Wrestlerock...

Frank Jewett used the ESPN Classics version on his Digest. By far, the best VQ we have of the show. The 24/7 version I have is pixellated to shit and the Lynch version from his tapes is pretty rough. KHawk, do you have the ESPN Classics version that Frank used? If so, I need it for the Rotundo/Windham v Fabs tag.

 

I definitely need this...

Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Rick Martel (9/29/85) (Supermix 1)

 

I have no idea if I have these in the best VQ (I can check the VQ Frank used on his digests) ...

Buddy Rose & Doug Somers vs. Midnight Rockers (Cage Match) (12/25/86) (AWA Brawl in St. Paul) (WWE Classics on Demand)

Nick Bockwinkel © vs. Curt Hennig (12/25/86) (AWA Brawl in St. Paul) (WWE Classics on Demand)

 

 

Kris, look for my disc with my handwriting that has these...

Col. DeBeers vs. Buck Zumhofe (2/23/86) (AWA 1986 Handhelds 2)

Nick Bockwinkel vs. Larry Zbyszko (2/23/86) (AWA 1986 Handhelds 2)

Stan Hansen vs. Sgt. Slaughter (2/23/86) (AWA 1986 Handhelds 2)

KHawk, do you have the ESPN Classics version that Frank used? If so, I need it for the Rotundo/Windham v Fabs tag.

I have this:

 

7 AWA Classics: AWA Wrestlerock 1986 3 hours VG+/EX-

Selected matches from the AWA Supercard including Hansen vs. Bockwinkel, Rockers

Vs. Rose and Somers, Tiger Mask vs. Zumhofe, Fabulous Ones vs. Windham/Rotondo,

Martel vs. Race, Road Warriors, Brody, more.

 

...and this, from when it originally aired on 24/7:

 

296 WWE 24/7: AWA Wrestlerock 4/20/86 Part 1 2 hr 3 min EX-

includes highlight from Super Clash 4 (Saito vs. Zbyszko), Rheingans vs. Zurkov, Midget

Tag match, McDaniel vs. DeBeers, Rockers vs. Rose/Somers, Tiger Mask vs. Zumhofe,

Windham/Rotondo vs. Fabulous Ones, Bulldog Brown vs. Giant Baba, Race vs. Martel.

 

I haven't looked at the first one in some time but I don't think it's as good as the 24/7 version, which aired not to long after the service debuted judging from the dvd number.

 

I have the AWA classics version, and the recent 24/7 version of Brawl in St. Paul. Have you seen the recent airing of the show on 24/7?

 

I taped the Tsuruta-Martel match right off of TV back in the day, so that one is as good as you can probably get.

 

I have the HH stuff if the other guys can't find it.

Curt Hennig vs. Greg Gagne (6/12/88) AWA Super Mix #25

- The match from the Super Mix has really low audio and ok VQ. Do we have this episode of All Star Wrestling which I feel is probably the correct match?

If Curt is not the Champ, then this is the one.

That is the best VQ available by my memory.

 

Sarge went back and forth with and without the mask. Hell, he unmasked on TV during an interview at Heenan's request (I think that is on a later Super Mix disc (#33). After Bravo unmasked him on TV, he would wear it and take it off sort of randomly.

 

Also, notice the date on that match and then compare it to Slaughter's debut in the WWF. Hell, he was getting titl shots with Backlund at MSG in October! It's a good illustration of how these guys would sometimes overlap leaving one place and starting in another. Ventura and Adonis leaving the AWA in late Novmber/early December 81 and Adonis getting a title match at MSG in January 82 is the other immediate example I think of.

Buddy Rose & Doug Somers vs. Midnight Rockers (Cage Match) (12/25/86) (AWA Brawl in St. Paul) (WWE Classics on Demand)

 

Got this off of the Spectacular Legacy of AWA DVD.

Forgot that one was on there.

 

I'll check on the other ones, I think most of Bock-Hennig disc 2 is available in better VQ in other places.

 

Bock/Saito vs. Hennigs (11/8/84)...what disc are you getting that off of? I have it here:

768 AWA Super Mix 20: Winnipeg 1985 Mix C 2 hours

5/23/85 Bockwinkel/Saito vs. The Hennigs 19:25 complete VG

 

StarCage's VQ is about as good as it gets, however there's a few matches from it possibly in better VQ floating around.

 

...looking at 30-ish discs if you need all the AWA 24/7 stuff. Might be better to cherry pick certain discs out of that pile as it will be awhile before I am home enough to burn all of them (like next week).

 

List me what matches you need off of Bock vs. Hennig vol 2 and I'll see where else I might have them.

Am I missing anything else?

Mad Dog Vachon/Baron Von Raschke v. Jerry Blackwell/Adnan Al-Kaissie

 

This is the FULL match with pre-match angle allowing faces to tape their fist and the entire post-match riot. This ist he version that needs to make the set.

From the Rarities #3. Dylan said this was the complete match but the Blackwell #5 match is incomplete or JIP? Also, guessing if this is the only complete version of this match, we keep it on but there is some rough VQ making it hard for me to enjoy watching this with the static and shaking going on :(
