[quote name=\'chris319\' date=\'Jul 14 2003, 03:14 PM\'] I'm embarassed to watch wrestling any more. Just recently I saw a one-legged wrestler almost kiss Vince McMahon's bare nekkid butt on WWE. That was enough of that. [/quote]
You got me there. I wince whenever McMahon pulls out the \"Kiss-My-Ass Club\" angle yet again.
But then there are the Rey Mysterios of the world who make up for it. And that one-legged kid (in an ass-kicking contest, no less!) is actually an incredible wrestler when he's in an actual match. :)

Just before Raw airs, I'd like to say that for some reason, my dad prefers wrestlers that do power moves over smaller wrestlers. Big Show is a sterling example. I just watched the Shawn Michaels DVD. He did crazy stuff in his prime during the mid '90s. I almost prefer that DVD over my Hulk Still Rules DVD, except that it needed a few more matches and other tech issues w/ the DVD.
NOSTALGIA~!
ObGameShow: WCW and WWF were on Combs Feud. Not at the same time though.

Is this \"From The Vault\" that you speak of? I may have to pick that up, if so. I REALLY enjoyed Hulk Still Rules, and if you say this comes close, it may be worth it. Does it have the Montreal Screwjob on it?
What are the tech issues you had with it?

Yes, the Shawn Michaels DVD is \"From the Vault\"
First and foremost, I watch DVDs w/my computer and an el-cheapo 5.1 home theater setup (RCA bookshelf speakers, low-end Pioneer receiver, modded Sony subwoofer, Phillips soundcard w/SPDIF output, and an 19-in. monitor)
The video quality on \"From the Vault\" is only a slight improvement than the Hogan DVD, but it's still disappointing. This is due to a low bitrate hovering around 3 MBits or so. This leads to a blockier presentation on my monitor, thus leading me to believe that something went wrong when the source materials was mastered and transferred to DVD. Unfortunately, I have three WWE DVDs and they all share this problem.
Also, I believe \"From the Vault\" is the first WWE DVD done in 5.1 surround instead of plain 2.0 stereo. However, all three front channels contain the announcer's commentary and the crowd noise with little support in the surround channels. The LFE channel is virtually nonexistant, leading me to worrry whether my sub's amp was blown. The little vignettes they do before the matches has a better and more appropriate audio presentation.
The more I think about it, the more I lean on returning it.
I hope nobody's head is spinning from reading this.

(ObGameshow: I think Shokus Video has some of their game show compilations on DVD now.)

Far from it...I'm somewhat of a DVD afficianado myself, and that's exactly the kind of information I wanted. Thanks!
