"Beautiful positioning there by our official, who's been making great calls all night." He tried to explain why he was making some of the calls he made. It's interesting to hear Monsoon calling the stuff from the 70s. He takes an almost reverent tone with it, like the way JR does with the matches from the same era on the Best Of Madison Garden Bluray. The whole tape/program is a very interesting watch. I've also cracked through UK Rampage '93 and European Rampage '92. Most of the 93 one is very phoned in, but JR & Heenan save it with some hilarious commentary. European Rampage '92 seems to have a bit more effort, although it also has LOD Vs Dino Bravo & Col.Mustafa.
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2018 Anyone got any favourite matches from old PPVs where the full versions are on the Network having been hacked up on the Silvervision tapes? I've really enjoyed, so far, Boss Man vs Barbar from Rumble 91, Rockers vs Barbar and Haku from Mania VII and Smithers vs Warlord from the same show which I'm sure I've waxed lyrical about before. Anything else I shouldn't miss in the same vein?
Paid Members JNLister Posted February 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2018 Completely the opposite, but Roberts-DiBase from WrestleMania VI. They have a 'methodical' match, then the crowd starts doing the wave, so DiBiase decides "so what if it's the biggest show of the year, we're sitting in a chinlock till the crowd tire themselves out."
Paid Members BigJag Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 20, 2018 Air raids post reminded me that, it has always been important for me to have the live versions of the ppvs. I'm always dismayed and annoyed when watching stuff back on the network and they've messed with the order or music. They even go so far as to use different camera angles at times. That usually adds to the show. I've got loads of VHS tapes full of live versions of mostly WWF events. Really need to get on with converting them to DVD/digital.
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 20, 2018 Tell the truth ; its dubbing over Edge's Rob Zombie music that hurts the most.
FUM Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 The music dubbing seems pretty random. Been watching some 2001 and one week on SmackDown X-Factor's Uncle Kracker music plays, then on RAW it's dubbed over. And this continues throughout the year with it sometimes dubbed and sometimes not.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 20, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 20, 2018 That WM7 opener might be the most underappreciated match in WWE history. It's a corker. Not sure whether it being edited or having to listen to Jim Duggan is why it took me a while to love it.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Still no Thunder or Saturday Night? @kidzero will not be amused
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted March 5, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2018 I hate the overdubbing of music. It turns me right off the program. One Night Stand 2005 is horrific for it (I still go to my Bell ExpressVu TVRIP in grainy quality for that reason) as is most ECW stuff. In saying that, the dubbing on the Delta ECW DVDs was bonkers. For example, on one DVD it'd be grand ; you'd have Natural Born Killaz playing during New Jacks' entrance and on a different DVD, when New Jack came out, it was an elevator music version of said song over the top of it. Same with 'Walk', 'Enter Sandman', 'Big Balls' et al. In fairness, at least their sound department made the effort in having a crack at the melodies.
