It really shows the genius of Vince McMahon...that actual match from 1984 at the Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens was actually dull. But you take a great clip and set it to epic music and it looks like a massive Clash of the Titans.
Happy and sad memories. One night, we were supposed to go to a house show. My dad had some unexpected expenses and couldn’t afford to take us. To make it up to us, He, Instead, rented us a few WWF videos and we ordered a pizza. This theme brings back those memories. As a dad myself, I now understand how he felt. I hate disappointing my kid as my dad hated disappointing me, but dad always made it right. For that reason, I always think of my dad and that night, when I hear this theme.
Honestly,you probably saw better wrestling on these videos,then you would have at some house show! Especially in the 80s. 50% chance you'd have gotten the C show anyways! He did good!
Chances are those videos were better than what you would have saw at that house show . Haven't been to a house show in years . That last 1 I went to was 2013. That it was at my hometown arena and they were also doing a show in Brooklyn , New York. They gave all the better talent to Brooklyn and we got the lesser talent . Honestly watching my VHS and DVD collection would have been the better option . Right now they're doing renovation to the Arena where they would do the house shows so nothing wrestling wise unless it's and indy show . Then again I bought a bunch of VHS and DVD's for wrestling off ebay so I'm good on that from . Everything from Old School WWF to Japanese Death Matches. Worth every penny to get them .
Still get a chill...it's one of the songs of the soundtrack of my youth. I'm sure I'm not the only one. We grew up real poor, so having little treats like the Friday night video store run meant more, and I had to be real particular about what I wanted since if I messed up, that was pretty much my weekend entertainment. So I played it safe with a LOT of wrestling tapes, even though my mom and dad both hated it. But my sisters grew to both sorta like it with me and having that with some Jiffy Pop popcorn was a really big deal. I enjoy sharing those kinds of nights now with my own son.
So damn true.... PREACH. I'm 41 watched wrestling religiously until about 2005 then it started going in the shitter. I can't watch raw or smackdown for more than 10 minutes. I don't know what the shit is that "WWE" IS DOING! I think it started all going downhill when they renamed it from WWF TO WWE
In all fairness, wrestling was dying out in the mid-90s. For it to survive, let alone thrive, it had to be radically changed. I do miss 80s wrestling but I've also accepted that it couldn't stay that way forever.
This music and the old 1985/86 (the TV taping show pre Superstars starting in Sept 86) All American Wrestling intro music and montage of fireworks and the top Wrestling stars of that era is still epic, get a little goosebumps no matter how many times I see this.
I remember standing in a video rental store back in 85/86 and my father renting a clamshell wwf tape probably the best of tnt and rocky 4 I believe it was this theme is the musical embodiment of that era,etc...
👍🏻👍🏻I remember my Dad renting me these videos (at Rite-Aid of all places) and watching this intro at least a half dozen times in a row before watching the actual video itself! lol Really, it got me fired up, and right towards the end when the music hits that peak, where it slows down with Andre picking up and slamming Kamala, literally getting goosebumps, and counting along (in slow motion) with the ref, while simultaneously watching the fans in the background going absolutely bonkers when Hogan beats the Iron Sheik, and just having a HUGE smile on my face, feeling so very, VERY happy!😁 lol Yea, probably sounds corny, but I was about 11 years old, and it was when wrestling was WRESTLING, not 'sports entertainment', and wrestlers were WRESTLERS, and not 'performers'. Ahhh...awesome childhood memories. When tickets to see matches were $8 for general admission, $10 for the floor, and $12 for ringside. Thanks for posting this! (...and sorry for the 'War and Peace' novel length comment....😉)
Great picture that you've painted. I couldn't wait for the wrestling, so I'd watch it through once. But I'd finish the tape and watch the intro and outro about 50 times!
You just said it all my friend. I can even smell my old vhs spot when I hear this. The popcorn, the old tapes and cardboard cut outs... I'm so happy to have this memory.
I remember buying these old Best of the WWF VHS tapes back in the mid to late 90s from a local mom and pop store (Movieland in Greenwood SC) every once or twice a month and I would watch them on Friday night Saturday afternoon and night and Sunday evening with non stop wrestling action until I went back to school Monday morning. Didn't watch Wrestling VHS tapes during the week because of school except Monday Night Raw, and Nitro or Clash of the Champions. That theme music took me back when I was a kid and when wrestling was wrestling compared to today's wrestling they have on now. I was born in 86 and watching this great epic opening in 2023. I still have those old tapes stashed away in a box. What a piece of wrestling nostalgia!
Sometimes you just gotta find this banger and play it real loud..... and just lockup with the closest person to you, maybe a big boot to the gut.. Even a leg drop will suffice!
Video Max in my hometown was the place. It smelled like a video store. I'd rent them almost every day during the summer. Good memories. The part where Andre slams Kamala in the steel cage is awesome.
Ahhhh that classic VHS rental store smell. It would be even better on a hot summer day when you walked into the air conditioning after walking up to the video store in the heat. Kids these days will never know that smell 😔
Have that match on dvd . It took place October 20/84 at the Malpe Leaf Gardens in Toronto , Ontario Canada . About an hour and a half drive (Depending on traffic ) from where i live in Hamilton . Classic match . Remember buying those home videos to watch . Brings back good memories .
So many memories watching this on the weekends when my dad rented these videos for me! Judging from the comments a lot of other people had the same childhood :-)
It’s safe to say I have not HEARD this song in THIRTY YEARS! It’s August 2021 and I woke up this fine Sunday morning with this song on my mind. WTF IS WRONG WITH ME??! 😂😂😂😂
So many memories. That is my childhood right there. Every Friday & Saturday evening I watched these videos with my Grandfather and Uncle who are both gone.
Have mercy this is what I remembered as a kid going to a VHS store to rent out videos but my dad would always end up buying them to say I watched these over and over is an understatement
Used the opening words as a quote from an 'unknown source outside of WWF' for a college paper about professional wrestling. Schoolwork was never so much fun. Spent 2 months researching wrestling archives and reliving my youth.
Remember this theme from the old Coliseum Video VHS tapes back in the day. Have the Steel Cage Match on DVD towards the end of the clip . Andre The Giant Vs Ugandan Giant Kamala from Torontos Maple Leaf Gardens in October 1984. Classic Match . A must watch .
I vividly remember renting these WWF Coliseum videos as a kid from "Major Video" (Metairie, LA). Great memories. That awesome intro music is ingrained in me.
I remember me and my brother staying over with my grandfather sometimes and we’d walk across the street in Coney Island to this little video store that had so many Coliseum Videos. And you’d get so excited to go back and rent the ones you hadn’t seen yet. The Best Of The WWF series was aces and of course the early Manias

