$1 Wrestling DVD & possible future Crap Induction

[lovingway]

Went to WalMart and found a DVD called Rodman Downunder for a $1. It was an Australian Card featuring Public Enemy vs LOD is a tables match, Brute Force (Beefcake) vs Barbarian, a ladies match, Tatanka vs One Man Gang and Rodman vs Hennig. Dibiase does announcing with some guy who is horrendous.

Anybody else have this?

Holy shit I have to find this! LOD vs. PE in a tables match! Oh man! and a Wrestlecraps most hated man Beefcake vs. "the greatest" samoan wrestler ever in, Barbarian? Oh and the battle of the irresistable force vs. The immovable object? Of course I'm talking about Tatanka vs. One Man Gang! and the main events of all main events! Bigger than Andre vs. Hogan, bigger than Rock/Austin and surely bigger than Cena/Batista if that ever happens. The match up of the millenium! Hennig vs. Rodman! Damn I have to find this! My life will not be complet until I see this!

Wasn't this a PPV a few years back?

Line of the night goes to the announcer in the PE vs LOD tables match when they were going for pins.

Announcer: Ted, why do they, instinctively, go for the pin?
Ted Dibiase: Wrestler's instinct

HAHAHAHA!

Oh man I'm so going to Walmart to find this!

[imnotbooked]

Damn! Walmart is becomin' THE place to go for wrestling DVD's. First we had that great $1 DVD with Blassie/Sheik/Volkoff with Ken Patera on commentary and now this one!!

[hutter]

Well, the fans were really into it. I guess they're happy for anything down under. BTW, did anyone ever fing out what the hell "iGeneration" is supposed to mean?

[willywonka666]

Yea I remember getting this PPV a few years back. It was 20 something dollars I think,since it wasn't a major ppv. The big selling point for me was seeing the Road Warriors. I'll probably get the dvd too though. Thanks for the heads up.

Now that I think about it, the infamous "Legends of Wrestling" ppv could wind up on dvd too at this rate

["Playboy" Don Douglas]

I have this. What can I say, I can't pass up wrestling for a dollar. While it's certainly not the best show I've seen, I thought it was more than worth the price.

The guy calling the action with Dibiase does indeed suck. And I was surprised at all the weight jokes directed toward Johnny Grunge.

Am I the only person who thought that this DVD was a collection of Dan Rodimer's best matches?

From 411mania.com, dated 12/1/2000:

In the midst of a somewhat low point for pro-wrestling, a new promotion by the name of iGeneration Wrestling will attempt to make a big splash right away by debuting on PPV tonight with "Rodman Down Under." The new guys landed Dennis Rodman for the main event, as he will take on Curt Hennig. The show was taped awhile ago from Sydney and it should be interesting to see how the production quality and show do in the end. These guys have recently announced the signings of figure skater Tonya Harding and female boxer Mia St.John to long term deals, so obviously they will be putting a lot of weight on the entertainment aspect of sports entertainment. At a time when both ECW and WCW are having major financial problems and the WWF is starting to see their business decline, it is a brave move to say the least for these guys to go straight to PPV without any sort of build or experience. It is obvious that they will try to compete for a place in the U.S. wrestling market which is a very tough thing to do since the market has not added anyone new in years.

According to (an archived version of) their website, the pay-per-view was two hours long and cost $20 to order. It was also filmed six months before it actually aired.

never heard of it, but I WANT IT NOW!!!!

I still have yet to find that other $1 wrestling dvd that was produced.

so to date we now have 3 $1 wrestling dvds from walmart correct?

[heffer111]

i saw this at the checkout line in walmart for a dollar too... right next to where they sell the gum at the checkout, it was really weird and random

[odor31]

I have this and the Iron Sheik/Blassie one. I couldn't watch the Sheik one, I fast forwarded it all...it was bad. The Rodman one, I only watched the main event and it was alright...then again, I like Rodman.

[Rocky Van Heineken]

I finally watched this DVD last night.

Near the end, Brutus Beefcake comes out to break up a fight between Rodman and Hennig, and the announcer says "BRUTE FORCE TO THE RESCUE!!"

Ah yes; I once bought a best of Daniel Rodimer DVD too bad it did not come with a DVD inside

I own that. I want my dollar back. It's easily the worst DVD I've ever owned.
