Technical explanation, skip if you wish: I had a thought. Optical media has been around for a while, but they really seem to be working it in the past decade or so. We went from CDs with a maximum capacity of around 500 megs to dual layer DVDs with a capacity over 9 gigabytes. Now we have DL Blu-Rays with a capacity of 50 gigs. Not long ago they announced a triple layer HD-DVD with a 51 gig capacity. Not a big upgrade but it probably won't be long until others follow on the triple layer path. Meanwhile, compression gets better. I have 18 seasons of the Simpsons on my computer, and they add up to only 45 gigs. While a cartoon obviously has more leeway in video quality than a show with real live humans, 18 seasons would fit on one current day disc. Which brings me to my point...
Within the next optical disc format or two it'll be reasonably possible for them to start releasing box sets of not just PPV series but RAW and Smackdown. For instance releasing sets of discs with every RAW for a given year. Thoughts? Do you think WWE would ever do it even when the technology is available? Would you buy them?

Hell no. My favorite years, (1998-2000) would be blurred and edited to the point that they looked like utter shit.

I'd buy them. The only problem I can see is like Mr. Schlapowitz said, which is the damn blurring.

There's only one way to save this problem... Mark Henry vs. a Panda Bear. WINNER TAKES ALL!
Oh, and technically, I believe... the set could be released in America without any problems. It was the global expansion that got WWE in trouble in the first place.

It was the global expansion that got WWE in trouble in the first place. I think it's the other way around, but I'm not sure. Meaning, that WWE can use 'WWF' anywhere ... apart from the USA. This is why the recent Tagged Classics DVDs in the UK have no blurring.

I just figured they didn't care about the U.S., but rather overseas. It might be that the World Wildlife Fund had it's offices in London and that's why the court stuff was dealt with over there.
