MVP RULZ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 One quick question about tagged classics why was In Your house 13 and 16 packaged together? when all he other IYH releases are in order 1-2, 3-4 etc  And sorry for another question when it came to releases on blu-ray who made the call to release them or not?  I know originally it was just Wrestlemania then Rumble, Mania and Summerslam on Blu-ray but in 2010 Hell in a Cell, Bragging Rights and Survivor series were released on Bluray but TLC was only DVD then the following 4 events to begin 2011 were released on Blu ray before Over the Limit, Capitol Punishment and Money in the Bank were strtctly DVD, the ppvs from then on were always released on both  Not really a big issue of course just I always got the bluray versions and it just looks odd in my collection and wondered why those 4 events were not on Bluray, especially Money in the Bank 2011 I'd of thought that would of been a great seller.

Midnight Zeus Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Initially the Tagged Classics range was only going to be a select few, and we wanted to make sure we got some of the best IYH events out there. They sold well so we decided to release the lot, where we could. Â I'm pretty sure it was WWE who made the decision about what Blu-rays were to be released and later one we decided to release the lot where they may not have. That might all be tosh, my memory is a bit vague on that part - sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratedrpoed Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Silvevision was brilliant. DVD's that came super quick, were very reasonable and there was always plenty of offers. A shame theory ended their relationship with WWE. Silvervision is responsible for at least half the DVD's in my collection. Â This. Silvervision was quality full stop. Got lots of bargains on there.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) With the Blu-rays, we asked to do every A-level PPV. Producing a Blu-ray in those early days for CV was painfully expensive. The authoring software + hardware cost hundreds of thousands, creating a master was absurdly overpriced. So each time we had to turn a profit. WWE took a while to get their US production line in order so we got the jump on THEM and more or less release what we want. Once they'd figured out their chain, they called the shots on which titles were released in HD. Â They could then create the master and save CV thousands.

Paid Members bbabba Posted February 26, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2015 I remember those last days of the website. Â It was so sad, watching the list of available titles get smaller and smaller, not knowing exactly when it was all going to end. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Dem Wanz Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It was the best day of the year* back in 2006, 2007 and 2008 when I would get home from school on a hot June day with the Wrestlemania DVD I'd pre ordered months earlier waiting for me.

Harry Wiseau Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hulk Hogan Real American was the first release. I remember hassling my folks to buy me this at Video Action in Kingstanding, then when they got the Warrior one in I got it for my dad as a Father's Day present, what a kind son I was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
