ive given up on buying the 3 disc sets on release - for a start they usually end up unwatched or i watch the documentary an not the matches, and even buying 3 at a time from SV is still £16 - and if i wait a few months they are £7.99

ill still buy them all to keep the collection at 100% but im going to wait from now on.

im hoping they sell best of raw 2010 soon on sale as i have the bluray but what the dvd for collection purposes. i was gutted when i saw Highest Fliers at £8 after what, 3 months of release?

High Flyers was out just before Xmas as I was temtped to get it for then, but yeah I tend to wait now until I fancy that particular set or it's cheap with most unless it's something I really want because I just don't watch them straight away. There was a time when I'd buy most the 3-discers but now a lot seem to crossover which is understandable.

JAPW have a sale on a selection of two dvds $15 for both, $23 including shipping works out just over £14 all together including p&p here is the link don't know which of the dvd's is any good like.

If anyone is interested and doesnt have it yet, cex have a couple of copies of The Best of CM Punk (FIP) DVD for £2.50 delivered. Just grabbed one as ive never seen any FIP stuff.

Silvervision have another amazing sale with Tagged Classics until Monday. Tagged Classic Sale many titles just £6.99 plus 10% off if you buy 3 or more.

I wanted the UK PPV's (Rebellion etc) to go on sale as they looked decent but not worth the full whack and there we go, top stuff.

Got a few gaps in my TCs from ones I didn't want to pay a lot for, so I need to check when I get home!

The reason for asking about the Flair vs Luger match and whether it was shown unedited and in colour (and with the post-match promo intact) was because of a couple of things I have read recently in Power Slam. In issue 199 there was a question about the Chris Jericho DVD which included as part of the response: "The entirely PG-rated WWE is now obligated to censor or tone down content... that now appears on new DVDs... so all current WWE-branded material falls within the PG-rated guidelines."

This was followed in issue 203 with the review of The True Story Of WrestleMania which included the quote: "Footage of a bloody Steve Austin at WM XIII is shown in black and white. Why draw attention to the no-blood rule? Why not omit the footage entirely, if you can't screen it in its original form?"

After reading that and having not seen a 'blood' match on their DVD listings in a while, it just made me wonder what they had done to the Flair vs Luger match (which was quite a bloody match, even by Flair standards) to make it sensitive to the PG-rated guidelines. Although I suppose a few of the matches on the Cage match DVD could have the same question applied to them, it was the Flair vs Luger match that I was most looking forward to revisiting. Anyone received their copy yet?

Ah, right. Well, I haven't received mine yet, but if i do come across anything like that on their DVD's from now on, then I wont be buying them, because that is fucking ridiculous. Especially considering that a lot of these soon to be released titles carry at least a 15 rating, and if the Cage match DVD is cut this way, then it will be completely spoiled, for me anyway, as the vast majority of the matches on this DVD alone all feature blood.

They've been making great DVD sets for a number of years now, and I was wondering how long it would take for them to start fucking them up.

My copy of that Flair-Luger match is in black and white. To be fair, that is because it's a copy of the original VHS release, complete with Macrovision protection.

Never misses a chance, this lad.

Edit.... I've just spoke to a friend of mine who received his copy of the Cage match DVD today, and all matches are in their full-unedited form, with no silly black and white screens. Hooray.

Found that there is finally a local CEX in Norwich (haven't been up there in ages)

So I found myself for £35 (very happy to pay):
King of the DeathMatch Tournament
Heroes of World Class
nWo Back in Black
Undertaker This is my Yard
Hardy Boyz Leap of Faith

There were a few of the Best of Raw 2010 3 disc sets for £15 and a best of smackdown 2009-2010 for 15 also.


Ecw fans there was a delta HeatWave 2000 dvd for 4 quid

That would of been worth picking up for £4 even if flogging on Ebay for a few quid profit.

Ok, so it is not a DVD, but I am don't know of a wrestling merchandise bargain thread, so this will do.

Just seen Foleys Countdown to Lockdown book for £3.99 in The Works.

I really was tempted to do just that, don't know why I didn't to be fair

If nobody has the Heroes of World Class dvd, for £1.50 it's one of the best non-wwe produced documentaries I've watched.

Ring of Honour currently have a five dollar sale on there 2002-2009 DVD range until Tuesday.

Can ROH DVD's be played on UK DVD players? Also how much would the shipping be roughly? Never seen ROH before would be interested to get started and this $5 promotion looks great. Any advice as to what DVD's are good to get first to get started?

Yes, they all play as far as I'm aware. I've got 100+ and never had a problem.

Can't remember the shipping, but you can always check it before confirming the order.

There's a few topics on here if you search about recommended ROH shows.

They would have to pay me to watch that John Cena dvd.

You're not wrong there bud.

I'm one of the old school ECW fans who look at the Delta releases as bonfire material, I avoided them at all costs, and I couldn't believe the prices they are going for now on Ebay, £40 seems to be the norm for the likes of Guilty as Charged 99 and Heatwave 99. Bollocks to that.

To be honest, I'm not one of Cena's biggest fans or supporters, but I'm one of these people who buys all the Superstar / Documentary type DVD's & to be fair to the bloke, Cena always comes across great & 'tolerable' in his documentaries, I enjoyed his one on the last 3 disc set & I hear the documentary on this one is even better, plus, you can't complain at £7.99 for a Blu Ray release too.

And free dog tags!

LOL, that just makes me think of the YouTube Video some American bloke did where he comes out of the store after buying the DVD, sits in his Car, pulls it out the bag & goes completely mental over the Dog Tags, absolutely hilarious!


