Starrcade 88 music is still used for a car dealer here in NJ, to this day!

the narrator in these promos is Earl Mann. He also did voice over work on NFL Films.

Who was the narrator for the last two NWA Wrestling home video promos?

Brings back great memories from the aboslute best era in pro wrestling history. These commercials got me fired up and the videos were awesome. I feel bad for people that weren't around for mid 80's wrestling.

I want that Starrcade 87 music

Back in the day during the Christmas break My auntie living in Columbus Georgia ordered Starrcade 88 True Grit

bring back some good memories..TFS.

I would love to have all of these on DVD

Ah the glory days pre-internet......tape trading days....man this was the time to a wrestling fan, I'd give anything to re-live the times

WWE needs to re-release these events on DVD

Yeah, with new introductions by Renee Young and Cathy Kelley, original PPV event themes (including the Starrcade 87 theme and FirstCom Music's "Knockout") intact and re-dubbed wrestlers' entrance themes.

I agree. It would be awesome to have these on DVD.

Interesting that they advertised Piper, but he was retired at this point and hadn’t returned to the WWF yet

i want all these videos!!!

Super! I love this! Thanks for posting this...I only wish NWA/WCW had embraced the video tape release of their events more

The music for The Danger Zone VHS commercial and The 1987 Great American Bash VHS commercial were both used for WGN-TV promos, The Nashville Network promos, This Week in Baseball highlights and Disney Channel promos.

5:14-7:43, the Starrcade 88 theme song ("Knockout" from the FirstCom Music library), also used in NFL Films' annual Road to The Super Bowl specials, select highlights on This Week in Baseball, Thoroughbred Chevrolet radio ads (specifically on 104.5 The Cat) and, of coarse, The Disney Channel promos, not to mention my other favorite Starrcade theme!

I cant believe I remember just about all of these ...good times

Jim Crockett Promotions was later bought by Turner Broadcasting System in October 1988, changing its name to World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where its best known for the infamous revolving door of bookers, Hulk Hogan coming to WCW, the New World Order, the launch of WCW Monday Nitro, the Monday Night Wars between Raw and Nitro, Vince Russo putting the final nail in the coffin for WCW and the final day of WCW's existence. RIP WCW October 1988-March 26, 2001. BTW, one day after WCW closed its doors, TNT signed a deal to broadcast NASCAR races with NBC, replacing sister network TBS.

These were the old Glory days I wish they came back.

0:45-0:48, some voice-over announcer (Earl Mann) mistakenly refers to Magnum T.A. as the greatest NWA champion ever. Sadly he wasn't due to a 1986 car crash that abruptly ended his career!

so much fun, brings back great memories and gives me the warm fuzzies

The Danger Zone included lots of promos by Rhodes, Flair, etc. I hope WWE releases those promos because today's wrestlers need to see and hear how promos should be done.

Still waiting on my 1988 calendar so I can see Missy Hyatt when she still looked good

A swimsuit calendar featuring the MEN of the NWA and Missy Hyatt. Who exactly are they marketing that to?

My childhood!

When The 1986 Great American Bash was held, then-NWA Champion Ric Flair and his then-wife had just given birth to future WWE Women's Champion (and the Superstar Billy Graham of Women's wrestling) Charlotte, who, in real life, is 😊 friends with Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Bayley!

5:13 I used to hear that theme everywhere on commercials when I was little. Does anyone even know the name of this theme? Lol. Whoever made it must be a millionaire by now.

This is a nice selection of clips. I remember seeing a fistful of them everytime I purchased a Turner NWA VHS. They sure knew how to market tapes back then. You'd see these commercials and want to own every last one of them!

Great Comp!! Really takes me back. Thanks for posting it.

Bash 86. First video I owned.

I think I have these commercials all but memorized!!!! Great Memories!!!!!!

Lmao I still have that Calendar in great condition

2:11-2:23, the Bash 87: War Games VHS commercial, surprisingly used in the War Games: WCW's Most Notorious Matches DVD!

MGM/UA Home Video later became MGM Home Entertainment in 1998, just 8 years before 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment became MGM's home entertainment distributor; What would happen if either Warner Home Video, Lionsgate, TGG Direct (The Garr Group) or Shout Factory became MGM's home entertainment distributor?

All the wrestlers that have been mentioned on these videos are now in the WWE hall of fame except lex luger and the midnight express.

This was...no...IS awesome...You don't need guest hosts, you don't need guys showing up for six dates a year, you don't need "surprises" or "pipe bombs". Once upon a time, there was a thing called PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, with these guys called WRESTLERS, and believe it or not, people enjoyed this...

Jim Cornette's fall was classic

the Glory Days of Wrestling

I have Bash 85, 87 and 90 in the original boxes. A little worn as they are from video stores.

I have all of these tapes minus the Danger Zone tape

Wow so many memories, roh kinda of reminds me of NWA wrestling

I have Starrcade 86, 87, and 88, Great American Bash 87 and 88, and Crockett Cup 88. You can get them on Amazon, but you're gonna have to overpay a little.

starrcade 88, i like how they sold the ppv on the fact that all the big matches featured "the international"

It always annoyed me that they put the Magnum TA Tribute on the Crockett Cup '87 VHS. It was a 2 night event with 21 matches and they cut it down to 90s minutes. They should have put out a separate Magnum TA VHS tape and made the Crockett Cup a 2 tape set.

I own all but one of these and will be procuring the last one soon

these brings back alot of memeries

Anyone got the ad for the first War Games, as in for the live show itself? ("...the full battle is joined, the Horsemen, the Superpowers...") Showing the construction of the cell and all?

Thanks for posting these ads. I just McMahon and co. would put these out the way they were. I always wondered what was more dangerous the War Games or the Sky Walkers? I know in the War Games you didnt have a big fall, but all those men in a tight area and I know thats how JJ Dillon got hurt, but Cornette got hurt in the first Sky Walkers.

7:44, the announcer (What’s His Name?) forgets to say “Here’s how to order!”

I own all of these except the Danger Zone and starrcade 83-87

@GIRPhantom I think that voice is Joh Facenda?? from NFL films!? Same as bash 87??

is that Peter Cullen doing voice over?

thanks for the video what MORE of an incentive do you need to buy this VHS and BETA ? you will receive a limited edition 1988 swimsuit calender of the MEN he he he

The only thing I didn't like was the Danger zone was a music video completion, but I still enjoyed them. Got me song the cheetos dance too I need only one of these tapes.

I'm crying because I miss this so much. These new generation wrestling fans don't know nothing about good wrestling. Instead we get to much talking and less wrestling.

Now i have all of these burned to disc in very good quailty ( thank you XWT Classics.com). I am sure my collection now blows his away. Ha,ha.!

I'm trying to find Battlestar 88 road to starcade..nwa..

Name the error in the Starrcade 83-87 commercial.

And of course Booker Rhodes had to get over.

Wrestlemania can never compare to Starrcade.

Wrestling is a bunch of oiled-up, muscle-bound, tanned, sweaty men in tights, rolling around on the mat together. Who did you THINK they were marketing that calendar to??
