So what WWF and WCW PPVs weren't released to the

Recommended Posts

The only WWF ones I can think of are In Your House 1 and Over The Edge 99 for WWF. Maybe IYH is a CV with a different name like the others, but I don't think it was.

NWA / WCW

 

I've seen commercial masters on eBay for BATB 00, New Blood Rising, Fall Brawl 00, and Havoc 00. So they were released, just in limited supply.

 

Bunkhouse Stampede 88 ... the main event is on Crockett Cup 88 but only the main event.

 

Spring Stampede 98

 

WWF

 

In Your House 1 is pretty easy to find if you look on eBay. I've had it for years. The hard ones are IYH 2 (HBK vs. Jarrett), Mindgames, IYH 4 (Diesel vs. Bulldog), 5 (Bret vs. Bulldog), Good Friends/Better Enemies, Cold Day in Hell, and DX. They, like the WCW 00 shows, were released but in a very limited supply here in the US (maybe DX wasn't but the rest were).

I'm kinda disappointed Spring Stampede 1998 was never released on VHS. Being a pretty big Savage mark, it'd been nice to have the event when he surprisingly won the WCW Title. Plus, Jericho was in the middle of all his heel glory being challenged by the way too heavy Prince Iaukea. Also, Raven takes down DDP for the US Title. Finally, I believe it's the only ppv where Psychosis scores a victory.

IYH 4 and 5 were sorta released by Coliseum Video, but they took three matches from each and called it "Winter Combat" or something. Apparently they felt the shows weren't good enough by themselves to be released separately.

 

WCW SuperBrawl IV was never released commercially that I know of.

Can you blame them? From what I remember...

 

IYH 4:

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Fatu - Jeez. A Superstars match on a PPV?

Marty Jannetty vs. Goldust - Slow and boring, but Jannetty bumps for the debuting Goldust.

Razor Ramon & 1-2-3 Kid vs. Smoking Gunns - pretty good, near end of Kids face run.

Yokozuna vs. Mabel - AHAHAAH!

Razor Ramon vs. Dean Douglas - And you wonder why Douglas hates Ramon/HBK

Diesel v. British Bulldog - Ugh.

 

 

IYH 5:

Ramon/jannetty vs. Sid/Kid - OK from what I remember

Godwinn/Hunter Hogpen Match - Fun at times, but overall nothing special

Diesel vs. Owen Hart - Pointless 4 minute match. OH wait, Diesel was tweening...I guess.

Undertaker vs. Mabel - Bad.

Bret Hart vs. Bulldog - ***1/2 or so, Bret bleeds like a champion.

6th Match I forgot.

The missing match was Buddy Landell (sub. for Dean Douglas) losing to Ahmed Johnson in about 30 seconds. Notable only for Jeff Jarrett's brief return to the WWF.

 

I'd actually like to see IYH 4 in its entirety, but can leave IYH 5 outside of Bret-Bulldog.

Wasn't Bret vs Bulldog shown during the Raw where they had a 4 team match with Time Outs? I think it was called Rawbowl.

I think you might be right. I remember them showing Bret-Bulldog on Raw one week and the HHH-Godwinn hogpen match the next.

I think they also showed UT/Mabel on SuperStars.

They were released in the United States, just in very limited supply. If you ever come across an original on eBay, it will usually run $30-50.

 

The UK got just about everything, WWF-wise, including the rare IYH shows.

Wasn't Vengeance 2002 never released?

 

And be glad Bunkhouse Stampede 1988 wasn't released. An unbelievably horrid card.

Here in the UK we got all of the In Your House events released as complete events, as apposed to chopped up, as well as One Night Only which I believe was chopped.

 

As for Souled Out and Spring Stampede 1998 we got both of those as well. They were only avaliable via mail order though. In fact you could get WCW PPV's from Uncensored 1997 to Starrcade 1998 in the UK except for the Halloween Havoc events which didn't get releases.

Not only was it a horrible card...but one of the poorest promoted/managed events ever. Fucked up starting times, ticket info, etc just killed NWA's first attempt at payperview.

 

Wasnt the double main event Ric Flair vs. Hawk(Im sure there was alot of suspense as to who was walking away with the belt after that one) and Dusty's clusterfuck steel cage match thats only purpose was to put himself over? Yeah, pretty horrible, and I dont even recall any undercard bouts but I think there was only like 3.

 

At least the Bunkhouse Stampede match was mildly entertaining, imo.

Some of the matches on In Your House 5 and 6 are on this tape called Winter Combat.

In my WCW/NWO revenge instruction manual there's an advert for Spring Stampede 98 on the last page.

Yeah, I remember reading about that. Tickets had about 3 different start times.

 

The undercard matches were

Nikita Koloff v Bobby Eaton

Larry Zbyzsko winning the Western States Title over Barry Windham

Flair over Hawk (and it was markedly worse than their blah match during Bash '86)

Rhodes winning the Bunkhouse Stampede. Personally, I HATED the match (when Luger is one of the BETTER workers in a match, you have a problem). A lot of the eliminations were just so ridiculous (why the heck would Luger get COMPLETELY out of the cage to try and eliminate Anderson & Blanchard?)

 

Why didn't they release Vengeance 2002 on DVD? They released everything else and it is one of the few shows I never saw. I know it was hardly a great show --- but that didn't stop them putting out Judgment Day 2001, did it?

-=Mike

...BTW, was I the only one surprised that they didn't edit out Chyna's boob slippage in her match with Lita from the JD 2002 DVD?

I was pretty hardcore into getting all the PPVs a couple years back, I am thinking the main WWE one not mentioned here was, if memory serves me correct, IYH: It's Time didn't have a US release.

I've never seen it, but I remember one of the WWF Magazines from 1997 having an order form for it in it somewhere. A Cold Day in Hell was also available a few months later this way, too.
