Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume 3
 

Volume 3 of the Wrestling DVD thread.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Wrestling DVD Release List (needs updating)


Repeating the previous rules:

The thread is to have a discussion on all wrestling DVD related topics.

There is another thread, which I have to update, that has the upcoming DVD releases.

For weekly wrestling discussion, you can go to the Sports forum at DVDTalk, where MovieExchange keeps a very nice weekly thread with all the news pertaining to pro wrestling. He even has Pay Per View contest!

Don't post active ebay auctions. Don't talk about bootlegs. Don't threadcrap. And please keep general wrestling discussion on the Sport section of DVDTalk.



Let the talking begin....

I'm sure this has been talked to death.....but when damn it can we get the Summerslam box set!!

The last I heard, that set was delayed because of the Benoit death and how his footage would have been handled.

Everyone can breathe easy...all's right in the world. The HBK dvd will be 3 discs and the cena/hbk raw 1hr match will be included as well.

So just wanted to double check and make sure nobody found the unfogiven blockbuster exclusive being sold? I read the other thread talking about from summerslam on, they will rent the WWE's only.

Want to make sure before I spend the 24.99 to rent and purchase them!

Thanks so much
Shane

Here you go bro, no sealed Unforgiven 2007 DVD being sold on Blockbuster Video as of this writing, which is also the same as Summerslam 2007

Are the Summerslam and Unforgiven unavailable to order as well? Has anyone tried that?

Well I called and asked some questions about purchasing them, and the dude seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about. Maybe you guys can confirm?

First of all, I have the 2 rentals out at a time pass, and I want to use that to get Summerslam and Unforgiven. (That why I don't have to add the rental fees to the price tag.) He said okay. Then I said I would want to purchase them. He said I would have to wait the 7 days then my card would be charged $24.99. Okay, so I asked him if I could rent them and then at that time I could just pay for the discs. This way I don't have to lose a week of swapping out rentals. He told me that recently they changed the system and you automatically have to wait the 7 days, they can't do it same time. Does anybody know if this is true?

Getting these for $25 each is not bad at all. Only 5 bucks more than normal.

Thanks for any help,
Shane

If you are a Blockbuster Online member, there is an option to buy the titles for $16.99. You can even add the Bonus Disc version. But the cover art is the regular. I'm not going to keep a rental, and I need Slam any way. I'll give it a go this weekend and we'll see what I get in the mail. I honestly don't see them having regular versions that they keep just for online sales in the warehouses, and used for nothing else.

Let us know what you end up getting.

BTW what are the Match(es) on the Unforgiven Blockbuster Bonus Disc?

Not sure if they were ever listed or not.

theres no matches, its just the segment with the Hornswaggle adoption and the Teddy Long/Kristal wedding.

i was hoping they would have include CM Punk's title win over Morrison.

The Victory Road 2007 DVD will be released on 11/4 as an FYE exclusive.

No Matches that is just sad.

Is the Teddy Long Wedding the whole entire wedding including the Godfather coming down to the ring? (I did miss that episode of Smackdown and heard it was good)

I happen to have all three on dvd, but Amazon does have it for only $22.49, not bad for all the content your getting. Too bad November Reign is still missing the Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley vs. Terry Funk & Sabu Main event.

As of this week, The Condemned sold a total of 142,492 DVD’s since its release. Of that total, The Widescreen version sold 100,818 copies while the Full-Screen version sold 36,898 copies. The Blu-Ray version only sold 4,776 copies.

Why is that match missing from the dvd? Did it never happen or is just being omitted? I'm not familiar with these events. What’s the story there?

TNA does not allow their wrestlers to appear on nationally released dvds (other than TNA dvds...)

Theres a DVD-R version of the event on highspots.com that has the complete event including that match.

i just finished watching the new RF Video Shoot with Kevin Nash, and it was really good. i also got the new Demolition shoot and Scott Hall shoot.

any one else watch shoot interviews??

I'm a big fan of shoot interviews... I mainly pick up anything with RAVEN from RFVideo. I am really looking forward to the new shoot with Honky Tonk Man, New Jack and Iron Sheik all together.

If TNA won't allow there talent then why is Raven still listed?

I don't think Raven had a contract with TNA at that moment.

According to the Best buy ad, The Rey Mysterio Ultimate Fan Edition will include the following....

Rey Mysterio 3Disc Dvd (ad shows yellow or cream color mask)
