Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How were sales for the Raw best of season 1 and 2 DVDs? Â I thought these would have flown of the shelves? Something fans had wanted for a while yet only '93 and '94 sets were released. Â How much of an effect do you think The Network would have had on Silver Vision if it were still around today?

Midnight Zeus Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) The initial release sold really well, but the Tagged Classics re-release not so much. I think most people who wanted it, had it by then, and probably preferred the oversized DVD pack that contained them originally. Â As for the Network, I can only theorise that it would have had a significant impact. A small minority would seek out the full DVD/Blu-ray set after seeing a documentary, but I'm guessing the vast majority would need no more than the Network from here on out. There will still be a market for the physical product for quite some time, but an ever decreasing one.

Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Â This is the DVD I was referring to. At the time Id hoped there would be a run of these covering the Attitude era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2015 I hear from the WWEDVD.co.uk people that things were bad before the Network, let alone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Zeus Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ahh, yes, that sold really well. It was supposed to continue as a series, but then it got canned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think thats also a combination of the quality of product and also that the new company aint that great. Â I bought pretty much every release Silver Vision put out including every PPV. I would put an order through, on a whim, about 5pm and Id get the DVDs next morning. The customer service from you guys was 2nd to none. Silver Vision was always the cheapest place to get DVDs from too. Â The website was a great place to visit too, you could tell the company was run by wrestling fans, thats why people miss it so much.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 ....and great service as they arrived in 2-3 days.I think it was the Randy Savage boxed set that I ordered at about six in the evening, and received the next morning. I can't remember any SV order ever taking more than 2 days to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these are pretty much my memories too. Wish I'd have taken more advantage of the company whilst they were here. Â You don't know what you've got until it's gone eh?

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 I fully realised how great SV were from the first time I used them. It was only because I was between jobs and utterly skint that stopped me going on a buying frenzy when they announced their closure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh1007 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Fantastic thread this. Like everybody else on here I was a massive fan of Silver Vision and must have bought loads over the years. Just a question regarding editing then, I might be talking complete bollocks but was there a problem with something on The Ultimate Ric Flair collection involving a plastic bag that had to be removed? Again, I could be talking complete nonsense but I'm sure I remember reading this somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Brilliant thread, and the service was second to none. I mean were you guys overstaffed at the packaging end, or just uber efficient? Â I remember seeing a couple of the Italian mag/DVDs. First one Was definitely JBL, second was perhaps Big Show. Nice novelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 How did you always get the super-fast delivery? It can't just have been a case of sticking on a first class stamp and crossing your fingers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
