@realMickFoley: Just wrapped up two days of interviews for my DVD. Lots of cool extras, rare matches. Maybe some added commentary with me and @JoeyStyles ?
Then, when asked by a fan if The Rock would be making an appearance on the set, Mick responded:
@realMickFoley: Yeah – I was able to ask for many specific wrestlers – both past and present to be part of the DVD. Eclectic blend of cats.

My biggest gripe with this sytesm is the Wi-Fi does not work properly. I constantly have to reboot either the Blu-ray player or the modem or both, to watch internet sites like krackle or Netflix. The other problem is the sytesm freezes when it tries to update itself. On the Sony website their solution is to unplug the sytesm and reboot it, tried that multiple times it did not work. I am returning it this weekend, to trade it in on another brand.
Hey. The Malaysian version of the Night of Champions 2012 Cover is stolen from me. I’m the one who did it. I have proof. I have the PSD file. I have published the cover in Deviantart.com WCF.com, Google+ too. So I think someone downloaded the cover from one of those sites & used as their cover. They have edited out my logo & few other things on the cover. I want justice.
This is the one I have posted originally. http://chirantha.deviantart.com/art/WWE-Night-of-Champions-2012-DVD-Cover-V4-327700071 Follow the link & see it for yourselves. I have put a great effort to do the cover. But they earn money from it. Not fair. I want justice.
Wow, it wouldn’t surprise me. The Malaysian company seem to take any WWE art they wish and use it on their covers.
One of my personal favorites of Micks is the Boiler Room Brawl match with Big Show from Backlash 1999 in my opinion its very underrated! It is bloody and it is definately attitude at it’s best!
Glad they are releasing the best of set after the new year. Last year (best of ppv) they released it in late november.
I just got home from Wal-Mart and they had a few WWE Blu-Rays in a $7.88 bin in it was Wrestlemania 25 &26 2 Royal Rumbles a Summer Slam Bragging Rights best of PPV matches and an Elination Chamber not sure which years
I like how they put Punk’s WWE ’13 render on the Night of Champions DVD cover.
Just seen in the kmart paper that the cm punk dvd is on sell there for $14.99!
Man, that road to Wrestlemania 2012 DVD looks great
Any news about future european dvd/br release(Night Of Champions 2012,Hell in a Cell 2012 ecc..)after silvervision/wwe end of partnership?
Is WWE TLC 2012 being released on blu-ray?
Probably not…looks like they’re only going to put the compilations, documentaries and the big 4 ppvs on Blu-ray.
I assume those would sell much better on Blu-ray than a “B” show.
WWE are pretty slow when it comes to format changes. It wasn’t until 2002 (long after DVD became the dominant format) when they started to release every ppv on DVD. 2001 is missing No Way Out which was cancelled on DVD for some reason.
They were still releasing VHS til 2004, i think Survivor Series or Armageddon were the last VHS produced ppvs.
The final WWE VHS release was SummerSlam 2005. By that point they were only releasing the PPVs on tape and not the documentary releases.
I am pretty sure the last VHS to be made by Silver Vision in the UK was Backlash 2005. I remember reading a statement about it on their website. Some of the earleir superstar profile DVDs came out on VHS too and must have been rubbish in comparision without all of the matches as extras
Nope, no TLC blu-ray I’m afraid.
When did WWE stop releasing non-Big 4 PPVs on blu-ray? Which PPV Blu-rays that SilverVisio released were exclusive to them in UK/Europe?
Over the Limit 2011 was the last non-big 4 ppv Blu-ray WWE released in North America.
Royal Rumble 2009, Summerslam 2009, Summerslam 2011 to TLC 2011, Elimination Chamber 2012, Extreme Rules 2012, Over the Limit 2012, No Way Out 2012 and Money In the Bank 2012 are Silver Vision exclusives.
The good thing is Summerslam 2011 to Survivor Series 2011 are region free and will play on region A blu-ray players.
Aren’t they PAL anyway? In other words, won’t they still have that disgusting framerate problem when played on NTSC TVs?
Nope…PAL to NTSC is practically non-existing with HD especially if connected via HDMI. I imported all UK exclusive blu-rays from Amazon uk and they play beautifully on my region A players. They look and sound great.
Just wondering, are any of the UK blu ray exclusives after Survivor Series 2011, region free?
No, they’re region locked from TLC 2011 onwards.
Can’t wait for Mick Foley blu ray to come out. Maybe alternate commentary on Hell in a Cell?
That would be pretty awesome…the HIAC has been on many releases, but having it with alternate commentary and blur free will be a different experience.
Which reminds me that, the other day I was watching Monday Night RAW from 1998 on Classics On Demand, and that was the first episode, I think, that had no blurs at all… and they didn’t even block out when the announcers said “WWF”. I’m sure you seen it on there too.
Thats cause they got all the rights back to use WWF uncensored on WWE programming meaning they can use old WWF Attitude era footage blur-free, it has to be old WWF footage, no person can say they were WWF champion in the Past now if they say they were champion they have to say they were the WWE champion, Commentators saying WWF champion back then is fine as it was originally said like that and WWE dont have to bleep out the Announcers sayin WWF Champion etc, Its up to WWE really now how to use this to their advantage, they could technically still bleep out announcers saying wwf champion yet keep the program or match blur-free but judging by your comment they kept the whole show from raw 1998 blur free and did not bleep out when someone said wwf,
Did they keep the wwf logo present at the bottom left hand screen?
Other thing they could do is cover the wwf logo at the bottom left hand screen with the big block wwe logo like they done in the past and keep the match blur-free so they dont want to confuse a newbie watching,
We will find out in the Brock Lesnar dvd/bluray if they show his debut in march 2002 and the jeff hardy match from backlash 2002 blu-free and the wwf logo being present at the bottom left hand screen?
Once someone gets hold of that dvd can they confirm if wwe show the match blur-free and wwf logo being present!!
Yes, they kept the original WWF scratch logo in the corner of the screen. Just as if you were watching it in 1998.
