Just curious as to what everyone's favourite WWF Coliseum videos or matches from said WWF Coliseum Videos you enjoyed when you either rented them to watch, or just had them in your collection to watch??
For example, one tape I enjoyed to rent as a kid was WWF Even More Unusual Matches. I loved renting that video tape and watching it. They had a tag team battle royal on it, a bunkhouse battle royal on it, two Hogan vs. Race matches that were bloody, and even this brutal bloody chain match between Billy Jack Haynes vs. Hercules.
As years went on in the New Generation era of video tapes, I enjoyed Wrestlefest 94 a lot! Steiner Brothers vs. Hart Brothers, 123 Kid & Marty Jannetty vs. Headshrinkers in a rare WWF Tag Title defence by Kid/Jannetty, and to top it off, Diesel pinning Bret Hart before Diesel even got a strong title push of any kind!
The WWE Network is great and all, but being a kid/teenager and going to your local variety store or movie rental store to rent the latest - or oldest - WWF Coliseum/Home Video tapes was such a magical time.

The best of WWF series and Supertapes immediately come to mind.
Nothing like going into a video store and seeing all those CVs with the awesome artwork. Good times

I own Rowdy Roddy Piper's Greatest Hits in a clamshell case.
Sadly, I'll be selling it soon.

I own that one too. An ex girlfriend who worked at a video store gave it to me back in 2006 since they were getting rid of all their old wrestling tapes.
Why are you selling it if you don't mind me asking??

That was Flair vs. Bret for the IC Title and Flair vs. Rockers Shawn, right??

I remember finding Confirmed Hits and World Tour 96 (Saudi tournament that Ahmed won) at Toys R Us.
On a side note, I remember my parents being Blockbuster members and they had 7 or 8 wwf ppvs and 5 of 6 WCW ppvs that I rented atleast 3 or 4 times each…..I discovered Hollywood Video a few years later and saw that they had completely different wwf and WCW ppvs….I talked my parents into becoming a member at both

I just don't need it anymore. I haven't watched it in years. Plus, I don't want to set up a VCR just so I can watch this & the original Star Wars trilogy. |

I'm partial to Bashed in the USA because I'm in the crowd during the Shawn Michaels/Virgil match as an eight year old and have a close up on camera at the end of the match haha

Hulkamania 6 was a pretty solid coliseum video tape too from what I can remember of it!
Hulkamania 2, 4 and 6 always seemed to be the best ones out of the Hulkamania series to watch.

I remember this one, it had a good Ultimate Warrior/Randy Savage match from 1989 prior to WM5. And I really liked the cage match between Rude and Piper. Both matches were from MSG. They also had Hogan vs Hercules (SNME), Jesse was so good on the commentary, Powers of Pain & Mr. Fuji vs Demolition from WM5, and Greg Valentine vs Jimmy Snuka from SNME (the one when Ronnie Garvin was the referee) Jesse was great on commentary for this one too.  |

I had this tape too! It was a pretty solid tape for just 60 minutes long. You definitely got a lot of cool wrestling matches and moments on it.
The Piper/Rude cage match was the selling point though!

Yeah, for a five match tape it was pretty good. And you're right, the Piper/Rude match was amazing. I really wish they would have done that match at WM6 but with Rude winning. |
