Was audio editing for WWE DVDs a norm?

[GD]

I am watching Wrestlemania 17 on DVD and the audio is heavily edited. Was it a norm for WWE to edit their videos in that era?

[Gertner]

Yeah, I remember seeing the Bushwhackers doing editing in Wrestlemania 6.

[DLVH84]

More likely, because of copyright reasons with various artists and record labels.

I hate watching my Anthology discs. So many great themes have been edited. Demolition is the main one that stands out for me.

I agree.

[KIRA]

Yea Goldbergs theme being edited out of dvds in favor of his wwe theme pisses me off to no end.

[Emperor Smeat]

I know they do it for certain themes since they only get the license as a one time use (ex. Sandman during ECW One Night Stand) or only had the rights for tv broadcast (ex. Taker's "Rolling" theme).

It's fucking annoying.

I feel like we have this discussion a lot here. This is the reason why the Wonder Years will never make it to BluRay or DVD.

The only thing I don't get is how they lose licenses on their own music. American Dream is edited out of WM6, Jive Soul Bro is edited out of 4-6, Demolition is edited out of 4-6 (they dropped the Derringer Theme when Ax left, so the theme they edited out wasn't Derringer's at 7.) Nearly all of those themes were on "Piledriver: The Wrestlemania Album Vol2" and on WM6 Piledriver itself was used for Koko.

Jive Soul Bro is pretty racist, so it might have been edited for good taste.

That was WrestleMania 7 in the "instant replay debate" that took bored the hell out of everybody.

Hogan's Jimi Hendrix theme was edited on Rock's new Blu-ray.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

For the WM18 match? If was Hogan/Rock II the theme is correct.

[GD]

Yeah. Their rematch at No Way Out 2003.

I know they do it for certain themes since they only get the license as a one time use (ex. Sandman during ECW One Night Stand) or only had the rights for tv broadcast (ex. Taker's "Rolling" theme).

Or just didn't think ahead and didn't bother to renegotiate.
