January 19, 20187 yr comment_5828683 Is there a good reason the Coliseum Home Videos aren't even discussed as going up? Don't quote me on this but I swore I saw something earlier in the thread about how the masters aren't transferable to the technology which makes it possible to upload them. ...how? They put a bunch on Classics on Demand, regardless.
January 19, 20187 yr comment_5828685 Would the 80's Worldwide episodes be a good addition to the network? Or does the network already having the 80's World Championship Wrestling show from that period make Worldwide redundant? Worldwide tended to have more competitive matches and more angle advancement. It would definitely be a great addition to the existing content. It was really kind of a separate universe in a lot of ways to World Championship Wrestling. You had guys that would appear on one show and not the other. The angles were usually the same though. But they are not super redundant and add a lot of good context to some feuds like Valiant/Jones.
January 20, 20187 yr comment_5828698 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.
January 21, 20187 yr comment_5828799 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. I totally agree. Nothing beats an arena audience. The atmosphere of Worldwide and Pro were great. I grew up on studio shows. Nowadays I have a hard time watching mostly squashes in front of that small studio crowd. Only the interviews are worth watching.
January 21, 20187 yr comment_5828800 I like Tully squashes a lot from the mid 80s. He gives just a little bit to a lot of the jobbers which leads to fun matches. I also enjoy Koloff and the Midnights just murdering jobbers left and right.
January 21, 20187 yr comment_5828804 I want them to do a Rarities show. Give us the stuff in your archives that has never been released in any form, WWE. And don't limit it to one company! House show matches, no whammies.
January 21, 20187 yr comment_5828852 Indeed they did. Clips would randomly pop up on TV from time to time, suggesting there's lots of archival footage.
January 22, 20187 yr comment_5828876 I'd love to catch some of that. I'm sure there's a few hidden Eddie or Mysterio gems from the early Nitro era
January 22, 20187 yr comment_5828908 Indeed they did. Clips would randomly pop up on TV from time to time, suggesting there's lots of archival footage. There was a clip when WCW went on QVC of a house show im guessing WCW supplied.
January 22, 20187 yr comment_5828923 I remember Mayfield use to have a DVD of a WCW house show in Los Angeles. I think there was a cruiserweight title change on it as well So there is probably plenty others somewhere.

I remember there was a tour of the UK show where Vader and Sting traded the belt as pics were shown in a UK wrestling mag.
January 23, 20187 yr comment_5829064 Those Sting vs. Vader title changes were both taped, as was a Davey Boy Smith vs. Vinnie Vegas match from Manchester that actually aired on TV despite looking (at times) like a fancam.
January 23, 20187 yr comment_5829105 Those Sting vs. Vader title changes were both taped, as was a Davey Boy Smith vs. Vinnie Vegas match from Manchester that actually aired on TV despite looking (at times) like a fancam. Considering that match got aired Im guessing they filmed the whole show so WWE could show a unseen Vader/Cactus match.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_5829210 Not sure if WCW themselves taped the match where Vader regained the title in Dublin. As I always heard it, the full copy of that match that tape traders had came from Doc Dean being at ringside to get B-roll footage, particularly of Regal, for the Robbie Brookside video diaries and having the sense/luck to record the main event.

Did Regal wrestle on that show? I remember Cactus/Rude and Windham/Rhodes battled and a few others.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829304 Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829307 Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones. Yes! FINALLY!
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829308 That's neat. Makes sense too, since a lot were already converted for WWE On Demand so it's an easy way to add a lot of content for minimal effort.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829351 Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones. Yes! FINALLY! That is great news. If there is one thing that needs to be uploaded its the 20 tape series of Best of the WWF.
January 29, 20187 yr comment_5830472 At least 10 of the upcoming Videos have been revealed: http://www.wwe.com/wwe-network-2018-collections Looks kinda "eh", though Invasion of the Bodyslammers does have a Flair vs Perfect dark match that should be ok, and I liked Brains Behind the Brawn as a kid for some reason.
January 30, 20187 yr comment_5830478 I've never seen the Royal Albert Hall video, so looking forward to that one. Unusual Matches was one of my favorite tapes back in the rental days, although I've seen it fifty times since I copied it back then.
January 30, 20187 yr comment_5830578 The Royal Albert Hall show is really fun and unique with the venue, you'll enjoy it.

Yeah that Flair/Perfect match was v.good IIRC.
