March 31, 200916 yr comment_5438240 http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/12677.cfm Figured I'd post it here since we all love talking about the WWE vault. There was a article recently about one of the studios making their content available for DVD/Download. It wasn't cheap, but it was a lot of stuff that's never made it to DVD before and was about putting the control in the hands of the buyer. The WWE is likely to be very careful about their vault. I'm sure they want to monetize it. But they also have barely scratched getting it out there. 24/7 is in limited markets, and their online content remains fairly small considering the wealth of stuff they have. John
April 1, 200916 yr comment_5438244 I think they have to be agressive. Think about the Holllywood Legion matches out there, a lot of those guys had a name value back then but that has diminished to a great extent. And if WWE doesn't want a whole new batch of wrestlers to lose the value they have left they need to get their names back out there before they are entirely forgotten
April 1, 200916 yr comment_5438246 This would also be a pretty decent way to create a superficial jump in comparisons to last year or last quarter's numbers, something WWE is constantly seeking to do.
April 1, 200916 yr comment_5438248 HP is doing a bunch of neat stuff lately: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/30/technolo...rnet/30mag.html My brain thinks "Rippa and Dean are starting to write DVDVRs again. Why is the goyem Skeith the only one who has figured out how to make a profit from poorly edited writing?"

July 10, 201015 yr comment_5452971 I know Warner brothers and Nickelodeon have latche donto this concept. Nickelodean sells a bunch of seasons sets from their early 90's shows via print on demand through Amazon.com, and Warner brothers has a website set up where u can get a bunch of old movies that might not sell a ton of copies in stores. The only issue with soem of the warnerbrothers stuff is quality may not bet top notch as they put a disclaimer saying that they have used the ebst version available but didn't clean them up digitally or anything. The concept of WWE doing this with their vast library would be amazing. Especially if they came up with a way where you could make your own compilations if you wanted charaging so much per match, though I'm guessing match prices would vary. I doubt Flair/Steamboat going 60 minutes would sell for the smae price as an al Snow/Roa dogg amtch from raw.
