Would You Buy A WWE Blooper DVD?

[Yrrab]

Yes! A DVD filled with botches and interviews with the offending superstars would be fantastic. Owen Hart falling to his death, eh, I could probably do without. The Chris Benoit video on youtube from a few years ago was hilarious enough, but definitely tasteless. To each his own?

Hats off to WZ's best heel. He knows how to generate that heel heat. Look at all of you falling for it. Every time. There truly is a sucker born every minute. That's why Cena has any fans.

I think he personally enjoys having threads deleted and posted in the trash section or whatever its called. Maybe he gets a thrill out of Admins deleting/locking his threads. You can tell just from some of his threads and the Owen statement he isn't right.

As far as his idea goes. At least it is a decent idea if you remove the comical death of Owen part. With WWE having the Youtube show Are you Serious i could see them making a dvd release of it if it turns successful. They pretty much go back and make fun of bad gimmicks and mistakes on it already. If its successful i could see em doing more with it.

Owen Hart dude? Really? I'm not even gonna get into that. Your a sick f**k, I hope life gives you everything you deserve. And a horrific STD to go with it.

Now, on to the point. I would buy this DVD. There's a series someone does on Youtube now, titled "Off The Air - What They Don't Want You To See" (it's either don't, or didn't...I can't remember). There's several installments, and they are hysterical! It's alot of pre-show banter between Raw announcers, but there's some funny in-ring and promo footage as well.

What the fuck is wrong with the two people that would want to put Owen's death and The Benoit double murder suicide on a blooper DVD, How can you even remotely think like that you two are sick in the head and you two need some fucking help, Jesus Christ.

Even though it's already been thoroughly covered in this thread, this bears repeating: the idea of putting Owen Hart's death on a "WWE Blooper DVD" is fucking ridiculous. IMHO, it's never okay to poke fun at anyone's death like that, especially in such a public manner (such as speaking about it "comically" on a "blooper" DVD). That sort of thing would only anger just about anyone & everyone, and it's just morally wrong (at least to me, and I'd have to bet the majority of human beings in general). Owen's death was far too tragic to be included on a DVD intended to make the audience laugh. Same thing with Benoit's situation, etc. Obviously events like that were just flat-out heartbreaking, and it would be deplorable of the WWE to call something like that a "blooper" for Christ's sake.

Obviously the OP just wants some negative attention, he must know that mentioning Owen Hart's death and the word "blooper" in the same breath is pretty much unforgivable (in the eyes of most people). He's just like a little kid who just wants attention...he doesn't care if that attention is positive or negative, as long as others are paying attention. Obviously he got his intended result, because it pissed a lot of people off. Bravo, way to make light of a horrible tragic event.

Having said all of that, I'll take the question of a tasteful WWE blooper DVD seriously:

The first thought that crossed my mind when I read the title of this thread was "Why would the WWE want to expose their past mistakes to their audience?". You would think that the WWE would want to ignore their errors from the past, and hope that the fans would forget about them too. You'd think that Vince's ego would be too big to release such a DVD, and he'd rather try to "cover up" the WWE's past blunders.

Just like itbewilly already mentioned here, the WWE is already producing something pretty similar to the OP's original idea (minus the horrible comment about Owen Hart's death, of course). The WWE is already doing their youtube show "Are You Serious?"...which is pretty much the same thing as what the OP is/was talking about (at least it's the only part worth speaking about). I'm actually surprised that itbewilly was the first to mention the youtube show, and that "Are You Serious?" wasn't even mentioned until post number 20.

Obviously, the content of that show ("Are You Serious?" on youtube) is entirely comprised of WWE's past bloopers, mistakes and other miscellaneous "bad ideas" (eg: bad gimmicks, segments, promos, etc). I would have to imagine that the original idea was to put this show on the WWE's TV network (or OnDemand channel or whatever), but since the release date of the WWE Network got pushed back they put it on youtube instead. Maybe not, maybe a short youtube show (5 mins or so per "episode") was the plan all along; possibly to see if there was an audience for this kind of stuff. Simple internet research would have told them that there definitely is an audience that would watch this stuff, since the wrestling bloopers that are already on youtube (that others have already mentioned and/or linked in this thread) have earned a healthy amount of views over the years.

Even though it might seem like a crazy idea for the WWE to release a DVD like this (exposing their past mistakes and/or bad ideas), I could TOTALLY see the WWE doing it. If there's money to be made from it, you know they'd be willing to do it. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw a DVD release titled "The Very WORST of: Are You Serious? (as seen on youtube)" in the future. Obviously there would have to be a LOT more episodes of the youtube show before we'd see a DVD release (the DVD would have to have a running time of at least 45 mins or so...two hours or more would be better).

Hell, I could also easily see the WWE releasing one DVD every year or so in the future anyway ("Are You Serious?" Season One, Season Two, etc). If the WWE knows that the fans are watching "Are You Serious?" on youtube for free anyway, they would probably figure out that they could make a nice little profit on DVD sales too. If you think the WWE wouldn't release at least some (if not all) of their new youtube shows on DVD eventually, you're crazy. Like I already said: if the WWE thinks that there's money to be made from releasing a light-hearted, tasteful DVD of "bloopers", they'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm actually surprised they hadn't done something like this before now (with "Are You Serious?" on youtube). I know there were other DVDs already released with the same kind of content (wrestling bloopers), but not one actually released by WWE. You'd think since the WWE owns the rights to all of WCW's & ECW's past footage, they would have done something like this already. It seems like a no-brainer, and they should have done that years ago. A WWE "Wrestling Bloopers" DVD would sell for sure.

the benoit comment was directed at the owen comment as a manner of drawing attention of the absurdity of the thought of making Owen's death fall "comical"

[TheExceLLenceOfExecution]

im pretty sure they release five minute clips every week on youtube about the worst things wwe has ever done.. road dogg is the host..

but dude.. seriously.. how the HELL could you even think in any way shape or form that owens death could be looked at in a humorous way?

you really need to take a look at yourself if you were serious about that
