August 20, 20196 yr comment_5897094 Can we roll back around and regroup on what shows we have good reason to think WWE has that we haven't seen yet. Boogie Jam was definitely one and now we have it. There are the other Crockett Cups, potentially KOTR 86 from the Harley tribute footage (but man I'd much rather they have 85). What else?
October 19, 20195 yr Author comment_5902259 Took a few off the front page list now that they’re unearthed - Fantastics vs Sheepherders from Crockett Cup 86 full, Sabu WWF tryout vs Scott Taylor and WCW Festival de Lucha 99. Anything else shown up? Waiting to see some old King of the Rings after that Harley footage.
October 22, 20195 yr comment_5902535 My new holy grail is the Minneapolis-specific local promos from WWF TV April 1985. Jesse Ventura challenged Hulk Hogan for the WWF Title on a big house show in Minneapolis, and had Prince's real-life celebrity bodyguard as a guest cornerman in his match. Jesse would always brag about his rock star friends on commentary and promos and it always came off as bullshit, but I can imagine Jesse's promos leading into a match where he actually does have a rock star bodyguard in his corner as being delightfully insufferable.
April 29, 20205 yr comment_5915941 Ric Flair vs Barry Windham, 3/14/87 Greensboro 60:00. The last 16 minutes aired on WPW in April, and much of the show aired on Superbouts. What got shown is the high-quality stuff you expect from them.
April 30, 20205 yr comment_5916062 Is this the match included in Ric Flair's first WWE DVD in the chapter about his feud with Barry Windham? Sure seems to coincide with the timeframe on the DVD.

April 30, 20205 yr comment_5916070 Phil, I just discovered that match recently and it does look fantastic. But I believe it is from Atlanta, 2/1/87, not Greensboro. Now I'm not sure...
June 12, 20205 yr comment_5919992 Holy shit!!! How the hell has the December 10, 1976 HBO special from the Atlanta City Auditorium (not the Omni), never surfaced??? Hosted by Gordon Solie and Vince McMahon. I want to see this!!! Raymond Rougeau vs Bill Howard Black Atlas (Tony) vs Scott Irwin Mike Graham vs Bob Orton Jr. The Mongolian Stomper vs Bill Dromo NWA Georgia Heavyweight Title Match Dick Slater (c) vs Mr. Wrestling I NWA World Tag Team Title Match The Andersons (Gene Anderson & Ole Anderson) (c) vs Dusty Rhodes & Ricky Steamboat NWA World Heavyweight Title No Disqualification Match Terry Funk (c) vs Mr. Wrestling II
June 12, 20205 yr comment_5920009 That's interesting. I didnt know Steamer worked so high on the card pre-1977 and his big push in Crockett. This is likely in the HBO archives since they did play a brief clip of it years ago on, I believe, that show where Bob Costas interviewed Vince and he flipped out. Not sure if WWE would also have it
June 16, 20205 yr comment_5920466 Am I correct that for such a 1988 newsletter sensation, the Eddie Gilbert/Willie B. Hert son angle isn't actually in circulation? I chatted with Bix about this and he's not entirely sure either, but I haven't seen it in goc's Continental footage or any other sources of Alabama wrestling. I've found a very brief highlight clip from a certain tape-trader in Western PA, though.
June 16, 20205 yr comment_5920570 Theres a 7 disc set of Continental from 88 that I have never pulled the trigger on but i assumed it was on that?

Where were you getting that set from is the best question...Someone here might know of it or have it and would know the score. I went through my still unwatched Continental from the time frame but that week or two's worth of discs isn't in the pile.

To be honest its a couple of years since i considered it- it was probably someone UK based shilling on facebook at the time, but this is the set http://wrestlingepicenter.com/cart/product_info.php?products_id=864 No idea on reliability of the site but im sure it was meant to be a pretty exhaustive 2nd half of the year. Got me thinking about this again now
June 16, 20205 yr comment_5920577 Interesting. Has the burrhead jones bit from the posted clip but the hert bit before that isn't listed. Could be there I suppose. I've browsed the site previously but I have never gotten anything from them myself.
June 16, 20205 yr comment_5920583 I couldn't find the original angle on Beau James' big 1986-89 set that he was selling, and he said he included everything that he could find. Now, I didn't watch the set comprehensively but I was on the lookout for it as I was ripping discs. It's also not on ArmstrongAlley's Continental playlist on Youtube. Unless the Wrestling Epicenter list is out of order, it goes from 7/9/88 (Humongous vs. Intruder, Davis vs. Alan Martin) to 8/6/88 (Prichard vs. Mike Starr). The angle was on 7/30.
June 16, 20205 yr comment_5920589 Ah you may be right then - the July section of the listing does seem really short. Sorry to get your hopes up! It would still be cool to eventually own these regardless
May 2, 20214 yr Author comment_5950638 A new documentary aired on Michaels/Nash 93-96 on the network today. Disappointed to not see any clips of the Michaels-Jannetty title change from Albany that Nash debuted as bodyguard at, or the tag title change before SSlam 94. I think there was some backstage stuff that was new from Nash title win at MSG. Anything else new popped up lately? John Arezzi says in his new book that the guys that filmed all the ECW events - Ron Buffone’s crew - did film the AAA/ECW Oct95 Chicago show.
May 2, 20214 yr comment_5950658 I just found out there was a Terry Funk vs Lou Thesz match from 1975 that I desperately wish existed on tape somewhere

A CT area charity event held the day before the 1992 Rumble popped up the other day, and was discussed on the most recent Place To Be Nation podcast (covered the Jan 1992 MSG house show).

May 15, 20214 yr comment_5951981 You get a longer clip from the attack on the Continental Wrestling 8/13/88 episode. That clip is still out there. I also came across this which seems pretty cool.
February 18, 20223 yr comment_5975517 Aug 85: Dick Murdoch went on Mid-South TV and addressed his former partner in the WWF, Adrian Adonis. He spoke about how Adonis would not show up for scheduled matches, much like some on the WWF roster were still doing. Murdoch declared that Hulk Hogan was a "no good bar musician". He wrapped up by mentioning how Ric Flair had inflated himself to over 300 pounds thanks to steroids, but now he was clean, 70 pounds lighter and the best wrestler in the world.
September 19, 20223 yr comment_5990850 As far as modern matches go, I'll add Sareee vs. Aja Kong from the February 11, 2019, Diana show. We only have three clipped minutes of footage and it seems phenomenal. Sareeee was arguably on her career run at the time, and I'm a sucker for a good Kong brawl.

That must have been Bill Watts' #1 pet peeve, when JYD left for the WWF the year before he would go on rants for like two TV shows in a row about how despicable it was for no showing the last couple shows he was advertised for before leaving.
