Good deals there but what is going on at Silvervision? Nearly everything they sell is up for sale!

[KK]

Featuring Roddy Piper in Alcatraz prison from WCW, the commentary from King of the Ring 1994 and Rick Martel's cologne.

Most Interesting thing from this video though is that the WWE are now blurring out the old WWF DOG/logo as well.

[KK]

Are they the only place that sell them (I mean, a lot of documenatries and older titles) or does anywhere else sell them?

Silvervision might be facing trouble because they aren't very well known if that's the case... who knows?

Silver Vision, known as Clear Vision elsewhere, is the licensee for the WWE in Europe, Middle East and Africa & has been since the late 80s. Therefore if Silver Vision were to go under, WWE Home Videos would no longer be available anywhere, & the Tagged Classics range would effectively be de-listed forever.

What divas that, I don't recognise her? She's hot, too

I think someone told me who it was in the Babe Thread but I can't remember.

Rey suspended for 60 days http://www.wwe.com/news/rey-mysterio-suspended

You'd think he'd have learned from Eddie Guerrero.

WWE.com have got another factually inaccurate article on their website...

A Guide to Sunday's Matches

With so many stipulations and so few regulations at this explosive event, WWE.com presents a handy cheat sheet that outlines the rules - such as they are - for each of Sunday’s brutal contests. Read on to learn more about the various match types you will be seeing Sunday and watch classic videos of each.

Chicago Street Fight

In his hometown of Chicago, CM Punk puts his WWE Championship on the line against Chris Jericho. Fittingly, the two “Best in the World” claimants will lock horns in a Chicago Street Fight.

The only way to win is by pinfall or submission. With no disqualifications and no count-outs, a Chicago Street Fight breaks down to which Superstar is able to incapacitate his opponent first. The first and only other match of this type took place at WrestleMania 13 and laid a foundation of brutality, as Ahmed Johnson and Legion of Doom battled The Nation of Domination in The Windy City.

Since the rivalry between Punk and Jericho has become so personal, this match will likely see both competitors take full advantage of the lack of rules and restrictions and turn it into a true Chicago Street Fight.

It should come as no surprise that this is not in fact the 2nd Chicago Street Fight in history, nor is it even the 2nd in the WWF. Just off memory Trish Stratus & Victoria had such a match on an episode of RAW in January 2003; Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne faced off against The Nasty Boys at Spring Stampede 1994; and Sting and Booker T teamed to take on the Road Warriors at Uncensored 95 (which was actually in Mississippi.). There's no doubt a load of others that have been billed as "Chicago".

Have been banished upstairs for the evening. Could somebody recommend a PPV to download from 2004 - 2010 (Didnt pay much attention to wrestling during that period)

I mention Rey Rey and he gets suspended for 60 days...Should have brought up Khali/Hornswoggle/Slater/Swagger

So did I! Should become a recurring segment every week.

Was Rey due to be back from injury soon, then?

We are back in business once again! Mockmaster is our reigning champion so he is now bound by champion rules. That is midnight Saturday as his deadline.

Also the deadline has been pushed forward for everyone else to midnight Sunday. That is one hour before the event starts. This is so we can also predict the free youtube match.

Thanks for the heads up Lucien.

I'm not actually that confident of him winning, I just keep thinking that they can't ignore how over he is but then I think on the other hand, this is the WWE.
