i remember renting a lot of WWF video's from Hollywood Video here in town. WrestleMania I - III , all the Supertapes, Wrestling Classic, Bloopers Bleeps & Bodyslams, some of the individual superstar tapes...
Blockbuster Video here used to have a ton of NWA videos,and really that's the only way i saw them up til around 1991 or so, when we finally got TBS. bunch of Starrcade's and GAB's were available there...

Those were the days. I remember going to the video rental store every Friday with my grandfather (was a big fan too). There was one in particular called Video 989, they had a bunch of ppvs and compilations from the late-80-early 90s. Some of the ones i always use to get were:
Royal Rumble 90-95 Wrestlemania 8-10 Summerslam 91-93 Demolition Supertape King of the Ring 93-95
and some others that i forgot.
Blockbuster had a pretty good selection too, they had more WCW from what i remembered...they had one section dedicated to WWF and WCW.
When i got older, mom and pop video rentals were closing down around 2001 and selling off their inventory...i remember buying up whatever i could find. Blockbuster was also getting rid of their VHS tapes, so bought i bunch there too from WWF and WCW. Some WWF tapes had those over-sized boxes so those were cut to fit into clamshell cases, but most of the boxes they had were pretty good shape.
Good times! VHS were pretty expensive back then, PPVs were like $35-$40, and compilations/superstar profiles were $45-$50 and were only by magazine/phone order. WCW were around the same prices i think. These rental shops were the only way of getting these tapes.
I still have my WWF and WCW VHS collection in a box in my basement.

I remember my local Roger's Video had a few 2002 WWE PPVs (I think WM18, Vengeance, and King of the Ring) and when they closed, they were selling them for something like 5 bucks each and I missed out on WM, but Vengeance and KOTR were there I was really wish I would of got them because they are kinda rare it seems.
As for Renting, my Blockbuster never seemed to have any Wrestling titles for rent, so I didn't get to rent anything til Roger's Video had those 3 2002 DVDs sadly. Blockbuster locations that were far away had them though. I would of loved to rent WWE/WCW VHS/DVDs in the 90's/2000's.
At least I always got some sweet deals on Wrestling VHS tapes when I first started watching though, I bought quite a few.

2nd Cinema Video is where it all happened for me. WrestleMania X and XI and then WWF Raw for Super Nintendo were my go-to rentals. When the store went out of business I bought all 3 and still own them to this day. I bought pretty much everything else they had too. Royal Rumble 92-97, Mania 6-14, In Your House 2-6, SummerSlam 94-97 and then I have like Winter Combat and Mega Matches. I know I have like Heartbreak Express and the Diesel video as well.
As far as the giveaway stuff, I know I have the bookmarks of Diesel and Shawn and then all the pogs. I also had the Diesel big boot door hanger too.

Tried to get Royal Rumble 1995 from my Red Giraffe video but it wouldn't play. I assume one of you jokers watched it too many times!
