Posted August 27Aug 27 comment_6033855 I made a topic about this in the hidden board, but since nobody ever looks there, I figured I might as well make one here, because it's quite the interesting subject. Apparently the NWA ran some wrestling shows in the early 1980s in the Philippines. The country was still under a dictator then, who apparently gave his explicit permission for the shows to be run because he was taking some heat for an assassination. There was a Jr title tournament, and apparently even a Harley Race title defense. Raven Mack talks about it here a bit, and reviewed a tape of the lightweight tournament: https://web.archive.org/web/20121004044522/http://deathvalleydriver.com/dvdvr/dvdvr151.html I'm mostly asking if anyone here knows more about that stuff and if perhaps the footage still exists somewhere. Hector Guerrero vs Les Thornton in Manila in 1983 sounds like the kind of stuff I'd enjoy.
