This arrived in the mail today. The version of Great American Bash 2004 with the closeup shot of Torrie Wilson is a very rare version that was only sold at Walmart, they requested a change in covers because apparently the original was too risque for them. It has a different UPC than the original version, and is long out of print. The best part, I only paid 5 dollars for it from a guy in wrestling DVD group on Facebook who had no idea of what he had. This was one of my holy grails, and I finally snagged it.

I think you mean the one on the left, not right. Your current OP is suggesting the one showing her full-body is the rare Wal-Mart version.

Huh, I gave this DVD (with that cover) away, along with all my other PPV DVDs when the network launched.

A search on Ebay just now found a copy that is Buy It Now for $35, so I don't think it's that rare.

Well at least there's a great JBL vs Eddie Guerrero match on there. And you get to watch Paul Bearer get encased in concrete!

Congrats! Wait I have that one too! Finally owning this turd of an event has paid off for something more than "wow check out how bad this show is" type enjoyment.

Isn't the Benoit DVD super hard to find as well?

Just because something isn't super expensive doesn't mean its not rare, 35 dollars is about the right price for a used copy, if it was still sealed it becomes a whole other ballgame. It's also the only copy for sale on ebay, while there are always plenty of copies of something like Wrestlemania 17 which obviously there is more of a demand for.

Is this PPV on the Network? Wouldn't that lower the rarity of the DVD?

No. Obviously it's been deleted and all the official WWE shops stopped selling it but as it was a decent seller upon its initial release, it's easy to find used copies. You can even pick them up still in their wrapper for about £20. Here's the thing, just because something is expensive doesn't make it rare. The Benoit DVD is all over eBay with people trying to get more for it than its actually worth. The same goes for WM 17 which I mentioned earlier. So while the Walmartt GAB DVD may not be that expensive, it's also not very known about by many collectors. I mean it wasn't a publicized exclusive, and it's not like Walmart gets many of each PPV release in their stores. I didn't buy it for investment reasons, I bought it because I know how rare it is, and wanted it in my collection, the fact I got it very cheap is just an added bonus. So when it comes to stuff like this there's 2 ways to look at it. If it's actually rare, then good luck finding it at all. If it's internet rare, that just means it's easily found, but you're gonna pay a hefty price for it, thus people selling WM 17 on eBay for 60 to 75 dollars, when so are a bunch of other people. If that's makes sense.

Kind of like how when a comic book is reprinted, it may lower demand from those who just want to read the story, but the rarity isn't changed, as a finite number of that particular version exist.

The prices of WWE DVDs has plummeted since the Network launched.
Well over here anyway
