You are buying a pre-viewed, ORIGINAL WWF (World Wrestling Federation) VHS, The
Ultimate Warrior.
Before the tape officially begins, there is a trailer for the WWF's first movie, No
Holds Barred and a Slim Jim commercial featuring the star of this tape.
This Official WWF Coliseum Video was released in 1989, and recounts The Warrior's first
two years in the WWF, and an impressive two years it was, as Warrior feuded with some of the
top names in the WWF at the time, such as Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and
RAVISHING RICK RUDE.
Here are the matches:
From the WWF Wrestling Challenge taping of January 27, 1988 in Salisbury, MD (which
aired on February 7, 1988) The Ultimate Warrior locks up with someone who can match his

At the inaugural WWF SummerSlam 1988 on August 29, 1988, eminating from Madison Square
Garden in New York, the longest-reigning WWF InterContinental Champion of all-time, The
Honky Tonk Man makes the ultimate mistake when his original challenger, Brutus "The
Barber" Beefcake is unable to compete due to an injury suffered earlier and Honky
issues an open challenge with the now-infamous line, "Get me somebody to wrestle, I
don’t care who it is." The Ultimate Warrior accepted this open challenge. Can Honky's
manager, "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart make a difference in this
match?
Now the WWF InterContinental Champion, The Ultimate Warrior finds himself targeted by
WWF Superstars eager to rise up the card by defeating the Champ. First, however, the
