Anakin Flair 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post 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.

DerangedHermit 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post 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).

Aero 0 Report post 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.

heyguesswhatidid 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
