Royal Rumble, The Complete Anthology

[bigmackdaddy]

Is this worth the price, because I really want it.

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

Short answer: Yes

[WarriorWarrior]

Hardcore Holly is going to Wrestlemania 20!

[edgehead]

I really want it to, but my question is, how annoying is all of the blurs and censors over "WWF" logos?

[Bishblast]

If you've never seen the blur jobs, they're awful. I for one can't stand them.

I have definitely seen them. Some are less annoying than others.

[The Line]

I have never been bothered by the blurs(and I have both the WM and RR sets, and the McMahon DVD, so blurs-ahoy!), buit I am in the vast majority.

It depends on if you like the Rumble, and how much. The Rumble has been and probably always will be my favorite gimmick match, so it was a no-brainer for me.

[Bishblast]

I also don't know if any music is edited in the RR Anthology... I have 3 of the WM DVD sets and when music is replaced, it really hurts it for me. I, like many others, watch older wrestling for nostalgia puroposes... altering your memories, memories as vivid as entrance music, is nearly inexcusable to me... almost.

[The Line]

Some music is replaced, but its not quite as bad as the WM set, which was pretty lame when it came to music replacement.

[Fandjango Unchained]

Maven's music is edited.
The Oddities music is edited.

That alone makes this DVD set the victim of great heinosity.

[Dynamite Kid]

I've never given much of a crap about the blurs on any of the DVDs. Frankly, if the blurs alone are what's stopping you buying this set, you're an idiot. In fact I'd say that about anyone refusing to buy any of the current DVDs. It's just a bit of blurring. Yes it's annoying as hell, but you let that stop you from buying the often fantastic DVDs WWE's been putting out lately? That's just stupid.

Anyway, this box set is AMAZING. Buy iiiiit.

[seano]

I actually find myself watching the non-scratchy logo Rumbles more, so I rarely see the blurs. And when I do, I can't say I mind them much.

Now the edited music.....THAT bugs the heck out of me much more. Again, though, there's not much of it. But it bugs me, unlike the blurs.

[Randy Barber 4-Life]

I buy it mainly for the old ones. The blurs on the "scratch-logo" years don't bother me as much as they seem to bother some other people but that's me. Like someone else said, I think I noticed a handful of song changes, and where some dialogue has been cut because someone said "WWF" but it's not as bad as the Mania set. I'd say it's worth the price. Cheapest I found was walmart.com for $156.88 (before taxes, but shipping's free if you get it sent to a store).

Get the tagged classics from UK

From what i've heard they're unedited

[Crappler El 0 M]

I paid like 150 for it when it was first released. It was worth it.

[Diddly]

Blurring isn't bad at all. They've seemed to regress to just blurring out the 'F' although it's a lot more noticeable in certain Rumbles than others.

Now music and "WW-"... that annoys me.

[GuyOfOwnage]

Quick question for the people here who own the set...aside from the obvious music changes, 'F' silencing, and blurring, are they the (nearly) uncut broadcasts featured on the WM set, or are they using the old Coliseum Video edits?

[Randy Barber 4-Life]

I believe these are the full events. Even have a Billionaire Ted skit in one of them. In one or two there are a couple of "Coliseum Exclusive" interviews, one where Flair reveals he's number 3 in the rumble which is out of place since Heenan continues to worry all night about it.

[Agent P]

They are the full events with the Coliseum/WWF Home Video Extras thrown in.

[GuyOfOwnage]

Thank you both for the verification. I'd heard before that they were simply the Coliseum edits, in which case I was just going to grab the Tagged Classics (which have the exact same versions, sans WWF edits).
