Zack Malibu Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Got the IC Title set and the Guerrero set today, as well as Bound For Glory 2008. Still no Starrcade set yet, so hopefully next week I'll have it.
Anakin Flair Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Change it we are dead. Now I am officially needing a new job. Great time for that huh? I saw this coming but there aren't many jobs available these days. Hopefully Best Buy will consider my recent application I feel your pain, man. I've been unemployed since Jan. 1, having been laid off.

I saw this coming but there aren't many jobs available these days. Hopefully Best Buy will consider my recent application I feel your pain, man. I've been unemployed since Jan. 1, having been laid off. I've feel both your pains, I've been on and off temp work since May of 08. I haven't had a full time job since then.
TheFranchise Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I lost my Christmas temp job this week! Buff Bagwell has certainly inspired some positive happy posting here.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 From inside the pages of the F4W Online website, here's UPDATE with Lord Alfred Hayes an update at the alleged "6 disc" edition of the LOW set: --Josh Watko writes that stories of Best Buy going to have a six disc version of the WWE Legends DVD are incorrect. They have a three disc selling for $34.99 and on 1/27 will have six individual disc versions of the show on sale for $12.99 each, with a discussion and a look back at the matches being discussed.
Monty Burns Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks, I'll be pickin up the three-disc set and I'll bring it to SB's to watch.
DerangedHermit Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Best Buy has a sale on the single LOW discs for next week - buy 2, get $10 off.
dubq Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 So, are the single 6 discs the same as the 3 disc set? Or is there more content if you buy it separate?
DerangedHermit Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 So, are the single 6 discs the same as the 3 disc set? Or is there more content if you buy it separate? The first three are the same as the 3 disc set DVDs. The last three have the Hulk Hogan/Bob Backlund ep on one disc, Iron Sheik/Andre on another and Piper/Funk on yet another. They're Best Buy exclusive and I believe they have matches on there as well.

Hah, I know Josh; he's one of my best friends!
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 The Starrcade DVD set has a not-seen-on-24/7 documentary. It's only 45 minutes but it's a nice bit of history (though a lot of it seemed culled together from previous interviews). I do think it marks one of the only times you'll see an officially released WWE DVD paint WWE as bad guys though (they bring up the Survivor Series 1987 deal and how cable companies were bullied into choosing that show in order to get Mania IV).
heyguesswhatidid Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Here's the match listing for the Best Buy exclusive Legends discs, I saw the discs at the bestbuy I work at, so I thought I'd share this with you guys: Andre and Sheik episode: Sheik Vs.

Gert T Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 And I believe the Starrcade DVD set is $23.99 on wwe.com. Best price I have seen yet. Wonder if Flair would comment on why Ronnie Garvin was World Champ going into SC '87?
DerangedHermit Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 And I believe the Starrcade DVD set is $23.99 on wwe.com. Best price I have seen yet. K-Mart and Walmart have it for $19.99.
dubq Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 So, are the single 6 discs the same as the 3 disc set? Or is there more content if you buy it separate? The first three are the same as the 3 disc set DVDs. The last three have the Hulk Hogan/Bob Backlund ep on one disc, Iron Sheik/Andre on another and Piper/Funk on yet another. They're Best Buy exclusive and I believe they have matches on there as well. Sweet! These all come out the 27th, right?

Gert T Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks DH, I usually won't pay over 20 for a WWE DVD. I may head to Wal Mart now.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 Gotta support that urban sprawl to save yourself a few bucks. I'm kidding, of course - Penn and Teller set me straight on those people.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 http://www.hmv.ca/hmvcaweb/en_CA/displayPr....do?sku=1255739 This made me laugh.
Aero Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 For Black Friday 2007, FYE was running a promo where after you bought Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, you got Unforgiven 2007 for free. So, in the ad, next to the picture of the video game, they put a smaller picture of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, with the FREE WITH PURCHASE graphic. That always made me laugh.
DerangedHermit Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 http://www.hmv.ca/hmvcaweb/en_CA/displayPr....do?sku=1255739 This made me laugh. Man-eating bear? I didn't know Mike Knox was featured.
Downhome Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 I picked up all six of the Legends of Wrestling DVDs at Best Buy today. After the deal discounts, the final total was around $50, give or take, about $7.99 each.
heyguesswhatidid Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 I got the Legends of Wrestling DVD's today and I'm watching "Heatseekers" and I go to watch Russo Vs. Booker T. Early in the match a bunch of baby faces come out to stop Russo from escaping the cage. They blur Rey Mysterio's face! THEY BLUR REY MYSTERIO'S FACE!!!!!!!! BEST EDIT EVER!
TheFranchise Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Seriously? That's taking revisionist history to a whole new level. What mask vs hair match?
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 They did that on the first Rey DVD in 2003 too.
heyguesswhatidid Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 They did that on the first Rey DVD in 2003 too. See, I can understand them doing that on a DVD his young fan base is going to buy. But this is a legends DVD, and he's not mentioned by name when he's walking with the crew of faces to the ring. So, even if there was a fan watching that never saw him with his mask, they would just think it was some random cruiser. Also, imagine they do this on 24/7 when they play a WCW show he has a match on, that'll be horrible.

Oh, that was who they were blurring. Talk about trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Got the Legends of Wrestling Collection from Amazon and picked up the three bonus DVDs at Best Buy.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 I didn't mean to justify it, I was just saying it's already been done.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I'll justify it. The wrestling world would be a lot better if we could undo even more retarded WCW booking decisions.
dubq Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I picked up the Legends collection and the three exclusives from Best Buy last night. So far so good. I hope they release more of these - I really liked the heatseekers panel with Bischoff and Foley, as well.
