zappafrank 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 So does the match portion of the Starrcade DVD match what was on 24/7? I'm asking b/c it seems like some of the bumpers for 24/7 with Mean Gene, Tully, etc. where made especially for 24/7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benoit is mentioned regularly on Disk 2. Â I got the Guerrero set two days ago, Disk one is excellent, Disk two is nothing special (but does that the parking lot brawl and title win, as well as all the Los Guerreros vignettes and a neat little LG/Team Angle match. Disk Three I haven't started yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disk Three I haven't started yet. Â Yeah, I'm noticing more and more. Â I'm also not on Disk 3 yet. Eddie/RVD from Backlash is a really great match, even if JR sounds like he could care less for some reason for the first half. Eddie/Chavo RR04 is one of my most disappointing matches ever. Hated it on first viewing, thought maybe it'd be better than I remembered but no. I know they were trying to tell a story but it wasn't one anyone wanted to see. Â The sad part of the set is how many instances there are where the higher the match quality, the quieter the crowd. Jericho says as much for his match (WCW one), but the crowd is almost as dead during the Ultimo match and both Backlash matches are pretty quiet too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Amazon.ca can't seem to find a copy of Starrcade to ship (they said the shipping estimate is now January 28th) and Amazon.com has these "Import Fees" that I don't like (plus the US exchange not being parity anymore makes .ca the cheaper option). I guess I'll go look around for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Dude, get it at HMV.. it's cheaper there anyway. I got mine tonight at Yonge/Dundas for $29. They had quite a few in stock. Â That's the price it was on Amazon too. I usually find HMV a bit pricey for wrestling DVDs but sometimes it's on par with everything else. Â I wish MusicWorld didn't go out of business, or at the very least was replaced with HMV at the mall closer to my house. The 'big mall' with the HMV is not always a convenient trip. Â I was actually hoping to use $40 worth of Bluckbuster GCs to get it, but apparently sometime between the last time I had been in the store (which has been quite awhile) they once again phased wrestling out. I blame Blu-Ray for this (the new-to-me BR section took up the rack wrestling and anime used to be on). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Ah, for some reason I thought it was $35 on Amazon. Â Where are you in the city? It might also be worth checking out a BestBuy in-store (not online). I got the Edge set there for $26 and it was $30 everywhere else I checked, including BestBuy's website, which was odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait to hear which matches are on the three bonus discs, if any at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 My daily stupidity for today: I went to HMV and bought what I wanted - Edge, Starrcade, and Rumble 08 to complete the set. Except I was trying to speed it up, so I picked up the first DVD that said "Royal Rumble" because the logo looked right. Â I bought 2007. It was actually Benoit being on the front which tipped me off, then of course I looked at the back and realized I made a dumb move. It's unopened to hopefully they're not bastards about returns, even for store credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 They could have atleast put a good Buff Bagwell match on the disc, I know those are hard to find but I know I remember watching a few decent matches from him over the years.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 And to be honest, I think (or hope) that Buff wasn't the one pushing for that match anyway.
