I went in the fYe at the mall the other day and I saw they still had WWE WrestleMania anthologies, and on sale to boot! I'm thinking about buying it, but was wondering if fellow WrestleCrappers thought the anthology was worth getting. Like I said, really really stupid question.  I mean, it's WrestleMania and I figure the early WrestleManias (before the Attitude era) would be a treat to watch and maybe worth the price alone. On the other hand, I've heard of music being dubbed over and/or missing, and really terrible blurring of the WWF scratch logo, and some WrestleManias being terrible. *puts flame-retardant suit on* Thoughts? |

ive always thought its really pointless buying these anthologies. once a new wrestlemania, summerslam etc. comes out, its out of date. if you dont want anything edited you should buy the original vhs tapes.

I thought about buying it, but decided against it because of the reasons you stated, it'd be excellent quality I'm sure, but yea, there are music substitutions, and they're not allowed to say "WWF" so it's edited out as well. So it's by no means a stupid question or anything, but if you're ok with the edits, and don't plan to buy the original vhs tapes, then it wouldn't be a bad investment

Don't bother. I rented 16-21, and not only did they eliminate all the unlicensed theme songs and replaced them with generics, there's no extras either!
Really, don't bother.

Wow, I didn't know they edited the more recent ones too- thought it was just the earlier ones they had trouble with as far as licenseing |

If your DVD player is multi region you could always get the Tagged Classics series (WM1 + WM2 etc) from www.silvervision.co.uk. I've not got them all but the ones I have (first 6 WM's '89 + '90 Survivor Series and '90 + '91 Summerslam) don't have any blurring or edits and unless the Coliseum VHS tapes of those events in the US had extras that weren't present on the UK versions they are identical to the original VHS releases. |

There wont be any blurs would there? Its just the scratch logo they blur. |

If you like the Manias buy them.... specially if you don't have any on DVD or your VHS tapes are getting worse for ware. Yes the themes are edited out but that's not a huge thing once the matches start. Like said above the Jesse Ventura commentary is still in.
I recommend them just fine. Specially if you get a good price.

I thought about that too. But if I'm not mistaken the Anthology covers WrestleManias 1-20, and about the time WrestleMania XX rolled around I quit watching WWE (I guess after Benoit won the title I felt complete.... or something....) So I figure I can deal with only having the first 20 'Manias.
I think I could probably live with the edits, I just figured it'd be a good idea to find out exactly what is edited. If it's like a typical WWE DVD I could probably live...
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
