EDGE FILM OUT THIS WEEK, ECW AND PUNK DVD UPDATES

Edge's WWE film "Bending the Rules" will have a short theatrical run this weekend in several markets. If anyone sees the film, feel free to send us a report. There's been talk of dropping theatrical runs of late, which were only being done as a way to insure Wal-Mart would carry the DVDs on an exclusive basis, according to one source.

Joey Styles wrote on his Twitter that the new WWE DVD will only feature footage from the original ECW. That's not what I had heard a few days back but they stand to sell more copies if there's only original footage. I would certainly push for the New Breed vs. Originals Extreme Rules match from ECW on SyFy to be included as it was by far the best match in the history of the "new" ECW. That stipulation was originally set for Wrestlemania 23 and then yanked as there was a fear that the eight man would burn out the crowd live before John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels, which is why the crazier bout ended up on ECW TV shortly after.

The "ECW's Biggest Matches" will also mark the first time any of the original ECW footage has been released in Blu-Ray format.

The current plan is to release the CM Punk DVD and Blu-Ray in September.

Seth Rollins commented on departed WWE developmental Diva Leah West via Twitter, writing, "she got what she deserved." Ouch! West was a Lance Storm trainee. I believe she was released in January.

Justin Credible was backstage visiting at Raw last night.
