Just In: Early 1990s Coliseum Video

Just because summer is starting to wane doesn't mean available wrestling footage at The Retropolis is following suit. We're packing the shelves with a nice assortment of early 1990s wrestling footage, predominantly from Coliseum Video.

As per the usual, you'll find our price among the best around the 'net. And just to sweeten the deal, there's free shipping on virtually every video. Here are some favorites from the latest wave of additions:

Monday Night RAW Prime Cuts (1994): Simply put, this is one of Coliseum's best offerings from both a wrestling an historical aspect. This two-hour video chronicles the first year of the innovative TV series. You'll find a collection of critical matches, such as the famous Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels Intercontinental title match, 20-man battle royal to crown a new IC champion, and the third encounter between Doink the Clown and Mr. Perfect in the King of the Ring qualifiers.

The Ultimate Warrior (1990): The Warrior was one of the most popular WWF superstars during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Common sense would tell you then that he got the individual video profile treatment. That was true three times over. This, the second Warrior release, remains incredibly tough to track down. Its inclusion in the more affordable Collector's Series line from CV means it was produced in smaller quantities.

4th Annual Survivor Series (1990): Even newer WWE fans are probably aware of this show, whether they're explicitly aware of that or not. That's because this show marks the WWF debut of The Undertaker. That coupled with the video's age has made it a tough find on secondary markets. And who can resist those glorious over-sized video cases Coliseum Video released their titles in from 1990 to 1992? Not I.

Just In: Wrestling Video Collection

No, those aren't bricks of cocaine piled up there. The white paper is filled with something nearly as addictive, though: hours and hours of classic wrestling footage. Check the eBay store for the latest. We've added quite a few affordable titles, in addition to some real gems. Here are some of the notables:



Wrestlefest '88: A one-time event that has become one of the more elusive entries from the Coliseum Video library. This is a pristine, non-rental, so don't delay. Chances are it'll go quickly.


Royal Rumble '90: You'll hear a lot about the '92 Rumble match. And with good reason. But this is right up there on the list as far as quality Rumbles go. A star-studded event. Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, DiBiase, Macho King, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes. The match was packed with potential sensible winners. The result is a fantastic Rumble match and the birth of the Warrior-Hogan storyline that concluded at Wrestlemania VI the following April.

Superbrawl II: Early WCW shows are tough to track down. This isn't an exception. Superbrawl II boasts some incredible wrestling, namely Lex Luger taking on Sting and Rick Rude battling with Ricky Steamboat.

An Update with Updates

Wow, has it really been nearly a month since our last update? Apologies all around. The commencement of true summer weather and subsequent activities has sort of consumed everything. Nevertheless, we're back at it and ready to amp up productivity for the lost time.

• We just ran a weekend-long sale on our top-shelf items. The response was so overwhelming that we're going to extend it and add more. We'll have a post about that very soon.
• There are some lofty wrestling video updates on the horizon. We just acquired a small, but impressive library of videos that we'll parcel off over the next 24 hours. Some great titles such as the original Wrestlefest in this lot.
• We're also going to keep with our own growing trend of keeping eBay stocked with rarely seen videos. There's too much saturation of the same videos on the Web site right now. It's time to do our part to offset that. As such, expect some great things from the late 1980s Coliseum Video era quite soon.
• Our inventory on non-wrestling items is taking up too much space right now, so we're prepping a huge blowout to generate some space. As always, stay tuned for an update on that.

We'll post a small preview of our upcoming wrestling video additions later tonight, so check back.
