Before streaming, the only way to watch a WWF or WCW pay-per-view you missed was to wait for it to show up at Blockbuster on VHS. That wait was often months. Coliseum Home Video handled WWF releases throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and a Friday night trip to Blockbuster to find a copy of WrestleMania or SummerSlam on the shelf was a legitimate event for wrestling fans. The VHS tapes were also edited. Matches were sometimes cut, run times were trimmed, and the versions fans rented were not always the full broadcast. For a generation of fans, a Blockbuster copy was the only version of a pay-per-view they ever saw. #WWE #Wrestling #WWF #RetroWrestling #Blockbuster
