Bad News About Future WWE Blu-ray Releases - Blu-ray Forum

WWE DVD distributer Genius Products is in serious financial peril after being de-listed for the over the counter board after the company failed to release a third quarter fiscal report. Genius Products lost $11.7 million in the second quarter. This affects WWE as they had plans to start regularly releasing Blu-ray discs late last year, but with the financial problems
Genius had, they weren't able to make the shift. While Blu-ray releases are still considered a niche market, WWE officials weren't happy with UFC beating them to the marketplace with them.

This sucks, I hope they find a new distributor.

Is that me of distributors are crashing left and right since the last 6 months?

I figured the problem would be the content on the discs themselves. WWE is nothing like it used to be.

WWF/ECW/WCW video cassettes > WWE blu-ray

Unless WWE plans to release old stuff on BD.

I hope they release WM13 on blu so i can watch austin vs. hart "i quit" match, in my opinion the greatest match of all time

I gotta say, the best matches of all time are..

Stone Cold vs. Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania

Undertaker vs. Mankind, Hell in a Cell match

Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart, Iron Man match

Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels, Ladder match (2nd one)

Genius also distributes Weinstein dvds and Blu-rays I believe. Bad news all around.
