Guest Lawlerm Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Anyone have a favourite tape from all the non-PPV tapes released over the years? OK most of them sucked as a general rule but you got the odd hidden gem on a few of them and some others are cool to look back on just for nostalgia. I'm in the process of putting all my old tapes on DVD and i've got a huge pile of Coliseum tapes, some of which i've never even bothered watching before just because they look so dire ie. High Flyers (released when a double axe-handle off the middle rope was considered "high flying"). Just like some opinions if anyone has a favourite tape that was better than they expected or anything i can look forward to while i'm doing this.
Guest dreamer420 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 My favorite would have to be the Demolition tape. Ax and Smash just kicked so much ass in the late 80's. The Bulldogs and Hart Foundation tapes were pretty sweet too.
brighty Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Smack 'Em Whack 'Em, since it had a Shawn/Bret ladder match, as well as Bret winning his first WWF Title from Flair
Guest LooneyTune Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Best of the WWF Vol. 11 has the kickass Savage/Race/Adonis v. Steamboat/Piper/JYD Elimination Match, Hogan/Piper vs. Orndorff/Race, and I'm sure something else I've forgotten. I think a better topic would be Worst Coliseum Videos. For every good one, Coliseum put out at least 4 or 5 stinkers.
razazteca Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 I think a better topic would be Worst Coliseum Videos. For every good one, Coliseum put out at least 4 or 5 stinkers. Best of Bob Orton Jr.?
hbkhhhmark4life Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 My favorite was the best of T.N.T. (Tuesday Night Titans) lol
MillenniumMan831 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 Mine would have to be Rowdy Roddy Piper's Greatest Hits. Just 90 minutes of primo Piper footage including Piper's Pit w/ himself. More SNME was another good one. Rockers/Busters, Blazer/DiBiase, Hogan/Bossman in the cage match, Rooster's face turn, ect.
Guest Lawlerm Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I think a better topic would be Worst Coliseum Videos. For every good one, Coliseum put out at least 4 or 5 stinkers. I watched Fan Favourites today and it opens with Koko B.Ware/Brooklyn Brawler. Sean Moodey actually tries to claim a fan requested it! I don't know how they kept a straight face doing some of these old tapes. Some girl reading off a card "I'd like to see Ultimate Warrior versus Earthquake. I think that could be one of the greatest matches of all time". I mean, do they have no shame? Monday Night Raw: Prime Cuts is a great tape if no-ones ever seen it. It's a PAL copy i've got but i presume the same thing was released in North America. If anyones never seen it its a good watch and you could probably get it dirt cheap. - Shawn Michaels v. Marty Jannetty - Razor Ramon v. 1-2-3 Kid - Doink v. Mr. Perfect - IRS v. PJ Walker - Yokozuna v. Crush - The Steiner Brothers v. the Quebecers - 20 Man IC Title Battle Royal feat. Razor Ramon v. Mick Martel
King Kamala Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I like Wham! Bam! Bodyslam! I can't remember anything except Ted DiBiase hosted it and it featured a battle royal won by Bob Backland and a lumberjack match between Bret Hart and Owen Hart (That yours truly was in attendance for).
deancoles Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 even bothered watching before just because they look so dire ie. High Flyers (released when a double axe-handle off the middle rope was considered "high flying"). That's actually a pretty good tape with Savage/Virgil(Virgil's 1st WWF match) and a Jumping Bomb Angels match.
Guest LooneyTune Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I assume you mean 1st TV Match, since he was wrestling House Shows teaming with Dibase and substituting for him.
The Mandarin Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 Brawl in the Family. For some reason, I loved Backlund/Luger.
MillenniumMan831 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 ^^^ IIRC, Owen was cracking me up during that tape w/ his mocking of MOM.
Kardo Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 I love Monday Night Prime Cuts, for the reasons specified above. Also Wrestlefest 1993... Terry Taylor vs. Randy Savage, which is all kinds of awesome. Money Inc. vs. Nasty Boys, in a match 100 times better then you would think it would be. Then Shawn Michaels vs. Virgil and Ric Flar vs. Mr. Perfect (loser leaves WWF). I mean what's not there to like (2 Repo man matches, but still).
Jericholic82 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Wrestlefest 94 has the steiners vs owen and bret as well as a decent tag title match kid and jannetty vs headshrinkers. as well as an ok bret/diesel match The Hulkamania series was very good
Lil' Bitch Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Grudges, Gripes, and Grunts for me. Hart / Savage Vs. Flair / Michaels, Mr. Perfect Vs. Papa Shango, The Undertaker Vs. The Repo Man, and The Beverly Bros. Vs. Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake. Rampage 91, Invasion 92, Global Warfare, and Invasion of the Bodyslammers are also up there.
