Curt McGirt Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) At one time we had at least four video stores in town. Broadway Video had a wrestling section that looked just like that pic. Edited August 10, 2020 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 28 minutes ago, Godfrey said: My local place had Royal Rumble 1992 and everything WWF from 97 to 2000, but the specialty grocer on the other side of town had tons of 90's All Japan and New Japan bootlegs. I had to learn katakana to rent them so the whole endeavor was worthwhile. I bought NJPW and Noah tv block tapes from J-Town on Steeles Ave @ the 404 in the early 2000s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to learn katakana to rent them so the whole endeavor was worthwhile. I inherited a large collection of wrestling tapes that included a ton of bootleg tapes that my buddy had bought from an Asian grocer. I haven't gone through them yet, with the exception of an early NOAH tape that I randomly selected. The first show on the tape was a Halloween episode where the whole roster dressed up in costumes that concealed their identities. I was so confused at first. It took me a good half hour before I realized that it was a special event, and that NOAH didn't start out as a furry-themed comedy promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 If not for him using his meeting with the Funker I could see @Tromatagon using that second pic as a profile picture somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Great Justice Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hard to see, but it would appear Rumble 92 is in stock while WMIX is not. Questionable renting decisions. But based on what’s in stock, seems like this was around Summer 1997? What an awesome time to be a fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The juxtaposition between the both complimented the Black and White Photos....except that Getty Images crawl was a pain in the arse.

Ziggy Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 How was Kamala in Japan, I know he talked about how Abdullah tried to keep other Black wrestlers out of Japan. I'm surprised he didn't get a serious push over there considering he was a monster. Imagine he'd be able to show more of his abilities as a worker in Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still remember the WWF and WCW VHS tapes I rented from video shops and the movies as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
