LowBlowPodcast Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Is there footage of Bret vs Andre from France? He wrote about it in his book and would definitely be fun to see. Nevermind that. It is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Looking for additions to expand on the Puro list post-70s. This is all that's been mentioned over the years in the old thread at DVDVR and here. Granted a lot has popped up since this started, but there has to be some big ones that have been overlooked and need mentioning. Here's all there is at the moment... Bryan Danielson vs Minoru Suzuki - NJPW 7/20/04 According to Bryan, that match wasn't taped. Doubt there's a fan cam of a random house show in 04'.

ohtani's jacket Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 A few British ones: The White Angel vs. Dr. Death, 1962 (famous mask match from Paul Lincoln Promotions, probably not taped) Mick McManus vs .Jackie Pallo, 5/25/63 (McManus vs. Pallo II, said to be better than their first match) Kendo Nagasaki vs. Count Bartelli, 3/5/66 (famous mask match, probably not taped) Mick McManus vs. Peter Preston, 1/14/67 (Preston shoots on McManus, famous double cross finish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I am not entirely sure what's new on that list. I do not think I have seen Watts vs Funk but I might have just missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've never known footage of Flair vs Rogers to be out there beforeAlso, I think Bruno vs Steele may be from Philly and was on an old CHV tape. There was no MSG show on that date and Bruno worked different guys there in 1970I watched a Funk vs Watts Tri States match on youtube not that long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 As much as anything I am excited about the accessibility and some of this stuff creeping into the "WWE universe"... even if it is as hidden/rare. Most of it is stuff I haven't come across so I will make my way through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victory Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 The Kerry vs Ladd match sounds fun due to it being from 81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Really liked the vibe of the WCW Lucha pilot - the way they changed the presentation to hue closer to lucha TV, the venue choice seeming to match as well. Match was solid - liked Fit Finlay playing the dick outside outside the ring, he and Jericho might have had something working together there.

khawk20 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I could have sworn I saw clips of Rogers/Flair years ago with someone talking over it on a territory era show. Were there clips of it on the NWA doc release a while back? There was a section of footage shot by one guy from ringside that was included from that era.

Ricky Jackson Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I watched that match last night and I believe it is the one the mags made famous from Greensboro. It is just like all the garbage tape stuff with several cuts. I want to say the Crockett doc had footage from Virginia shows, but I don't really know because I've never seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpetCrawler Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The footage of Rogers-Flair is absolutely fantastic and well worth it alone. I'm curious the real origin of the Steele-Sammartino cage match. I don't think I've ever seen this specific match before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 If the WWE's date on Flair/Rogers is accurate, then it's from Norfolk. I've found ads and newspaper results for such a match on 11/22/79, from the Scope. The paper also reported it as a Rogers win, which the footage seems to support though one person who was in attendance that night told me Flair won by DQ, and footage supports the possibility of a reverse-decision finish as well. From what we see the match looks awesome. The standard line on Rogers is that his bad heart prevented him from working more than a minute or so at a time, but he sure looks to be going all-out here for a guy in his late 50's with health issues (though he's obviously in great physical shape as well). It was really cool to see him take Flair's delayed suplex and bump around the ring for him to the degree that he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conker8 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 It was the Thanksgiving show from Norfolk. You can see Bill Apter at ringside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Then it probably was on the NWA doc. I just assumed the Apter photographed match between them was from Greensboro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Also, watch the Snuka/Rogers vs Albano/Stevens match from Philly 11/25/82 for more proof that Buddy was awesome in old age. It's on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
