WDN reader “johncenafan2122” sends word that the “Greatest Rivalries: Shawn vs. Bret” DVD can now be found on sale in the $5 bins at Walmart.
In the past 6 months or so, other WWE DVDs spotted marked down in Walmart’s $5 bins include several of the 2011/2012 PPVs events, Greatest Superstars of WrestleMania, Greatest Stars of the ’90s, The Rock: Most Electrifying Man, Superstar Collection: Daniel Bryan, WrestleMania 13 (re-release), WCW Clash of the Champions, and a few others.
Also worth a look is FYE’s current “Buy 2, Get the 3rd for $1” sale on used DVDs – wrestling titles included. Thanks to Rick Velazquez for passing that along.

Ultimate Warrior is my all time favorite wrestler.
He’s the one that got me in to wrestling when I was a kid.
He’s been my favorite since day one.
I stopped watching WCW after he left & I hated the ‘Attitude’ era stuff that the WWF was pinching out, so I just stopped watching wrestling completely for a decade.
I bought the ‘Self Destruction’ DVD & was very disappointed by that DVD.
FINALLY, he is getting the tribute he deserves & headlining the greatest Hall Of Fame class of all time!!!
not true Fox… watch the best pop ever WCW got the night when Warrior arrived especially after Warrior told Hogan beating you means nothing anymore, everybody already has.
Come on. The ratings tanked so low during warrior’s return to nitro that electric bills skyrocketed due to the amount of fridges that were opened due to sandwich breaks while he was on the mic.
Why is Jesse ventura’s commentary on wwe DVDs always edited out? I understand they would have to pay him if it is used, but doesn’t Vince own his audio? Jesse worked for the mcmahons, right? If they gotta pay him, then are they then paying Jim Ross, Tony Shavonnie, Mike tenay, and (god help us) Hillbilly Jim for their audio commentary? Daniel Bee, somebody, drop some knowledge on the ol’ Brick.
From 1987-1990, Jesse’s agent Barry Bloom would ask WWE if WWE paid performers whenever they were included on Coliseum Video releases. Bloom was constantly told by WWE’s representative that only the “featured” performer on each video was paid and no one else. So Jesse kept re-signing with WWE each year with the understanding that he was not entitled to be paid extra money for appearing on home video releases.
After leaving WWE, he discovered for that several 1987 and 1988 events, everyone on the show got some money once the event was released on home video. Everyone except him, that is. He filed a lawsuit, and in May 1994, he won and was awarded over $800,000.
Ever since 2004 (why this didn’t start earlier, I don’t know), WWE started editing Jesse from home video releases unless he was too heavily involved for that to happen. Since his lawsuit was specifically regarding home video releases, Jesse’s commentary is left intact in all other forms that WWE distributes footage (TV airings, WWE.com, YouTube, WWE Network, the now-defunct Classics On Demand).
Wow-I did not know at all about this. I asked because I was watching the latest wwe release “best wcw pay per views” and caught Jesse at the announce table (with no audio, so he looked to be chillin’). The guy brings life to even the dullest matches and no one can touch him during main event commentary. I wondered about the reason for the editing for the longest time but never got around to finding out the truth behind it all. Thanks for the thorough explanation. I appreciate it. Need more like you around here.
I know Warrior does a lot of preaching and seems obnoxious on his high horse all the time trying to tell younger talent what to do and how to act. He should talk, right? BUT, Warrior looks better than most performers half his age. Somewhere, he must’ve done something right.
Man I cannot wait for the Piper timeline. That clip is awesome, one of my favourite stories from Piper. He told it on the Legends of Wrestling Renegades or something show too. Always cracks me up with the Bob Orton stuff.

Black bars, as opposed to decorative on 4:3 footage… Sleek and not distracting… Well done.

Somebody’s got a copy… Can’t we get an update on Ventura’s exclusion/inclusion?
