Guest DARRYLXWF Posted June 21, 2002 Report Posted June 21, 2002 I'e recently aquired an AWA DVD with an event named 'Blood on the Sand'. Has anybody seen it, and is it any good?
Guest franchise632 Posted June 21, 2002 Report Posted June 21, 2002 I havent seen the show, but i would interested in where you got the DVD from. Is someone distributing AWA stuff. That would be cool, I never really got to see any of that stuff and I think it could be fun, and with DVD quality makes it so much better.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted June 22, 2002 Report Posted June 22, 2002 is this the new awa indy fed or the classic AWA? wow awa on dvd...that rocks man.
Guest dreamer420 Posted June 22, 2002 Report Posted June 22, 2002 old awa shit would rock. i'm just a mark for old crappy wrestling though.
Guest RetroRob215 Posted June 22, 2002 Report Posted June 22, 2002 I remember seeing the new AWA DVD on Amazon, so I would have to guess it isn't the classic stuff.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted June 22, 2002 Report Posted June 22, 2002 Hell if it sucks its still good. AWA is a total guilty pleasure for me.
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted June 22, 2002 Report Posted June 22, 2002 It is indeed the old AWA. Here is the card: Woody Wilson vs Mr. (Kevin Kelley) Magnificant Steve Olsonoski vs Larry Zbyszko Leon (Bull Power) White vs Brian Knobbs Midnight Rockers vs Playboy Buddy Rose & Prettyboy Doug Summers Tom (Rocky) Stone vs Greg Gagne Candy Devine vs Sherri Martell 6 MAN TAG: 'The Russians' Yuri Goryenko, Alexi Smirnoff, Brois Zhukov VS Earthquake Ferris, Greg Gagne and Leon (Bullpower) White. SURVIVOR CAGE MATCH: Midnight Rockers vs Playboy Buddy Rose & Prettyboy Doug Summers Recorded live at the Showboat Hotel , Casino Las Vegas
Guest swan Posted June 23, 2002 Report Posted June 23, 2002 Leon (Bull Power) White = Vader Two Rockers/Rose and Summers matches? Can't go wrong with that.
Guest franchise632 Posted June 23, 2002 Report Posted June 23, 2002 Sounds promising, I would buy it just to have it, since i have pretty much every other wrestling DVD
Guest RetroRob215 Posted June 23, 2002 Report Posted June 23, 2002 Hopefully I can find it somewhere. What is the going price?
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted June 24, 2002 Report Posted June 24, 2002 Actually, being an Australian, I bought this at JB-HI FI for $8.95, meaning due to our crappy dollar, that's roughly $4.76 US.
Guest dreamer420 Posted June 24, 2002 Report Posted June 24, 2002 isn't that midnight rockers match a complete bloodbath? i swear i've seen it before.
Guest flyingjalapeno Posted June 28, 2002 Report Posted June 28, 2002 Hiya guys, this is the first time I've posted here. I live in Australia and got hold of the "blood on the sand" DVD also, but there a few things that piss me off about it. Number one, the quality is quite awful considering it's a DVD, it's like a second/third generation dub (although for $10 Australian I probably should have expected that). Also the "Woody Wilson vs Mr. (Kevin Kelley) Magnificant" and "Steve Olsonoski vs Larry Zbyszko" matches featured on the cover weren't even included on the disc! Apart from this, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It's a welcome change from watching the WWE, and the commentators actually seemed to put effort into what they were doing. They made the matches seem important and did a good effort in making the wrestlers look good, even though some weren't so great. The Midnight Rockers vs Summers and Rose cage match was a bloodbath, Shawn Michaels did one of the greatest bladejobs I've ever seen. And it's hilarious listening to the commentators fawn all over Greg Gagne during his matches(wonder why that was?)
Guest RetroRob215 Posted June 28, 2002 Report Posted June 28, 2002 The Cage match was bloody, but it wasn't the ESPN bloodfest most people are thinking of. The straight-up tag match earlier on the tape may be the ESPN bloodfest.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted June 29, 2002 Report Posted June 29, 2002 I looked all over amazon and couldnt find it. Can someone post the link so i can order it?
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 The distributer of the DVD was 'Payless Entertainment.' Their website is www.payless.com.au (doesn't have much info), and can be contacted at [email protected] That's about as much help as I can give you, which unfortunetely, is not very much.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 Oy shipping would be killer to ship to SC. well its pretty cheap so ill see about purchasing a copy. Thanks.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 No not yet. Do you have any idea where i can find it?
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted July 2, 2002 Report Posted July 2, 2002 Try this: http://www.geocities.com/bruiserhansen/ they're an australian based tape site with a great selection of tapes, including a dozen or so AWA (inc/ Blood on the Sand) They also have practically every Nitro from 96 to the finish. It's well worth a look.
