I am the cheap kind, so waiting for a dvd rip- in more ways than one, if you get my drift.

Shawn Michaels vs. Russ Greenberg
June 7, 1993

What is the significance of this? Glad to see the 10-man tag that got bumped from Wrestlemania X has a home on a DVD.

yup.:y:

Shawn Michaels vs. Russ Greenberg

First match on RAW since losing the IC title to Marty?

[CSL]

That Bret/Kid title match should be featured, not tucked away on the extras. It's excellent.

[Domino]

No.

If anyone has a bunch of old Raws/Nitros on tape though I would pay a ton for that.

[Xero]

If they make it that far, I will buy 1996-2002.

Though I'd obviously prefer it blurless and complete.

[VSG]

@XL: Its on sale at WWEShop.com at $19.99. Even with shipping, it might be cheaper than 18 GBP.

[VSG]

Btw Xero, who was that guy you bought DVD's and CD's off?

[Xero]

http://coreystapes.com/

He actually has every RAW up to 2002.

[Droford]

lol at this: (http://www.ironmagazine.com/blog/2010/supplement-company-owner-gets-20-years-in-jail/)

Supplement Company Owner Gets 20 Years In Jail
by Johnny Justice
Former WWF Wrestler “Ross Greenberg” is known in the supplement industry just as Russ Greenberg. Not Ross but Russ! He’s a fun loving guy you see at all the major trade shows in the supplement industry and is without a doubt one of the most connected guys in the Florida supplement scene where he lives. If shit goes down in Florida, Russ Greenberg knows about it first and tips me off right away!
Who Is Russ Greenberg?
Russ Greenberg used to wrestle in WWF for a number of years and travelled the world meeting all kinds of opponents. He never made it to the top as a champion but he got beat by some of the best! His 3 claims to fame while in WWF include:

1. He was leg dropped and pinned by Hulk Hogan.
2. He got a Piledriver by Mr. Wonderful!
3. He got electrocuted by The Mountie after his match (to see this one click HERE).
Well Russ is NOT the man going to jail, he’s the dude that tipped me off to a supplement scam right in his back yard!

[VSG]

That "click here" part doesn't work even in there. Talk about a hotlink train :nono:

[Anybody Thrilla]

That Bret/Kid title match should be featured, not tucked away on the extras. It's excellent.

Pretty sure that match is on the Bret Hart DVD, so that may have something to do with that.

The biggest selling point of this DVD (for me) would be the Doink matches, and I'm not even kidding.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, I will eventually get it. I'd rather have this then all the Raw's from that era. Most of the Raw' were terrible and it's easier to sit through the best of rather then the entire thing

[Emperor Smeat]

I thought they were originally going to release the dvd sets as actual whole episodes and not as a "Best Of" series.

So all the RAW episodes of "Season 1" would be there even though it would mean a higher price for the set.

They were going to but they decided against it. I guess it was a pricing issue.

[Loose Cannon]

and they prob would not sell as much of those, especially 93-96. I could see 97-2001 selling well though

[Xero]

For sure.

[Domino]

http://coreystapes.com/

He actually has every RAW up to 2002.

I'm guessing he doesn't sell them anymore.

[VSG]

I'm guessing he doesn't sell them anymore.

If you say so.

[YoungFlyFlashy]

How does one go about purchasing from him? I see it says "informational purposes only", which may just be a smoking mirror. So how would I go about buying?

[YoungFlyFlashy]

On topic: Yes I will get this.

[Xero]

Email him and ask for info.

Currently doing disks for $2 if you buy 10 or more.

[YoungFlyFlashy]

WOW, ok. I'm def getting that HBK stuff....Amazing....thanks.

[Domino]

Email him and ask for info.

Got his address?

[Loose Cannon]

Just to add something, I've been buying from Corey for about 10 years now and the guy is awesome.

He may take a couple weeks to get you your disks, but he's got a ton of orders to fill. I just ordered another 12 disks on Monday. Great service, great selection

Just drop him an e-mail and send payment via paypal. Then send him your address. Here's his e-mail: gnagus@verizon.net

[TazFTW86]

yup. I got mine at FYE for free too...they have a sale, buy any WWE DVD and get one free! (the cheaper price DVD is marked down to free, so it was on sale for $22.00, bought another DVD for 23 to get the RAW collection free)

[Domino]

Thanks. I'd love to have a lot of stuff, but nothing more than the classic Raws and Nitros.

[Danny Electric]

I may get this just for old memories. This was around the time that I used to have Sky.

[Cool King]

If they make it that far, I will buy 1996-2002.

Though I'd obviously prefer it blurless and complete.

Ditto.

Those blurs annoy the hell out of me. They wouldn't bother me if they weren't so big and blatant. Why not just put a black mark over the logos. Afterall, the backdrop of the WWF logo's are black, so it wouldn't be that noticeable. The only WWF logo I can think of that would have a normal blur would be the WWF.COM sign over the entrance way.

[Cool King]

I see it says "informational purposes only", which may just be a smoking mirror.
