– There was a short term major price drop on older WWE titles on iTunes such as 2010 PPVs (Survivor Series, Summerslam, Bragging Rights, etc.) and some from 2011 (Extreme Rules, Wrestlemania 27, Elimination Chamber, MITB, etc.). The whole event was priced at just $5.99 in SD, with no effect on the price of each match individually (only full season). Also, many older documentaries had been reduced in price to just $4.99 including Greatest Rivalries, Evolution of a Predator, The Life of a Masked Man, True Story of Wrestlemania, Rise and Fall of WCW and others. Though this offer only ran for a short period, it could be a sign that the WWE may reduce prices of older titles in the near future. Look out for that.
– WWE released Summerslam 2012 as a digital download which, as you know, featured Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk vs John Cena for the title.
Blurb: The Perfect Storm engulfs Los Angeles on the historic 25th Anniversary of SummerSlam. The wrecking ball force of Brock Lesnar meets the blind rage of a vengeful Triple H as two larger-than life gladiators collide for the first-time ever! Plus, CM Punk seeks validation for his status atop the WWE in a Triple Threat title defense against the Big Show and long-time rival John Cena. And after being injured at the hands of Alberto Del Rio, a determined Sheamus puts his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against the ruthless “Man of Destiny”. A violent whirling of storm clouds approaches the Staples Center for WWE SummerSlam!
– Other WWE releases in September included two more Superstar series, Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton. Both are available to download as separate matches or as a season on iTunes and Zune. Kofi’s bouts are with the likes of Jericho, Orton, and Ziggler. Orton’s matches are with Triple H, DiBiase, Cena, and Christian.
– WWE released the 45 minute Rock vs. Cena “Once In A Lifetime” documentary also, which is available digitally on Xbox Live. Elsewhere it will be out on October 9th to rent and buy.
– Some new titles have been added to Netflix including WWE: Falls Count Anywhere: The Greatest Street Fights and Other Out of Control Matches, and ECW Unreleased Volume 1, as well as two classic DVD’s in ECW Bloodsport and ECW Extreme Rules.
– Vudu has removed lots of WWE videos – from over 125 titles down to about 20, and then back up to about 50. This could be because of the big price drops seen on iTunes but it might due to other licensing issues. Some titles have been restored over the month but the majority are still missing.
– WWE’s new thriller, Barricade is now out to rent and buy through the usual digital platforms.
– The WWEGreatestMatches.com October preview reads “Tag Team bouts, more Editors Choice, and Batista.” Also they have added some new matches including:

Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thank you!

It still boggles my mind that WWE doesn’t give fans the option of downloading the FULL pay per views from itunes. I don’t like the match by match split versions they put out that cut the sow opens and any backstage interviews and segments.
Even more so with The Streak set. To be 100% honest I think anyone that buys that set is a fool. There will be more Taker matches short of an awful series of events. With rumors of no blurs, why not just wait?

CM Punk Best In The World was released today in Australia, suck it all you American fans!!
Shipping early to UK fans too (Silvervision.co.uk).
That’s alright, we’ll eventually get our copies too.
once again, NETFLIX is the way to go.
Even more so with The Streak set. To be 100% honest I think anyone that buys that set is a fool. There will be more Taker matches short of an awful series of events. With rumors of no blurs, why not just wait?
The streak DVD on Netflix doesn’t mean blurs will be removed. The content is still the same as the DVD counterpart.
right, what I’m saying is THE NEXT SET that comes out for “The Streak” that has his next WM match or two.
undertakers streak 20-0 dvd is on netflix
On Classics on Demand, the latest RAW from 11/2/98 completely blur free, even the scratch logo on the the bottom left is shown.
I previewed the episode and saw the same. Guess the last episode of RAW is WAR for October 1998 was the last one to be blurred.
Just out of interest what raiting did WWE give that show, as when it aired originally it was TV-PG, was it the same on Classics?
The usual TV-14 DLV rating. Looks like the PPVs in the early Attitude Era were TV-14 DLV (TV-14 LVD as you saw the rating logo on PPVs).
