Our quest to bring you the tough-to-find videos others can't continues. Check our eBay store today and you'll find some unique additions in our Wrestling Videos of the '90s section. This includes some elusive In Your House events from 1995 and 1996.
- In Your House I: You wouldn't be much of a wrestling fan if you didn't acknowledge In Your House's humble beginnings. While the majority of the non-Big 5 WWE PPVs of today are big, stand-alone events, they owe their existence to what started out as a one-shot deal on PPV.
The first IYH event, housed on the above video, aired in May 1995 and was a two-hour event. Priced at just $15, the event seemed more like a gimmick to give away a house (which they did during the broadcast). WWF continued with the IYH events during the months the standard PPVs such as Summerslam and Survivor Series did not occur.
This show features a lackluster Diesel/Sid showdown, but is notable for a pair of great Bret Hart matches. Also note the pair of unaired bonus matches that the PPV audience missed out on. If nothing else, this will always be notable for being the show that got the ball rolling on monthly wrestling PPVs. Check it out here.
- Mega Matches '96: While the early IYH events often featured mediocre wrestling action, Good Friends, Better Enemies, the surname for the April 1996 IYH event, offered one of the best Shawn Michaels matches of the 1990s. His no-holds-barred WWF title match with Diesel is still an intense classic. Unfortunately, the event was released under the title Mega Matches '96 and released in limited quantities. This meant few people have been able to get their hands on the full PPV show from a commercial source. We've got it here and at the best price on eBay.
- It's Time: Finally, we have another full IYH show that few people have been able to commercially get their hands on. The 12th installment of the IYH series, It's Time, got steady release overseas. In the States, however, the show was released in extremely limited quantities. Today, you're lucky to find the show distributed by Coliseum Video on the secondary market. Again, we've got it in pristine condition for you and at a competitive price. Give it a glance here.
We're going to add some more classic WWF this afternoon, so check back for an update soon.
