Target.com is offering the DVD brand new for $9.79. My other options are: SNME is the best one. It's on my top 20 list in my blog! SNME is my personal number 1. Of course No Mercy 02 was a really good show. Featuring my favorite Hell in a Cell match ever. Brock Lesnar Vs. Undertaker. Also, one of the extras on No Mercy is the making of the No Mercy PPV commerical with Kane and Pete Rose. Fun stuff indeed.

I like how they have (learn more) next to "Sales Tax," yet it isn't a link. It's as if the WWE is just suggesting that we learn more, in general. It's also easier for me to fork down $6.99 for shipping and handling from the WWE as a lump price, as opposed to ordering from TNA who actually break down the shipping and handlings prices separately, getting me momentarily outraged that it costs $3.00 for Nick Hogan to put 'Nevermore: the Best of Raven' in a f***ing envelope. BTW - Thanks DrX25 for linking to the sale, I otherwise would not have known! I know it can be frustrating, but even with that pricing plan, TNA must be losing money on shipping, still. Even at the slowest, cheapest option, you'd be hard pressed to find a way to ship a package for <$3. Part of the reason I really respected ROH when I was into their product. At first, I too balked at their s&h prices, until I started paying attention to the packaging info, realizing that what I paid was considerably cheaper than what it actually cost ROH. WWE can do the cheaper shipping because they make enough money to where that loss isn't anythig significant.

Quick question:
Starting from January 2001, did the WWE average 12 or 13 PPVs a year?

Oh, I don't mind paying, the point I was making was how odd it was that TNA shows "shipping" and "handling" as separate prices, instead of "shipping and handling" together. Like, how does it cost more to handle my merchandise in a warehouse than it does to ship it to me? At least other online retailers leave the shipping-handling margins up to the imagination.

Here are the numbers. 2004 - 14 2005 - 15 2006 - 16 2007 - 15 2008 - 14 2009 - 14 2010 - 13 2011 - 13 So yeah they really upped the ante with PPV's in the mid 2000's.

Quick question. Is this DVD worth $9.79? If its brand new I would say it is. I've heard that event sucks ass though. Even I don't own that one. I probably will at some point however. And that some point is now. I got it brand new on eBay for 6.03, and thats WITH shipping lol.

All apologies.

Place an order for 9 DVDs for around $22 (including shipping)
