WWE's already got a huge portion of their vault digitized so there wouldn't be THAT much extra work, and they don't HAVE to offer custom DVD covers if they don't want to. (Maybe use some kind of Flash "cover maker" for fans who want to print their own covers at home.)

Anyway, I see a huge revenue stream from very little effort.

I wish comic book companies would do the same for print-on-demand TPBs.

Well, in theory it sounds like a great idea, but I don't know how their royalty fees go and if they have the rights to do something like this (even though they own the rights to various non-WWE companies, they might not be able to distribute them in this way and contracts might need to be reworked or whatever the same way older shows have trouble getting on Netflix some times) plus they'd have to go through and deal with various music rights with things like ECW and other older stuff where they might not have everything sorted yet. So maybe the cost of dealing with all that sort of stuff would make it prohibitive or lead to a more limited selection, but it's something they should definitely look into doing (if they haven't already) and it's something I think fans would be interested in.

There is nothing worse than WWE's edited ECW stuff with all the music changed. I'd rather watch VHSrips (and do).

Slightly less obnoxious but still infuriating is every fucking Attitude Era video with the fucking WWF logo blurred out. Jesus christ.

That being said, it boggles my mind that WWE doesn't offer season sets of their TV. They could sell a season of RAW for like $200 and people would buy it.

Yeah but I like all the custom DVD cases and covers they do. It's worth it to me, to have something nice to put on the shelf.

What I don't get is why WWE doesn't package their high quality, digitized film masters into some kind of sets and sell them. I mean, I get that they sell a shitload of the two or three DVD sets like History of the Championship or whatever, but I have to believe there are hardcore fans just dying to give WWE like $100-$200 per season for TV sets. Do they not like money?

I think it's because when they did something similar, it didn't sell.

You mean that laughable BEST OF SEASONS 1 & 2 set?

Or, as I like to call it, THE BEST OF DOINK THE CLOWN?

Having someone else pick your moments for you is nothing like experiencing them yourself.

The music change sucks. It's like that for the DVDs of 21 Jump Street. It's very annoying.

Akira Raijin, whom most of you will remember as Kiyoshi in TNA, is back in All Japan Pro Wrestling performing under a mask. His new identity -- SUSHI

I watched this show this afternoon. The main event, Shinsuke Nakamura vs Hirooki Goto, for the IWGP Heavyweight Title, is excellent. If you can only watch one match, watch that one. I would recommend that you watch the entire show if you can though.
