WWE WrestleMania - The Complete Anthology 1985-2005 Reviews:
pay close attention 
2008-12-29 - ANYTIME YOU CAN HEAR BOBBY THE BRAIN HEENAN DO AN INTERVIEW OR BE A "BROADCAST JOURNALIST" IT'S WORTH SPENDING $$$$$$$$$ FOR!!!!!!!!!!!
WRESTLEMANIA: The Grand Daddy of Them All!
2008-12-21 - It has been called many names. But the one place for every wrestler's dream is to be at Wrestlemania. This is the grand daddy of them all and the place where you will see the absolute best performances. In this set you will get Wrestlemania's 1-21. Even though the music and "WWF" logos are edited, this is still a great set. Only Wrestlemania's that are not during the attitude era, their logos hasn't been blurred out. Some theme musics are editied as well so be a lookout for that. I will go through each Wrestlemania & give detail about the most important aspects of it. Oh and also for some Mania's there are two sides to the disc in order to see the whole event.
Wrestlemania
Where it all began. Hosting from MSG, Hulk Hogan & Mr. T battles Paul Orndoff & Roddy Piper in the main event. Big John Studd vs. Andre the Giant in a $15,000 slam match.
Wrestlemania 2
Hosting from 3 locations. Hulk Hogan & King Kong Bundy in the only Steel Cage match thus far at Wrestlemania for the WWF title in the main event.
Wrestlemania III
This is the Mania where Hulk Hogan slams Andre the Giant in the main event for the WWF title. Randy Savage & Ricky Steamboat delivers a classic for the IC title.
Wrestlemania IV
We saw Andre vs. Hogan 2 in the 16 man tournament to crown a new WWF champion here. Ted Dibiase and Randy Savage in the finals for the WWF title.
Wrestlemania V
The Mega Powers explodes in this Mania as Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage challenges for the WWF title in the main event. Also Rick Rude vs. Ultimate Warrior for the IC title.
Wrestlemania VI
One of the best main events in Wrestlemania history. Hulk Hogan & the Ultimate Warrior battles for the WWF & IC titles in a classic match up.
Wrestlemania VII
Best match on the card was the Retirement match between Ultimate Warrior & Randy Savage. Undertaker makes his Wrestlemania debut against Jimmy Snuka.
Wrestlemania VIII
Ric Flair's first Wrestlemania. Defends the WWF title against Randy Savage in the match of the night. Too bad it wasn't the main event(even though it does say it is the main event on the box, it isn't though). Bret Hart takes on Roddy Piper in a great match for the IC title.
Wrestlemania IX
Nothing good came from Wrestlemania 9. In my view the worst Wrestlemania of all time.
Wrestlemania X
Wrestlemania returned to MSG for it's 10th anniversary. Owen Hart & Bret Hart had the best match on the card. And how can you forget about the classic Ladder match between Shawn Michaels & Razor Ramon for the undisputed IC title.
Wrestlemania XI
HBK challenges Diesel for the WWF title. Bret Hart vs. Bob Backlund in a Submission match. LT & Bam Bam was pure crap though. To me, this was the second worst Wrestlemania.
Wrestlemania XII
Shawn Michaels' boy hood dream came true after defeating Bret Hart in the classic Ironman match for the WWF title. Undertaker & Diesel has a great match up as well. Roddy Piper & Goldust in a good Hollywood backlot brawl. Wrestlemania debuts for Stone Cold Steve Austin & Triple H.
Wrestlemania 13
XIII had it's ups & downs. Bret Hart & Stone Cold had the match of year in their epic submission match. Undertaker wins his first championship gold at Wrestlemania here by defeating Sid for the WWF title. Ahmed Johnson w/ LOD battles the Nation of Domination in a Chicago street fight.
Wrestlemania XIV
Awesome Wrestlemania. The Austin 3:16 era begins after Stone Cold defeats Shawn Michaels for the WWF title. Undertaker & Kane in my opinion had the match of the night. Triple H vs. Owen Hart was very good also. And the first ever tag team dumpster match as Cactus Jack & Terry Funk faces the New Age Outlaws.
Wrestlemania XV
The only good thing from this Mania is The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF title. Everything else is decent including the Hell in a Cell match between Underaker & Bossman.
Wrestlemania 2000
I never understood why they didn't refer to this as Wrestlemania 16. But its refered as Wrestlemania 2000. It hosted the first ever Fatal Four match for the WWF title. Triple H vs. The Rock vs. Mick Foley vs. Big Show. But the match of the night was Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho. Also the triangular tag team ladder match.
Wrestlemania X-Seven
In many people's eyes the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Title. Triple H vs. Undertaker. TLC 2. Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon in a Street Fight. Also Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit.
Wrestlemania X8
The Rock & "Hollywood" Hogan delivers an unforgettable match. Undertaker goes 10-0 at Mania by defeating Ric Flair in a No Dq match. Triple H vs. Chris Jericho for the Undisputed title. Also Kane takes on Kurt Angle.