Dog Tags only come with the DVD though, not something I'll really be sulking about or missing.

Yeah the dog tags only come with the DVD. Quite a tough choice to make really, shall I get the DVD or the Blue Ray, dog tags or two extra matches?! Decisions, decisions! haha

Ha, Ha.

Or, get both, then just flog the DVD for a few quid.Depends on how bad you want the dog tags.

not a cena fan, but that looks a freaking bargain at £7.99 for the bluray. might just pick it up on thursday

If you order on the website now though you get the John Cena headband and wristband set with the bluray. Will that be included for those buying on Thursday as that seems to be a thing only they do, the dog tag thing was done for the DVD in America so for all i know it could be standard here too. With the dog tags it does say they are limited and while stocks last but it says nothing like that for the headband and the wristbands with the bluray.

Says on the Silvervision facebook comments section of Crazy Thursday that the headbands/wristbands wont be with the Blu Ray but the Dog Tags come with the DVD!

That's a little unfair i think. There's probably boxes of the things lying around, why not give them to us on Thursday just like they would to someone ordering at full price before Thursday?

you could always email/facebook them and ask, I actually just looked again there and the guy that responded to the guy who originally asked what you asked was just some randomer, not the guy from silvervision so might be worth sending SV a msg

I'm prob gonna get the DVD, not so excited by the matches, but the Documentary has me intrigued!

I'm not a big fan of wrestling DVDs now. I know a lot of people gave this set rave reviews because of the matches.

Anyone going for the John Cena set tomorrow?

yes sir.

I was thinking of getting a copy for a family member but i'm not sure what to do now. I know in April they were selling the DVD versions at house shows with a signed John Cena card and they never seen it but i did and i know if they had seen it they would have wanted it and this is a cheap price tomorrow. It's for a young person so i can't buy one something and not get the rest anything or it seems like favourtism. I suppose i could put it away for Christmas but it's not the same is it, sometimes it's nice to give a gift but i know myself it's gonna look unfair towards my nephews. I'm sure at 9.59am tomorrow i'll have made my mind up.

I'm not a big Cena fan at all but I did enjoy the documentary part

Sure most people have got it cheap at a supermarket by now, but Sainsbury's has The Wrestler for £3.

about the cena set - silvervision had limited editions for the dvd and bluray, and as far as i gather the bluray limited set sold out, but they have much more dvd versions. the dogtag set isnt the standard set for the uk.

really gutted on the prices - its stopped me from buying wwe dvds on release because they have so many deals and sales - and they wonder why they arent selling.

do people remember years ago when wrestling dvds were never on sale? if you didnt buy 3 at once to get 10% off, you would be looking at £15 for dvds and £12 for videos. it was so rare for cheap deals. now they sell them so cheap, i feel no dvd is worth £18 or bluray £20 odd from them when if i wait they will be half price or even less.

back on deals..

got the cm punk dvd from cex through the door yesterday, very happy for £2.50 a great dvd packed with 4 hours of matches and highlights. although its matches from FIP it also has an excellent IWA-MS career retrospective and 2 ROH matches too.

You seem genuinely disappointed that they are lower in price than they used to be.

I can understand that if they are selling things cheap now that you previously bought at full price, but the way you worded it makes it seem like you were fondly remembering the time where there were no special offers.

One thing with a few people on here, but most often you Stingerslash, is the fixation on buying DVDs on pre-order or immediately after they are released. I don't understand what the rush is to own a ppv that it can't wait 6 months?

Not having a go, just curious what the rush is?

You know what its like being a collector/geek/smark. Plus when you pre-order off Silvervision they typically send out the pre-orders a few days before when they say they will. Also they release there products much sooner than the time the retailers will sell them

so i did order the cena bluray in the end and while i was at it picked up royal rumble 08 for just £6.99, plus yesterday i picked up forever hardcore for £1.50 in cex and royal rumble 09 and the bash 09 in grainger games for £5 each brand new. gives me plenty to watch over the weekend and beyond

On Bret Harts site ATM theres a free autographed of Wrestling With Shadows/Life and Death of Owen Hart when you spend $25

Just seen Silver Visions summer sale and can anybody tell me if The Rise and Fall of WCW and Wrestlings most Powerful families are any good? I much prefer good documentary stuff rather than watching matches so interested as to whether these two are worth getting?

Haven't seen Powerful Families

But Rise and Fall of WCW isn't that great if you want a good documentay as most of the interviews are archive footage from Monday Night Wars and NWO Back in Black. The rest of the documentary is biased towards WWE and avoids discussing what WCW did well. Not a great Documentary but the bonus matches are very good

I thought the families DVD was quite good, and woth the £6.99 or whatever it is that SilverVision want for it. Of course the main families discussed are the Mcmahons, the Harts, and the Von Erichs, so if you already have Hart and Soul, Triumph and Tragedy and Mcmahon, then you won't be seeing anything new, not because the same footage is used, but because those DVD's use new footage, but they go into much more detail as you would imagine.

The WCW DVD is as good as what is out there right now, outside of the Book by Reynolds and Alvarez. There's some good segments with the Crocketts and Mike Graham also, but for guys on it like Kevin Sullivan, they could've used more of the footage of whatever interviews they did with those guys in production of the DVD, because as it is, Sullivan only has a handful of lines and he was behind the scenes for years in that company. It's always going to be the same old story on these DVD's, of WWE re-writing history, so you can't expect anything else. It's definately worth the £10 which SilverVision want for it, though.

If you're not sure about Families (I recommend it though!), get it off eBay. I've used the seller so they're great:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...id=253417796383
