res37618 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Just picked a two-disc DVD set at WalMart devoted to the '03 and '04 trips to Iraq. The entire Smackdown episode from each year is included, plus a ton of related extras and such. Nothing spectacular on the wrestling side of things, but it's a pretty cool set if you didn't see it or want to see what went on. Yes, I know, it's a pretty loud "pat on the back" by WWE, but it's all good. They're donating a portion of the sales to a military-related charity (can't remember off the top of my head what it is), so I guess some good can come from it. And as far as I know, this was only gonna be available from WalMart, so check it out. Best part was the price, it was $12.74, for a two-disc set, that's not bad.
Jericholic82 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 i have both shows on tape, but I might buy this if I see it. I mean if it really does go to charity why not? plus my copy of the 03 xmas show isnt that great qulaity (however I recorded last years in sp mode on a hifi vcr so i dont really need it
2GOLD Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Good move to give a portion of the money to charity. If they were smart, they would have gave all profits to a charity and wrote it off on taxes. Then how can you call it a pat on the back if you aren't making a dime?
Guest theanswer1824 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 what are the extras? it's the only reason why i'd pick it up.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 what are the extras? it's the only reason why i'd pick it up. I really hope there arent all the Creed Video packages..I was just joking..
Guest hhheld_down Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 i might pick this up as well, i missed both shows (not that i seemed to miss much) but still itd be nice to add to the collection. JBL's stint this year could make the dvd some what worth it
res37618 Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Posted April 2, 2005 Yeah, the extras are all trip-related, meaning, there's no matches from over here or anything like that. Some of the stuff is pretty cool, I guess, like "After the Show" kinda segments, with the troops chanting for beer, various superstars talking about their experiences over there, a photo gallery, and a couple of promos cut before and after the trip here in the States. Nothing major, but for $12 and change, I thought it was cool.

SuperJerk Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Sounds like the a total waste of money, since the Iraq shows weren't that good. All the extras are superstars visiting the troops? Thats like the last 6 months of Confidential rolled into one. No thanks!
natey2k4 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 They could of at least added the Velocity shows for each... although 8 matches (and I wouldnt mind having that Benoit/Guerrero match on DVD) and quite a bit of extra's it's probably worth the $12 dollar investment. It could be worth a chunk more in a few years on Amazon or whatever, like $25 or something lol.. EDIT: wait or was there even Velocity shows?

Steviekick Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 The corresponding Velocity for those shows was just a recap.
slimm44 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 The DVD is available on wweshop.com now...If I see it anywhere like Best Buy, I will probably pick it up
Guest Shadow Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Why buy it @ Best-Buy where they would charge 21.99 for it while wal-mart as noted sells it for 12.74. They have the Royal Rumble @ Wal-Mart for 14 bucks as well. BB is charging im sure 20 bucks.
