Just a heads up for everyone. ROH is having a 35% off sale this weekend! Some great deals to be had.

CMpunked · 29-08-2008 6:34pm

It was my birthday a few weeks ago and my girlfriend (who despises wrestling

BUT is slowly coming around

) said she was getting me a few suprises.
I didnt know what really to expect.

And i did not expect this at all:

And there was me thinking she never listens to me!

And to make it even cooler, she has watched a few matches with me! :cool:

*edit* Holy crap i didnt expect it to be that big!

Question askeddue to it's vintage and rareness: on DVD, yeah?

Kind of a bittersweet show as it is the very peak of Wrestling in every way before it went off a cliff.

Yep, its a double disc set.

A good deal of extras for back then, the menus look really, really dated!

A nice feature is that they have all the run up to the matches PLUS with the aftermath on raw to do with rock/austin, the birth of Powertrip.
Which is really funny because vince makes an impromptu cage match, something which unfortunately not do able now adays

Yeah, i got this back in 2004 for about £20 sterling on ebay (I think it goes for a good bit more than that now as time has went on). They really loaded it up with extras and made the presentation for X8 look shameful by comparison (Hogan v Warrior at Mania 6? Come on!), Definitely worth every cent.

Here an old episode of Wrestling Observer Live which some may find interesting:

04-2-01 No Guest/Wrestlemania X-7 Review

This is interesting for two reason in the review of the show neither thought it was a great show and Dave Meltzer predicts hard times ahead.

Its a great present in fairness, fair play to her. Would have cost her a good few bob, WM17 fetches a nice price these days on DVD.

Has there ever been any sort of documentary on Edge?

If not this dvd would have to cover a LOT, it would be great if it went back to the beginning of his character with christian.

I believe he was around a few months before Christian debuted stuck in pointless feuds with Marc Mero and Jeff Jarrett.

I wouldn't bet on this, i'd expect them to gloss over the three years he had with Christian, If It's a documentary, they'll go from his debut, brush over the E&C years from 99-01, barely cover No Mercy, Mania 16 and the 2 TLC matches in 2000 and 2001. Go up to 03, spent about 15 minutes alone on his injury and neck surgery, and then spend the guts of it from his comeback in 2004 to present day.

Christian will be left out most likely, due to his association with TNA, despite the fact that WWE own the existing footage. Just like they left out the Angle feud out of the Shawn DVD.

I'll place my bets with a match comp.

Only WWE blu-ray available at the minute is Wrestlemania 24. I'm holding off my WWE release purchases as well, but it doesn't look like they're in a hurry to pass produce blu-ray.

The Austin DVD set is fairly meh to be honest from what i've seen of it.

If you could manage to get Back In Black signed by one of the original 3 it would probably go for upwards of a hundred.

so then you'd be @ a lose so,cause the dvds say 50 and then autograph name your price.
Defo not a great idea to try and make money of that.

Machismo Fan · 02-09-2008 7:24pm

Okay, heres my plan. I go to TNA Bound For Glory with my copy of Back In Black (I already have one and didn't pay those kind of prices) get Nash to sign it at the FanFest and sell it at a later date. Yes, I would still be out of pocket but at least I'd have gotten to see BFG.:)

It's all on it, it fades out and then fades back in with Undertaker (knob-end like him staying in character for an event like that) and then Vince (who knew a lot better and broke character) with the hugs and the raising the arm.
