10 Worst WWF VHS Tapes Ever Released

By James Dixon /

10. Raw Strategies & Secrets: The Video Guide

The premise of this release is simple: a thirty minute tape presented by Todd Pettengill which sees WWF wrestlers explain how to perform their moves in the 16-bit video game WWF Raw, interspersed with the odd sliver or real in-ring footage. The only full match to receive an airing is an 8-minute contest between Bam Bam Bigelow and Lex Luger that aired on Raw in October 1994, which if you were being kind would be described as unremarkable. If this had been a free tape given away with a copy of WWF Magazine then nobody would have complained, but the WWF had the gall to release it under their Coliseum Collector€™s Series umbrella. Forcing parents everywhere to shell out top dollar so their children could hear a bored 1-2-3 Kid mumble, €œPress A to hit a dropkick,€ was the cash-strapped company extorting its loyal fan base to the max. Okay, hearing The Undertaker in full zombie garb utter the words, €œSuper Nintendo€ does border on an hallucinogenic experience, but that alone does not make Raw Strategies & Secrets worth owning. Fortunately, UK fans don't need to worry about grabbing this one to round out the collection, as it was a US-exclusive release.
