10 Best WWF VHS Tapes Ever Released

By James Dixon /

9. Monday Night Raw €“ Prime Cuts

An entirely different tape from Silver Vision€™s vastly inferior UK-only release of the same name, Prime Cuts was a US-exclusive release from Coliseum Home Video covering the first year of Monday Night Raw in 1993. Most of the great matches and memorable moments are here, including but not limited to The Kid€™s shock upset victory over Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels€™ classic with former tag partner Marty Jannetty, a storming King of the Ring qualifier pitting Portland Wrestling rivals Curt €˜Mr. Perfect€™ Hennig against Matt €˜Doink the Clown€™ Borne, and a really well-worked tag title switch between The Steiners and The Quebecers. Unfortunately, politics do play a part in knocking this down the list a few places, as Ric Flair is omitted due to his having returned to WCW meaning his bloody loser leaves the WWF belter with Mr. Perfect doesn't receive an airing. It would have been a better choice than Perfect-Doink, as good as that match was. There was a better Doink match available too, namely, his criminally underrated and oft-forgotten 2/3 falls match with Marty Jannetty. It was and remains one of the finest Raw matches I have ever seen. Minor quibbles aside though, this is a tape that should be part of everyone€™s collection. For UK readers, it is worth the cost of importing for sure.
