My friend just grabbed the steelbook for me and I couldn't believe there was no mail in rebate for it. I thought the store was ripping him off, but thanks to this thread I now know they didn't.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
I picked up WM 25 at the nearest K-mart. They had 6 of them and I was the only person today to buy any. I guess nobody shops there anymore. The price for it was a reasonable $19.99. I really would not have paid another penny. Especially at that price considering all the negatives reviews I read. Anyway good luck to all of you trying to find it any cheaper. I'm also really looking forward to that Macho Man DVD set!

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
Hey has anyone checked Best Buy for any possible WM XXV exclusives? I remember last year there was no mention in their ad about anything special for WM XXIV but someone here then discovered they actually had the exclusive release with senitype from WM XIV. Anyone seen what Best Buy has for WM XXV if anything?
Also how much have you guys been paying for the Wal-Mart Exclusive version? (packaged with mini WWE Encyclepedia) It's listed at a whooping $29.94 on their website. I was hoping for more like $19.99 or something. I want this version as well but not for that price.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
Watching WM DVD right now and noticed they edited the camera angles for the botched Killswitch and Powerbomb during MITB (not surprised). Also something strange that I didn't notice when I saw 'Mania in person during MITB was the refs at ringside during that match were wearing latex gloves. Anyone know why?

I just started watching the DVD and it looks like they edited out Kid Rock. No big loss. I didn't notice the new angles on MITB. Wonder what other changes they made?

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
Actually it was just the Killswitch they changed camera angles on for the DVD. I was wrong about the powerbomb. Any mention of Kid Rock was edited out also. During Matt vs Jeff, Lawler mentioned the trash can resembling Kid Rock's bass drum instead we just hear awkward silence.
Even though I know it's going to be edited I am still going to be dissapointed when they edit the camera angles when Cena wins the WHC with all the anti-Cena signs behind him when he gets the belt.

I'm actually quite relieved that they edited out Kid Rock. I was not looking forward to watching his ten-minute medley again.

I am fine with them taking Kid Rock out, too. I wish he hadn't even been there in the first place. It does suck that the only semblance of any kind of entrance the divas got was cut along with it, though.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
I saw something interesting at FYE when I went there to pick up the WM Steelbook. Among their wrestling DVDs, I saw a used copy of one called Sting: The Movie, which apparently is a movie about Steve Borden's life. I passed because the disc was rattling around loose in the case, but it was only 7 or 8 bucks. Does anyone know anything about this film? Is it any good? Would it be worth picking up for ~$8 used?

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
can't stand these edits, on the ladder match dvd the mercury blood shot was unedited
the PG era is trickling into the dvds as well, which i dont understand, dvds should be there own, thats the joy of them, to relive past attitude days and such

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
The PG Era is a crock and will do nothing except sell Jeff Hardy and John Cena merch to little kids... I am pretty bored with pro wrestling at the moment, partly due to the huge letdown that was Wrestlemania 25. I'll still pick up shoot interview dvds here and there and the old school releases. but for the most part I am calling it quits. Thanks Vince!
Macho Man might be the last wrestling DVD I ever buy.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
DiedLaughing im totally with you, besides hbk/taker mania was a HUGE letdown, wwe only cares now about selling cena t-shirts and what not, compared to the late 90s its a joke, sorry but its a fact
but 1 thing i have to get off my chest, this is my rant for the day lol, is how wwe rewrites there own history on certain people, if they like you they give you royal treatment, if not they bash you
take ric flair, they give the guy a royal sendoff, dvds, etc, everything, they ignore all the negatives about his career
in wcw great young talent such as stone cold, hall, etc were run out of there because flair had his buddies running the show, flair was never a big draw, he had no psychology in the ring, im sorry but its true, overall the guy is overrated
but flair sucks up to hunter and shawn and plays the politics right and gets the royal treatment, so on the dvds he gets the royal treatment and ignores the facts so lots of new age fans get altered history
i mean pete rose is in the hall of fame, and macho man isnt, doesn't that tell you something?

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
-if he was such a huge draw how come wcw never drew big until hogan/nash/hall came in, whats your excuse for that one lol
-he was big in nwa cause wrestling was not what it is now, the south's only option back then was nwa, wrestling fans only had small options back then, once wrestling became big during the attitude days flair was put on the backburner
-how is he a great all around pro wrestler, his matches are mirror images of eachother, he has no psychology, most of the stuff he did never made sense, he was sloppy in the ring, he put me to sleep most of his matches
im not saying he was the worst wrestler ever, but he is highly overrated, give me hbk/hart/benoit/eddie/savage matches over flair any day of the week
and flair likes to say he paved the way and younger talent needs to respect him, i always thought when your the best and deserve respect you don't need to say it, if you need to say it every interview you do it probably means your not right, i just get a little sick of hearing him rant all the time about how he is the best and people need to respect him, sounds like he has a huge ego and insecure
and like i said flair had his buddies running the show in wcw when he first went there, at that time great young talent like stone cold and pillman got pushed to the side cause flair and his friends wanted the spotlight to himself, that whole group running the show only pushed there own family and friends and not deserving talent, which is why stone cold left for bigger and better things cause good old flair wanted the spotlight and 14 times champ to himself, but yet still claims he paved the way, ya he paved the way for himself and his friends and family, took all he got from it and gave the young guys nothing

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume X
you would think someone who obsessed over the sales of the Starrcade DVD as if they were votes in a presidential election would comprehend that Ric Flair made that event (among many others) what it was.
