Hi my name is Sam Downing I like wwe

UPDATE: I got both RAW 25th Anniversary & Shawn Michaels Unreleased!
UPDATE: I got Then, Now, Forever: The Evolution of WWE’s Women’s Division for Christmas!
Will There Be Every WCW And ECW Paperview On DVD In The Future? I Really Missed Those WCW And ECW Paperviews. #GreatMemories
Hopefully 2019 sees in addition to Unreleased sets on certain superstars, but DVD’s on Bruno, Andre, and a full Unreleased 1986-1995 Volume 2 & an Unreleased set featuring dark matches from SNME, TME, RAW, & PPV dark matches.
I only purchased 3 titles this year 🙁
-Hardy Boyz, 30 years of Summerslam & Michaels Unreleased (as well as 5 old Royal Rumble sets 2011-2015- only cos they were on Blu-Ray)!
I miss purchasing so many New Blu-Ray sets 🙁 n I’m stuck with DVD’s 🙁 I really wished the 30 Years of Summerslam & Michaels Unreleased could have been Blu-Ray!
Last year I only bought 8 Blu’s in Total! But I would call that a lot for all around the world!
Transfer the DVD’s to blu-ray. That’s what most people are doing with their sets.
And what exactly is that accomplishing? Transfering DVDs to BDs doesn’t bring them up to 1080p HD quality. Also I highly doubt “most” people are doing that. More like very few people with way too much free time on their hands.
Genuine question: those people on here who want BluRays because of the high picture quality, do you have trouble watching ROH, Impact and indie companies who only produce standard definition DVDs, if watching them via that format? (I know they have their networks in HD etc. but I’m asking the physical media collectors on here) Or are you more accepting of that because it is the only option for those companies? I’m just curious as to people’s feelings on that, because some people on here have been known to describe standard definition DVDs as “unwatchable”.
Well after having to go back to standard DVDs, I wouldn’t call them unwatchable! However they don’t give me all the fun & excitement I get from watching & browsing around on my Blu-Rays including it’s Chapters, Special features & Extra Blu-Ray matches! That’s most of my fun & excitement right there together with it’s Matches &/or Documentary/s 🙂
DVD’s inferior sound and picture quality is well documented but your points sum up the ‘little things’ that make blu-ray that much better also. I’ll never understand why the general public didn’t all ditch DVDs and upgrade to something far superior. I’m buying a lot less WWE product these days…
Thanks, yeah I was just curious as to whether there was anybody out there that avoids all other wrestling companies purely because they don’t release BluRays. I’m watching mostly other companies these days as I’ve just had about as much WWE as I can take and the Roman problem doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon, so it’s kind of standard def for me or nothing at the mo, lol. I’m not into streaming either.
pro-wrestling guerilla and evolve both realease blu rays. try bola 2017 final night
Everyone else pretty much summed it up already, but the thing I liked about Blu-rays is the playback. I’m not sure if anyone else has avoided this issue or not, but I’ve never had a problem with Blu-ray disc being defective whereas DVDs are bound to have that issue. That’s what it seems anyway.
collectors want the best possible option based on current available technology, especially tape trader/footage hoarder types who don’t want to have to re-buy the same footage years down the road when it gets upgraded in some form or another.
they could put these sets on the network and they’d instantly be higher quality than the DVD releases, rendering the purchases kind of moot compared to a homebrew/ripped collection.
same reason it sucks that PPVs don’t get BD releases anymore. used to be worth buying but why pay $20-25 for a downgraded version compared to their subscription service? It’s not that they’re ‘unwatchable,’ it’s just that it’s bogus to pay more for less.
More content on fewer discs. You’re right ‘most’ aren’t doing that. but it’s valid. Just not sure it’s worth doing on these in particular. You’re missing the point of it mainly because this is a bad hypothetical use of it.
Do we know if evolution will be released in the us this year also?
Looks like it will be released but maybe that’ll arrive in early 2019. We’ll let you know when we know.
Thanks
So both ‘THE SUPER SHOWDOWN’ and ‘THE GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE’ will be out on the same day? Oh well, the sooner the better.
Can somebody help me with something please.. above for the ‘Upcoming titles’ it is stated:
* Also available on Blu-ray
** Also available on Blu-ray (UK/European Exclusive)
~ US Exclusive DVD release
^ UK/European Exclusive DVD release
So does this mean that upcoming titles such as the Shawn Michaels Unreleased set will be released on Blu-Ray too as an Exclusive?! As the Shawn Michaels Unreleased set is not shown on ‘wwedvd.co.uk’ website as a Blu-Ray & I’ve already pre-ordered my Michaels set on DVD, though would rather have it on Blu-Ray!!!
Er, no. Because the HBK set does not have the two asterisks (**) next to it in the list, as per the key.
Got ya. Thanks.
My favourite post of the year
I only have two of the titles released this year: Royal Rumble 2018, and Raw 25. I’ll add Shawn Michaels Unreleased and WM34 (when it’s cheaper), so just the four in total.
Does anyone know if the Saudi show on Nov 2 is going to be a Network special and/or released on DVD? If the rumoured HBK comeback match takes place, this will be an event worth owning.
Hold up HBK is rumored too be coming out of retirement?!! Against who?!! Please be Daniel Bryan! Please give him one more Wrestlemania match too!!! WrestleMania 35….Shawn Michaels.vs.Triple H! No Holds Barred match!
And of course, as we all know, according to reviewer Mark ’30 Years of Summerslam’ is the best DVD set of the year! 🙂
The poll actually has the Macho DVD by a pretty big margin. I am only buying “unreleased” matches and blu rays now. If they put a couple of FCW matches on, or an unreleased live event match, they have me hooked. Otherwise, I am out. Except for the Styles DVD. I wish it were on blu ray, but I am an unapologetic mark and I am buying it 🙂
Rabid, some others in the poll chose the same. Like the review post the other day it’s just one person’s point of view.
Someone might want a set stacked with memorable matches they grew up on, others will want brand new/exclusive stuff.
I personally loved the old documentary titles.
I agree I wish they did more documentaries… I think the only big documentary being released this year is from Highspots Michael Elliott releasing the Florida Championship Wrestling dvd set
I know perfectly well that it’s one person’s point of view, and I was making the point that I disagreed. Not sure why you felt I needed it explained to me as to what constitutes somebody’s opinion, but thanks all the same.
“I was making the point that I disagreed” – not exactly, it was more like negativity from you about Mark’s viewpoint, carried over to an article nothing to do with that really.
It was sarcasm instead of just saying that you disagree and telling us what WWE DVD you like best.
So I rightly called you on it.
Deal with it. 😎
I get it if WWE DVD, or their product in general, or our site here, isn’t interesting you as much lately – each to their own – but there’s bad vibes from your comments these days. Why, dude?
I wish you would start banning users Daniel…
I agree with you, it has been a lazy year for releases. I hope that they do at least one or two of the documentary releases they have done in the past. Not the 1 hour docs but the documentaries where they go 2 hours plus. I understand it is the Network era, I can still wish correct…
