Why was the Silvervision partnership ended? Or are Silvervision going out of business?

Andy_rse

Lets just hope they do as Silvervision did and ship the new releases early!

Hopefully free delivery as well (like Silvervision) but i doubt it

The new The Legends of Wrestling: The History of Monday Night Raw is REALLY worth *cough* finding. Probably the best of series - moreso for the unblurred clips of the Attitude Era and the clips in general than the in studio banter.

Fond memories of watching the Ministry tying Stephanie to the symbol and Austin making the save while I was on a school trip to Edinburgh. :P

eh i dunno

Think silvervision might be having a big sale tomorrow at 10am, Something happening at 10 am anyways

Twas very good except for JR's "we fought hard and kicked WCW's ass" every time the mic came to him.

Loved seeing DX's Nation spoof again.

Stereomaniac

I was always supporting the Nation. Could never take to DX back then. Only as an adult do I see their value. But I just thought the Nation Of Domination was even more groundbreaking.

I preferred the Nation as well, but that was probably down to me never being able to take to HHH, even as a face.

Stereomaniac

Well I have always been a mark for the Harts, so I loved when Owen joined up with The Rock.

jaykhunter

+1 for The Nation. Heel Rock is my favourite wrestler of all time. The Nation was much more reserved and cool, as opposed to the frat boys HHH and Co. A random deal but I loved how the nation members had slightly different versions of the same song.

Just watched the new Attitude Era mini-doc.

Really enjoyed it. They mention everything from Brawl For All, to Hardcore division to Tag Team Ladder matches. They admit what stuff failed and how they hated getting brought to court by the Parent's Council.

Best thing though is Mark Henry. The man needs to be a talking head on every DVD they have. His comments on his different Sexual Chocolate segments and the Godfather are some of the best.
'There was one skit where Jacqueline and Terri Runnels sprayed whipped cream over me. If it was my kids I'd be like "Aw jeez. Kids quick go into the other room. Daddy will be there in a minute. As soon as he watches this."'

rovert

Sadly the Attitude Era DVD documentary is really blah. Was hoping for something along the lines of the ECW, newest Austin or CM Punk DVD but it rests on the other end of the scale: short, surface level sound bites over generic stock music. It has a smaller array of talking heads than you would think it would too.

It does have a wide array of footage unblurred - something that will remain a novelty for a good while for me at least.

It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't posted countdown pictures on twitter/facebook for the last few days leading us to believe it was going to be a massive sale. Awful.

I was hoping at least that they would put the Pillman and Mr Perfect DVDs in the sale. 2 DVDS that never seem to come down in price.

is The Streak boxset worth getting for £8.99?

Yeah I would expect that with a Taker DVD.

Chap hasn't broke character on a DVD in years.

Watched the NWO Revolution DVD Yesterday. The doc itself was quiet interesting but could have been longer, as it was only around 1 hour. They could have gone into more detail the deminse of it. Also there wasn't much on the NWO Wolfpac and the NWO Band either.

Disc 2 and 3 were matches. Most of the matches were quiet poor in my opinion, and i never realised how poor a Wrestler Hogan was.

He didn't have to be a great wrestler, as the crowd reacted regardless. Horrible logic, I admit, but if you look at some of Hogan's NJPW stuff, he's well-able to drop plenty of catch-as-catch-can stuff, once the situation called for it. That said, nothing in life quite prepares you for Hogan clocking Muta with an enzuigiri.

Stereomaniac

I would go so far as to say he's in the top 10 overrated human beings (not wrestlers) of all time. I think that is what makes him so unreal though. Kinda classify him with Kiss there.

Anyone pick up much in the other sales? Looking at get the House of Hardcore DVD from RF Video and a few random ECW DVDs.

Stereomaniac

No. I just picked up the Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels blu-ray on Silvervision, it was €15 today.
