My memories with WWE DVDs are borrowing them from the nearby library. Some of them included the History of the Intercontinental and WWE titles, 50 greatest finishing moves, History of the United States Championship, among others. When are Goldust and the New Day gonna get a documentary?!

@@bluethunder250”hey, since most of the PPV theme songs are sung by professional artists and we don’t wanna waste money securing the rights, all DVD releases of those PPVs must contain some generic theme that barely resembles the original theme”

One of the most obscure things I had seen within the WWE Home Video department was finding out that some releases that were on DVD were also on the PSP through their UMDs. Going through the Wikipedia page for Wrestlemania 24 was how I found out that Wrestlemania 24 was available on the PSP UMD, so I snatched that up from an eBay listing when I found it last year. Kind of cool to have WWE media on a portable system such as that.

The PSP UMD's are so obscure they're not really even mentioned in terms of releases(them along with VCD's)

WWE Home Video was awesome. I'm sad they stop doing it cause it's awesome to own the physical copies in their original format. You had a lot of amazing releases to come out especially during the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era.

Apparently the reason the Survivor Series Anthology was left incomplete because WWE got in trouble for the Hart & Soul DVD set because it featured footage of Owen Hart against the wishes of Owen’s widow Martha in the same year they planned to release the remaining volumes.

@@WeAreProWrestling Benoit seems to make more sense.....Owen was only in 97 I believe of the years ahead. So at that time, most of his appearances were already released with parts 1 and 2.

The first WWF Coliseum Video tape I remember owning as a child was the Best of the WWF Volume 7.

I just rebought my coliseum WF and WWF video up to 2002 on VHS and DVD. Took only a year to spend thousands. Also recollected my WCW collection costing even more thousands.

I remember buying two VCDs of Survivor Series 2003 (back in the Philippines a long time ago, they sell WWE VCDs and DVDs) because the show is split into two VCDs with the first one containing Team Angle vs Team Lesnar as well as Kane vs Shane McMahon while the second set contains Team Austin vs Team Bischoff as well as Undertaker vs Vince McMahon and Goldberg vs HHH. And speaking of DVDs, I got the Hell in a Cell Anthology, Edge: A Decade of Decadence and the Summer Slam 2007 DVD.

My first DVD was the Rob Van Dam One of a Kind 2 Disc Set. RVD was my favorite, still is, but getting to see his ECW work made me grow to love him even more

Awesome history video .In mid 2000 they where WWE home video on UMD format for PSP even the Self Destruct of the Warrior was release in that format most of them are super uncommun !!!

First WWE PPV on DVD that I had was Wrestlemania 21 (the 3 disc set); first compilation one was I believe ECW Bloodsport; first documentary was Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story

I got into wrestling in 1998. A videostore in my town had a whole gigantic section of Coliseum video WWF videos. Thats how I started watching classic wrestling along with the current Attitude Era stuff. Eventually they started selling videos from that store and I still have the VHS of Royal Rumble 1990, Summer Slam 1990, Wrestle Mania 13 and more. For Christmas I got the Three Faces of Foley VHS. I think I wore out that tape I watched it so much.

I think the last WWE DVD I bought was WrestleMania 36 back in 2020; I sorta just gave up after a while. Such a shame it’s the end of an era.😢😢😢

Appreciate the support

I’ve heard the reason why WWE didn’t release the second half of the Survivor Series Collection was because of legal issues with Martha Hart regarding Owen Hart, since he was on Survivor Series 1997. I could be wrong, but that’s what I’ve heard.

R.I.P. wwe home video 1985-2023

The last WWE Home Video that I bought was the Paul Heyman documentary on Blu-Ray I’m still sad that WWE Home Video is discontinued honestly.

I remember back in like 2005 my local blockbuster was shutting down. They were selling all of there old Collsieum WWF video's for $1 each, i remember spending my entire check, and then asking the store manager to put the rest in the back, and i would come in and purchase tapes with my entire check every Friday. They were selling tapes that date back as fae back as i could remember. Tapes that i rented from ages 5-18, Anyway i bought a significant amount of tapes, and to this day i still have bins, and bins of old VHS tapes

My first WWE DVD was John Cena: My Life

This is the best video you’ve ever done and that says a lot. My favorite WWF releases ever were the 2 tape WrestleMania IV because it was so long and “Hulkamania 3” because it told the whole Hogan vs. Andre The Giant feud from start to finish.

Thanks; much appreciated

we saw our first ladder match from coliseum.

I believe the first home video I ever saw was Royal Rumble '91 but when I got my own money as an adult the first one I ever collected was The Best Of Raw Vol. 1&2. Of the wrestler DVDs my favs have been The History Of The Undertaker, The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection, The Rock, The Legacy Of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

As someone who used to collect WWF Coliseum videotapes back in the day, my all time favorite tape is “Smack ‘Em Whack ‘Em. It contains Bret Harts first non televised title win, the Bushwhackers destroying a home with Lord Alfred Hayes, and Yokozuna eating a ton of sushi with Gene Okerlund.

