Mike, a Walmart employee, let us know that most Walmart stores will be setting up a new permanent section of WWE DVDs in their video departments this month, and to kick it off there will be a promotion including many titles for less than $10 each!
It’s officially meant to begin in stores next Monday but we hear some have already started. The DVDs included are expected to rotate every few weeks. Below is a list of current titles, which includes the new WrestleMania 1-15 releases.

I’m not that much of a online reader to
be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up!
I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back down the
road. All the best
It sucks none of the 5 Walmarts within 10 miles of MD have a wrestling display/section. Maybe 2 or 3 DVDs at most!
I got 12-15 and I have to say, it’s pretty cool 12-14 actually seem to be the versions from the Anthology set but 15 is a new version. 15 has the WWF logos all in tact and all references to WWF in tact. Just a little FYI.
Are these available in Canada, or just the US?
Just the US by the looks of it.
Hey guys,anybody try redeeming their WrestleMania e-copy yet on VUDU? When you go on the website to redeem, it just leaves you with a jumbled list of WrestleMania events to choose from. They are not in order, and besides the obvious 27 and 28, you cannot tell which Mania you are getting when you select it! It tells you on the next page, but by then it is too late and the code is already redeemed! I wanted WrestleMania X, so naturally I chose the tenth item, but it turns out that was WrestleMania 11, which I already have on DVD! Any help or tips? Perhaps a listing of which is which for us with multiple codes?
I had the same issue it’s choose random unless you choose 27,28
normaly last 2 years they started the sale back in feb and went until like mid march closer to wm this year started bit later but eh this is a good sale i mean u cant really compain but I KNOW PEOPLES WILL LOL anyway yea sucks wm 15 got hacked to death with edits but ehh i mean wm 15 really not that good ex for hardcore title wwf title and european title i mean i was lucky i got it on vhs back in 03 for 8 bucks 😀 so anyway yea i mean this is a good sale if u want just certin ones not a entire anthogigy set for 30 bucks or 20 watever so again good sale i got wms 4 5 10 and cm punk bluray so yea if u can find the walmarts that got the wwe sale get as many as u can
Are the sales for the whole month?
More than a month is the way I took it, but we don’t have solid details. Just heard “permanent section” and titles will rotate every few weeks. May just end up being for WM season like is usually, but I don’t know yet.
Sorry to break up the WM discussion (thanks for all the info!), but wanted to mention that it seems that some of the box sets may not include the usual match listing booklet. I picked up Ladder Match and Satan’s Prison at Walmart — no booklet.
Not a huge deal, but I find them handy.
took me few walmarts 3 but i found the sale all of them were there i got wm 4 cause i never saw it not bad for 10 bucks might go back get few more dont know yes wm dvds are just from the antholgy set so meh who cares wm 15 sucks its edited to hell but o well gotta find those right walmarts that have them and stock up soon as u can
Was able to get some dvds set I didn’t have but the only blu-ray I picked up was Clash of Champions, still considering going back for History of Wrestlemania, The Streak, and the two History of Championships sets but probably not till next week
I’m at my Walmart and the $10 DVDs were supposed to be out today and that they were starting it last night so I come out here and they don’t know if they’re doing it because nobody has told them nothing. On their website it was shown that the new WrestleMania DVDs were supposed to been released today and they only have 1 new dvd and its the $5 greatest stars of the 90s. My Walmart is always messed up
Yes, the vudu code is for a digital copy of “any” Wrestlemania, but you can only select from 1-15 or 27 or 28.
I wonder if the vudu code is a digi copy cred for a wrestlemania like they did last year..im missing 3 and wouldnt want to spend $30 just for the DC when i get a disc & DC.
Daniel, when are you guys going to give us an official word on the editing of the new WM DVDs?
They already did in another post, all Wrestlemania are the same accept for 15 which is unblurred but has so many other stupid edits that it’s not worth it.
I just went to two different Walmarts in the Md area And I DID NOT find any sale. 🙁
The article does say it’s meant to start from Monday, and that it’s most Walmarts not all. 🙂
I’m waiting for more information before I purchase any of these. I bought the old WM 15 DVD last month and I’m glad I did.
Still no details on WM XIV???
WMXIV is the Anthology disc. The VOB files are from 2005, and the don’t-try-this-at-home features Chris Benoit. What I believe, having only seen XV and XIV, is that 1-XIV are all straight ports of the Anthology discs and XV was updated because it’s a scratch logo show.
*sigh* was hoping for an unedited WM XIV. I have the original VHS but its in pretty bad shape from wear and tear since it was taped in EP mode. Also have the Anthology version. Was hoping to avoid the Tagged Classics version, but hopefully WWE will have the WM Blu-ray boxset next year.
I’m glad i have the original WM XV DVD from 1999, looks like they really edited the re-release.
At this point I don’t even know if a blu-ray box set will be even worth it if they’re gonna do things like edit out guys choking eachother and cutting out full segments like the post-match angle with Taker and Bossman. They’re still gonna be edited. Theme music is one thing. I can deal with those being edited, to an extent anyway, but unnecessary editing just ruins the whole thing.
