Sounds good, thought they would of done this a bit later and included 27 in there seeing as how close to the release it is. On the other hand it does help in the build up I guess.

MasterSandman · 01-15-2011, 08:04 PM

Cool! I'll be picking this up.

Alpha · 01-15-2011, 09:10 PM

Is WWE high on BD releases today or what? lol

This will be on of the only ones I'll actually be picking up. Not a fan of the new DX documentary, and the newer PPV's hardly have replay value.

DetroitSportsFan · 01-15-2011, 09:17 PM

Sounds interesting. I'm hoping for a long, in-depth documentary.

Minimejer05 · 01-15-2011, 09:18 PM

They need to release The Mania of Wrestlemania on Blu.

Ite · 01-15-2011, 09:20 PM

Has anyone watched any old footage of WWE on Blu yet? Wonder how good the transfer is for older stuff.

Gardenofstone10 · 01-15-2011, 09:34 PM

Can't wait for this one

Basically DVD quality, maybe a very little bit better. You can only do so much with 480i videotape.

Oh cool thanks bro.

Seems like WWE are going to release all their ppv and other DVDs on Blu-ray.

- Royal Rumble an Elimination Chamber are confirmed and also read those will be Blu-ray + DVD combo releases.

- DX: Final Conflict, Wrestlemania Story and Rock/Austin Rivalry have also been confirmed.

Looks like it will be a great year for WWE Blu-rays.

bmogav · 01-17-2011, 02:01 AM

This one doesn't really excite me I own all the WMs. I've heard them talk about WM on the Legends of Wrestling round table discussion on the 24-7 channel so it's a pass. WWE just trying to get more money right before WM 27 by releasing something on WM, don't get me wrong they will make money on this Blu Ray probably a lot just not my money

This is great. I think WWE might be the best representation of Blu-Ray quality. They look amazing!

That was a 60 minute conversation with 5 guys. This sounds more like a documentary about all of the Wrestlemanias. 540 minutes of total content sounds good to me. We'll have to wait to get the official specs.

Dxtra30 · 01-17-2011, 08:39 PM

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, huge wrestling fan..
Anybody have WWE: Best Pay-per-View Matches 2009-2010 on Blu Ray for USA/Region 1 ? I've seen most if not all matches wondering if it's worth the $20 PLUS price tag now?

Yeah I know I'm just not holding my breath prob a 2 hour at most documentary and a bunch of matches that look as good as the old footage on the WM26 Blu Ray. Bonus footage like the Jake the Snake vs Million Dollar Man WM 6 match footage wasn't that great but only so much you can do with stock 20 year old standard def footage.
