flyonthewall2983 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 This was quite a revelation seeing some guys I'd only associated with WWF, particularly Flair, Piper and DiBiase. The music used in both these montages was quite good.
Loss Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Posted August 20, 2011 Dusty Rhodes, Stan Hansen, Ron Garvin, Tony Atlas, Magnum T.A., Buzz Sawyer, Mr. Wrestling II, Great Kabuki, Ted DiBiase, Bill Watts, Wahoo McDaniel, Masked Superstar, Jimmy Valiant, King Kong Bundy, The Spoiler, Iron Sheik, Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair, Terry Funk, Tommy Rich and Roddy Piper are spotlighted.
Tim Evans Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Interesting to see Mid South footage on WCW tv.
shoe Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Just super cool. This was handeled so much better here than at the Slamboree ppv's.
BackToBionic Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 This was really cool and good to see that they didn't just use it as an excuse to bury all the talent that was in the WWF at the time, as these type of segments usually do.
Kevin Ridge Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 Nice package of all those guys being showed. Blanchard's clip seemed to be shorter than everyone else.
WingedEagle Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Now this is a package. Clips of Dusty, Hansen, Ron Garvin, Tony Atlas, Magnum, Buzz Sawyer, Mr. Wrestling 2, Kabuki, Dibiase, Watts, Wahoo, Masked Superstar, Jimmy Valiant, Bundy, The Spoiler, Iron Sheik, Blanchard, Flair, Funk, Rich and Piper. I could watch 3 hours of just this.
PeteF3 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 Get the rest of this shit out of the vault, WWE! I don't know if this worked for everybody, but for me seeing DiBiase, Piper, and Andre working for "the NWA" as I knew it actually increased WCW's cache, rather than making them look like a TNA-style knock-off promotion.
JerryvonKramer Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Found myself oddly affected by this and even teared up. Interesting to see Mid South footage on WCW tv. Pretty sure it was Dibiase in GCW in 84 in that clip.
garretta Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 I'll just echo what everyone else has said: this was a brilliant montage. I could have stood to see a little more JCP footage, though. The only two clips I could identify as JCP were Dusty's and Tully's. Even Jimmy Valiant's clip had Gordon on commentary, which meant It was most likely from Georgia. Teddy's clip was from Georgia, but Magnum's was from Mid-South, which had a short run on TBS in '85. Boyd Pierce's voice on commentary is the giveaway.
dawho5 Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 This was really, really good. They were celebrating TBS specifically, so it would have been whatever promotions TBS was airing at the time. The Tony Atlas footage surprised me with that athletic jump kick he threw. Hadn't seen enough Tony Atlas in his younger years to know he did that kind of stuff.
JRH Posted December 23, 2021 Report Posted December 23, 2021 Odd that there were no clips of Lex Luger.