XIV actually was a scratch logo show. The scratch logo was in the bottom left corner (as seen in the image here http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingWM14/home.html ) and the photographers at ringside were wearing scratch logo t-shirts…
The scratch logo was there but it was a show in transition to it. It didn’t feature it to the complete extent that it would be in subsequent shows.
I just wrote up this comparison of WMXV 2005 (Anthology) vs WMXV 2013,
Total running time for 2005 XV: 2:46:23
Total running time for 2013 XV: 2:39:03
Edits as I find them (time based on more complete Anthology timecode):
16:16: 2013 restores a 5 second shot of Holly walking away with the belt cut from the Anthology version.
49:16: 2013 restores a half second shot of an audience member giving the finger.
50:29: 2013 restores a half second of dead frame as Road Dogg ducks before a cut to the crowd.
1:25:07: 2013 cuts a 10 second shot of Big Pun in the crowd.
1:27:01-1:27:06: Alternate footage. The lead in on both cuts is Tori walking to the ring. 2005 cuts to 5 seconds of video package from Raw, 2013 cuts to Tori attempting to slide into the ring and being kneed by Sable. At 1:27:06 2005 and 2013 are in sync again, with 2005 not showing Sable kneeing Tori at all.
1:30:57-1:31:06: Alternate angles. 2013 shows this attempt at a Sable Bomb in a single close profile shot. 2005 cuts to a wider shot and then to a reverse shot.
1:33:04: 2013 restores an extra 1 second of Lawler before the X-Pac/Shane match graphic, and the graphic runs about 5 seconds longer as well. It’s interesting because in 2005 it flashes to the DX promo, while in 2013 in dissolves to the promo, so in 2005 you can like see everyone with their eyes down, which you don’t notice in 2013 because of the dissolve. By the time the dissolve finishes everyone’s eyes are up.
1:48:18-1:50:50: 2013 removes the Undertaker video package in its entirety, though it does tack on a 3 second shot of the M&M blimp in its place.
1:58:44-1:59:02: 2013 removes Boss Man choking Undertaker, replacing 18 seconds of violence with 3 seconds of Paul Bearer B roll.
2:04:20-2:07:56: 2013 completely removes the hanging of Boss Man, cutting right to the Rage Party.
2:07:59: 2013 is reversed here for some reason, and notice whatever kinda ghosting or overlay is goingon with the WWF logo.
2:08:07: 2013 cuts 30 seconds of the Rage party vignette here.
2:08:52: 2013 cuts a 4 second shot from the Rage party.
2:25:53: 2013 cuts Austin choking Rock, replacing it with a three second crowd shot.
2:45:34: 2013 completely cuts Undertaker/Boss Man from music video, and oddly also the Shawn/Vince stuff afterward, picking up with the shot of The Rock’s entrance.
They edited out any spots with choking? So its like the Saturday Morning Slam show. All 15 of them must be like that then. Wow. What a waste. If nothing else these would make great coasters.
I believe XV was the only show to be updated in this release, all others being direct ports of the anthology discs. But it is completely ridiculous, and a site like this should make fans aware that WWE did it and advocate for uncut home video releases.
It’s disappointing indeed when we know they can legally show the scratch logo and refer to “WWF” audibly, but it’s also somewhat expected for last minute budget DVDs that never even appeared on the main schedule. It was never promised they would be anything new. Rest assured we’ll be posting an article about it here soon (waiting on photos of them to pad it out) because as usual while we do try to be pro-WWE, we don’t sugar coat news.
If you want screenshot of the edits I posted them here: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/571665-official-wrestling-dvd-discussion-thread-volume-xiii-134.html
Thanks Daniel this has pics
Picked up Wrestlemania XV at Walmart, Here are the details:
– No edits/blurring on the scratch logo or the wwF being stated (The Fink says WWF as soon as the first match starts for the Hardcore Championship and again when Holly becomes the new champion).
– The disc is ONE sided with a 2 hour 39 minute runtime. There is NO artwork on the disc, it simply states Wrestlemania XV on the inside ring of the disc (Same as the Anthology discs).
– The Bossman hanging is still removed from this release. After the match ends, Taker keeps looking up at the Cell, but it segues into the, “Wrestlemania Rage Party” at the 2:01:39 mark.
– The menu and menu music are exactly the same as the Anthology release.
– The spine art has an error – The picture should be the Rock Bottom from the cover, instead it’s the suplex from Hart to HBK as seen on the WM XII cover and spine.
I’d provide pictures, but the contact link doesn’t give you the option to do so, and I’ll be honest, it’s too much work to upload them to a host site (4AM here) and link them. Hope this helps.
The spine art of Mania 15 has a picture of Bret vs Shawn from a completely different Mania. How do these people keep their jobs? Thanks for the review.
Going to get cash on sunday going to buy wrestle mania 9 and 8
Are the dvd’s 2 sided flip discs or do they actually have disc artwork?
