I don't understand why they even bother putting out the PPVs still. Is there anyone who was really absolutely dying to own a physical copy of Stomping Grounds? If they stop doing PPVs, they probably stop doing DVDs & physical media entirely. We can't have the death of physical media. Yet or at all. Please.

I’m pretty sure at this point they’re just releasing them to be fodder for the wal mart $5 bin. Was full of wrestling dvds and wwe studio films the last time I went to America While I've seen plenty of WWE Films like Legendary in the 5 dollar bins, I've never seen straight up WWE releases in them. Then again I try to stay out of Walmart as much as possible.

I get WrestleMania every year for my collection. As for other DVDs, I get the DVDs of the matches that aren't available on the Network or if it's a favorite wrestler of mine. I usually don't buy them myself. I ask my family to get them for Christmas and my birthday.

I used to see single disc versions of the old 3-disc sets in the $5 bin (which were basically the documentary and whatever bonus was on disc 1).

But mostly it's the tribute box sets like the Piper or Macho, etc. Everything else I will sometimes see in the discount bin

Not surprised at all. They've been cutting down on the content on DVD releases for awhile now.

I've been looking over my collection, and its now its pretty close to 700, all commercial releases, no bootlegs. I'm getting memories of when I was able to get some of the holy grails of my collection. Crap that means nothing to most people, but is pretty important to me. That's why this is so bittersweet.

Its a shame. So this really means I'm not getting my updated Undertaker doc with selected match commentary huh? *sadly puts money away*

I too am a physical media guy, and am saddened. Like others have said, the quality has definitely gone down, but I'll still miss the releases.

I do. Mainly for collection purposes and I prefer owning the physical copy over the digital/streaming version.

The WWE 24 documentaries have been very solid but they feel very short compared to the old documentaries WWE produced on DVD/BluRay from 2004-2013

I don’t know why they can’t implement a made to order system when it comes to their show titles. You have independent distributors like Smart Mark Video that run off titles according to demand. They make what’s been ordered. They’ll bring some physical copies to shows but everything else gets made and mailed out like an on demand custom service with box and disc art. They even have DVD and Blu Ray options when WWE, supposedly the biggest company in the world, won’t even make Blu Rays copies outside of Mania. Plenty of physical media distribution companies that handle wrestling content still exist because fans are still buying shows. WWE could be making money with a service like that but I guess they get enough money from Fox and the Saudis to care. Idk. Honestly, yeah, a WWE made to order service would be absolutely incredible, either just ordering whole shows or arrangements of specific matches. They'd probably make money hand over fist doing that. There are many older fans, and I mean OLDER who want them to do this for WWWF footage from the 70's and have been crying for it for a very long time. It is a good idea, it could basically be like Warner Archive, just more customized.

What are your holiest of holies? Out of nearly 700 you gotta have a top 5 or 10.

I feel like they still have TONS of quality material in their vaults that could keep their compilation discs going for years to come (*COUGH*Savage/Taker*COUGH*), but it's their call.

I’d be more than happy to buy an annual/bi annual unreleased collection DVD of all the dark matches they have

What are your holiest of holies? Out of nearly 700 you gotta have a top 5 or 10. Gonna be picture time here... These are the top tier. The Trish collectors edition has been legendary for awhile, My Raw Homecoming is still sealed. I consider Best of the WWF 2001 to be the rarest, but Live & Unscripted gives it a run for its money. Judgment Day 02, and Vengeance 02 were Shopzone exclusives. These are just cool exclusives, except for Ringleaders. The Punk DVD is still sealed, Kane was a FYE exclusive also still sealed. The Piper set with the bonus disc was a Circuit City exclusive. The WWE version of Just Bring It is actually rarer than the WWF version. That Damn Good was a Best Buy exclusive, but its also been said it was sold at Suncoast. Region 2 Blu Rays that play on Region 1 players. For some reason all of these were released in the UK but they will play on US players. TLC is the one exception as Silvervision figured out what was going on. Tagged Classics These are just some of my favorite Tagged Classics I've imported. In total I have 32 sets So there you go haha.
