September 15, 201213 yr comment_5514634 Isn't the whole thing with the fancam that the rights were signed away in exchange for the actual filming and use of the footage. It was a cost saving device by Heyman. WWE may be able to ask to use any of the footage whenever they want (even that I don't know about) but they don't own the rights to it? i could be way off but you guys are going around in circles, so, I'm at least positing my undrestanding of the situation.
September 15, 201213 yr comment_5514636 Yeah, when Dylan said that just then I immediately wondered if it was a sort of deal where they'd reached a separate peace with the fan-cammers sprouting out of whatever weird arrangement Heyman had in the 90s. If that's the case I'd be pretty concerned.
September 15, 201213 yr Author comment_5514640 RF owns the rights to the FanCams and actually (apparently) has some weird deal where he can license the tv/ppv's also. They have paper work on everything. They chose to only use the FanCams for a variety of reasons.
September 15, 201213 yr comment_5514642 That's really cool. I'm still worried about the WWE just saying "fuck it" and filing a flimsy lawsuit anyway out of spite a la the "We're Using Our Hegemonic Position In The Industry To Force Bubba Ray Dudley Into Using A Fire Pro Name" deal but it's great that they already have done the homework.
September 15, 201213 yr Author comment_5514643 I suspect if WWE was going to sue they would have already.
September 20, 201213 yr comment_5514987 Good news for the producers and bad news for me. As of 14 hours ago they hit their target. I know it because I've just gone to contribute and have left it too late. I don't suppose you know, Dylan, whether the DVD will be purchasable for people who didn't pay by Kickstarter, do you? I'd love to get my hands on a copy.
September 20, 201213 yr Author comment_5514989 It will be available for sale to anyone once it is released.
February 14, 201312 yr Author comment_5535293 So what's new on this? Name of the movie is Barbed Wire City. Premiere is set for April 20th in Philly
February 14, 201312 yr comment_5535299 So what's new on this? Name of the movie is Barbed Wire City. Premiere is set for April 20th in Philly Of course they'd premiere it on 4/20.
March 19, 201312 yr Author comment_5539450 Premiering in the ECW Arena on April 20th. Announced as of today. Really excited about this.
March 19, 201312 yr comment_5539460 The same way he sells WWE or Highspots merchandise, not as an RF Video production.
March 19, 201312 yr comment_5539466 I'm interested in the final product, but I hope the people who put together the DVD will be very liberal with outtakes and such.
March 23, 201312 yr comment_5539752 Really into my wrestling documentaries, so interested to see this one eventually. It's yet another ECW doc, but this one looks slightly different due to the 2001 filming which should be quite interesting to watch. Wish I knew about Kickstarter at the time though as I've only gotten into it over the last month or so, certainly would have backed this.
March 26, 201312 yr comment_5539945 I'm interested in the final product, but I hope the people who put together the DVD will be very liberal with outtakes and such. I am pretty sure they have enough outtakes to make a 2nd movie. Should be plenty of extras available in some form of release.

You can order it from here like you would any other DVD: http://www.barbedwirecity.com/store/index....b1637c44fd39492 I am pretty sure they have enough outtakes to make a 2nd movie. Should be plenty of extras available in some form of release. Johnny has been very generous in terms of uploading bonus footage for Kickstarter members too. More than any other project that I am a backer of by a long mile.
March 26, 201312 yr comment_5539960 Anyone else beyond bored of hearing about ECW? What more can be possibly said about it?
March 27, 201312 yr comment_5540084 If you were bored of ECW why would you post in an ECW thread? Some people just fucking LOVE to be miserable dicks hating on everything left right and centre.
March 28, 201312 yr comment_5540167 Anyone else beyond bored of hearing about ECW? What more can be possibly said about it? Althougth I'm no longer really interested in ECW. Personally I am interested in what Ted Petty had to say.