My walmart had the display but not the dvds yet only WM 15 & on the spine it had a picture from WM 12 do they all have this?
All of them at my Walmart had the wrong artwork also (4 copies there). I actually left a comment right above with the full details on the dvd.
kick asss if i had money i get wms 4 5 6 10 and 11
So if I understand you guys correctly, the WrestleManias 1-15 don’t have any blurs. However some of the original entrance music has been replaced much like the Anthology sets? When will the WWE finally release unmolested WrestleManias?
These are the sales where I buy alot of things at once!
Picked up cm punk best in the world blue ray for 3 pounds at grainger games this week bargain
I also got the whole attitude collection at poundland bargain
did you get the 2 ppv from the attitude collection as well ones as well?
Just picked up Manias 4,5,6,8. No edits. No blurs. Beautiful. Picked up some others too.
Did You Happen To Pick Up Either WrestleMania 14 or 15? If So, Were There Any Blurs/Edits On Them?
friend bought 15. says no blur
Okay. No muted wwF references in the ones you got?
Yes I got xv soon happy no blurs
Went to local Walmart and picked up Mania 14 & 15. 14 is anthology disc with full edits but 15 looks likened release without blurs or anything.
So 15 Has The Scratch Logo And Utterances Of WWF, But Is The “Hanging” Of The Bossman Edited Out After His Match With Undertaker & Is The Disc Single-Sided Or Double-Sided?
Bossman hanging included
Might wanna check that. I’ve been told Bossman hanging is not included.
Daniel, Do You Know If XV Has The WWF Scratch Logo In The Bottom Left Corner & If Anything Is Cut From It Besides The Bossman Hanging.
Also, Could The Reason Manias 1-14 Are Edited Like The Anthology & 15 Is Not Be That 1-14 Were Only Originally Released On VHS And On The Anthology But, 15 Was Released On DVD (And On The Anthology) & 15 Could Be Easily Pulled From The 1999 DVD & The Others Could Be Easily Pulled From The Anthology, Considering These ARE Low-Budget DVDs.
I was asking that as a question
Questions have question marks, champ.
WM 1-13 wouldn’t have any blurs. No scratch logo then.
Were any of the double sided? Is there disc art?
If you’ve got them (anyone seeing this) shows us some pics.
http://wwedvdnews.com/contact
We can’t report on it without knowing for sure.
I already have the original sets, I am not sure if I should sell them to get the re-release due to no blurs/edits on them? Should I?
I’d check first.
Does that mean all the original music is included?
no. Demolition is changed. Flair’s is too. some others. Same as on the anthology
Does koko have a blur on his tights still in wm4 or for the strike force match does it say wwf tag team champions or is it still blank.
Does it blur the sign in wm8 of bobby for wwf president and does vince say wwf champion ric flair at the intro maybe they fixed the blurs just not the music or 1-14 is the anthology and 15 is a re release of the 99 version.
I just bought WrestleMania IX and I can confirm that that particular disc is the same as one from the anthology set. It has the same menu, and the “WWF” audio references are edited out. I would assume it is the same garbage with the other WrestleMania’s so I won’t be buying any more.
So, the music IS or IS NOT edited on the entrances, ie, Demolition and The Big Boss Man?
Do you think you could post some pictures to confirm this?
I see the Wrestlemania 28 Blu-Ray in the first pic but do not see it listed. Is it part of the sale?
I enlarged the pic and it does say $12.96 under the WM28 Blu-ray, so it probably is.
Thank you.
mania 27 is in the 7.88 bin at my walmart looks like trip to walmart is in store for me
is wal mart canada going to do the same thing ?
Have no info on that. Did they in the past?
We just had a bunch of $5 dvd sets in the Canada Walmarts. I just picked up King Of The Ring 3 disc set for $5, and there was a bunch of ppvs, Superstars and 3 disc sets. But it happens like once a year for us Canadians. This is probably just for the USA. It would be nice if Canada got a WWE dvd section, but I doubt we will.
i agree i live in edmonton and all we had was 3- 2012 dvds 1 – 2011 bryan ryder orton and shamus in the 5 dollar bin
If the footage is intact, we need those Mania’ re-releases over here.
My questions is are the Wrestlemania release have the WWF edits blur on the logo? I have the Anthology set but I would purchase the Wrestlemanias wit the blurs…is it WM 15-18?
Wowww!! Only in the US I will have to guess???
We need to know specifics on the WrestleMania I-XV. Edits? Blurs?
Looks like I’ll be making some Wal-Mart trips next week.
Does anyone know if these are double sided? The only way I’d rebuy them is if they were single sided. I’m too lazy to flip the disc.
Wow…$13 for CM Punk blu-ray. Too bad it was a day one purchase for me.
You should have waited dumbass
John, Glad to see you can see the future, please tell me; on what date will the Mick Foley Blu-Ray be $13? Thank you.
There is no need to predict the future. The price will eventually come down. I personally wait to get all WWE DVDs because I have a huge stack of stuff to watch.
Find out yourself fucktard
