THE LATEST WWE ERROR (AND THIS IS ONE YOU WON'T BELIEVE)
by Mike Johnson @ 12:45:00 PM on 1/7/2007
Chris Cutrer sent the following....One of the extras on the Survivor Series 06 DVD is the main event from the first Survivor Series in 87 with Hulk Hogan/Bam Bam Bigelow/Don Muraco/Ken Patera/Paul Orndorff vs. Andre the Giant/One Man Gang/King Kong Bundy/Rick Rude/Butch Reed. During the match, Michael Cole (who handles commentary with JBL, replacing the original commentary) refers to the One Man Gang as "the late, great One Man Gang". Unless I missed something I'm sure that he is still among the living.
That is one hell of an error. Indeed, One Man Gang is alive and well, working as a prison security guard in the Southern United States. He's done several shoot interviews and convention appearances in recent years as well, so I am really surprised that error made it onto the DVD.

Just kidding, but yeah that is something they should have caught and edited....

I would find it quite interesting to hear a past match commentated by todays team of Cole and JBL, but not if Cole is gonna bugger it up

Damn, why bother replacing the original commentary, especially with Cole? Jesse Ventura was on the commentary team for this one; Jesse Ventura on commentary means substantial royalties to Jesse Ventura. The WWE does everything it can to avoid paying royalties. See 24/7, WWE, even its infancy, where it dubbed over Hogan's WCW "American Made" theme and replaced it with a generic porn sounding theme, as well as cutting out the Jimmy Hart penned "American Males". Lesson? Anything that costs WWE extra money to license will be historically replaced in future offerings. -Ian |

Hmmm, they deserve a round of applause for that! |

Why is Cole so quick to rush death sentences on wrestlers from the past?

If they got rid of Hogan's "American Made" music, I'm gonna cry, because I honestly like American Made over "Real American".

Rather than paying him royalties (which are traditionally very small percentages of what's taken in - I remember Emo Phillips showing his royalties check for UHF as being 6 cents) for his work (and preserving their own history, btw), they eliminate or redub, which ruins the DVD, IMO. And if everyone knows they're sub-par, will they buy as many as they would with all the original stuff included? |

Here's a real life example: I have specifically saved up money MANY times to buy the Wrestlemania anthology. But every time I get to the store, and get it in my hands, I know it is edited and force myself to not buy it. This has happened three times now. I guess it doesn't hurt, though, that I already have all of the WM's on DVD, albeit transfered from VHS. -Ian |
