MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 The Blu Ray version of WM 24 is only $32 at shopzone. Makes me feel like an idiot for spending $70 on the HD version live.
IronManLUNG Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Speaking of Mania, anyone know the buyrate for the PPV or has it not been released yet?
Enigma Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 The Blu Ray version of WM 24 is only $32 at shopzone. Makes me feel like an idiot for spending $70 on the HD version live. What? Were you expecting the BluRay to cost more or something? I don't see how it's any different than a $40 PPV costing $20 on DVD.
DrVenkman PhD Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I wish they would release widescreen "enhanced for widescreen televisions" standard DVD versions of their PPVs. The Rumble match was framed so poorly for the non-HD broadcast.
Matt Young Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 - Kevin (Thorn) Fertig and Drew (McIntyre) Galloway have both been removed from the WWE.com roster pages. WWE has not announced releases of either so it appears both have been sent down to FCW. Credit: PWInsider.com

Credit: PWInsider.com Not surprising, THEEE Drew Galloway's debut was less then impressive, he cut a strange promo that almost made him a face, then acted like a heel when he came out. Shame though, his cocky character he's had a for a few years over here in the UK was pretty awesome. He had a stable called The Foreign Legion, him (Scottish) a Frenchmen and a German (I think) and they played the cocky/wimpish heels really well
Thanks for the Fish Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 He's tagging with another Brit in FCW. hThey're calling themselves "The Empire"...

I was there for his debut and thought for sure the whole "I've got dual citizenship so please chant USA!" was an new twist on getting the crowd to give the guy heel heat for TV, but I guess it was a televised character trait.
Lil' Bitch Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I wish they would release widescreen "enhanced for widescreen televisions" standard DVD versions of their PPVs. The Rumble match was framed so poorly for the non-HD broadcast. Agreed. I had the same problem with No Way Out 2008. Some of the matches look horrible in full screen.

Enigma Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Best thing from the new WWE message board: The new ECW is better than the old ecw. The NEW ECW features WWE superstars. The old ecw featured indy rasslers and wash outs who got fired from the NWA/WCW and the WWF. I also like how their message board looks like something straight out of 1998 too.
cabbageboy Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 The original ECW did actually have a bunch of indy wrestlers and WWF/WCW hasbeens. However, there were the guys who Heyman molded from those categories that ended up creating a new niche for themselves, as well as guys who made a name for themselves in Japan and Mexico.

That's the same guy that asked if Buddy Rogers' brother did the job to Bruno on May 17, 1963 when that rumor was shot down about four years ago. Take that quote with a grain of salt.
ryankeast Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Was thinking if anyone could recommend some good WWE DVDs like the documentaries they do - Really loved The Four Horseman, Jake The Sanke, ECW, WCCW and Monday Night Wars. Thanks

Thanks The Brian Pillman set is amazing. One of the better documentaries I've seen and the bonus matches are great too. It's worth the money.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 He's tagging with another Brit in FCW. hThey're calling themselves "The Empire"... Strange how things go around, one of the promotions Drew McIntyre sometimes worked for over here in the UK had a long standing Stable called 'The Empire' fronted by 'Sir' Jonathon Britain. Guess we'll see what happens to Drew. As for Kevin Thorn, they must like him as I'm sure anyone else would have been released by now after 2 attempts at pretty 'good' gimmicks fizzled out. -- This made me laugh, TNA4Life's post and his avatar just made me laugh haha http://fans.wwe.com/go/thread/view/701/175...better_than_TNA haha shit, the topics keep getting better: http://fans.wwe.com/go/thread/view/701/262...ink_is_on_ROIDS

claydude14 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 http://fans.wwe.com/danielbenoit http://fans.wwe.com/go/thread/view/691/273...num=10&pg=1 I'm surprised to find this kind of humor on WWE.com (I figured there'd be more marky fans that wouldn't be into this), I love it. All the gimmick accounts are done pretty well.
Enigma Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Former WWE World and Intercontinental Champion, The Ultimate Warrior, has announced that he will come out of retirement on June 25, 2008 to wrestle his first match in almost 10 years. He will be working for the Nu-Wrestling Evolution promotion in Barcelona. His opponent will be current NWE Champion and former WWE United States Champion, Orlando Jordan. Warrior and Jordan worked an angle at an April 15 NWE show where Warrior was receiving a lifetime achievement award. During the ceremony, Jordan interrupted and mocked a young fan at ringside only to have Warrior come to the fan's defense. Warrior is now 48 years old and and his 49th birthday is 9 days before his match but is said to still be in tremendous shape. Warrior has not worked a match since October 25, 1998, the night of his disastrous match at Halloween Havoc 1998 with "Hollywood" Hogan. His last appearance in WCW was the night after Havoc '98. He was originally scheduled to wrestle on a December 1, 2000 i-Generation pay-per-view in Australia against Curt Hennig until he pulled out due to money issues. He was replaced by Dennis Rodman.
The Niggardly King Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 My boy Orlando Jordan getting a big high profile match here, that's awesome
Lil' Bitch Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I met Mick Foley and Nick Bockwinkel at the local mall yesterday. So, who here thinks they could handle the Glamazon in the bedroom? :: raises hand :: Even if I'm wrong, I'd love to find out... Seconded.
Scroby Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Hmm I wonder if Warrior knows Orlando Jordan is bi.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 You guys should check out the WWE Fan Nation Message Board if you're looking for a good laugh. My favorite topic/gimmick poster so far: "I was aborted before birth.. and I don't know what television is.. can you recommend me some good television programs to watch?" by Stephs Aborted Fetus.
DerangedHermit Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 My boy Orlando Jordan getting a big high profile match here, that's awesome The Warrior vs. OJ match will be shorter than the Chris Benoit vs. OJ stuff.
