I had that cage match one.
I remember it featured the cage match between Breat Hart and Isaac Yankem, and at the time of release Kane had unmasked so they had no close ups of Yankem, so all shots of the match were really zoomed out, instead the segment just focused on Jerry Lawler who was in a shark cage above the ring, and revealed how he managed to make his nose bleed.

I’ve got this too, I’d completely forgotten it. It had Flair vs. Rubbish Ronnie Garbage too, rather than his matches with Race or Rhodes or Sting or someone.

Hello, this is my first post here and I wanted to reply on this thread but the admins just approved my application today after a couple of weeks.
Not a DVD but an old VHS called “Banned in Canada”, I’m sure Canadian fans know what I’m talking about, for those who don’t, TSN used to broadcast Monday Night Raw from the mid 90s to the mid 00s. They took the wrestling fans for granted by banning controversial content like man-on-woman violence unless it was in the context of a wrestling match. I remember watching one edited segment and TSN replaced it with a canned crowd shot of a fan holding a Goldberg “Fear The Spear” sign while said segment happened about a year after Bill departed the company! Some of you might remember the Dudleys powerbombing Mae Young through a table off the stage. TSN substituted the segment with a five minute clip of Edge and Christian’s Titantron video.
Many stuff involving “Sexual Chocolate” Mark Henry and The Ministry of Darkness were cut off also. The real issue I had was that TSN would air replays of RAW after SportsDesk/SportsCenter that would begin airing at 10pm in my neck of the woods but the censorship continued at a time when the little kids should be in bed. Once at a RAW live show, I brought a sign saying “The Socialist Network” to express my frustrations.
Anyway, what I got for a 35 minute long cassette was basically a showcase for Steve Austin, DX, Sable & Val Venis from what I remember. TSN maybe censored one or two segments at most. The WWF just wanted to swindle Canadian fans out of a few bucks.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the TSN staff knew nothing about the product either. The network acquired the rights to air Nitro on Wednesday although WCW was on the downhill slope by that point and nobody cared. Long time host Jim Van Horne was doing one of those quick 30 second sports updates and after he finished, he said “Now we’ll send you back to WWF Nitro!”

Speaking of VHS Tapes, WWF Strong Men. Consisted of the Warrior/Herc chain pulling angle from Challenge, that neverending Bravo Worlds Strongest Man thing from the 88 Rumble, Bravo vs Hercules, Demolition vs Powers of Pain, and the 500th recycling of Hogan/Andre from WM3.

Probably not one of the worst but: “The History of Wrestlemania I-IX” - thought it was going to be the first in a set of documentary DVDs, thought the rest of the Wrestlemanias would be featured in a future release.. no, it’s our old friend “a transfer of a Coliseum Video release” of “The History of Wrestlemania” released in 1994 in the lead up to Wrestlemania X, it even included some hype promos for WMX. It wasn’t that bad, of course being 1994 it was all kayfabe, nothing really in depth, just match highlights and “Wrestlemania moments™️“ . Was just hoping for something new and in-depth. A transfer of a Coliseum Video albeit with all verbal references to WWF muted on the F

Sheesh, all the arm-wrestling angles they had in the '80s and yet they didn't put one on there?

I have a '1995 Year in Review' DVD, which has Michael Hayes full kayfabing as Doc Hendrix, introducing such classics as Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy, & Mabel vs Savio Vega.

I had an old VHS from Silvervision here in the UK that was called 'High Flyers' The High Flying it promoted was dropkicks, Macho's elbow and a woman's tag team called the Jumping Bomb Angels who just looked so out of place trying to do things against the Glamour Girls who didnt even seem to know how to take half the moves they were doing I got that VHS as a kid. Loved it. It’s probably aged poorly but as I recall the matches were Macho v. Virgil Rockers v. Conquistadors Jumping Bomb Angels v. Glamour Girls Jim Powers and Paul Roma v. The Shadows They are other’s but those are what I recall off the top of my head.
