4.0 out of 5 stars From "The Ultimate Challenge" To "10 Years In The Making", September 4, 2006

By	D.P. (California) - See all my reviews

Now I'll be honest, I didn't buy the DVD set (I have the WM 1-13 VHS set from almost 10 years ago) so I don't know what's been edited or changed as far as theme music or anything of that nature.

WrestleMania 6 - The Ultimate Challege was the first international WrestleMania and was a very unique WrestleMania as there was a main event that was never seen or done before on many levels & also another attempt of a new era in the WWF without Hogan as it's champion. Standout matches include Tag Team Champions Andre & Haku vs. Demolition (only because it was Andre's last in-ring appearence), Brutus Beekcake vs. Mr. Perfect, Roddy Piper vs. Bad News Brown (for those who like brawls), Dusty Rhodes & Sapphire vs. Randy Savage & Sherri, Jake Roberts vs. Ted Dibiase, and the Title vs. Title match between WWF Champion Hulk Hogan & I.C. Champion Ultimate Warrior in a rare "good guy vs. good guy" match were the crowd was split between the two & was Hogan's first clean pinfall loss since his return to WWF in '83.

WrestleMania 7 - This was most memorable as WWF's attempt to capitalize on the Gulf War in Iraq through the main event storyline & the theme "Stars & Stripes Forever". The standout matches here were Tag Team Champions Hart Foundation (in their last PPV match) vs. Nasty Boys, Undertaker vs. Jimmy Snuka (only because this began Taker's undefeated streak), Ultimate Warrior vs. Randy Savage in a retirement match and the aftermath that had everyone in the arena crying, Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect vs. Big Boss Man (with the last PPV appearence of Andre The Giant), Virgil vs. Ted Dibiase, and WWF Champion Sgt. Slaughter vs. Hulk Hogan.

WrestleMania 8 - WWF's first ever attempt at the "double main event" & this event had a lot of short average matches, some comedic standouts, and the exit of Hulk Hogan, the elevation of Sid as a monster heel, & the return of the Ultimate Warrior (all of which didn't last long). Standout matches here were Tito Santana vs. Shawn Michaels (the beginning of his singles career), Intercontinental Champion Roddy Piper vs. Bret Hart, and WWF Champion Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage.

WrestleMania 9 - WWF went to Las Vegas for this one & back in time to the roman days at Ceasar's Palace with many memorable moments such as Hogan's last WM appearence for almost a decade, the debut of Jim Ross (in a toga), and the entrances of Savage & Heenan. Standout matches were Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka, Steiner Bros vs. Headshrinkers, Tag Team Champions Money Inc. vs. Hogan & Beefcake, and Mr. Perfect vs. Lex Luger.

WrestleMania 10 - WWF went back to Madison Square Garden with this 10 year anniversary (eventhough WM11 technically would have been the 10 year anniversary) show featuring highlights from the previous WM's throughout the night. The standout matches here were Bret vs. Owen, Randy Savage vs. Crush in a Falls Count Anywhere match (Savage's last WM appearence), the Intercontinental Ladder match between HBK & Razor Ramon, and WWF Champion Yokozuna vs. Bret Hart with Roddy Piper as the referee.

This set of WrestleMania's were a step below the first five but better than the next 5. I would say this is section is for old school fans of the early '90's.

5.0 out of 5 stars WWE Wrestlemania Anthology ... Worth the Money!, March 19, 2006

By	Mark A. Friel - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I waited a long time for the WWE to release WrestleMania I-XIV on DVD. I must say that overall I was not disappointed. Each WrestleMania is shown in its entirety (with the exception of WrestleMania XI). The WrestleMania DVDs show the original television broadcasts. I owned just about every WrestleMania in their original VHS format. The older tapes of the shows they released were heavily edited in order to fit the program on one cassette. They even edited some matches to make them shorter. The only way you could see all these matches in their entirety was to watch the original television broadcasts ... until now!

Now, here is what is what is wrong with the DVD sets:

-Entrance music for a lot of Superstars is dubbed over with crappy, generic music so the WWE would not have to pay royalties to use these songs.
-Any verbal reference to WWF is edited out
-WrestleMania XIV-X8 blurs out the WWF scratched logo
-The Salt N' Pepper performance at WrestleMania XI was completely taken out so the WWE would not have to pay them royalties
-There are no extra features whatsoever ... just the event itself for every WrestleMania

I hated that all this great entrance music was taken out. The edited out the entrance music to Slick's "Jive Soul Bro," HillBilly Jim's "Country Boy," Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Demolition, Big Boss Man's "Hard Time," and Ric Flair's original entrance music to name just a few. I really miss "Jive Soul Bro!" I would have shelled out more dough for these DVDs if they ensured all the old theme music was included. The blurred out WWF scratched logo is annoying but bearable.