@@WeAreProWrestlingyeah, I always wonder why they released the tape so late going into 1993, when the majority of those matches were filmed in mid to late 1992.

The first VHS I ever watched in wrestling was actually my introduction to wrestling. It was Hulkamania forever. While I don’t really remember much about it I of course do remember watching Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI from it and it was that match (and later on the Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog Intercontinental Championship match from SummerSlam 1992) that really got me hooked on wrestling.

I remember getting Hulk Hogan: A Real American VHS

Of all the PPVs released through Coliseum Home Video only 2 didn’t have their own release. Tuesday in Texas and No Holds Barred: The Match/The Movie, the latter for obvious reasons since New Line Cinema I’m sure would only allow the movie to be its own release. Both were on a SuperTape copy.

The only Coliseum Home Video under the WWF banner I remember having was Summerslam 95 (oye). But most of the other ones I had were either rented from a video store or on DVD. My roomate has a whole stash of wrestling DVDs. What a time to be alive huh?

I used to rent the vhs I remember the first vhs that I rented was summerslam 1989😊

I had a pretty awesome WWF/WWE physical media collection. I sold it off 2 years after the network debuted and some days I regret it. Favorite release I'm going to go with for coliseum Mega Matches. It was my first vhs and warrior vs macho cage match was awesome. For WWF/WWE I'll go with NWO Back in black because it showed the promising future of wrestling documentaries.

Great video. I still have my collection of tapes. The Demolition and Survivor Series 1997 tapes are some of my best WWF hits. Big into NWA/WCW; Starrcade 1985 (both versions) and Crockett Cup 1986 being the grails. Hopefully you make this into a series.

I think it was the Best of WrestleMania 1-14 VHS as my first one from the WWF/WWE.

Streaming services will be the death of DVD’s

James when I remember those vhs coliseum videos was every Friday going to any video store renting any coliseum video vhs

My very first WWE VHS was Survivor Series 1988 which my parents got me as a Xmas gift. I personally am not moving away from physical WWE media as it is more reliable as the streams get edited madly and especially now with the Vince McMahon scandal. I do hope that WWE reconsider as there are still people who prefer a physical product to own and Amazon in the UK always has top DVD sales for the WWE dvds.

Always bringing out good content i remember the first wrestling vhs tape i watched was the 1990 survivor series then i rented more vhs tapes from blockbuster afterwards and it was my friday night and weekend thing as a kid

Just to clarify something, the actual last Coliseum Video was Survivor Series 1997 and the first WWF Home Video was the original issue of Cause Stone Cold Said So (which was only sold via mail order or at house shows until the mass market issue in 1998 with a different cover).

I always wondered back then how many were sold and how ppl could afford the $59.95 every month for the videos advertised in WWF Magazine

I own the WrestleMania Complete Anthology DVD Collection. The thing that sticks with me is that they edited Undertaker’s American BadAss Theme with his Ministry Theme. And I have NO idea why.

good video

I think the cm punk best in the world dvd has to be my favorite because he was my favorite wrestler at the time and I wanted it for Christmas I really happy when I got on Christmas Day

The editing of the PPVs on the VHS versions is fascinating considering they also added footage as "Coliseum Video exclusives!" The ones that stick out to me the most are Royal Rumble 89 and 91 because both had entire matches cut out! The 89 version lost the Haku/Harley Race match and the 91 version lost a bout between Koko B Ware and The Mountie. Considering the Rumble match itself is long, I guess it's not surprising that an entire match would be cut to ensure the main attraction is presented in full.

If I had to pick my 10 favorite Coliseum/WWF/WWE home video releases: The Rise and Fall of ECW Cause Stone Cold So Stone Cold Steve Austin: The Bottom Line on the Most Popular Superstar of All-Time Hell in a Cell The Triumph and Tragedy of WCCW The Three Face of Foley Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker Hell Yeah: Stone Cold Steve Austin Mick Foley: Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops The Rock: The People's Champ

Not really gone; I'm just trying to work something out for something a bit different Work in progress

The most notable VHS Tape I owned was The WWF's Most Unusual Matches as well as WrestleManias 2 & III. The last video I bought was the History of Mid-South after WWE obtained their tape library and I felt that DVD didn't do Mid-South's history justice. I was a subscriber to WWE's On-Demand service until the Network was created. I loved seeing the old matches from the 70's and 80's and was able to record them on a DVD recorder. I hope this doesn't become an overwhelming trend of eliminating physical media. Not everything is available to stream and with McMahon's issues, it'll be an editing mess.

the first wwe DVD i ever owned was royal rumble 2003 i almost have every single ppv on dvd except for Armageddon 2003 i have wrestlemania 20 and great american bash 2004 summerslam 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 and 2005 dvd's that i didn't know i have shawn michaels boyhood dream 1996 undertaker tombstone 3-disc set and i have a bunch of ecw DVD'S forever hardcore the rise and fall of ecw and ECW one night stand 2005 and a ton from 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 and 2000 this news is crazy glad i have all these DVD'S.

