Yeah, I was thinking about getting one of the History of Summerslam DVDs, but they are a bit on the pricey side. Lots of good stuff available through torrents, which sadly seems to be the only way to get hold of a lot of the older PPVs (pre2007) these days, though it's probs better that we speak off forum about that. Might look at getting hold of the history of Starccade DVD actually, some great looking stuff on that.
Haha, looks good actually, will be revisiting this site when the old student loan comes in methinks. Like you say, the tagged classics series is particularly good value.
Yeah, just noticed that you can get WM2000 and X7 for about £12 each, would defo go for that. Thing I always disliked about the X7 DVD though, was that the "My Way" Limp Bizkit Soundtrack was dubbed out and one of their in house tracks was put over the top, totally changed the feeling of the entire event, which is the one reason that I will always prefer my VHS taped version, plus the fact that it was recorded liiiiive.
Haha really? If that's true then it ****ing sucks. Don't see why, it is arguably the most exposure outside of the US Bizkit ever had, they even did live shows for WWE so no idea why they would have wanted to cut ties, but ah well. Reminds me of all the old ECW DVDs where all the music for pretty much everyone was dubbed out and terrible disco/trance music was played over the top, funny, but also dire. I just remember when I was expecting to see Raven come out to the usual "come out and play" entrance music (wag) only to come out to some bassy ****, facepalmed. Miss Raven tbh, great worker, cut some of the best promos ever, one of my alltime faves.
They did indeed use Metallica, but again, on the DVD's it has been dubbed out, along with the crowd singing it, which is a crying shame, as it was an absolutely amazing moment, greta PPV actually, some awesome matches on there. Chris Jericho vs Lance Storm was great, Super Crazy vs Guido vs Tajiri was also amazing, Matsato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome was also a lot better than expected, Rhyno vs Sabu was just what you would expect from those two and there was also Eddie Guerrero vs Chris Benoit, top stuff, if you want a decent ppv to watch then I would seriously suggest you pick that up, I got my copy from Woolworths (RIP) for about £3.
Yeah indeed, certainly made the most of his talents, just a shame not everyone seemed to rate him. I quite enjoyed his run in WCW though, at least he did get a run at the head of a stable, though that was ultimately pointless in the end and finished with him and everyone in it getting buried, but then again, anyone who wasn't Goldberg, Hogan, Nash, Hall, Sting or friends of was.

Haha really? WAG, always assumed that honour would be held by Crash Holly.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing earlier to be honest. When he started he was a clean cut, honest and decent bloke. Nowadays, he seem's to be verging on mentally unstable, and just doesn't seem like the nice guy he used to be, which is very sad indeed. Him splitting with his wife just further shows the impact the wrestling business has on your life, hope it was all worth it Kurt.
Reading around the tinterweb I think he was a bit fruit loop before he got into pro wrestling but yeah all those pain killers, & WWE schedule did him no good at all.
