Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
finished watching the ecw dvd
they did seem to edit alot of cursing, there is even a part where they don't even show the sandman shoving his "stuff" into rhino's face on top of the turnbuckle, and some of the crowd chants seem off
i have the original dreamer/credible ecw tnn match, and they used a different camera angle for this dvd, and the cursing is all edited, credible swearing was not all muted on the original broadcast but it is on this dvd, in fact i believe all cursing and "edgy" crowd chants are edited
it sucks, why not make it tv ma like bloodsport, i believe that dvd is mostly uncensored if i remember correctly
also anybody that has the original "3 way dance" that is a blu ray extra, at the end of the match it goes off and comes back saying "several minutes of this match are missing" then it proceeds to the final 30 sec, is this the way the original was as well

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
don't get why blu rays are not catching on, they are now cheap to get, and shocked that so many still haven't accepted them
plus dvds suffer disc rot, blu rays are not only better picture, but last longer, more extras, better menu's

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
The compilation sets seem to be selling just fine because every set since July of last year has been released on BD. It's the Pay-Per-Views that struggle because the casual viewer doesn't see the value in spending $20-25 on sub-par PPVs. I have to agree with them because the last 2 PPVs to be released that wasn't one of the big 4 was Extreme Rules 2011 & Over the Limit 2011 and that show was just awful aside from Christian/Orton. If they had started with Money in the Bank 2011, I think sales trends would have been a lot different.
The most I can hope for is that WWE decides to backtrack and possibly release the 2008-2012 PPVs that never made it to BD, as WWEShop Exclusives or some sort of "HD Collection" kind of like the older "Attitude Collection" they did in 2001 & 2002 before they changed over to WWE and stopped.

Speaking of shop exclusives, looks like TNA are selling DVDs not available in stores on their website. I noticed Twin Pack Vol. 6 and Genesis 2012 were available for a while and they just released Lockdown 2012 and Twin Pack Vol. 7. I just bought those four from ebay seller A-Merchandise.
ShopTNA shipping to Canada really kills the deal with $15 for 1 DVD, plus they use UPS so brokerage fees also applies so it would cost like $40-$45 in the end for one DVD converted to CDN dollars.

WWE releasing the PPVs on Blu-ray as WWE Shop exclusives would be a good start.

The Chicago Tribune saw CM Punk at (former Cub) Kerry Wood's charity event last week and asked him about his DVD...
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...ation-wwe-diva
This is your life: CM Punk calls himself the best wrestler in the ring and on the mic, so it’s not surprising that he feels he has the best WWE DVD as well. The Lockport native said his straight-to-DVD, which will be released some time in October, is better than the ones WWE made for John Cena, Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho.
“Obviously, I’m biased,” Punk said at 10pin, “but I think mine is the best. Mine starts way different than anyone else’s and ends way different than anyone else’s.”
The DVD film not only features interviews with fellow wrestlers Cena and Triple H, but also some of Punk’s close friends, including indie wrestler Colt Cabana and Rancid band member Lars Frederiksen.
“Honestly, it was like watching my life flash before my eyes,” Punk said. “They used a lot of footage from my early days. Just seeing the whole package put together with people I respect in the industry and have known my whole life talking about me, it seemed weird. It felt like I was at my own funeral. You get a perspective of where I come from, how hard I’ve worked and where I’m at now. It blew me away. There were a couple moments where I was like ‘Wow, this is really touching.’”

That would take a lot of time, easiest thing to do would be to go to WWEDVDNews.com and click on the WWE DVD Releases, then google each set to see which ones have Undertaker Wrestlemania Matches. There's at least 30-50 or so sets with Undertaker matches from Mania

I wont be buying it. What a wasted opportunity. ECW wasn't just about the wrestling. It was also about the "rock n roll" atmosphere that the fans provided during those live matches. If the wwe is trying to market ECW as tv-14 crap, they wont get my money.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
I won't be buying the recent ECW release either. I understand them changing theme songs. I don't like that at all but I understand the royalty issue. However, there is no excuse for editing out the language. That isn't going to cost them anymore money to include it. There's also that issue of The Rise And Fall Of ECW, one of their best selling releases, being a TV-MA release and not editing out language.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XIII
ya the past ecw dvds are tv-ma, guess they really are over sensitive and purely "pg"
there was alot of swearing of rise and fall, not bleeped, they even showed the entire sabu/funk barb wire no rope match on bloodsport

Those who read this thread may have already heard about the new Brock Lesnar title coming out before the end of 2012, which I'm personally looking forward to. I have the old 1-disc release, but I'll definitely get the new one!

Could have grabbed the Undertaker 20-0 set today at FYE but the dvd was $30 and the blu was $40. Not worth it to get it early...I'll wait and grab it from Amazon.