at 0:44 where Windham & Rotundo are waiving the flag is from the January 26, 1985 edition of Championship Wrestling right before Sheik & Volkoff's match.
Two other songs that is classical music named Carnival Overture and Willian Tell Overture was played on this show that is called Tuesday Night Titans hosted by Vince McMahon. So whether these songs were played on the T.N.T. wrestling show or not it was played here.
(and I'm not pining for the old days in general, I like a lot of things better about current wrestling but the reverence, mystery and nods to ancient greece... beautiful)
There's a video of the full version of this song somewhere. I think it's called Enigma something...anyway, it was also used on the 49ers yearbook video after either the 1981 or 1984 season
I recall going to my neighborhood video rental spot no Blockbuster no Hollywood video just a local video store and renting these VHS taps. The cardboard sleeve was the display and that had a number on it and the clerk would find it in the back. The tape came in a sleeve oh man good times
I remember this when my brother rented this at a video store since I was a kid. BTW, they used the same theme for Kyron Home Video, a company based out in Colombia which was the synthesized version of "Enigma", but this is the original orchestrated version from DeWolfe Music Library. Here is what it sounded like. th-cam.com/video/gktW1Xbj_ow/w-d-xo.html
Kids today will never understand the excitement of renting one of these VHS tapes and having this theme come on.
For sure. Thats the damn truth

You got that right!!! Wrestling is garbage now!
Still have my VHS tapes from back in the day . Nothing like a good old VHS 📼 to bring back nostalgia .
Man you just brought me back!!!!! Love nostalgia
This theme on every old school WWF video rental meant your weekends were going to be awesome.
Yes sir memories
Hell yeah!!! 1984 for me.
You damn right!
You were about to watch the same tape a few times!!
The best!!!
That music change on the Andre to Kamala slam always hit different to me as a kid. *chills*
💯% AGREE! 👍👍
Rest in peace Andre and also Kamala.
1:13 SD Jones with the most beautiful sunset flip that mankind has ever seen. Underrated wrestler.
yes, and Muraco and Jones were not little tiny dudes either.
1:20 - That part of the music, and the visual of Andre slamming Kamala in a cage is iconic.

The sunset flip by S.D. Jones was perfectly executed. Got his heels over the shoulders.
S.D. had the best style Sunset Flip just like Gorilla Monsoon said Jim Brunzell had the best Dropkick.
Coliseum videos they were all my childhood goodies I lived off them till this day
I miss these videos. Used rent them the moment they were available. The 80s and 90s that's when Wrestling was really fun to watch.
RIP Andre the Giant, Big John Studd, Paul Orndorff and now Iron Sheik!
Takes me back to 1985 when I was 8 years old

Recognize this theme from my WrestleMania 1 vhs tape.
I had the poster when Andre slammed Kamala
Now this was the theme as a kid I remembered
WWE Network redubbed the opening and closing music for CV.
Awsome theme. 😀😃😄😁
To this day,
still the best intro.
The app doesn’t have this song in the intro. Why did they change it? It was so 80’s.
finally found it last heard it on vintage collection years ago
I recall going to my neighborhood video rental spot no Blockbuster no Hollywood video just a local video store and renting these VHS taps. The cardboard sleeve was the display and that had a number on it and the clerk would find it in the back. The tape came in a sleeve oh man good times
I love this theme its a classic but it also makes me sad because majority of these guys I grew up enjoying watching is no longer with us anymore
fukin epic!
I guess copyright infringement is the reason WWE removed it from their videos.
The best

Glorious Past
This theme just reminds me of how rasslin in General needs to go back to this format
love it
