I ordered a few of these grab bags today... I'm not a gamblin' man but it seems like everyone is getting more than their money's worth on this awesome deal.

It looks the wwe.com exclusive Wrestlemania Anthology is now beeing available at ebay stores ....... looks to be just the box without the sign and all the extras.
Does anyone know of an 2006 edition 22-disc Wrestlemania Anthology box that includes WM 1-22?

I believe that is the same box set that I've seen them carry in FYE stores the last year or so. I haven't seen it anywhere else though.

WWE Shop & FYE both were selling the 1 thru 22 mania box exclusively or It could be best buy & circuit city and other places just chose not to carry the boxes. Whatever it was WWE Shop & FYE sold it. 1-20 were housed in the regular digipak cases, 21 & 22 were housed in a cardboard shaped cd jewel case type. At least that's what it looks like to me from pictures.

The only thing i disliked about the WM Anthology Box set was the flipper discs they used for the longer events, they should have used 2 discs like the UK version.

Also the fact that WM21 was under the lid with no protection at all, luckly all 21 discs from my set play great from beginning to end where i hear people's DVD player had a tough time playing some and skipping issues. And in order to exchange one or two discs you have to return the whole thing and basically check all over again.

I knew that the re-release of ROH's Wrestlerave '03 would cause some copies to mysteriously pop up on eBay. One guy's got a couple of copies going for $25 ending with Buy-It-Now. Had me laughing when I saw that.

I know, right-the same thing happened with Best of Bloodiest Brawls. Some guy was trying to pawn the 3 "originals" for $150. Then there was another guy who listed 5 copies of Brawls in one auction at around $50 each. Some poor shmuck actually bought 3 of them from him for that price.

I'd be pissed if I just spent $150 on 3 DVDs, when I could've got them for $60 at the TNA site.

I'm gonna grab a copy of Wrestlerave from ROH since it's the "holy grail", what 2 other complete shows would you recommend that they have on sale for $10 and are tough to find? I plan on getting the whole library over the next year or so, so I want to start out with some nice ones.

EdTheRipper 08-25-07 07:59 PM

Of the shows that are on sale now for $10, Unscripted just came back into stock after having been out for a while. The Paul London/Michael Shane street fight is a solid match.

World Title Classic isn't really rare. Nor have I seen the whole show. But it contains the first Samoa Joe/CM Punk 60-minute match. Well worth watching,in my opinion.

I was wondering the same thing. I saw it at ROH last night and passed and picked up the ROH PPV two discer.

shacmasta 08-25-07 11:33 PM

Just came back from the ROH show at the Manhattan center. Great show all around. Anyway. They had grab bags for sale at the merchandise table. Though Instead of 5 for 15, it was 4 for 10. They went pretty quick, but I grabbed two. Here's my haul...

Straight Shootin' w/One man gang
Straight Shootin' w/Kamala
Straight Shootin' w/The Fantastics
Straight Shootin' w/Skandar Akbar
Straight Shootin' w/Tom Pritchard (had it already, gave it too my cousin)
NWA Legends Q&A Series w/ Bret Hart
Best of Roderick Strong
FIP: Sold Out

Since Wrestlemania Anthology Boxset is raised as a topic (once again) do you think that WWE Handsigned Vince McMahon WWE Wrestlemania Anthology (Limited to #1000) Leather Package is the MECA, The Uber, the Rarest of all Wrestling collection?

So far, out of the 1000 released 4 of which are in this forum (or are there any more?)

So those who don't have it, was it a lost? or an unattainable item in your Wrestling DVD (*Legitimate release, not recorded) collection world?

And for those who have it, was is the gem of all your Wrestling DVD (*Legitimate release, not recorded) collection?

**from the photos/posts below it clearly shows that some still maintain the freshness plastic seal of it

*Sean, Im not mistaken you were the first one in DVDTALK who shared the photo ( I remember I asked you for it, though I cant find anymore your post and photo sharing since the former WWE DVD thread was locked)

Just remember that Wrestlerave is the "holy grail" because it's been out of print for so long, not because it's a great show. I've never seen it, but most ROH fans that are clamoring for it are doing so just because it's an annoying hole in their collection.

If you can grab 3 more instead of 2, I'll give my standard recommendation of the 3 Joe vs. Punk shows. If you have to stick with two, I'd suggest:

Joe vs. Punk II 10/16/04: Most consider this the best match of their series.

Enter The Dragon 10/14/05: Bryan Danielson's first title defense against Austin Aries.

afcchamp88 08-26-07 11:38 AM

Unless it's out of print, no $10 from ROH is any harder to find than any other, because you can't just walk in a store and get some of them.

at $10, these are steals:

World Title Classic
Midnight Express Reunion
Joe vs. Punk II
All Star Extravaganza II
Escape From New York
Vendetta
Better Than Our Best
Death Before Dishonor IV
Fight of the Century
Unified

Speaking of the UK mania anthology box. Anyone ever see pics of the actual disc art? Anything special or is it a uniformed feel like the same art work for each disc w/different numerals. I too don't care for the flippers.

I think I have some pictures from when I first received the set. I will try and get them posted later providing I still have them saved.

Here are the actual pictures of the opened UK Wrestlemania Anthology with added disc art. I will gladly take some new pictures should anyone want to see the actual discs up close

Thanks for the pics. Definitely wish we got that over here as well.

My friend picked up the Mid-South DVD at best Buy for me so once I get it I'll post if they are complete matches or not. He said it runs almost 3 hours so I would think they would be the full matches.

Bob

JCWBobC 08-27-07 10:06 AM

I just checked the www.tnawrestling.com site & it says the 3 original DVDs (bloodiest, title matches, & x-division), that I ordered on Friday, shipped today. When I checked the number on the Fedex site it says their is no information on that tracking number so I am guessing they just put it in the system to be picked up and it will show up once it does.

I know some people had a problem getting their stuff but that's pretty fast shipping, in my opinion. I guess I'll have to wait and see how long it takes to be delivered.

The last order I placed with ShopTNA shipped pretty fast too. I've had issues with them in the past but this last order went really smoothly.

It'll be interesting to see if they cut the main event out. Gotta love WWE's attempt to rewrite history!


And for those who asked, I skimmed through the Diva magazine at Target and the Summerslam tin is exclusive to FYE. There's also an ad in there for the Blockbuster exclusive DVDs (I've got all but WM23 and GAB which I'll pick up Tues).

I just skimmed the mag myself. The tin looks exactly like the mania 23 tin, size wise. I didn't catch where it said FYE exclusive, I don't doubt it, but I tend to think it will be available to all US retailers on a limited run as well. The ad also states the release will have bonus matches and extras.

The new wwe magazine with a frozen kennedy on the cover has a small pic of the new 3 disc mysterio dvd coming out in october.

And....I found the new xpw:1st season 3 disc dvd in best buy for 14.99

Still waiting on my ROH Grab Bags from last week to show up. Hope they come today, I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

Usually when ROH has shows, the orders take a bit extra to get out. I imagine yours will be arriving shortly.
