Colosseum Video best of…
By Scott Keith on October 10, 2013
My favorite thing you've ever done are (is? you're the writer) the Colosseum Video rants. I'll admit, I'm as much of a * rating whore as anyone, but I loved the way you would pass or fail the match, then look at the tape as a whole like it was the back of a baseball card. Anyways, I'd love to see a quick "Best Of" list from your memories of the Colosseum tapes. 5-15 matches/skits would probably suffice, but if you (or the board) would want to compile say, a 2 disk fantasy DVD set that'd be cool too.
PS… It's a true shame that the "Sea Hawk" was never brought in to the 80's WWF fold
A lot of the cool stuff from the Coliseum vids have already ended up on DVD and WWE Classics as it is, so there's not THAT much unmined gold out there. I think I'd like something like the "Greatest Hits" video, which was just a quickly-edited collection of oddball matches and pieces rather than any kind of definitive collection. The main doc could be a YouTube-style edited 2 hour piece with stuff like Roddy Piper beating AJ Petrucci with one hand behind his back, Magnificent Muraco eating the hoagie while squashing some geek, Roddy Piper's trick-or-treating tips, the Fuji Vice bits, Nikolai Volkoff's "This is your life" on TNT, Ricky Steamboat fighting the ninjas, the coconut angle, etc. Just a bunch of the stupid crazy stuff we used to love and hate simultaneously. Second disc would be the rare dream matches like Michaels v. Dibiase from 1990, maybe a classic Harts v. Bulldogs match that they haven't put on DVD before, maybe a couple of rare Hogan title defenses like the mythical Jake Roberts match…you know, just the usual smorg of good stuff they used to pull out for these things. I always loved the wacky and random nature of the Coliseum vids back in the day and this would be something to help recapture that.