Personally, I only purchased the first three box sets of WrestleMania I-XV because I already owned WresteMania XV-21 on DVD. If you would prefer to own copies without all the WWF references edited out, I recommend you do the same and try to buy the original WresteleMania DVD releases off of Amazon or eBay for XV-21. Plus, you miss out on a ton of DVD extras that the original DVD releases are packed with.

Regardless of the gigs I give this box set, I highly recommend to add these DVDs to your collection if you are a professional wrestling fan. Every single match and interview is shown in its entirety. Plus, it is the only way you will get these classic WrestleMania's in DVD format.

4.0 out of 5 stars From the Ultimate Challenge at Wrestlemania VI to Ladders at Wrestlemania X, March 15, 2009

By	Scotty 2 Hotty 24 "LiL Noze" (Back Woods, GEORGIA) - See all my reviews

This set is one of my favorites from the Wrestlemania anthology collection. This collection holds some of the most memorable and great matches and moments throughout Wrestlemania'a long history.

Wrestlemania VI - Wrestlemania's first international event that for the first time Wrestlemania hosted from Toronto. It held the Ultimate Challenge as the Intercontinental Champion The Ulimate Warrior battled the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan in a rare "Face vs. Face" main event match. Where the crowd was seemingly split right down the middle. The event also hosted the last Wrestlemania match for the legendary Andre the Giant where he teamed up with Haku to face Demolition for the Tag Team Titles. Other standout matches include Mr. Perfect vs. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Roddy Piper vs. Bad News Brown, Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. Ted Dibiase, & a Mixed Tag Team Match between Randy Savage & Sensational Sherri vs. Dusty Rhodes & Sapphire with Miss Elizabeth in their corner.

Wrestlemania VII - This year, Wrestlemania attempted to use the Gulf War in Iraq for their advantage as the WWF put Hulk Hogan(USA) challenging the WWF Champion Sgt. Slaughter(Iraq). But the match of the night that stole the show was the Retirement Match between the "Macho King" Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior where we saw the reunion of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. Undertaker also making his debut at Wrestlemania against Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka where it began the Undertaker's WM Undefeated Streak. Another standout match is The Hart Foundation vs. The Nasty Boys for the Tag Team Titles. Also the last Wrestlemania appearence for the 8th Wonder of the World, Andre the Giant.

Wrestlemania VIII - Wrestlemania's first attempt at a double main event as "The Real World's Champion" Ric Flair defends his WWF Championship against Randy "Macho Man" Savage. And in the second main event we see the "Sycho" Sid Justice battling Hulk Hogan where the Ultimate Warrior made his return. We also see the first one on one match up between Bret Hart and Rowdy Roddy Piper for the Intercontinental Title. Also Shawn Michaels faces Tito Santana where Shawn's singles career & also becoming the "Heartbreak Kid" started and evolved.

Wrestlemania IX - Wrestlemania goes back in time to the Roman and Caesar days where for the first and only time Wrestlmania hosted from Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace. We see the debut of Good Ol' Jim Ross (in a toga) and to mention Randy Savage's and Bobby Heenan's outrageous entrances at this Wrestlemania. Hulk Hogan's return and his last WM appearence in almost a decade. Three outstanding matches include Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka for the Intercontinenatl Title, The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers, and Lex Luger vs. Mr. Perfect. I also think the staredown between the Undertaker and the Giant Gonzales is a thing to see.

Wrestlemania X - Wrestlemania returns to Madison Square Garden for it's 10th year anniversary. The Ladder Match makes it's WM debut here as Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon battles for the Undisputed Intercontinental Title. The first one on one meeting between the brothers, Bret and Owen Hart. Randy Savage in his last WM match as he faces Crush in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. And Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Title with "Hot Rod" Rowdy Roddy Piper as the special referee.

Overall, this is a good set from the Wresrlemania Anthology. We see many, many memorbale matches here that includes the Ultimate Challenge between Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage vs. the Ultimate Warrior in a Retirement Match, Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper for the IC Title, Undertaker's WM debut, and the first ever Ladder Match at a WM.
