September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766500 Their "Netflix and chill" should be "WWE Network and watch the Survivor Series match with all the tag teams from 1988 for the 381st time " It's funny because its true (for me)

September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766506 If true, that's major newsDoing the Stampede retrospective on Titans has me ridiculously excited by the Dave Ruhl vs Marella match, as there is no footage of Ruhl out there as far as I know. He was one of the territories top stars during the 50s- 60s era
September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766528 Has the Hart-Funk match seen the light of day before? I think it's from the Terry Funk's Wrestlefest show.?
September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766529 So if that's the actual Last Battle of Atlanta, then it must have been in the Georgia footage they got in the WCW/JCP vault. If so, how did that stay lost for so long?
September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766531 I really hope it's not just JBL talking about the match over a bunch of stills.
September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766532 And I almost wish that wasn't even listed on there, since the rest of the stuff is worth getting excited about regardless.
September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766541 I remember them already doing a Last Battle of Atlanta segment on the network with just promos and still shots with narration .
September 3, 20169 yr comment_5766543 I should know better, but I hope this means that someone is realizing throwing a bone to older fans isn't a bad thing.
September 4, 20169 yr comment_5766612 I remember them already doing a Last Battle of Atlanta segment on the network with just promos and still shots with narration . there was this article on wwe.com
September 4, 20169 yr comment_5766613 I remember them already doing a Last Battle of Atlanta segment on the network with just promos and still shots with narration . there was this article on wwe.com You know, that might be what I'm thinking of, actually.
September 4, 20169 yr comment_5766614 This video has actual footage.. https://www.facebook.com/roywarrenlucier/videos/10207271206564606/
September 4, 20169 yr comment_5766617 Technically it's footage of Ellering in the mini cage and Ole vs Ellering after Rich defeated Buzz...almost like they know they are fucking with the minds of the footage obsessives
September 4, 20169 yr comment_5766640 idk...if Roy Lucier thinks they have it then they've got it imo
September 4, 20169 yr comment_5766644 Oh I'm sure they do, it's just funny that the two clips they chose for the trailer don't include either Rich or Buzz
September 5, 20169 yr comment_5766657 Oh I'm sure they do, it's just funny that the two clips they chose for the trailer don't include either Rich or Buzz The theory I've seen is they won't put blood in a promo package.
September 5, 20169 yr comment_5766661 Possibly, but it's not like they were bleeding when the match started or for the first few minutes
September 5, 20169 yr comment_5766662 Anyway, who cares. It's the Last motherfucking Battle of Atlanta!!! Do you believe in miracles? Yesssss!
September 5, 20169 yr comment_5766674 Anyway, who cares. It's the Last motherfucking Battle of Atlanta!!! Do you believe in miracles? Yesssss! I want a watch party for this. I'll bring crackers and EZ Cheeze
September 5, 20169 yr comment_5766706 Has the Hart-Funk match seen the light of day before? I think it's from the Terry Funk's Wrestlefest show.? Yep, it's on Terry Funk's Wrestlefest 1997. I had this on VHS, as it was released by a company I think called Deltavision (?) in the UK. Just before the ECW rites were officially purchased by WWE they put out lots of the non PPV ECW shows which you could get in places like HMV. The Funk/Hart match is really good from my hazy memory. With Bret being in the middle of his heel anti US run, he works a really old school match, which is a lot different from a much of what Funk was doing in ECW at time. There were some other pretty interesting matches on the show as well including a Sabu/Foley match, but with Mick in his Mankind persona. The Dory Funk/RVD match is something of a styles clash if I recall...
