Just a heads up for anyone here that wants to know, Silvervision's Pre Orders are back to normal again now and everything is fine. Wrestlemania 28 is up for Pre Order (Blu Ray & DVD) and will be released on the website in July.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
So my best buy didn't have any copies of the ECW Blu-Ray (and only 1 dvd copy) so I ordered it from their website. This morning I received a notice that it is backordered! I have plenty in my unwatched pile to keep me busy, however, I must have this on Blu and am starting to get a little nervous. Should I panic, hurry up and hunt down a copy ASAP, or just wait patiently?

WWE Blu-rays in general are a tough find in stores these days...i gave up looking in stores and have been ordering from Amazon since the Best PPV Matches 2011 and always received them day of or day after release.

My Best Buy got 3 copies in of the BD on Tuesday morning. They were all gone by that afternoon. I don't know how many DVD copies there were, but they were all gone even sooner.
You know a title is popular when even Amazon has it on Backorder.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
why did it take them this long to release another ecw dvd?
the others sold great so there is no reason to keep the volumes coming

Not that I don't already have it on like 4 other DVDs, but I don't understand how this set exists without the Cactus Jack-HHH Royal Rumble 2000 Street Fight.

Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing. I collect all of the releases, and with 13/29 matches never being released, I'm pretty happy with the set, but I am shocked that Foley/HHH isn't included, especially since Foley is hosting.

The weekend promotion at WWEShop has a few nicely priced Blu-rays. Elimination Chamber 2011 (combo) $9, Shawn vs. Bret $10, and True Story of Mania $10. http://bit.ly/LxtP5z

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
what do you guys do for stacking your dvds, alot of my dvds got "warped" but sticking them in a closet in a box tightly together, hindsight it was stupid
but i noticed some are messed up on the covers, small cracks on the back, what do you think the best option is

Maybe they chose not to repeat it on this set because as you stated, it has been shown or released multiple times. Just trying to help the guy find the match he wants is all. Chill dude.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
Good news but it's too bad they couldn't have done this a long time ago...
PWInsider.com has confirmed that WWE has acquired the Watts video library consisting of Mid-South Wrestling, Mid-South's Power Pro Wrestling TV and the original Universal Wrestling Federation. Unlike most libraries, there were a number of complete house shows from the 1980s that were filmed and maintained along with the TV footage, allowing WWE access to lots of rare footage that can repurpose for their properties.
The library, which was owned by Bill Watt's ex-wife Ene as part of a divorce settlement, was the largest known video collection now owned by WWE. There had been numerous meetings and attempts to purchase the library by WWE but the two sides had been unable to come to terms. With the Network planned to launch later this year, WWE wanted the additional material in their archives. WWE will officially take possession of the library this week.
One WWE source noted that there are already discussions internally to do a DVD documentary on the promotion as well as full fledged DVDs on Ted DiBiase, Junkyard Dog and Hacksaw Duggan, all of whom were major stars for the territory.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
But I have a question that hopefully someone can answer for me...does the WWE hold the rights to the entire AWA and now UWF libraries, as I've heard that some AWA and UWF shows are still airing on ESPN Classics, so would they also buy out the remaining allotment of those film libraries to officially make them complete or does ESPN Classic have a separate deal with these two promotions to air these shows in latenight timeslots? Just wondering.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
The UWF on Espn isn't the same as the Bill Watts one just bought by WWE. I can't post links but Google "Herb Abrams UWF".
Basically Bill Watts never trademarked UWF so someone else just came along and used it.
