Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XII
Looks like we're not gonna get TNA's last two PPV's of 2009, Turning Point & Final Resolution. Unless they bundle the two in a Cross The Line style double pack which would be sweet. The next TNA releases are set for Best of 2009 which has the 2 best matches from the show, and Genesis PPV from 1/10.
Kinda disappointed they're breaking the streak. I'm glad they gave up on the specialty releases, but damn, keep up with at least ONE monthly release of the previous month's ppv.

TNA wanted to release Genesis individually because it was the TNA ppv debut of Hulk Hogan and was headlined by the Styles/Angles main event. They wanted it to be "just another ppv," which is what the two other cross the line sets consisted of.

Looks like the Royal Rumble 2010 Blu-ray may be for Canada only. There used to be a link on Amazon's US site for it as well, but it has since been removed.

Amazon.ca has two versions up for preorder; Canadian and US Import.
I think it was removed from .COM because maybe they ran out of preorders which is pretty doubtful though.

Does anyone know if the Royal Rumble Blu-ray will mirror the release from Silvervision? It would be nice to have the Raw and SmackDown prior to the Royal Rumble event.

RAW and SD had couple good matches each; DX vs. Legacy, Cena vs. Sheamus, CM Punk vs. HHH and Rey Mysterio vs. Shawn Michaels.
I think it will be the same as the North American release.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XII
Might sound petty but I won't be picking up the Raw 09 title because there is no Blu Ray release. Raw in 2009 wasn't exactly spectacular, but a rundown of moments in HD seemed appealing and worth a purchase to add to the collection. For me, it's getting harder and harder to justify buying WWE DVDs when their footage was originally shot in HD. So it's a pass on PPVs right now and releases like this one. The next will be Rumble 2010.

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XII
Has it been fully confirmed that the Best of RAW DVD is 4:3 only? Because the PPV DVDs are all 16:9. Has anyone messed around with the settings on their DVD players, because i was gonna get this for the one steamboat match, the 10 man tag, but its a turnoff in full frame

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XII
Now in something actually related to the topic of this forum... where is my Ricky Steamboat DVD? I remember hearing talk of one back when he was going in the Hall of Fame, was that just rumor or was something delayed? Had my hopes up. I guess we're slowly getting the equivalent though through other releases. Matches on Flair's DVD's, Jake's DVD, Bret's DVD, Savage's DVD.

If that wasn't an issue i'm sure he would have gotten a DVD after he was inducted in the HOF last year.

As for the UFC talk on here, UFC is as pre-determined as WWE or TNA is. Just that Dana White guy yet hasn't said anything. Vince McMahon only said it was 'fake' in the 80's to get out of paying a tax on sporting events, I believe. Dana White hasn't done that yet, so I guess he is okay with paying the tax. Plus, wrestling is at least entertaining, where as UFC is just 2 guys laying down on each other, rolling around on a mat. Not that exciting.
As for the Ricky Steamboat talk, interesting thing I noticed the other day. There was a line of wrestling figures that came out a few years back that weren't made by Jakks, and it was something like "Legends of the Ring" or something. Anyways, there was two Ricky Steamboat figures. One with blood splattered on it, and the other was just normal. So I don't understand how they can be made when WWE has had such a hard time having a Steamboat dvd, and how Jakks had such a hard time doing a WWE figure. Maybe the problem lies with Bonnie and the WWE, not Bonnie and pro wrestling.

Also I don't think that he would have been inducted into the Hall of Fame if there were issues regarding his name. I recall once reading from someone (who may have turned down a HOF offer) that there were issues about the name ownership aspect of the contract.
I think that they will get around to a Steamboat set one day and after all they don't want to put out all of the must have sets in a year becuase what will they put out in the future!
There was also a listing once in the www magazine for a Jimmy Snuka set which got replaced with a stars of the 90s.

Essentially, you've admitted to trolling and added what amounts to a personal attack.
For this I've suspended your posting privileges.
Should you wish to return next month, you can email me with your assurances that you wish to contribute as a productive member rather than, say, someone doing a very good impersonation of a PITA.
If, in the meantime, you return as dg4 (edit: or "BugsyB" ) or whatever, your accounts will be BANNED.

Somebody mentioned a Snuka DVD getting pulled. That's too bad, it would be nice to have more than just the cage match available.

As for the Royal Rumble Blu-ray, looks like we will also get the 2 disc version like in UK with RAW and SD shows before the ppv, according to HMV.ca;

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XII
Found out yesterday Survivor Series 2009 Blu Ray in the UK was pulled, was news to me, I had it pre-ordered on Amazon. Silver Vision's Twitter confirmed it.
The RAW 09 Canadian Blu being dropped and now this, a little frustrating!

Re: Official Wrestling DVD Discussion Thread - Volume XII
Anyone got the Highspots 4-disc Ric Flair shoot? I know the reviews are lackluster, and his chew/spit is prevalent for the majority of the hours, as a huge Flair fan it seems like a great novelty to own even with all it's negatives. The packaging is top notch, like aWWE release and looks to be put together excellently, not like some dvd-r and a photocopy cover.
The fact is, it's a what, 10-12 hour interview, an in depth, uncensored career retrospective of the greatest wrestler ever.. told by him. I'm most likely gonna get it, just wanted to know what you guys thought of it.
Other shoots I'm looking at grabbing-RF"s Ken Anderson, RF's Billy Jack Haynes, RF Harris Bros, RF Kurt Angle (for the same reason as Flair).
Note I've never ordered a thing from RF, but with their 20% off sale I'll probably take advantage with at least one or two dvds.

I have the Flair shoot but haven't watched it yet due to the length. Spending 10-12 hours on a single subject is hard on my attention span. I've heard nothing but good things about it though.
As for the other shoots, I've got the Anderson and Angle shoots. Both are pretty good. I've heard that the Billy Jack Haynes shoot is worth watching simply due to his apparent insanity.

Also the fourth disc is just clipps of other topics cutout of the other discs. Also I think when some quite important topics are discussed he has no memories.
Overall it was fine but could have been much better (mainly his fault I think... then he screwed them over).
