    Is this gonna start a "My wrestling dvd pile is bigger than yours thread"?!

    Usually what happens in these threads. Problem is not all of mine are boxed, my WCW and shoot interview collection are converted from videos and are held in carry cases, so my cabnets of DVDs really don't do my collection justice.

    I'll stick em up later once i get home though.

    I don't even bother with cases anymore! I might go take a pic, I'd be interested in seeing exactly how many I have myself

    I actually sorted mine out yesterday for like the first time ever. It took me about 2 hours work. After I was done, and I looked at the stand, I was filled with both pride and a tinge of shame!

    jebus I don`t have that many dvds, let alone wrestling dvds:eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,594 ✭✭✭Fozzy

    That's all the dvds I could find at the moment, a couple of my mates have most of my ROH dvds though. Also, a lot of those aren't "officially available" if you get me. See how much space it saves when you don't bother with cases?!

    That was actually pretty helpful, I found "Bruiser Brody in Puerto Rico", I thought I'd lost it! That's gettin a watch over the weekend

    My ROH collection is impressive, aside from that its fairly meh, including about 15 WWE, 20odd ECW, a few NOAH, a few PWG, a few of the god awful MLW, and thats about it. Ill try and rustle up a photo over the weekend.

    On my to get list, are Good Times Great Memories and Fighting Spirit, both ROH. TED PETTY Invitational 2006, and Heatwave 99.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,594 ✭✭✭Fozzy


    Does anyone watch their dvds a few times, or is it just the once and you like to have it anyway? I used to find myself watching certain matches from ppvs over and over during the week following it when I had it on video, but I've got a lot of dvds that I haven't gotten round to watching yet these days


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    I would rarely watch a whole DVD in one sitting again, but I would certainly watch certain matches from certain DVDs. Like I have watched WMXX main event lots of times, but rarely watch anything else on it.

    Some I have never watched again. Like PWG DVDs I find very hard to re watch (that said, i find PWG difficult to get into due to lack of any commenatry.).


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    I actually own a copy of Lockdown 2007 on DVD haha, only because they messed up my order and sent it out as an apology about a month before it was released.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,917 ✭✭✭RebelRockChick


    Jeez, I really need to up my DVD collection lol. Only have a small amount of DVDs like WM17, Rey Mysterio-619, ROH: Best of Paul London, Monday Night Wars, WWE Confidential.

    Have a few old WCW and ECW videos around the place too aswell as Beyond the Mat and Wrestling with Shadows. Had WM 2 and 3 on video but don't know where they went to :(

    Want to add the Bret Hart DVD and ROH: Best of CM Punk to my *small* collection.

    I'd watch them over again, especially the documentary style ones. My friend and I have have watched "Wrestling in the Shadows" (documentary on Montreal screwjob)we could probably recite it.

    A lot of the dvds I buy would be the old WWE pay per views from the late '80s and early 90's. Granted, alot of them weren't very good but I never got to see them when I was a kid so I'm making up for it now. Plus its nice for the nostalgia of it, even if in the case of say Wrestlemania 7 where it seems a participant in every second match has died. So its bitter sweet.

    I will say this for the WWE back then, I absolutely loved their tag team division.


    Just on the Bret Hart dvd for RRC, the documentary is tremendous. My favorite part is seeing Stu Hart is match from Stampede. You'll know the part when you see it!

    I do, i watch the documentary DVDs more often than PPVs but i do tend to dig out PPVs at random depending on what i'm in the humour for watching.

    Very nice stuff here, I got sidetracked from starting a collection and must get going again. I have a few of the old Silvervision Wrestlemania tapes in the house in Ireland and got a few of the WWE Classic DVDs (the ones with 2 Wrestlemanias on one DVD) and they are not too bad.
    I would love to get my hands on some of the WCW stuff (Sting VS Black Scorpion and that sort of thing).

    wwe would make a fortune releasing the old wcw ppvs,but knowing them theyd have todd grisham doing the commentary,would love some of thr 96-98 ppvs when wcw was at its height

    They really weren't doing that great to be honest dude, the quality of their RAW programming really didn't reflect on PPVs except for the undercards.

    Benoit v Malenko series, Mysterio v Guerrero series, BATB 96 for it's main event and Souled Out 97 are the only ones i'd recommend from 96-98.

    actually thats a good point,maybe a best of nitro collection or something,i bought the brian pillman and rey mysterio dvds purely for the wcw stuff


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,599 ✭✭✭✭ShawnRaven


    I got a lot of the Monday Night War series from 24/7 and some of the Nitro stuff from 96 is quite interesting to watch, it's from Sep 95 to April 96 when both RAW and Nitro were an hour long. Nitro was kinda like WWE from six years beforehand ;)

    has anyone gotten wrestlemania 23 yet? my tin edition arrived from silvervision yesterday,have it on now,great reliving the memories,although theyve made some changes,the opening narration is by the usual bloke who does the wwe voiceovers (you know the guy,sounds like he gargles with gravel every morning) wheras on the original show it was (if im not mistaken) the actor keith david. they did very cleverly edit out the guy jumping into the ring at the beginning of the cena/michaels match too. enjoyed watching the HOF,i only caught the highlights in a bar in detroit when i was there and i was half pissed arguing with a guy about if flair was overrated or not while it was on,dusty rhodes induction was hilarious,and flair cries every time someone mentions his name,hes gonna be like a baby when he gets inducted

    I actually didn't think much of the event this year, i did see the tin box edition for 44 quid in Tower so i thought i'd pass on it until i found somewhere else doing it for less.

    They're usually pretty smart at editing out botches, remember the cruiserweight battle royal at Mania XX where Ultimo Dragon nearly goes on his snot at the entranceway, and then nearly slips off the ropes when he gets into the ring!

    i was pissing myself at his feeble attempt to point at the entranceway "it was the slidy surface i tell ya!" after he nearly fell over, goldberg falling on his arse during his entrance at summerslam 2003 was pretty funny too.

    while mania 23 may not have been the best wrestling wise it did have a solid 4 matches out of 8 which aint too terrible,mitb,the 2 title matches and the us title match were all good,pity cena and michaels wasnt as good as the raw event in the uk a few weeks later. i was pissed that the ecw,tag titles and intercontinental titles werent defended ,the IC title title hasnt been defended at a mania in what, 5 years?

    I only really liked the MITB and the last 10 mins of the WHC match, the first 10 nearly put me to sleep to be honest.

    But i'll end up getting the DVD for completists purposes.
