Just In: 1980s NWA & WCW Videos

We pride ourselves on providing one of the more versatile and affordable '80s wrestling footage selections on the 'net. We're backing that fact by adding a bevy of NWA and WCW videos from that time period to our eBay store this weekend. Read on to see some of the highlights of these additions.


  • Starrcade '85: Whether the wrestling video business has been booming or not, this remains a rarely seen title. Though the third installment of the Starrcade series, this was the first one to get the commercial video treatment. We present a gem of a copy of the video at an undeniably attractive price. Check it out here.

  • Great American Bash '86: Longtime fans will recall the Great American Bash started out as a multi-week summer tour. This diamond in the rough captures some of the best moments of the 1986 incarnation of that tour. As tough as the 1987 Bash is to find on commercial video, this one is even tougher. Give it a look here.

  • Halloween Havoc '89: While many consider the Great American Bash from 1989 to be one of the best wrestling PPVs of all time, this event captures the fallout from some of the biggest angles that were birthed during that show. The first ever Halloween Havoc features a Thunderdome Cage match pitting Ric Flair and Sting against Terry Funk and The Great Muta. A sight to behold, for sure. You can see the full show rundown here.
We'll be adding some early- to mid-90s WCW this weekend, so as always, check back often.

Check Out: Our Amazing Spider-Man Titles


We may specialize in the squared circle here at The Retropolis, but we could never ignore all of the fabulous non-wrestling collectibles out there. Silver and Bronze Age comic books are also dear to our collective heart.

We've been burning the midnight oil to spruce up many of our comic listings the last several days. We're replacing the crude photos of the comics with beautiful, large color scans of both the front and back of our books.

The Amazing Spider-Man, a favorite of ours, is getting the makeover first. Check out the section of our eBay store that houses these great books to see what we mean. We've also slashed prices heavily as part of the makeover process. Keep checking back, as we'll be getting to all of our comics for this treatment in the coming weeks.
