Edit: Never mind, it's on YouTube. Surprised I haven't watched it before. Or maybe I have lol Looks like we might get an extra 3 minutes of it though?

ZOINKS! BLOODBATH! "Where are we wrestling fans? You got it, Comiskey Park. And what's the year? Yeah, you're right again! 1974! And who's that wrestling? That's Pretty Boy Heenan and the Sheik! The Sheik of Araby! Da-da-da da-da-da! You gave your love to me! I remember that song and so did the Sheik, he loved that song!"
February 21, 20196 yr comment_5880116 Ok, the Monroe match is up. Solid VQ. A ~37 year old Solie is commentating. From the 3/26/66 tv show, which also had a Lothario match on it. Hopefully they have that too. Seeing a 32 year old Lothario would be awesome.
February 21, 20196 yr comment_5880129 It's silent but it's very vivid, with entrances and some awesome post-match footage. (You still can't entirely see the crowd).

February 28, 20196 yr comment_5880652 @khawk20 Flagging you on the Outlaws match. Write up says it's probably not new, but I don't think I've seen it.
February 28, 20196 yr comment_5880653 Sailor Art Thomas is a local legend so any newish footage of him is welcome along with more Omni goodness.
February 28, 20196 yr comment_5880654 That outlaw match is probably Luce film so it is likely out there but I'll have to check my listings.
February 28, 20196 yr comment_5880655 ...although Ladd and Thomas as a team doesn't ring a bell with me off the top of my head.

I never quite understood why they would film things like that. Other territories barely valued taping on regular film and the Grahams are out there all avant garde and shit. No it has sound on it and commentary.

I did have this on one of my Bob Luce film comps. There is so much good stuff in the Luce films, and if they are editing Luce's commentary out of it, more people will stick around to enjoy it. Very polarizing commentator, lol. I didn't mind him so much but I look forward seeing the footage without it.
March 7, 20196 yr comment_5881214 For March 7, 2019 The Battle of Breakfast Cereal – 05/01/1989 (Hyatt Hotel – Minneapolis, MN) This is effectively a 1-hour commercial sponsored by Kellogg’s. Featuring 4 matches, each wrestler represents a different food product (separated into Kellogg’s and General Mills teams)

It's not a commercial, it's a corporate motivational event for Kelloggs management that was filmed for some reason. It's fucking bonkers.
March 9, 20196 yr comment_5881320 If Verne did this for Kellogg’s, can you imagine what he would do for Saudi money?

Just imagine how much Saudi money Verne could have gotten if he was able to lure the Iron Sheik into working as a heel on cards in Saudi Arabia as revenge for Sheik not breaking Hogan's leg in 1984.
