Aging cream needed........2006-05-22
These Royal Rumble events, released around 15 years after they were first released, have not aged well. The first event, Royal Rumble 1989 consists of a great opening bout between Hart foundation and Bravo's team in 2/3 falls match, and a weak womens bout. The first Royal Rumble match ever shown in the UK (we didn't get the '88 one) is not a bad affair, but it's not great either. Royal Rumble is a slight improvement on it's predecessor, with a great bout between Garvin and Valentine (more NWA than WWF in style), and Duggan vs. The Bossman is a good strong bout, although a little slow in places. The Royal Rumble itself is far more entertaining, as the strong WWF roster are far more inventive and fast paced in the bouts style.
TO ANSWER THAT GUYS QUESTION.......2006-04-06
TO ANSWER THE BELOW QUESTION.I OWN ALL OF THESE AND THERE IS NO EDITING, NO BLURS, NO MUSIC EDITS , WRESTLERS SAY WWF AND COMMENTATORS SAY WWF. THESE ARE EXACT copies but in dvd quality picture and sound of the vhs releases. i have no idea why silvervison edited the box cover and the old wwf block logo on the cover. they did not have to.maybe they did not want to draw media attention or wildlife fund to it. also silvervison will release king of the ring 98 this june and there will be no editing on the wwf scratch logo. unlike the wrestlemania anthology. however europe only will benefit from this as they are not allowed be sold in the states. i hope this makes you happy
Proof the Rumble gets better every year.......2005-04-12
Royal Rumble 1989 is not the greatest, though has it's entertaining moments. The undercard is poor, showcased by a decent 2/3 falls tag match (Duggan/Hart Foundation -v- Bravo/Rougeaus), an applling women's match (Rockin Robin -v- Judy Martin - you can understand why the division was put out to farm after this), and a pointless "Posedown" between the Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude.
The 1989 Rumble match is solid, if not spectacular with a surprise winner and only Jake Roberts/Andre and Hogan/Savage confrontations during it worthy of note.
In 1990 the undercard was still struggling to provide matches worthy of PPV. The Bushwackers/Rougeaus was a fairly "paint-by-numbers" tag match for both teams, The Genius/Brutus Beefcake match was appalling by any standards (The Genius wrestling on PPV ???), a submission match between Ronnie Garvin/Greg Valentine which was way too long (why in a submission match did they try and pin each other sooooooo many times ?), while the match between Hacksaw Duggan and the Big Bossman was pretty fair (both hard hitters) but not main event status by any means. We are also treated to a Brother Love segment that sowed the seeds for the Dusty Rhodes/Randy Savage fued that ran and ran and ran.......etc.
The Rumble match was much better than 1989, with plenty of juicy encounters. Ted Dibiase's efforts were amazing for the time, while we saw the big clash between Hogan and the Warrior (teasing us for Wrestlemania VI). All in all a fairly solid card made up with a cracking Rumble.
Not a bad buy at all - but the undercards needed rapid improvement.
This is NOT a Review ,its a question.......2005-01-07
Sorry guys just need an answer the review above mine is really helpfull towards people who have never seen the event. BUT my question is to any 1 who owns this DVD ,On the cover it shows the original Covers from the VHS editions , but it shows the WWE Logo instead of the old WWF logo. do they hide the name WWF or world wrestling Federation on the Events themselves. non of that BS where they use blurs to hide the symbols and it doesnt blank the comentators saying WWF. does it .
As a lover and collector Of WWF/E ECW FMW and WCW Events i will not buy these if they hide the history
To reply just start a new review i think Amazon will have no problem with my question because it will help the review if we get a responce
The First 2 Rumbles Together at 1 great price.......2005-01-07
Finally you can get the first two Royal Rumbles - 1989 & 1990 on a Double DVD. It is impossible to get hold of these any other way as they were deleted when the World Wildlife Fund too the WWE (then WWF) to court.
The Royal Rumble 1989 isn't that memorable to be honest but contained a lot of talent.
Royal Rumble 1990 is much better with Hulk Hogan winning his first Royal Rumble and the last 10 minutes of the event is brilliant! This is when Hogan was at his best and Hulkamania was running wild.
