COLISEUM VIDEO-CAST #001 (BEST OF THE WWF VOL. 1)

AVAILABLE TO “VIP SUPERFAN” TIER MEMBERS AT PATREON.COM/WRESTLECOPIA

Featuring Ray Russell & Gene Jackson… 

We kick off the VIP SUPERFAN “COLISEUM VIDEO-CAST” Series on Patreon by doing a deep dive back into the WWF’s Coliseum Video collection as we discuss “Best of the WWF Vol. #1”.  We talk the infamous Piper’s Pit where Roddy cracks a coconut over the Superfly’s head, Gorilla Monsoon gets physical with Boxing legend Muhammad Ali, Bruno Sammartino tries to put his former student Larry Zbyszko in his place in a grueling Steel Cage Match in front of 36,000 fans at Shea Stadium, and MEAN GENE OKERLUND STEPS INTO THE RING to team up with Hulk Hogan in their old stomping grounds of Minneapolis to take on the evil Mr. Fuji and George “The Animal” Steele. All of that, plus Andre the Giant, Dick Murdoch, Adrian Adonis, and more!

  • Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant vs. Big John Studd, Adrian Adonis, and Dick Murdoch
  • Women’s Champion The Fabulous Moolah vs. Wendi Richter (TITLE CHANGE!)
  • Gorilla Monsoon vs. Baron Mikel Scicluna
  • Gorilla Monsoon tangles with Boxing Legend Muhammad Ali, and has a few words of advice for “the Greatest”.
  • “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka vs. Bobby Bass
  • Piper’s Pit featuring Superfly Snuka. YES, it’s THAT Piper’s Pit!!!
  • “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka vs. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper (from MSG)
  • The Cobra (George Takano) vs. Black Tiger (Mark Rocco) (For the Vacant WWF Jr. Title)
  • Hulk Hogan TRAINS Mean Gene Okerlund for an upcoming tag team bout!
  • Hulk Hogan AND MEAN GENE OKERLUND vs. George “The Animal” Steele & Mr. Fuji
  • Teacher vs. Student as Larry Zbyszko attempts to step out of the shadow of his mentor “Living Legend” Bruno Sammartino. Things don’t go Larry’s way and we get a heel turn, complete with chair shots and blood!
  • The Weigh-In: Bruno has some final words before taking on his former friend Zbyszko at Shea Stadium
  • STEEL CAGE GRUDGE MATCH!!! We finish the discussion by looking into the Bruno Sammartino vs. Larry Zbyszko bout in front of 36,000 Fans at Shea Stadium. Will Larry retire the Living Legend, or does Bruno still have what it takes to put his former student in his place?
