I wonder if

The block Logo will be censored

The word “WWF” will be censored

If anything else was censored to achieve a these ratings

JoeyOhhhh

At least some region is getting it.

I might consider importing it, but I might hold out since my budget is tight, and since I have Wrestlemania 1 on LD.

Hopefully a Region 1 release will happen sometime this year.

Class316

They released LDs? Wow didn't know that. What other WWF stuff is available on LD? These would be nice DVD transfers (they're uncensored)

JoeyOhhhh

Only 4 I know:

BEST OF HULK HOGAN
BEST OF VOL.1
BLOOPERS, BLEEPS & BODYSLAMS!
WRESTLEMANIA

Only one I'm missing is Best of Vol. 1

I really hope for more matches to be on the dvd they could easialy do a 3 dvd set which awsome matches from both brands.


Anyway if somone got more info that would be great and so is about the Foley upcoming dvd , my questions is if the matches that are shown are all full length.

Thanks.

oh damn you, can you at least let us know that it comes only in region 2 in your thread instead of making us think that we have a chance.

Tarantino

You do have a chance...it's called MULTI-REGION PLAYER. They can be had cheap.

edytwinky

Crap, why R2? Why can't they just make some for R1 too?

nodeerforamonth

Region free player. You can find one for about $60 these days, I think.

Look at it like this. When was the last time the WWE has done R2 only releases? To my knowledge, they have never yet so why start now especially seeing that the WWE's biggest market is probably in America. If you ask me I'd expect a release sometime this year in R1.

Class316

Most people here are dreaming of a WM 1-20 box set. Though we'll see how well this one goes through, especially considering

a) Vince's general hatred to releasing past PPVs

and b) the WWF scratch logo in 14-18 (14 was never released on DVD)

SteveOVig

14 wasn't really too bad if I recall. The turnbuckles still had the old logo.

IMO, I don't want a box set because of the price it would cost. I'd prefer a double-feature sort of thing.

Hey does anyone know if this Wrestlemania DVD ever came out,,,I can't find it on any R2 e-tailer sites.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

It seems to me that the WWE should challenge the ruling about the WWF name. I think that if the court ruled that the WWF can no longer use that acronym that Vince and co. must live with it and they have. HOWEVER, I don't think that the WWE should be restricted in releasing their past footage with a WWF logo on it. They are losing hundreds of millions of dollars with this restriction.

I think that the WWE has been diligent about not using the old acronym, but applying this restriction to a 1984 release is a bit ridiculous, IMHO.

Class316

The funny thing is, the WWF block logo still stands in all past footage.

The Valeyard

Someone will probably correct be but I thought Vince was allowed to use the "WWF" for a certain time in a deal with the Wildlife Foundation. He was supposed to stop using "WWF" as the name of the company sometime around the time they created the Scratch Logo. The Wildlife Foundation got pissy and told him to stop. He refused.

So when the Wildlife Foundation sued for them to stop with the "WWF" stuff (and won in the end), the WWE lost the rights to use "WWF" beyond the original agreement. Thus, legally, they can't show the scratch logo because that went beyond the original time limit. The Block Logo is A-OK.

Please correct me if I'm totally off base. That was the way I heard it.

BigDogg

yea i think thats about right andrew

cant wait for these to come out on region 1

Darpy

ok i am a little ignorant here

why did they change the name to WWE?? from this i assume the wildlife fund sued them

but why cant they release past wrestling events??

Class316

yes

They can. But,

1) In general Vince doesn't like the past. Especially if it does nothing to promote the present

2) The WWF scratch logo would have to be censored (but the block logo is ok)

3) whenever someone would say "WWF" that would be censored regardless of what the logo is.

Qui Gon Jim

True, and these are the two things that absolutely puzzle me. I can understand that they should alter it on the packaging and maybe even in the corner of the screen, but if someone says WWF? That is absurd.

Class316

In the 2 disc Rock DVD there are promos what will never see the light of day because he says “WWF” so much. Better get this while you can.

Rypro 525

they don't censor saying wwf! listen to the commentary on the mick foley dvd during the match against HHH, J.R said it at least twice.

Class316

They probably missed it. In the Flair DVD it is.
