I shouldn't complain, but the only real missing tape on there that I wish was included is Wrestlefest '94 (Harts-Steiners, Kid/Jannetty-Headshrinkers). The folks at wwenetworknews are under the belief that a lot of wrestler-specific tapes will drop at a later date, hence no Hulkamania tapes and others of that type. -

Watch the '89 Rumble again--it's almost like guys were actively told to go after and concentrate on people of the same alignment, even after the Demolition start. The announcers played it up big--"Where else are you going to see Mr. Perfect go at it with the Honky Tonk Man??" You had Hogan taking on guys like Koko and the Bushwhackers, which was an odd sight. There was definitely a sea change in booking after the start in '88. Edit: I think the weird card layout was so they could do a final hard-sell of the Main Event after the Rumble. You had a Hogan promo that I think was after the Rumble match, then the Roma injury allowed for a break between falls, where they had DiBiase and Andre come back out to do a podium interview.

Add another to the list.

Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5b0bzc dawho's assignment is the extremely divisive Hashimoto vs. Ogawa Dome match from October '99.

I think he was also going to feud with Razor and put him over as well (yes, even in early '93 it seems like they saw a future in Razor as a babyface).
-
Hopefully they drop at a later time. I remember when the '88-'89 episodes of WCW dropped, the first thing I sought out was the Original Midnight Express debut, only to find that episode skipped. It did show up afterward.

How much experience did Jordan and Gable have pre-NXT?

What makes '80s Worldwide and Pro for me are the absolutely insane crowds. Even something like Black Bart vs. Sam Houston may as well be Armageddon.

While we're speculating wildly...

I'm looking for results and matches involving non-regular job guys, since we have to presume George South or Rocky King wouldn't be dumb enough to try that. The 6/29/85 TBS show has a guy named "Roy George" (surely that name was a rib in 1985) in against Ole and Arn and it doesn't look 100% cooperative at times. He does seem to try to resist certain moves and Ole rides him pretty hard at one point, though he doesn't quite brutalize him as much as the stories go. He doesn't really seem to visually submit to the armbar at the end either, they just call for the bell.

southofheavy's assignment: Magnum T.A. defending the U.S. title against Ole Anderson from the 12/28/85 episode of World Championship Wrestling.

I'm a little behind on wrestling-viewing time but will make sure I get both of my assigned matches in before the end of the week. Capital resolved to get into high-end WOS, among other things, for 2018. It doesn't get much more high-end than Clive Myers vs. Steve Grey from 1975. It's in three parts:

Looking forward to it. My assignment for you is Wyatt Family vs. the Shield from Elimination Chamber '14. This is one of those matches you should probably recommend to your father.

This would be hilarious for all the wrong reasons if it wasn't so sad and pathetic--not enough quality control to tell the guys to maybe not do buckle spots in the corner with the pole. The crowd is actually into the action, but Russo's too much of a racist blind fuckhead to actually notice that so let's focus on him settling stupid personal grudges at the announcer's desk instead. Schiavone's gibbering over everything Oklahoma says is an easy way to undo anything out of his mouth actually coming across as funny. "Thinking that SHIT like THIS is going to bring in the viewers and put WCW back on top to stay, make everybody money...I mean, they can't actually BELIEVE this. Hell, at this point I'm ready to believe that they KNOW their asses are gone in a month so they might as well get in every cheap shot they can while they have the keys to the kingdom." --CRZ, raising a very valid point.
