Not sure which stuff but since the Best of ones have already been shown on 24/7 that I expect those are the ones added. I wonder if they will add that one Best of that the didn't include. Can't remember if it was Best of 2, 3, or 4 That's great to here if true. Those first six or seven tapes always had at least one really good match on them that for the most part aren't on the Network (even if most of it is clipped to hell.)

NikoBaltimore Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I rented out the Coliseum Best of Videos so many times so color me excited to see these again on the network. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I just read the article about it. 38 Coliseum Videos are being added. There were 138 tapes before they dropped the comp concept and only released PPV shows. Of those, 34 were PPVs. So of the 104 left, my guess would be the Best of the WWF series (1-20) and the early comps (Bloopers, Bleeps, etc.) not counting the Hulkamanias or other tapes that are pretty much on the Network anyway (Big Event, Best of SNME.) What's even more interesting to me is that the March release is rumoured to be WWWF All-Star Wrestling from the 70s and 80s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kronos Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 This WWE 24 about last year's Mania is terrific. I can't believe how much backstage Taker they're showing. And Cena/Nikki proposal actually made me a little teary-eyed. (last year, I was just mad Miz and Maryse lost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 The fact that they interviewed Taker so much clearly says to me that he fully intended to retire last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah it really felt like he was done watching this. Like, how does he just have another match now? But, again, I think he deserves to do whatever he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Definitely, the way they ended his part of the show was kind of abrupt and you could hear the whole backstage clapping for him and then it just fades to black. Saddest part is him looking like he went through a war BEFORE the match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish he would just have done with in-ring work and let that magic moment stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Most of this stuff is on dailymotion at least, right? At least now that tsteck was brought back from being a dead account. When I was going through all 1990-91 WWF back in 2009 as my toe-dipping back into wrestling after Benoit, I'd used Graham's site to pinpoint these things and I could watch 90% of everything chronologically based on taping date. I'd think the most exciting bit about these tapes (past UK nostalgia because I get this being your only real access to wrestling for years or whatever) would be the skits. Like this. This is one of the best: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I am actually more hopeful that the majority of Coliseum uploads will be the 89-94 era when the match lineups were almost all exclusives. I loved the Best of the WWF comps also, but so much of those early tapes were recycled TV angles and clipped MSG house show matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single moment on that tape is already on the Network somewhere. For the record, my dumbass still bought the VHS tape cheap on clearance.

Jiji Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 From PWspyware.com: Quote The early word on April's vintage addition to the WWE Network's Vault section is that it will be episodes of WCW Saturday Night. WWE will be adding Coliseum Home Videos to that area this Monday. March will be WWWF TV. I need this in my life. The other stuff they've been adding is neat and all but one of the big blindspots in my wrestling viewing is early '90s Saturday Night. I've managed to watch some but there are so many great li'l six-men tags and TV title defences I really would like to see from the pre-Hogan era. Even the Hogan era had some wacky fun matches. Kaz vs. Raven 4 life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered renting two different tapes one weekend, circa 94ish, that both had Undertaker vs Yokozuna matches on them. They were almost move for move identical, and the only reason I was 100% sure they weren't the same match was that the salt bucket Yoko eventually hit Taker with was a different color.
