WWE Aquires Another Tape Library

CJ sent word that Ohio Valley Wrestling sent out this email this morning to its monthly TV tape buying customers:

We regret to inform you that after you receive the April 2006 OVW video, you will not be receiving anymore monthly videos after that.
WWE has acquired the complete OVW library and upon doing so we will no longer be offering any OVW products.

Your subscription would normally not end until June 2006 (2 months left) so we are offering three options to satisfy your investment:
I) refund by check for the remaining videos
2) we will offer you 3 DVDs of your choice from whatever is listed in DVD form on our website.
3) will will offer you 4 VHS of your choice from whatever is listed in VHS form on our website.

The shipping expenses are paid by OVW Internet Sales of course.

You must let me know asap what you would like to do as this must be taken care of promptly. You just need to respond back from this e-mail to me and I can get finish out your account.

I am sorry for any inconvenience.
OVW has always appreciated your support and patronage!

Julie
OVW Online Sales

I knew that WWE was in talks with OVW owners Danny Davis and Jim Cornette to get the rights to the footage. Now they have.

I'm suprised they didn't already own it to be honest.

They are affiliated, but the WWE doesn't own them. WWE signs new blood, OVW grooms them, WWE calls them up to the big leagues.

Maybe not directly, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they use OVW footage to introduce the "new blood" that ECW is expected to have. What I've read so far indicates that the ECW roster is going to be made up of ECW alumni as well as young guys from the WWE developmental system.

So, maybe we'll get video packages of the CM Punk/Brent "Gunner Scott" Albright feud to hype up Punk before his ECW debut. Actually, come to think of it, Punk would be an excellent fit in ECW. I think they should use Deuce Shade in ECW, too, since his dad was the first Eastern Championship Wrestling Champion back in the early 1990s.

I was also thinking earlier this week that it might be a good idea to have ECW "acquire" the Cruiserweight Title. Heyman's always had a knack for booking lightweight wrestlers, and maybe having him buy out that title and turn it into the next incarnation of the Television Title would be interesting. Maybe have Super Crazy win the Cruiser title from Helms this summer, then jump ship back to ECW, bringing the title with him.

Maybe they'll finally release that Doug Basham vs. Chris Benoit, Iron Man Match so you all won't think I'm crazy...

This sounds really stupid to me, as the footage really adds nothing. Unless you wanted to promote guys like Nick Dinsmore, Rob Conway, Doug Basham, Danny Basham, Ken Doane, Johnny Jeter, etc. It's not a bad idea, but I doubt the WWE will use it.
