There may be issues with footage featuring the non WCW folks on those shows.

I find it curious we haven't gotten the USA PPV specials from before 1993 though. 

They all aired as Prime Time Wrestling episodes and the first wrestling-centric one was Survivor Series Showdown '89, so once we actually get to that timeframe for PTW we will hopefully see those pop up.

Have seen hints that this week's shows might be the MTV specials from 1985.

You were on the money. Where were you seeing the hints?

Scott Keith of all people was posting about it earlier in the week.

Indeed, that is where I saw it.

Sadly, it seems that both shows have inexplicably been removed.

I would wager there was probably some music that wasn't dubbed properly or somesuch thing. That's usually the reason things get pulled that fast.

Join Tony Schiavone, Gene Okerlund and Bobby Heenan as they count down the 10 greatest Clash of the Champions matches of all time.

Yeah, there was one on March 6, 1994.

I remember taping that one. The match that stuck out for me was seeing the Thunderdome match from Halloween Havoc 89.

Jerry Lawler & Jimmy Valiant vs. Kerry von Erich & Michael Hayes

Any sense of how much of this has been out there?

Some of it looks fresh but it'll need to be compared to the AWA tv shows that this stuff was used on. 

Lawler and valiant vs Hayes and Kerry immediately stands out. The rest I think aired. Maybe not gagne vs enos.

Early Scott Steiner should be fun to see.

Not as much fun as you would hope unfortunately. 

They did two or three tv tapings down that way on consecutive nights as I recall so maybe next September we will get another on of those nights. I recall a bad company vs RPMs match from that tour that I don't see on that match list for example. 

Didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in this thread, but Harley Race vs Jack Brisco from 1978 Florida is a nice little treat I don’t recall seeing before. Pretty much both guys in their prime. No commentary. Super heat for Jack, and Race booed heavily. I think this might be a much longer much, probably broadway, clipped down to about 12 minutes.

I also watched Buzz Sawyer vs Ted DiBiase from the 1983 Omni show, but too much stalling in the early going but Sawyer was super over with that crowd. For a match containing these two, I disappointed it didn’t contain even one scoop powerslam. BS finish also.

Was bummed to see it was pretty much a squash, did enjoy watching Ronnie pass off a AWA tag belt as the TV title (what was up with that, I know they actually had a belt made).

The clips of Flair vs Valentine make it look like one of the best matches of all time. Is there a full match from these two from that era anywhere? The stuff in the clips looks phenomenal.

Piper vs Valentine is absolutely awesome as everyone has said. I’d drop major snowflakes on it were I in that sort of mood. Hot crowd, intense physical action. Awesome mix of brawling and wrestling. Piper red hot as a face.

 

Can anyone remember where Greg landed in the GWE? The guy was incredible, and had a good 8-10 year peak. I wish we had more full matches from 1980, because it seems his Mid-Atlantic run was electric.

A quick check shows he landed 54th. He is one of the guys who I think the footage we’ve gotten in recent years would bump him up a little bit.
