I have the Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble Anthology and I like this one the best.
I got this thing last night. The package is a cooler which is a fun idea and it looks good on my shelf. It was great to go back and relive the first few Summerslams. They were the best. There are great matches throughout the 20 Summerslams to enjoy.
Warrior vs Rude in a cage
Owen Hart breaks Stone cold's neck
Andre the Giant's final WWE PPV appearance at the 91 summerslam
Bret Hart vs British Bulldog
and many others.
It is worth the $200.
I can't wait to complete the big 4 and get the Survivor Series next year.

I can't wait to pick this up. I've also got the WrestleMania & Royal Rumble anthologies, and they're like the cornerstone of my collection.
Summerslam holds a special significance for me since it was the first PPV I ever attended (and the only WWE PPV I ever attended until WrestleMania 24 this year). I was at Summerslam 1990 at the soon-to-be-torn-down Philadelphia Spectrum to see that Warrior vs. Rude cage match in person. I recorded it from PPV back then, but I really want a good DVD version.

Just a question. Did it have Benoit vs. Jordan or Benoit vs. Jericho?

I love this set, however, I'm not so keen on the packaging that the discs slide into. All of Chris Benoit's Summerslam matches are in the set and listed on the volumes packages however no pictures of him are found anywhere on the set design itself.
Definetely worth picking up, and can't wait to complete my collection with the Survivor Series set ( I have all the KOTR Tagged Classics on DVD).
This set does not include any film cells though.

Are they definitely coming out with a Survivor Series set? When's it expected to be out? I was sort of surprised they didn't come out with a Survivor Series anthology set last year, since that would have been an even 20-disc set (if it came out before Survivor Series '07 happened, at least.)

I can't wait to get it, hopefully, by the end of the week.
I don't care too much about how it looks as a display piece, all I care about is if it runs smoothly without too many alterations to the events.
Edit: Just saw Amazon lowered their price, to $160, so I went ahead and placed an order to arrive by the end of the week.

Edit: Just saw Amazon lowered their price, to $160, so I went ahead and placed an order to arrive by the end of the week. Yeah I saw that. I paid $185 I am going to guess the Survivor Series will be out November 09 because that is the Survivor Series month. Probably around Nov 10. It will be a 22 disc set. 87-08. It will be great to have the 4 Anthologies lined up on my shelf. Now if we can get a in your house all 28 of them and a Starcade and king of the ring.

Survivor Series will definitely happen, as I can see the SummerSlam Anthology selling really well due to all of the classic events; I absolutely can't wait for SVS, too, as many of those ppvs I haven't seen in years. King of the Ring isn't too much of a bother for me, as I bought all 10 on brand new VHS tapes a few years back for around $24-25 shipped on eBay. They play great, back-to-back, from the original live broadcasts as they were transferred to newer tapes. Starrcade would be excellent, though, and I'd definitely buy it and all of the IYH ppvs on DVD.

If it's going to come out Nov. 9-10,2008, then it's impossible for it toi have Survivior Series 2008. Unless if you meant Nov. 9,2009, then there's a possibility that the 2008 edition would be on the Anthology.

Why did you pay so much? At suncoast I only paid 139.49 which included tax. It was a great deal!!! I would check Suncoast first if you have one near your area.

There are no film cells in this set, to answer that question.

Mine should be arriving today via UPS since I used Amazon's 2 Day Free Shipping on Wednesday when I placed my order.
As soon as I get it, I'll post pics of it for anyone that's interested.

What are the edits on the DVD's as far as theme music and such goes?
Also are the blurs from the WWF logo a big bother?
