More info on 'Wrestlemania: Anthology' DVD boxset

When is the release date for it, because HMV in Australia has Box 1 listed as coming out on August 22 2005, could that be 22 September?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

It's usually one-two months after the US/Canada release date, so if it isn't available in the US at the moment, I wouldn't expect a September release in Australia.

Shock.com.au (the distributer of WWE DVDs in Australia) lists the Box 1 release date as being 115 days from now, which would make sense if it has an October/November release in America and Canada.

Holy shit, I forgot Tenryu was in WWF.

 

Well, I know which set I'm buying first.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's a really bad Tenryu match. Demolition and Kitao & Tenryu was a heatless blah match. Doesn't showcase his talents at all.

[slabinskia]

I like how everyone complains about wmIV being so long.There are only about 5 minutes seperating wmIV-VII.Maybe it is because wmIV is on 2 tapes on chv and v-vii are on 1 tape.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

No, it's because 4 keeps giving the same boring mid-card bouts "Bravo...Muraco...Roberts/Rude snoozer...Bigelow...Gang...Reed...Valentine..."

 

POWERRRRRRR WRESTLERSSSS!!! FOREARMS!!! BEAR HUG!!!

 

Hey everyone let's take a break from these guys and bring out HERCULES and ULTIMATE WARRIOR.

 

Shoot me.

 

While WM 7, not without flaws, at least attempts to push fresh acts, including a good Rockers/Heenan Family match, putting guys like Tornado, Mountie, Earthquake, and LOD over fairly convincingly, having an EPIC Retirement Match which still can bring tears to the ol' eye (mark!), a megaover Bossman challenging Perfect, and a main event that while lost steam, was better than Savage/DiBiase just because by the end of WM 4, the crowd was all on Elm Street.

WM7 was so drastically under rated. It showcased alot of new talents, had an one of the better openers that tends to get forgotten to easily, a main event that was better then it should have been (The storyline is why it's so badly revered), an epic and touching retirement match that pulled the perfect execution of entertainment.

 

I think it's the weak story for the main event and the flood of matches that gave people a bad taste for WM7. WM 4-5-6-7 all had that "Put on 13-15 matches" formula and WM7 was the best offering in a complete package.

[DrVenkman PhD]

I love WMVII. Heenan and Gorilla are super, too. I love Hennan and Monsoon's interaction during the Tenryu/Kitao vs Demolition match.

 

"YOu'd have trouble if his name was Fred"

"His name is Fred Kitao?"

 

I've been refering to Kitao as Fred Kitao ever since.

[Jericholic82]

so the instant replay debate segment is cut from wm 7?

 

however or wm 6 it doesnt mention the prematch demolition or collosal conenction interviews, but does have the later demo one (which was cut on my legacy box set vhs)

 

 

and someone made an error cuz I didnt know steve allen played piano at wm 17 (in fact wasnt he dead by then? lol)

He died earlier that year and they replayed that segment with him from an earlier WM to commemorate him.

[Guest Sykotic2002]

I hope the edited doesn't mean Jesse Ventura's commentary will be editied out. That would be horrible.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

oh ok, I didnt rememebr that as I havent watched wm 17 in a long time.

 

And Jesse wont be edited out as we have discussed that issue many times before. anything already relased by wwf/e on video is fair game, its his wcw work that has to be edited.

[Lil' Bitch]

That's too bad these DVDs won't have extras on them, I just hope the PPVs are in their full entirety with the CHV extras still included.

[Perfxion]

WM4 and WM5 are neck and neck for the most boring WMs. They go on forever. WM5 has like 20 matches and by the time Savage faces Hogan, I am completely burned out. WM4 is nothing but steroid monsters wrestling steroid monsters. Every match just drags. The tag title swtich is the best match on the card. And when the Demos are in match of the night, you know you are in trouble.

 

As for WM1 through 14, what extras could they really do? Have Jr and whoever is alive from the match do an alt audio?

[tpww7]

They could add little packages showcasing what led to certain matches, promos building up to the matches...etc.

Jesse was edited out of the JYD-Savage match on the 80s dvd. That was on a previously released video....

[landy1987]

Silvervision says on their website there are no extras at all

I didnt even notice that and I have that dvd lol

 

anyhow if you look at the listings on the first page of this thread, it shows at wm 2 jesse interviews hogan, jesse introducing the la portion of the show, and at wm 4 and 5 jesse being introd to the crowd (and he did some posing as well) so I assume no commentary editing will be done on this.

 

well jsut have to deal with gettign the F out and blur-a-mania in the later years

[ChrisMWaters]

You know...re-watching WrestleMania X-Seven...

 

How the hell are they going to edit all the WWF name mentions and such?

 

I mean, WWF New York...calling The Rock the WWF Champion...the Australian fan saying "WWF Rules"...

 

Something's gotta give.

[Fökai]

All "WWF" mentions, as already done on previous DVD releases, are going to be edited out with dead air.

 

As you know, they CAN say World Wrestling Federation.

That's going to sound REALLY strange when talking about WWF New York.

[Styles]

You know, I might just be mishearing things, but am I correct on recent releases they've just started muting the "F" leaving the "WW" part?

They can use Jesse for entire shows, but if there is just one match they can't use him without paying royalties, and since Vince is a cheapo, we get no Jesse commentary on stuff like Savage/JYD and Cactus/Sting from Foley's DVD.

 

At least the commentary for WM III won't be touched. Jesse's commentary in Hogan/Andre reminds me of why he's the greatest color commentator in history.

[Slickster]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Exactly, that's what they do on the Warrior DVD; they leave the promos and everything intact and mute the 'F.' They also blur the letters 'WWF' whenever they appear on screen.

The "logo" is OK, but any use of the initials WWF in any font on-screen other than the old logo has to be eliminated. When showing the WWF title match between Backlund and the Iron Sheik on the "Greatest Stars of the 80's" set, the "WWF" part of the on-screen graphic announcing the main event is blurred.
