In 1987, a UHF channel here in the Kansa City area would air wrestling every Saturday morning starting at 8 AM. This was when I quit watching cartoons and started watching wrestling...lol
You had a Jim Crockett show, a Florida Championship Wrestling Show, a UWF Show, a World Class Show, and WWF Wrestling Challenge. Somewhere in there they aired a Pro Wrestling Illustrated Weekly show that was hosted by Joe Pedecino and I think Gordon Solie participated in it as well. They showed highlights of all the wrestling territories at the time.
The mid-80's were a great time to be a wrestling fan. There was so much wrestling on TV and the territories were very distinctly different. Today, you see TNA trying to emulate WWE as well as a lot of up-start promotions. Back in the 80's it was different. More times than not, the smaller wrestling promotions turned out a better show than the WWF. UWF is a prime example. I hope whomever owns the UWF footage either starts putting out dvd's or sells the footage to Vince, because I want to see that stuff again. They were red hot back then and no one could touch them. They just didn't have the exposure that WWF had. Bill Watts knew how to put out a quality wrestling product back then and had a lot of talent under his command. They kicked ass.

Let me know if you want to trade for it or sell it.

My Royal Rumble set should be here later on today. I think I will watch the 2000 Royal Rumble first. I loved that PPV. Between the main event, tables match, and Tazz debuting, it was an awesome PPV.

Are these discs easier to get out of the holders? On some of the WM ones, you nearly have to break the disc to get them loose. It's so annoying.

It was an industrial bubble mailer (white plastic, not the yellow paper ones). Completely idiotic, IMO.
I took the refund, but have yet to open it up yet. If the damage is really bad, I can bring it back to the store for a full refund, or call them up again and try to get them to send a replacement.

No damage to the discs or the set itself.

I got my replacement box from Family Video today. It was in perfect shape. I wonder if my other box was damaged on the way here or it was because it was the last one they had left and hoped I wouldn't complain when I got it.
I also got a real copy of the RAW Home Coming DVD today :-) Just checking, but nobody else had an insert, correct?
I also got my Ultimate Warrior Special Collectors Edition today.

What kind of damage did you have ThomaMon ?
I bought my Rumble box at retail and found that alot of them had damage on the top or bottom of the outer box, it looked like it was ripping at the seam in that area, I just wonder if it is a manufacturing problem. I also saw 2 disc 3's with a crack in the middle.
By the way did family video replace just the box itself or the entire set?

The only defects on my Royal Rumble Anthology are pictured below. Just minor tearing on the edge of the box. All the discs look fine. I'm still watching them, but have yet to come across any problems with their playability. No cracked discs or anything like that.
