Yes, you're all right. Let's make each set that's put out 10 exhaustive discs that most people won't pay for and stores won't carry.
Brilliant.
If they don't turn a profit on their DVDs, their not putting any out.
We've gotten a TON of stuff, and none of it's ever gonna be perfect.

I just happen to notice not only the trend, but people reacting to the trend. Yes, the documentaries on The Rock and Stone Cold were great, but the match listings were pretty bad. You advertise 2, 3, 4 discs, you should deliver on all of them. The match listings were either small, repeated, or both. The content for the new Edge DVD is NOTHING but repeats. The Clash DVD happens to be the latest disappointment.
It does appear that WWE is gearing their content choices to a whole new generation of wrestling that they assume has never seen anything from before, say, 2007. I've noticed that the match choices are really obvious, lacking gems or unknown TV matches, and skimping pretty heavily. A lot of people have noticed it.
Trust me, as someone really eager to buy the next WWE DVD, I'm not looking for excuses to not add to my collection, but I'm only going to do it if it's worth it.
I'm not taking your comments personally, I just think there is a reason behind the grievances. To me, the SECOND televised match between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan would be an ideal match for a COTC set, especially given that they're probably not going to release another set on Hogan and/or Flair anytime soon.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
I have every Clash of the Champions show already, and I watched them a lot. And I know some of the matches they picked for the WWE Clash dvd is just so mind boggling.
Ivan Koloff vs. Ricky Morton for one.
The Freebirds vs. Z-Man and Young Pistols is the other. That match opened up the Clash as the opening match and lasted 5 minutes or so. Nothing special at all.
Cactus Jack vs. Mil Mascaras is a horrible match!! Even Cactus says that in his first book he wrote.
I just feel like way too many important matches or moments which happened on the Clash events got over looked, because some idiot who isn't familiar with the Clash of the Champions, just picked out names he knew or that he knew the WWE fans would know, so he used those matches.
Well done WWE, well done....

I don't have any of the matches on other sets, other than one.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
Nigel McGuinness is seeking funding to produce a documentary about his career.
With a minimum donation of $30 he'll send you a finished copy of the documentary on DVD when it's finished in July:

Over six weeks, at the end of 2011, I completed my retirement tour. I have over sixty hours of footage that I either shot myself or with the help of whatever friend or stranger I could find. It was not ideal - not like I'd hoped or imagined - but then neither was my career.
What is was, however, was an intimate and heartfelt insight into the industry I spent my life pursuing and the final step of my childhood dream as I traveled the world on my journey. Part documentary, part shoot DVD, you will see the amazing characters I met along the way and the emotional journey I took.
Most of us who were professional wrestlers never made it to the heights of fame and fortune in WWE. For us, the world of independent professional wrestling was our life. Away from the lights and TV cameras, away from sports entertainment, it is our piece of the dream we all had when we were fans, shared with the fans that get it. And this is one of our stories.
Moving on from wrestling is the toughest decision I have ever had to make. I am looking to get the funding, not only to make the documentary, but also to learn the skills to be able to explore other avenues beyond the ring in the future.
More than this though, I think it's a story everyone will enjoy and learn from. I know I did.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
The Delta releases are uncensored, but most theme music are dubbed. They are region free, but in PAL format so you would still need a region free DVD player and your TV and/or DVD player would have to convert to NTSC. The picture quality is VHS quality since they are just transfers with chapters and extras added
Last year i found a seller on craigslist in Toronto selling majority of his ECW Delta releases. I bought 10 of them, with 3 actually still factory sealed; Living Dangerously 2000, Anarchy Rulz 2000 and Massacre on 34th Street, total of $100. The other 7 DVDs were also in mint condition.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
I made a very nice discovery today: I picked up the keepcase version of "The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane," something I always wanted.
I remember when this set was announced, I was really excited, because I'm a fan of Kane and I loved the match listing. To me, it's the perfect combination of old classics and unexpected TV gems, which not a lot of sets incorporate.
But when it was released, I was disappointed to see it was packaged in cheap cardboard, that, according to everyone, scratched up the discs. I'm very ocd about packaging, so despite wanting the set, I didn't buy it.
Then I heard about how Walmart had released it in a keepcase, and I was excited. Only problem is, I'm nowhere near a Walmart. Not even close. Nor did I see any listing for it on ebay.
But today, somehow I found it brand new at FYE for $6.99, and I couldn't be happier.
I don't own the first two UT/Kane matches, so that's enough for me. But the first match against Mankind, the Chain match and Title vs. Title match against Triple H, the cage match against RVD, BOTH matches against Shane (the Ambulance is a favorite), his first match against HBK, the two gimmick matches against Edge from their 2005 feud, a TV match against Umaga, his first match against Booker T, and often forgotten champion vs. champion match from 2008 against Undertaker.
This is an awesome set, and between finding the version I wanted, brand new, in good condition, for $7, I'm ridiculously excited.
