On the Lesnar/Reigns match, does the match goes to black and white when lesnar bleeds?
The best Wrestlemanila ever
The extras really should have included some of Bray Wyatt’s promos leading up to WM as well as some Sting material, most especially the one where he kicked off RAW to cut a promo only to be interrupted by Stephanie.
Usually I feel pained when I see some Blu-Ray exclusives – this time – I don’t mind so much! Personally – I wish the music interval was an extra!
Disappointed by the lack of extras but understandable since the HOF went as long as WM.
However, this is no excuse for not including that awesome Rusev video. Was the “John Cena preparing for Rusev ” video really better ?
Why can’t WWE use the WM Blu-Ray to put bonus matches of the HOFers? Like they did for WM XXVI? There is ZERO incentive to buy the Blu-Ray unless you are a stickler for the picture quality, which as an older fan I am not, I was raised on shitty VHS copies and listening to PPVs while watching the distorted PPV channel. Any one else remember doing that? Those were the days… Anyways, they have this opportunity, why not use it?
Yes, either bonus matches of the HOFers, or the last Raw & Smackdown before Mania as blu-ray exclusives.
I done that alot from when i was a kid to i think WrestleMania 21 which was the last ppv I was able to listen to on the distorted PPV channel. Sad thing is i still have a massive wrestling VHS tape collection.
Mania and the Hall Of Fame each went 4 hours. The 2 Kickoff matches took up the entire 2nd hour of the pre-show. So right there we’re looking at close to 9 hours. The 4 extra video features probably bring the total running time to exactly 9 hours or just a little over 9 hours. That’s 4-1/2 hours per disc. There really isn’t much more room to add anything else.
The WrestleMania 24 release was the same way. The HOF went just over 4 hrs & had just the preshow battle royal as an extra. WM 26 had a 3 disc blu-ray with the RAW & Smackdown before Mania on the 3rd blu-ray disc BUT that years HOF was 2 hrs 27 min & not 4 hrs. I see it as we actually get over an 8 hr release based on just 2 features.
I think ill get the DVD for this, the bluray doesn’t look like a must buy to me. Anybody know if the ultimate warrior bluray comes with a poster?
Yes it does. I got it in the mail from Amazon yesterday.
After watching this twice on the Network, it might be awhile before I get around to watching it on DVD. Still a must buy for me. I am still missing three Wrestlemanias on DVD, probably the same ones most people are missing, WM16, WM17, and WM18. Someday I am going to have to get on ebay and pay through the nose for them.
Also try pawn shops/thrift stores. I found a WM 18 dvd from a pawn shop for a buck that looked like someone had just opened & never watched. I just found a sealed WM 24 blu-ray from FYE for $6.99 so anything is possible.
Looks like they put an extra special effort into last year’s bonus features as it was WresleMania 30 – oh ell. I’m just happy both pre-show matches are on there, as I kinda wanted to own the footage of Natalya in that outfit, lol!
Anyone know if the bluray/dvd does a wrestlemania highlight package with WM themes at the end?
They only show those at the TV tapings before the show starts. The last Mania on DVD/Blu-ray to include the package highlights at the end was Mania 23.
Pretty sure 27 had the video package at the end with All Night Long by Buckcherry
I miss the days when they would load the wrestlemania dvds with so much extras.
Disappointed that they didn’t use Raw and Smackdown highlights. I’ll get the blu ray anyway.
It must be a necessity due to the length of the ceremony, but I hate that the Hall of Fame inductions have been split onto different discs the last couple years.
Kind of difficult fitting nearly 4 hours on a single DVD without suffering major quality issues…unless you like compression and blocky artifacts.
the blu ray i assume will not split the HOF onto 2 discs, as disc 1 will be Mania & the pre show, & disc 2 the HOF & extras
Then get the blu-ray. The shows are complete on 1 disc. Problem solved.
Weak extras. If I didn’t every Mania I’d pass on this.
Not very many extras
