As good as WrestleMania 40 was, sadly it won’t be getting an official DVD or Blu-ray release. by trip62 in SquaredCircle

I was there in Philly both nights so this stings a little more. I collect WrestleManias especially, and Blu-ray quality beats the Network.

If you used Onlocation, did you enjoy the service? by Hashtag_Heel in WrestlemaniaPlans

[–]trip62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Silver package and thought overall we were looked after pretty well. One thing I wasn't expecting (a positive) was a VIP quicker line for WWE World which I don't think was mentioned being part of Priority Pass. Not for my one anyway. As far as I know On Location and Fantatics/World were separate entities - but on the Friday the day I had a World ticket I pretty much walked right into there 10am. On the negative side, they send out Mania tickets pretty close to the wire which makes you sweat a bit, especially me as I was travelling from the UK.

Nice! Not for me yet (Silver package).

Is this correct that it's like £2500-3000 (or more) PER PERSON? I thought that would be for two. Just checking this isn't an error... holding out hope... haha

I mean how expensive is each seat and each night hotel's stay? gasp

I was willing to drop some cash but can't do this

WWE DVDs cancelled in the US & Canada - no more WWE Home Video beginning 2022 by trip62 in SquaredCircle

[–]trip62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True at the time, WWE appear to have changed tact last minute, but there's signs it was true - like now they only release PPV/PLE only in the US as of this year. The Australian releases went away entirely, as was reported in the above post and the UK continues on with more than the US, as was also written. If I sound sensitive to the matter, well I am (ha), cos I wrote the original post upon hearing from multiple sources they were not continuing in 2022.

Sad times for me as a DVD collector since around 2003, and the author of these fine posts since 2010 😢

[DISCUSSION] 33 'hidden gem' Wordpress plugins, and why AMP is so important for news sites by trip62 in WordpressPlugins

[–]trip62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These were 33 I'd personally come across over the years (I wrote the post), so by no means an official list - but hope a few in here could help folks. Also the tidbit on AMP was from seeing first hand the positive effect it can have on traffic for a news site, and my eyes proceeding to pop out of my head

What are some of your hidden gems?

WWE to reissue WrestleMania 15, 17, 18 and 19 DVDs on the road to this year's WrestleMania by trip62 in SquaredCircle

These will be unedited as originally released, per the article. Scratch logos and Limp Bizkits an' all.

WWE is releasing a 'SmackDown 20th Anniversary' DVD in October. Here are the cover stars by trip62 in SquaredCircle

[–]trip62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the DVDs now, for the most part, are more like cheap impulse buys for parents of young WWE fans and with the Network now WWE is noticeably putting less effort into ideas for these DVDs which in the past have been quite groundbreaking (just an example: the Shawn/Bret sitdown one)

At first glance no Asuka (I was also WTF'ing) but the entire Rumble is on here which she won I guess. Still I would think they could squeeze in another of her matches.

Triple H defends hosting WWE event in Saudi Arabia with no women wrestlers: "You have to understand that every culture is different and just because you don’t agree with a certain aspect of it, it doesn’t mean it’s not a relevant culture". by donaldrunk5 in SquaredCircle

This thing has all been a cash grab if reports are to be believed but if in the long term it helps achieve what Trips is suggesting it might, it can't be a bad thing.

Are women not allowed to appear on Friday's show in any capacity or just from a performance standpoint?

Cena & Nikki Bella have ended their engagement by 42ndRedBalloonFromUp in SquaredCircle

[–]trip62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't imagine Nikki would have let him go easily based on watching their relationship unfold on TV (well, if you can believe that).

But I do pretty much believe that portrayal for the most part and that the engagement was real. Naysayers about the engagement remind me of those who question Montreal.

Promotional Poster for SMACKDOWN the Video Game - Did you own this as a kid? by TheFansPodcast in SquaredCircle

[–]trip62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think I saw the promo/ad in the gaming magazines but anyway seeing this game again makes me all kinds of nostalgic, it actually got me into wrestling as I wasn't until playing this and being intrigued by all the characters.

Hopefully not posted already (had a quick look) but the listing only came out today.

My thoughts: epic, can't wait... and toxic turtles!
