This video has to be a rare one, I've never seen the video at a rental store in my life, and I use to rent at a few places in the 90s that had almost every single wrestling video made, never seen this one though, nor do I ever find it on Ebay for sale. I think this is where I found this full at, but it had to be the only time I ever seen it, as it is I've had the full for a few years now.

Full Cover: WCW Superbrawl 4 custom
This was a cover I made well before my WCF days, and before I knew much about cover making, but its still way better then my older covers. This IMO could be a good looking cover is the right font, and the front was cut well. but instead the font is terrible, and the front is just a poster that doesn't match in colors (see the white).

WIP: Royal Rumble 1990
I changed up my idea for this a little, I was looking up some ideas on King of the Ring covers, and I seen Ben's KOTR 2008 cover and I thought that leather book background would look good, and make it look more official like, so I'm now playing around with that. Found the good background on DeviantART and it wasn't too hard to find.
Here is the early progress of it:

WWF WWF King of the Ring 1993
My latest American convert DVD done, WWF King of the Ring 1993, I had got this video case about a month or so ago and as soon as I got it I started on this project, but the project was sort of put on hold over the past month.
So with nothing to do today I put a good 3-5+ hours into finishing it.
For more info on the cover, and to get the full then check out the WCF where its posted.
Event Info: via Wikipedia
King of the Ring (1993) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The event resulted from the WWF's decision to make its annual King of the Ring tournament into a televised event. It took place on June 13, 1993 at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio. The card featured ten matches, which resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by the WWF.
The central focus of this PPV event was the tournament itself. Wrestlers gained entry in to the tournament by participating in qualifying matches on WWF television programs, and the second, third and fourth rounds of the tournament were televised on the King of the Ring PPV broadcast. Bret Hart won the tournament by defeating Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, and Bam Bam Bigelow. He was attacked by Jerry Lawler during a coronation ceremony, which led to a feud that lasted more than two years. In addition to the tournament, the event featured Yokozuna defeating Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship as well as Shawn Michaels retaining his belt in match against Crush for the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
Reviews of the event have been mainly positive. Several reviewers have called Bret Hart's matches the highlight of the PPV. The match for the Intercontinental Championship has received positive reviews, but the ending to the WWF Championship match, which featured Hulk Hogan in his final PPV appearance in the WWF until 2002, has been criticized. The event was attended by 6,500 fans — the lowest attendance of any King of the Ring event. The PPV buyrate, however, was the highest of any King of the Ring event until 1999. The event has been released on VHS in North America and on VHS and DVD in the United Kingdom.

Old WIP: Wrestlemania 13
This is what I almost went with for my Wrestlemania 13 custom cover, it was more like the official poster for the event, but this is how the cover ended up looking Click Here
And also the front wasn't finished, nor was the back even close to being done.
So which is better? Wrestlemania 15 VHS covers
Here are 2 covers, one is sort of rare, the other is not. One is the official WWF Wrestlemania 15 VHS cover of the PPV, the other is the WWF Wrestlemania 15 highlight video cover. IMO the highlight video has a way better front.
Highlight video:

Hmm...Maybe this someday could make for a nice custom cover??

Gem: NWA Great American Bash 1987
IMO one of if not the best fronts for a wrestling cover, with its drawings on the front, with the cage, but the back is about as stale as they come, though for 1987 it still offered as much on the back as any WWF video did.
Its a shame more wrestling covers aren't made like this. Least the front anyway.

Rare cover? WCW Starrcade 1998 VHS
WWF WWE Wrestlemania 13 custom cover
Kind of a forgotten cover I made not to long ago, its one I do think turned out very good, and has a good official look to it when you compare it to the original.
You can find the full cover at the WCF

WIP: Royal Rumble 1990
Got quite alot done tonight on the front, to a while to find good pics of all 28 other wrestlers on the front, I think the idea I started with is turning out to look pretty good. Still a ways to go with the back, and the front isn't even finished, mainly I need to get a better font, and get the right Coliseum Video font ect..
New Project: Royal Rumble 1990 custom
Shown off here first, is my next project WWF Royal Rumble 1990. I had seen a cover of a movie, and an idea popped in my head. Its something of a cover I always wanted to do, that being a Rumble cover showing everyone or almost everyone in it on the front/back but in a good flashy looking way. I hope this was will work. Now as it shows there is Warrior/Hogan on the front, they come from the WM6 cover, I thought it would be a nice touch to use them on the front.
The cover is super early, like one hour of work type early, not everything is lined up and what not, but it shows a general idea of where the front is going.
Also coming with this cover, will be a WWF 1990 template which will be released on WCF.