Wrestlemania XIX
This Mania is very close up there with 17 in being the greatest. Brock Lesnar & Kurt Angle in the main event for the WWE title. The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the final time at Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels returns at Mania in 5 years to face Chris Jericho. Also Hulk Hogan & Vince McMahon in a Street Fight.
Wrestlemania XX
"Where It All Begins Again". Wrestlemania's 20th homecoming returns to MSG again. It had in my view the greatest Wrestlemania match of all time, Triple H vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels for the World Title. Undertaker returns to face Kane. Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle. Chris Jericho & Christian has a great match too. Wrestlemania debuts for Randy Orton, John Cena, & Batista.
Wrestlemania 21
Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle delivers a classic match. The Money in the Bank Ladder match makes its debut. Randy Orton trys to defeat the Legend Undertaker. Batista defeats Triple H for the World title in a very good better than expected main event.
There you go. I hope this was very helpful to you. Wrestlemania is a good set to get if you have that kind of money around. But they do come in volume sets comprised of 5 Wrestlemanias in each volume. Since this was published in '05, Wrestlemanias 22, 23, & 24 are not part of this set. If you're a a die hard fan of wrestling then I recommend getting this. Overall, with some of these Wrestlemanias hard to get I recommend the volume sets first before purchasing the whole thing.
Happy So Far 
2007-06-21 - I only gave it a 4 because I haven't watched it yet, but as far as price and the packaging, I've had no problems. Then again, I didn't buy mine from here. I went to the mall and got it from Suncoast for $119.99. I was expecting 21 discs, but it actually goes up to Wrestlemania 22. So, in any case, I have no room for complaints.
People are CRAZY
2007-02-27 - I have read your reviews about hoe horrible it is but i got the new 22 disk set for $160 off of ebay i got with bad intentions but i got brand new(The tag said $249.99)i got home opended and watched not one thing wrong the two new discs were not even a ttached to the top they were in a case together the only problem is that WWE put NO COVER ART but other than that it was the best buy ever i recomend this to young fans because it has all the old and new GLOBAL PHENOMANONS.
A Must Have For A Fan Of Wrestling, Old & New Alike
2006-12-21 - I have been a wrestling fan all my life and although I have had a few points where I had stopped following for awhile,mainly towards the late 90's,I will always be a wrestling fanatic.The prospect of having the entire Wrestlemania Anthology is something way too good to pass on.
I recieved this box set as a Christmas gift last year and after opening it,I told everyone else - "XBox,DVDs,Watching TV,whatever you gotta do,you do in the other room.This TV is mine."
I was immediately brought back to my youth as I spent the day and several days thereafter watching the clasics that I lived and died by as a kid.The ladder match at Wrestlmania X, The Title-For-Title Match at Wrestlemania VI, The salt in Bret Hart's eyes at Wrestlemania IX and the on-going list of others.I was in my glory.
Now, to address alot of the complaints that I've read about from other users and to help you further decide if you really want this box set:
-Yes,there are certain things that have been altered.I distinctly remember at Wrestlemania X there was a specific song showing the "build up" to Bret Hart v. Yokozuna.But honestly,it's not something that is going to change the way you enjoy the event.There isn't a Wrestlmania where The Undertaker gets pinned.Hulk Hogan still bodyslams Andre The Giant at Wrestlemania III.The first Wrestlemania still takes place at Madison Square Garden.These things that may be different aren't things you need to get hung up on.
-As far as the "Get the 'F' Out" thing goes - yes, they do block out most of the WWF logos.HOWEVER,when the logo is blocked out entirely is when it's on a turnbuckle or something very small.On larger scales,the two lines that come out of the right side of the WWF logo to represent the "F" are simply blurred out.And while it is very clear in some cases,like Wrestlemania X8 where all the cameramen are wearing shirts with the big logo and the logo is all over the place,it honestly only takes a little bit of getting used to and again isn't something you will likely find yourself getting too hung up on.
-The person who claimed that they bleep out the comentators saying "WWF" is true.But it is not anywhere nearly a frequent as this person is suggesting.Almost all the time,everything is refered to as "World Wrestling Federation" and in turn does not have to be censored.The first time I caught it was an interview with Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania IX where he says he hopes Bret Hart holds on to his "___ Championship." You'll notice the blocked out images of the old logo,but very rarely is anything bleeped due to people calling something by "WWF".The matches are introduced as, for example, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Cahpionship..."
All in all, if you are a wrestling fan and love it old and new,this is for you.You'll enjoy this.But if you are kinda into it or you like it now because of the women or storylines or something,it may not be for you and you should look into buying the volumes that contain every Wrestlemania in packs of five(i.e. - Wrestlemania I-V,VI-X,XI-XV,Wrestlemania 2000 - Wrestlemania XX.)
