Daaaaaad! Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/10-p...lemania-venues/ Â Posting this before anyone else does. It means nothing but Wembley is included - then again, so is the Beijing Olympic Stadium and that one somewhere that's shaped like a dragon.

KingOfMetal Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Rather interesting and surprising piece of news. "The next tape library that WWE is looking to acquire is the UK "World of Sport" library, which is owned by ITV. Several matches from the World of Sport library will be featured on Bret Hart's upcoming "Dungeon Collection" DVD set, due out March 5th."  Wrestling Observer Newsletter.  @RealKingRegal have read the @WWE has made enquiries about purchasing the World Of Sport library from ITV. Could be interesting  @NMTKOM I was told on here that I said they have on twitter but I didn't.It would be great if they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted February 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 It's a bit of an overblown story. The Observer actually simply said "Regal mentioned something on Twitter about WWE looking to get the World of Sport (U.K.) video library. ITV owns it, not any specific retired promoters, so it won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I was just interested on what Regal would make of it. Regal has got back to me a few times on twitter. I once listed a bunch of drugs he'd been suspected of taking and asked if there was anything he hadn't taken, and got a the answer "asperin, as it affects my delicate stomach" Its nnice to see he does occasionally take time to answer people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frantic Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Was going to leave posting another Attack Pro wrestling video after the last but this just got uploaded and I feel it should be seen by as many people as possible.

TheShowOff Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 John Chapman (who's operating at WOS.TV) has some sort of deal licensing the footage to sell through iTunes, so the library isn't available to buy outright at the moment anyway.

Â The guy who got sued using the AWA name? Does he own the rights then? Â Was that the ill-fated AWA:UK from a few years back which died after one taping? Â John Chapman ran three AWA:UK shows. The first two actually weren't bad, the last was a bit of a disaster, though. Chapman was unfortunate to be a classic example of a good bloke who was taken advantage of by a bunch of cunts in the wrestling industry. Â The guy who ended being threatened with a lawsuit, though, was the guy who tried to resurrect AWA:UK - Jamie something, an idiot who also ran TBW.

Loki Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 they contacted Marty Jones asking if he knew how they could get a match he had with Bret) but couldn't sort it out in time. Â Do you think, when he picked up the phone and heard a voice saying "Hey, it's Bill from the WWE", for a second he thought "Hall Of Fame?" No, no, just interested in an old match...

Â If I was a retired wrestler it would be my first thought. Marty Jones was a class worker. He'd be great for the Hall of Fame if WWE ever did start showing WoS footage and wanted to stick in an "elite level worker" type to put in with the big names, although realistically I expect even if they did start acknowledging British wrestling he'd be quite a way down the list of the few names they'd stick inc (look at all the big territorial names not in there). Now the Observer Hall of Fame... maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 16, 2013 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2013 Wasn't Vince McMahon Sr a fan of Marty? I'm sure I read once that he brought Marty over to America for a couple of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
