been released on home video, but i'm not certain.

Actually, I think that Jesse's commentary on WWF footage was handled by the lawsuit. It is his commentary from WCW that Vince is scared of getting sued over. Considering Jesse's commentary is on the Hogan DVD as well as a few otehrs I don't think that a release of WMs on DVD would be a problem. The blurring also wouldn't be a problem for me as I already have 15-20 on DVD. I'd love to have 1-14 and 14 would have minimal blurring as they hadn't quite made the full switch over to the scratch logo by then. The turnbuckles and WM logo were still the block lettering.

on Foley's DVD they also edited the WWF "Jack Foley" squash match with Jesse's commentary. and they have released several things on DVD that were never on video before with Ventura's commentary e.g. Rockers debut match

I'm willing to bet all the WrestleMania's will be on the new WWE 24/7 OnDemand channel. Just get satellite or digital cable, and there you go.

Except for the minor setback that no one gets WWE 24/7 yet, and no cable companioes are particularly hurried in the effort to add it.

[Guest CronoT]

From what I understand, Time-Warner Cable and DirecTV are going to be carrying it.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Jesse Ventura agreement: Anything WCW not allowed. WWF stuff never previously put on video not allowed. His Wrestlemania broadcasting will not be edited out sicne they have been released multiple times on tape over the years.

[Nevermortal 0]

They should probably start releasing them in fives. It'd probably be easier on the fan's wallets and a yearly release around the holidays would help them really clean up in sales.

Nothing like using a mortgage payment to get wrestlemania I thru XX.

[Jericholic82 0]

hey I paid 149 bucks for the legacy wm box set on vhs (wm 1-14) so hey im up for anything lol

 

and wm 1 would also have to do alot of editing out wwf and theme songs like JYDS another one bites the dust, us express's born in the usa, wendi richthers girls just want to have fun (really they eidited it out during a confidential from the vault segemnt awhile back) plus hogans eye of the tiger, although ironically all the songs are kept intact on the legacy box set mentioned above

They can still market the WWF initials internationally I believe, which is why those CHV DVDs haven't been re-released over here.

[Guest Ransome]

Yup, they've got the resources to stick a ton of extras on there also. Interviews, buildup to matches, audicommentaries etc. It would at least be favourable to the old VHS tapes lying around.

Are the DVDs for Mania 17 and 18 hard to find? I've heard that they are or they're expensive or something but I've never really looked. I guess I could since it's only a click away....

[Bruiser Chong 0]

WM 2000 and WM X-7 are tough to find. Even though 18 is OOP, it's not really in high demand.

[reign 0]

Just checked Amazon and JEEZ are those two expensive! WTF...like $50 a piece...I just want them for TLC and Heymans commentary and Rock/Hogan and Austin/Hall...anybody think that they're worth the cash?

[Guest LooneyTune]

Considering the PPV's only cost $35-40, hell no. Just live with a PPV copy on a VHS. Same thing, and unedited.

[Guest mynameisdane]

I don't quite understand the conversion rates. If Amazon international has WM 3 and 4 for 18.99 (Pounds) would I be paying much more or much less in $'s?

[Guest LooneyTune]

If my thinking is accurate, 1 pound is $1.35-$1.40 give or take. For example, a $5 American magazine is somewhere near the 3 pound mark.

Jesse's been heard in DVD extras for Hulk Still Rules and other discs. So, I don't know what the details of Jesse/Vince are, but that might blow holes in your nightmare.
