Five Classic WrestleMania Events Get UK DVD Re-Release
British fans of WWE may not get to experience the new WWE Network on Peacock, but now they'll have a new old way to relive classic WrestleMania moments. Freemantle, a company that releases classic WWE shows on DVD in the UK, has announced plans to rerelease five classic WrestleManias on DVD: WrestleMania XIV, WrestleMania 2000, WrestleMania XX, WrestleMania 22, and WrestleMania XXIV.
When these five DVDs are released on April 5th, that will mean UK fans can purchase a nearly unbroken run of WrestleMania DVDs from WrestleMania 14 to WrestleMania 36. The only one missing is WrestleMania 23, which some people say is the most sought-after WrestleMania DVD of all time, because it's the one that features former president and WWE Hall-of-Fame Donald Trump in the main event. Maybe once all the lawsuits for Trump's presidential misbehavior come home to roost, he'll be desperate enough to sign whatever WWE needs to get the show rereleased again. Plus, you know, justice will be served as a bonus.
The WrestleMania DVDs are available for preorder now. Check out the press release below:
