JustJoe2k5 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I was watching SuperSlams earlier today and was watching Bret Hart and Razor Ramon vs. Hakushi and Jeff Jarrett. Very good tag team match and it got me thinking about some of the other really good matches Coliseum Video put out as exclusives. Anybody have any memories of exclusive matches that you liked?
The Decemberists Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Bret winning the title from Flair wasn't bad...
spman Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 The two big matches on the Smack 'Em Whack 'Em tape are highly over rated IMHO. Not bad by any means, just not particularly great either. I don't remember what tape it is, but I remebmer renting some Coliseum Video release that had Bret Hart vs Yokozuna in a cage that I thought was really good at the time. Edit: The tape with Bret Hart vs Yokozuna in a Steel Cage is Inside the WWF
Guest Trivia247 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Would love to find an actual List of all the Coliseum Home video titles including the years they were made. I got a good number of them between 91-96 but would love to collect more.
Guest krazykat72 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/video.htm There's a bunch of good stuff on those videos. -Paul Jacobi-
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 To name a few... Hart Foundation v. LOD (WFest 91) The Hart Brothers vs. The Steiner Brothers (WFest 94) Owen Hart's fake World Title win in a Lumberjack Match vs. Bret Hart (Wham Bam Bodyslam I think)
Guest jm29195 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Brawl in the Family has Bret vs Owen in a submissions match, 123 Kid vs Bam Bam, and Owen vs Diesel on it, all are above average....
King Cucaracha Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 The Bossman/Hogan Steel Cage from the Saturday Night's Main Event video is of course very good. Also has Busters/Rockers on it, which goes to a DCO but is still decent.
MillenniumMan831 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 The 4 or 5 Hart Foundation vs. British Bulldogs matches released by Coliseum have all been gems . . . even though they weren't "exclusive". While Yoko worked hard in the steel cage match vs. Bret, I could just never get into the match since there was no conceivable reason that at any point, Bret couldn't get Yoko stunned and just casually walk out the door as Yoko would widdle and waddle around.
Drury37 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I can't believe no has mention Bret Hart Vs. Ric Flair from Invasion '92. That match was just a classic. Thanks.
DrainYou42 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 The Kliq tag match (HBK/Nash Vs. Kid/Hall) from Slamfest 94 is pretty good.
Guest jm29195 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I've also got UK Fan Favourites (94) which has Owen vs 123 Kid, Yoko vs 123 Kid and Bret Hart/Bulldog vs Owen/Avil... UK Rampage 92 which has Bret Hart vs Rick Martel and an incredible HBK vs Randy Savage match World Tour 92 which has another great HBK vs Savage match on it (although not as good as the prior one) Wrestlefest 95 which has HBK VS Tom Pritchard, Bret Hart vs Jimmy Del Ray and Savio Vega/Bret Hart/Razor Ramon vs Owen Hart/Yokozuna/Hakushi Wrestling Superheroes in acton which has Roddy Piper vs Rick Martel The UK version of Monday Night Prime Cuts which has Perfect vs Flair (loser leaves town) Steiners vs Beverly's and a nutty brawl with the Nasty Boys vs Headshrinkers Superslams has Bret vs Owen on it aswell as the previously mentioned tag match... Inside the WWF has Jannetty/Razor Ramon vs HBK/Diesel on it aswell as the Bret/Yoko cage match.... Grudges, Gripes and Groans has Flair/HBK vs Savage/Bret and Flair vs Tatanka US Rampage 92 has another HBK vs Bret Hart match... Battle of the Superstars has Tito Santana vs Mr Perfect and Ultimate Warrior vs Mr Perfect aswell as Dibiase vs Roberts Wrestlings Grudge Matches has Flair vs Undertaker and Backlund vs HBK Invasion of the Body Slammers has another Flair vs Perfect match
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Wrestlefest 93 has the RAW Retirement Match between Hennig/Flair, but it's not an exclusive.
deancoles Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 On a Bret Hart tape(not sure if it was released in the usa) there's a pretty good match against Fatu(from Raw in 93)
Guest Trivia247 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 I want to get all the Best of the WWF's those classic volumes from the early 80's up to the 90's
MillenniumMan831 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 There's an intense Steamboat/Savage IC Title Match (pre-WMIII feud) from Toronto on Best of WWF Volume 9 that features a juicy Randy Savage bladejob. Awesome match that w/ a clean finish could be argued to be better than the WMIII match.
Dimensions Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 In relation to WWF/WWE, what was Coliseum home video? When I was younger I saw some of their videos but I didn't really become a fan of wrestling until late 98. By that time, if I'm not mistaken, WWF produced its home videos through WWF Home Video. Was Coliseum as separate organization or was it renamed WWF Home Video? And who was that quirky guy who gave the intros to the home videos?
Kardo Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Wrestlefest 1993 is awesome. Money Inc vs. Nastys, Terry Taylor vs. Randy Savage and Flair vs. Hennig. All are ***+
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Coliseum Video was just a company that produced the videos for WWF until they started going down the tube, then WWF started marketing the videos themselves (and retailed MUCH cheaper) and have a company called Koch (or something) working on the videos as well. I think thats how it is though. I stand corrected if any factual errors. Off topic: How in the hell did CV get away with charging $59.95 for a 2 hour video?!
Guest The Mandingo Warrior Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Supertape II had some great stuff: the rockers getting DESTROYED by the powers of pain.. and I believe a good rockers vs. hart foundation match.. (or was this match on another tape?- I can't recall)
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Wrestlefest '90 I believe hosted Rockers/Foundation. Supertape II had Rockers/PoP (1/90 MSG) and Rockers/Valentine & Bravo (Dark Match). The PoP match was surprisingly good, but the latter match was rather boring as hell.
MikeJordan23 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 One of the best ones was Monday Night Raw Prime Cuts from 1993. Great CHV. Had highlights of Shawn/Jannett, Hennig vs. Doink, Luger/Yokozuna Contract Signing with Jim Cornette, Kid vs. Razor Ramon, IRS vs. PJ Walker, Savage/Crush incident (With Yokozuna giving Crush those 4 Bonzai Drops and Savage not helping), Steiners vs. Quebeccers, 20 Man Battle Royal - Razor/Martel for the IC Title, how they make the show et cetera... dope tape. If you pass by it, cop it.
Guest Rrrsh Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 2 of my fav matches are still Stieners/Harts and The Kliq Tag match. And I WANT that Savge/Steamboat match!
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Off topic: How in the hell did CV get away with charging $59.95 for a 2 hour video?! Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but generally it was not uncommon $10-15 years ago to charge exhorbitantly high prices on VHS releases. This ensured that the only people who could comfortably afford them were video rental outlets.
Scroby Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 The two big matches on the Smack 'Em Whack 'Em tape are highly over rated IMHO. Not bad by any means, just not particularly great either. I don't remember what tape it is, but I remebmer renting some Coliseum Video release that had Bret Hart vs Yokozuna in a cage that I thought was really good at the time. Are you talking about the HBK vs Bret Hart ladder match from that tape? The actual ladder match before Razor Ramon vs HBK.
landy1987 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Best of WWF Volume 19 or 20 had a good Bret vs. DiBiase match and a good 16-man Battle Royal too plus Hogan vs. Rude.
deancoles Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Speaking of Rude, his Cage match with Piper is pretty good as well.
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 I think the Hart Foundation CV has Bret Hart v. Ricky Steamboat from the Boston Garden. Great match, and 1 of the very few times they've wrestled (if they wrestled other than this time).
Guest MikeSC Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 The Best of the British Bulldogs had a damned sweet Dynamite Kid v Bret Hart match from late '85-early 86. -=Mike
