    Overall, this was a pretty good set, but I noticed one little change on the 1989 SS set, one that I only noticed because I have the PPV version on VHS from years back and sued to watch it all the time, to the point that I nearly memorized some of the commentary. The pre-match interviews with The Rude Brood and The Ultimate Warriors are NOT the same ones from the PPV. While I at first thought they were edited, it was obvious they used different takes from the ones shown 20 years ago – confirming what I think many of us already knew, that most of the interviews are scripted and pre-taped.

    I’m happy to see that WWE has decided to release the Survivor Series but why didn’t they release it as an entire set with all SS events? Also, as of this writting there is not artwork. Other sites have it. Come on Amazon!

    I am looking forward to these as I was stationed overseas for 88 and 89 versions and want to see them in their entirety. I miss the old WWF(E) days. I think this will be the best set, and will (probably) be the only one I buy.

    I loved the WWF in the 1980s and early 1990s. Survivor Series was always a memorable part of Thanksgiving. But watching this anthology, 20 years removed from it, and with a number of other events succeeding it, didn’t rekindle the original spark it had. Volume 1 is probably good for one viewing; I might watch the 1990 and 1991 events again.

    I certainly wouldn’t encourage anyone to use the early Survivor Series Antologies to introduce younger wrestling fans to a previous age of the sport. The match quality just isn’t fantastic, and some of the talent and their gimmicks are ridiculous. Most 9-12 year-olds might have a hard time enjoying these events.

    Volume 1 does include peak Hulkamania, which I did enjoy. Undertaker’s debut can’t be overlooked either.

    But for the best wrestling of this era, and a better way to introduce younger kids to the era, would be the WrestleMania anthologies. The match quality (even if short in length) and production values are significantly better.

    Great throwback of my all time favorite wrestlers throwing it down in the squared circle. Went down memory lane watching this DVD, brought it as a christmas gift for a big wrestling fan and he loved every minute if it, so much he shares it with other family members.

    Even the new generation WWE fans can appreciate this DVD volume 1 & 2.
