1.0 out of 5 stars
audio problems, poor packaging, audio skipping, footage removed, jittery blurred logos, censored music, not worth the full price, March 23, 2007
A Kid's Review
honestly...this is ridiculous. the audio for all the dvd's(every one)are nothing more than crappy mono(very poor)with the sound very low & the commentators very high?. where are the dolby digital 5.1 stereo surround sound wwe dvds we are use to getting everytime. the packaging sucks badly(why not do it as with the past wrestlemania anthology with a bottom & top lid), it splits even with being careful, a lot of footage is removed outta no where(most noteably the wwf superstar line segments), you can tell of this because of the splicing job they constantly do. the audio constantly skips(jumping) when wwf is verbally mentioned, the blurred logos are jittery & shake when theres frame movements. the blurred logo's look like garbage...the blurs look like heavy ice cube blocks on the everything especially the turnbuckles(they even go as far as to blur in-between the turnbuckles...for what?????). seriously i swear in this set they censor dozens of original themes filmed at the the time of the event when it took place(all this very annoying). 1 more thing...there are these awkward "picture motion"(also known as picture speed)frame distortions during the 1999 royal rumble...some examples during 1999 are @: 3:38-3:44, 5:11-5:16, 1:06:35-1:06:45, 2:10:34-2:10:39, 2:35:23-2:35:46, & 2:45:02-2:45:18. it does'nt look "live" at all. it looks like the picture motion(speed)movie companys use for their big motion picture movies & sitcoms. or even vcd(video compact disc)quality. this is truly unacceptable. no reason for this to be taking place. wwe needs to apoligize to their fans right now, recall this whole set, replace all these defective dvd disc's with some newly mastered ones...free of charge. i honestly don't get vince mcmahon & wwe alot of the times on the way they think when it comes to their dvd projects. the 1 star is strictly about the creation(product input) & overall final product at hand(the rumbles are 5 stars all the way). all i can say is how & why?????. know what your purchasing!!!!!.

Unwrapping the DVD set, April 6, 2007
I am still digging into the new boxed set, but I wanted to echo several comments about the packaging. It is indeed awkward, fragile, and ill-concieved. A piece of printed paper hold together two large heavy sides. I have pampered the case like a newborn baby and it's already about to tear. Normal wear and tear will have people buying new cases in the first month.
Beyond that....I can't wait to see all 56 hours.

WWE Royal Rumble Anthology, May 9, 2007
First off, for anyone who still hasn't purchased this set because they are only looking for the earlier Royal Rumbles, I currently have the first volume (1988-1992) by itself, as well as the 1993 & 1994 Rumbles in a case together, up for sale on the Auctions portion of this site. You can find these by going to www.amazon.com/auctions and doing a search for Royal Rumble.
As for the Royal Rumble Anthology set as a whole, I am very happy that they made this collection, although I'm supprised they didn't do Survivor Series first. As some people have mentioned, the packaging is rather strange, but the DVD's are great. There is some logo and music editing involved here, but it is easy enough to look past that. The Royal Rumble has always been a great event, and any true wrestling fan would want to see this collection. Hope to see sets of Summer Slam and Survivor Series in the comming years.
