I have the original PPV broadcast of Summerslam 1991 (sans the reception.)
I converted it to dvd and threw out the tape though.
Actually, scratch that. I have two pretty popular Saturday Night Main Evenets on DVD (converted from VHS) with original commercails:
1. The halloween one with Piper giving kids bowling balls.
2. Volkoff/Hogan flag match.

British Bulldogs
Wrestling Classic
The Hart Foundation
The Ken Patera Story
Macho Man
I pretty much have every original Coliseum VHS. The ones I don't have are the common ones.

I have a taped version of Over the Edge '99, if that counts.
EDIT: I also have WWF Supertapes 1 and 2, from the late 80s.

My aunt used to have a video store and when it went out of business she gave me a bunch of tapes for Christmas one year. I have a s***-ton of em', but these are the ones that stick out right now without me looking at them.
Summer Slam 88, 89, 90, 95, 98
Survivor Series 89, 92, 93, 95, 98
Royal Rumble 91, 92, 95, 98
Wrestlemania, Colesium Video versions 5, 7, 8, WWF Home Video versions 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14
Ultimate Warrior
I also have a bunch of WCW tapes, but cannot remember the titles, same goes for the rest of my WWE videos

lemme see...
WF001: Wrestling's Bloopers, Bleeps and Bodyslams!
WF009: Rowdy Roddy Piper's Greatest Hits
WF021: WrestleMania 2
WF035: WrestleMania 3
WF039: The WWF's Even More Unusual Matches
All of those are original clamshell case printings.
I also got some old school WCW tapes... Wrestle War '92, Havoc '92 and Starrcade '92: Battlebowl.
Oh, and Maximum Impact (aka Calgary Stampede)
But probably, my rarest tape I'd take a stab at is WCW: The Best of the 1990s. From what I've gathered online it's not overly uncommon in the UK (I think it was released there as a regular tape). However, here in the US it was only available if you bought a subscription to WCW magazine (and on top of that, one of the few mail in forms that didn't have the stupid XXL t-shirt). It's only clipped matches, but still... I've barely seen any reference to the tape in the US.
Oh, and I got one one of the ECW: Extreme Evolution VHS tapes from Wal-Mart. For those unfamiliar, two tapes were produced. One for chains like fye, etc. and one for Wal-Mart with a match or two swapped (flaming tables I think is one, if I remember right). I bought mine at Wal-Mart for Christmas from my grandfather, got home and it was the uncensored version. Then again, everyone I've talked to got the same except one guy down south (granted, all of them bought theirs at the same Wal-Mart, minus some dude in the mid-west). Still, from the little bit I read on it afterwards, I have a hunch it might be rarer to actually have the "Wal-Mart-ized" version.