Thanks I only said 40s as a safe estimate; because 30s really runs the gamut now(30 years old is 1994) So I probably could have said mid-late 30s

I have WWE dawn of the attitude.

I have a pretty extensive collection of WWE DVDs. I would've loved to have gotten a "Best of" set for Championship and All Star Wrestling, from the Philly and Hamburg days. They're sitting pretty tight on all that footage with apparently no intention whatsoever of posting it to the WWE/Peacock deal. Doubtful that they'll post it to Netflix either. Whenever I run into a WWE DVD at a store I buy it, provided it's older material. Why buy a DVD of recent footage? Just as good as the ECW Rise and Fall video is ECW Bloodsport. The ECW Unreleased sets are all good too.

QUESTION: If the Rise and Fall of ECW was the 2nd most bought, what was the 1st most bought?

Also I forgot on legecy set hogan posing is cut out robin lecth doesn’t give proclamation

Ok before I watch here are some facts I know coliseum video clamshell ran from WF001-WF052 with WF053 being mania 4 the only double vhs from 01-34 ( best of the wwf vol 10) had a white stripe on spine and has original theme after mania 3 they switched to second theme after best of wwf 6 the intro changed from Bruno n zybisco footage to uncle Elmer n John studd footage mania 2 had davey boy power slamming beefcake 1st survivor series n piledriver are the only non clamshell tapes in that series most matches are house show non televised matches or ones on prime time all star all American n spotlight but mostly house show matches made exclusively for those tapes which makes me question why the unreleased dvd why those matches weren’t on coliseum or prime time spotlight all star or all American the box cardboard boxes are very flimsy but have rare matches the ppvs are cut and aren’t original version and add in coliseum extras which hinders or adds depending on what it is most network versions ol are coliseum video versions

Bad blood was last released but survivor series screw job was last love under coliseum video not even dx ppv got a coliseum video it’s right in the middle and I know the first wwf scratch video is rumble 98 so the dx ppv never had a vhs or dvd

As far as numbers go it’s confusing up till attitude era the spine numbers are acquired only missing a few numbers like during new generation but once you get to dvds it stops at WWF288 undertaker my yard but like coliseum video side series the number fill up the WWF600 series is the wrestlemania legacy collection WWF802 is Jesse Ventura WWF809&810 are the rock n wrestling cartoons WWF825&826 memorable moments of 2000 and WWF830 is Austin vs McMahon but has those were produced so we’re thier dvds starting at WWF1000 so the vhs’ stops at 288 and dvds start at 1000 whole lot of empty numbers n most vhs’ from after mania 15 are dvds except survivor series 99 and the vhs n dvd numbers don’t match up one will be WWF229 n dvd will be WWF1010 also between 2004and 2007 the dvd spine numbers just jump all around and you can’t put them in number order as future dvds come before few years later or earlier dvd has late number spine it’s weird

I know I’m commenting a lot but the 97 wrestlemania collection is the most fullest n most original versions of mania buttttt mania 2 don’t have the ads nor the music highlights after the ads in between areas also it edits out the bad audio hogan interview mess up n jesse Ventura shoot to it mania 5 instead of showing brother love running up ramp it’s a hard cam view without gorilla saying look at that jess n jesse says I rather not with wa intact on coliseum video also Morton Downey jr had different angles n cut it down a bit rockin robin bitch isn’t on there with gorilla n jesse intro after where jesse is wrestling a mask coliseum mania 5 don’t have jesse posing 13 has different crowd shots but 11 is where it’s fucked up csude it’s a replay version from that time with roddy piper interrupting everything tho it does have press conference afterwards n aftermath of title match and SALT N PEPA legacy version I think is a coliseum copy or if it has salt n pepa its probably the best version then

Um? you got the name change wrong cause I have these now during name change triple h n hogan dvds we’re being made before change but we’re released near end n after name change with a few if any censoring of the WWF also backlash in April 2002 where hogan wins title dvd is heavily edited from nWo music flairs music to his 92 version n takers theme edited but hogans voodoo child is intact first wwe ppv is judgment day in may 19 2002 tho both were wwf ppvs labels said WWE and this was the translation

Wrestlemania 5,6,7 are notorious for those cut matches 5 don’t even have rockin robin national anthem the diebise Roberts match cuts out the wave harts vs rhythm n blue mania 5 you see cuts but praise them cause it’s unnoticeable also they dub commentary over to smooth transition watch steamboat cowboy orton on best of 3 then watch best of 6 version or mania edits you’ll notice it but won’t care the career ending match it was a sloppy edit n my n neighbor was like wtf

Who cares what they go for? Any sealed tape you come across is most likely resealed. Nobody kept their tapes sealed. They opened them and enjoyed them. People are so obsessed with money these days.
