Just in time for WrestleMania week, doing the granddaddy of them all for documentation of the Coliseum Video content of WWF PPV events from 1985 to 1997. As expected, there were significant differences between the Coliseum Video versions and the uploads to the WWE Network on Peacock. I've documented all 13 WrestleMania events of the Golden and New Generation eras. Here are the differences you can find on the Coliseum Videos:

I:

• Vince McMahon introduction to the WrestleMania VHS
• Vince's voiceover intact for WrestleMania show intro, plus Tim Souster's "Enigma" song (what's used for the Coliseum Video intro montages on the original tapes.) used for intro instead of generic music. Though it's documented that Phillip Bailey and Phil Collins' "Easy Lover" was the song used for the intro.
• Lord Alfred Hayes' preview of the Ladies WWF Title match is left complete. The Network/Peacock version had the beginning part cut off (probably due to a "WWF".) The titles graphic at the start of it was also intact.
• Junk Yard Dog's intro wasn't on the Coliseum Video VHS but his theme song on Network version was noticeably dubbed over.
• Wendy Richter/Cyndi Lauper and Hulk Hogan/Mr. T's entrance music from the video is the same. But the version from the upload has the commentary. Hogan's theme during the time was Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" from what I've been led to believe.
• The main event's post match music is once again "Enigma".
• Jesse Ventura provides alternate commentary for the instant replay to the finish of the main event.
• Closing credits are to upbeat orchestral classical music. I don't know the song. Tacked on at the end are a few additional credits for Coliseum Video.
• Vince McMahon voiceover ad for "The Best of the WWF: Volume 2" (Not on the WWE Network), "Andre the Giant" (Available on the Network), and "WWF's Most Unusual Matches" (Available on the Network).

II:

• The "History of Wrestling" scrolling text/montage intro to "Enigma". (It began over 5000 years ago when civilization was young. etc.)
• Mean Gene Okerland introduction to WrestleMania 2 VHS.
• WWF starry space logo.
• The Network version only had the New York skyline graphics but the Coliseum Video had the ones for Chicago and Los Angeles too.
• Match titles at the beginnings of said matches.
• Subtitles during a couple of matches identifying commentators
• A couple of "WWF"'s said by Vince unmuted.
• Corporal Kirchner's "The Army Goes Rolling Along" theme song left intact during exit, along with commentary. (The Network used a different recording of the same song for some reason)
• Uncle Elmer's intro wasn't on the Coliseum Video VHS, but it's obvious he came out to "Don't Go Messin' With A Country Boy" in real life, and the intro on the Network dubbed over the song.
• Coliseum Video closing credits to the same upbeat orchestral music as last WrestleMania.
• Coliseum Video montage promoting the "Official WWF Home Video Series" up to that point. Set to "Enigma". They List:
  • The Best of the WWF: Volumes 1-6

• The Superstars of Wrestling titles were replaced on the Network upload during the Hogan/Warrior recap which wasn't on the Coliseum Video.

• Todd Pettingail's voice left for both the Hollywood Backlot Brawl and Iron Man Match packages instead of Michael Cole. Michael Cole was NOT employed by the WWF in 1996. So why was HIS voice dubbing over the packages narrated by Todd Pettingail?

This has been the most challenging. But I managed to complete it in time for this years Mania. The Network uploads do often allow WWF's to remain unmuted when the face says it. But they at times cut away to avoid the mouth saying it anyway.
Anyway I've listed the Coliseum Video content for all the main 4 WWF PPV's. SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania I hope one can learn to appreciate the value of what's on these old Coliseum Video releases that one won't find on the WWE Network/Peacock/Netflix streaming service or YouTube uploads. You'll never know what hidden treasures lie on the tapes.
Should I continue and do the King of the Ring and In Your House Coliseum Video VHS tapes as well?
What are your thoughts on the Coliseum Video content of the WrestleManias?
