Sure. They get in new stuff used all the time. I've seen newer PPVs recently and they were priced at 14.99. Also, newer bios and 3 disc sets have popped up.. for 17.99. Although, if you want to buy DVDs a year after their release date, then you'll probably save at least $6 per PPV/set. Buying used still presents the other problem of buying something in terrible shape. Buying new at FYE just depends on their sales. Recently I picked up Fatal 4 Way, TNA Sacrifice '10 and a used CD for $20 including tax because of FYE coupons and their discount card. If you want to wait, then go ahead. I just personally don't see the point. I might save $2 or pay the same price as I would've at FYE, Wal-Mart or even K-Mart (sometimes). @chester McFisticuffs how long you been collecting bro? You got a nice collection Thanks. I've picked up a few VHS off and on since the mid-late '90s and really started taking a huge interest in early 2003, after I got my first actual job. My collection has grown tremendously since then.

Would anyone else like to see a dvd about WWE behind the scenes? Like showing everything being imported into the arena like ring, trons, stage pieces, merchandise stands being set up. Then guys arriving to the arena backstage getting ready. Basically what goes into making an episode of Raw or a PPV. Basically showing the arena being setup with comments and interviews from staff members, refs, etc. You could show guys backstage talking and getting pumped up. Obviously in a kayfabe type thing but WWE has shown that they will occasionaly be "real" like with the Heartbreak and triumph interviews. Id love something like this. Then show wrestlers after their match being interviewed like sitting in the locker room resting while in their gear still or whatever.
What do you guys think? I personally would love something like this.

I personally would love something like this. Yes please. They did something similar to this in Magazine form..... but its not video The closest is Mania of Wrestlemania, but it still didnt get as deep as your referring to. Its a DVD idea thats got more potential than we know what to do with. I wouldnt want it in kayfabe though. Theres not much to kayfabe on DVD's like that. In the Hogan Knows Best episode where Nick goes to RAW and Hogan gets inducted, are the best episodes in the whole series just because they show us a side unseen of WWE.

I personally would love something like this. For like the past eight years, every time one of those "What DVD do you want to see?" threads came up, I've always posted the same thing over and over. I want to see a DVD that shows entirely what goes into the making of a single show. Doesn't matter to me if it's regular TV or a PPV, though I'd prefer a PPV because they could show the entire month's worth of creative meetings which would explain what matches made it on the card, why other matches weren't included, and what they hoped would be the ultimate goal of the PPV. Creative meetings and writers' room discussions are mainly what I want to see. But beyond that, I'd like to see the wrestlers meeting with their road agents to discuss their role for the night and how they plan to lay out their match. Then also stuff like seeing the ring crew set up the arena and the pyro guys testing the pyro. Maybe some interviews with wrestlers and even fans in the arena to discuss how the show came off to them, whether it was a success or not. Then it ends with them tearing everything down and heading off to another city just to do it all again. I highly doubt we'll ever get that, but I can dream.

I personally would love something like this. I'd watch that. I'm sure WWE would do a great job with it, too. Kinda like Behind the Scenes of Tough Enough that I picked up recently for $3. I still need to watch that. As it relates to FYE, oddly enough I just had a conversation with the manager of a store near me who said that it's possible that they won't renew the leases on the two stores near me at the beginning of next year, which means I'd have to go to Knoxville to pick up stuff. I had wondered what was up with all the sales and lack of caring about wrestling stuff. They have scaled back and carrying wrestling recently, even WWE stuff. That's a shame. I guess it'll be back to Wal-Mart, then. Or maybe Best Buy.

FYE is the most overpriced store, and IMO, they can't afford to be dropping anything. Especially wrestling DVDs which can be hard to come by for some. All but one of the FYE stores in my area closed years ago, and I'm amazed this one is still holding on. I don't really understand the manager's explanation. Moving away from things like wrestling and animation to focus on major movies? They already get all the major releases, and they're all $5-10 more than any other store. Seriously, a DVD on sale at FYE is usually the SRP at Target or Walmart. Truthfully, other than the BOGO sale, I haven't resorted to FYE for wrestling DVDs for years. I think the last one I bought there was the exclusive WM24 tin. Yet, FYE is always great as a last resort place for any DVD really; not just wrestling. If I'm in the mood for something in particular and don't want to wait for it to be sent to me by ordering online, I'll head to FYE and they'll typically have what I'm looking for. But Walmart usually has the wrestling DVDs for around $15, and though I hate going into that store (my Walmart is always PACKED with customers and lacking in number of employees, no matter what time of day I go in), I usually buy my DVDs there for that reason. I don't know about K-Mart in my area because the only time I bought any wrestling DVDs there was last year when they had The Bash and GAB'08 packaged together for like $15 or so. I just wish Best Buy would lower their prices to Walmart's prices. The PPVs are usually $20 there. Considering they get exclusive deals with WWE, I wish their prices were better. However, it's really all a moot point for me until next June or so at least, since I have the free trial of Amazon Prime. That's now my main source for all purchases. Free two-day shipping and Blu Ray prices that are cheaper than any stores around me. Their wrestling DVDs can be a little more expensive than Walmart's prices (PPVs from this year range strangely from $14.99-19.99, whereas Walmart always prices them about $15) but my Walmart doesn't always get the new ones in right away. For example, they may not get Fatal Four Way or Money in the Bank until Summerslam comes out. So it's a toss up really.

It's funny.....whenever i'm in FYE (Which is rare) the only sections I ever see people near are horror and the Wrestling/UFC area. So if they really wanna rid themselves of it, fine.....now i'll have zero reason to go in there.

My situation is I can grab the new releases from Walmart for WWE, but if I want a DVD I missed or am looking for TNA DVDs, typically I'll go to the Suncoast movies about 30 minutes away (due to the fact local FYEs & On Cue's being put out of business).

Yes! I just won KOTR like new condition on Ebay for < $20 shipped! Some pendejo thought they would beat me with $16.44... Yeah right! I was going to go up to like $23 for this one but it ended at under $17 + $3 shipping. Really happy now all I really need from 01 [that was officially released on dvd] is Backlash!

I understand where FYE is coming from though...
I mean, if they dropped WWE DVD's, I would never go out of my way to go there again. It just becomes... your typical movie store.
But having WWE DVD's puts in in a small list of carriers, and then if they had exclusives, they could potentially be the Top carrier. Exclusives kind of are a dying thing for WWE DVD's. Real exclusives too, like Extra Disc exclusives, not "Were gonna package Brets first DVD.. and the new hart DVD... and call it an exclusive" Whoop-de-doo lmao.

I am wondering if this is the best place to show pics of your DVD collection. I have a ton of DVDs and I would like to get a little feedback on the collection.

Definitly here bro.
You could technically make a thread for it if you wanted, but you'll get alot of feedback from actual collectors that frequently visit here if you post in this thread.

I pretty much agree with all your choices, exept the King Of the Ring 1999 cover.

I didn't mind it so much as a kid, but really it's just a generic "floating heads" design on plain black background. There were so many great VHS covers back then, that they could have done a lot better with it.

Even though new wrestling DVDs there were overpriced, you could find plenty of bargains in their used section and they always had a better selection than Worst Buy or Walmart.
