I was in my local Virgin today

Thank you for quoting that.

 

Ha! That's excellent.

 

What makes it funnier is the place isn't even called Virgin now.

I saw something on PWI about the Mania DVD coming out in a widescreen "enhanced for 16:9 TVs" format. This pleases me.

yea the new wwe magazine has the wm dvd ad in it and it says that as well. weird, considering the show wasnt in widescreen (at least not on regular ppv, I don't know about the hd version) The blu-ray info also stated that it was in "1080 I" resolution and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.

 

I got the hardys set last week, pretty interesting bios on there, though the match selection is kinda odd, would have liked to seen more of matt's "V1" days on it, and his skits with Shannon and later Crash Holly.

 

We got in like a good 10 or 12 of the hardys set in and I only sold maybe two of them personally and the third was to me so I can't say it is selling well.

Every single thing they shoot now is in widescreen which can be problematic for people not watching the HD feed due to their framing. I don't own a Blu Ray player so I was hoping at the very least WWE would put out widescreen DVDs. Even if it's just for Mania, this is a step in the right direction.

Hardys DVD was actually sold out here which means one of two things. Either:

 

1. The Hardys are the two most over wrestlers in WWE.

 

or

 

2. WWE made fewer copies available in an attempt to lower sales and thus make it appear others are more over when the numbers come in.

3. Your local area is home to the most amount of ugly, fat chicks.

 

 

Buy it on FamilyVideo.com. It's ~$16.98 + $.99 shipping and no tax (at least no tax for me)...better than Best Buy or Circuit City

Had not considered option #3. Except the ugly fat chick at Walmart didn't know what I was talking about when I asked if they had any left.

 

That's surprising

 

Wal-Mart and the WWE is a match made in heaven in the amount of white trash consumers

Silvervision is also advertising the DVD release to be in widescreen.

 

This is a nice positive step from the Rumble DVD, which was only released in 4:3 format in spite of the PPV originally shown in widescreen, which made for some poor frames. Good thing they're not fucking up Mania, OTOH.

No Flair vs. Vader, Starcade '93?

 

WTF.

 

Am I the only person who views that match as not only a highlight, but a major point in Ric Flair's career? Not only should that match be on the DVD, but so should all of the segments throughout the night.

[Boxer 0]

Disappointed in the lack of matches for 3 discs, but I guess they are focusing on other things for this set.

Remember there's a Best of Starrcade dvd coming up soon, so maybe they're saving the match for that release. But yes, I'm also disappointed it's not in this set so hopefully they'll add it to the Starrcade dvd.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Flair has had so many matches I don't think any DVD set will ever be definitive, but these have some more good selections to compliment the 2003 DVD release. I am looking forward to the bio on disc 1, perhaps more than the matches.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Saw this on PWInsider:

 

Details on WWE's "The Rock: The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment" DVD set, which is set for a 6/10 release, have been released. Promotional material for the DVD reads: "Throughout The Rock's incredible sports-entertainment career, fans and foes alike knew enough to know their role, shut their mouth, or risk a beatdown from the Brahma Bull. While he's gone from WWE rings to the big screen, his impact on professional wrestling will never be forgotten. The Rock: The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment highlights the meteoric rise of The Great One, the first man to hold the WWE Championship seven times. This package is packed with 3 discs filled with 19 amazing matches."

The Luger and Savage feuds are inexplicably ignored for the Flair DVD. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise considering what the WWE thinks of those two. That being said, we are finally get the first Clash match with Sting and the Great American Bash match with Terry Funk. I've seen highlights of the Flair and Von Erich 2/3 Falls match and it looks pretty damn cool. Seeing Mid-Atlantic stuff with Brisco and Race should be a treat too.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

That Flair set (The REAL Ultimate Ric Flair collection) is amazing. I can't wait!

 

The Rock set looks good, but I'm disappointed there's still no Rock / Helmsley Iron Man match.

[majormayhem1 0]

Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan get two DVD sets and Howard Finkle doesn't even get one!?

 

 

[The Buzz 0]

Hell if you count the "Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen" Flair has gotten three, and still no Finkle.

I posted the info on the Rock DVD way back a few pages in this thread.

So, the WM24 came out today, and I got the Blu-ray version. I didn't watch any of the actual show yet since I went straight to the Hall of Fame speeches. Rock's entire segment is much better seeing it in full.

 

But Flair's speech... damn. I think it clocked in around 90 minutes or so. Held my attention from start to finish. It's just tremendous. The Benoit mentions are not surprisingly edited out. I think he was supposed to be mentioned right when Flair started talking about coming back to WCW to form the Horsemen with Malenko, Arn, & Mongo. Even edited out, you can't tell that there's anything missing from the footage. It's very smooth.

I continue to be amazed by wwe's hatred for all things Vader. I'm starting to think that the reason there is no Sting dvd is because you couldn't make one without including Vader matches...

Throwbackchampion: Just checking...the black boxset...does that go beyond the gold boxset?

 

Also, are they the exact same discs, or did they fix the music problems.

 

...or haven't you opened either?

I continue to be amazed by wwe's hatred for all things Vader. I'm starting to think that the reason there is no Sting dvd is because you couldn't make one without including Vader matches...

 

 

It would be pretty hard, but I think they have enough stuff on Sting, that they could make a dvd not featuring Vader. It'd be tricky but it could be done.

[FroGG_NeaL 0]

Vader is on Foley's dvds. And I think the Undertaker's too. Sting hasn't gotten a dvd because he's signed to TNA. Before he re-signed with them, he was on the list of dvds to come out this year.

Edit: Apparantly, the only extras for WM 24 is the Battle Royal and the HOF. I'm quite disappointed WWE basically went barebones this year.

 

The length of the HOF is probably to blame for that. But hell, I'll take a 90 minute Flair speech over vignettes and promo videos any day.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

I picked up Wrestlemania and the McMahon DVD together. I'm liking the pairings they've done in recent years. Last years was HBK's Beyond The Vault and this year it's the McMahon DVD. Good shit.

[Anakin Flair 0]

I didn't like how they put the HOF out of synch. I understand the need to split it onto two disks, but still...

 

Can't wait to pick up Flair's new set, as well as the Rock's. Both look awesome.
