sek69 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Would the 80's Worldwide episodes be a good addition to the network? Or does the network already having the 80's World Championship Wrestling show from that period make Worldwide redundant? Worldwide tended to have more competitive matches and more angle advancement. It would definitely be a great addition to the existing content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southofheavy Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I would KILL to have the entire run of Worldwide on the Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Is there a good reason the Coliseum Home Videos aren't even discussed as going up? Don't quote me on this but I swore I saw something earlier in the thread about how the masters aren't transferable to the technology which makes it possible to upload them.

I know 85 is pretty easy to get online, I think 86 may have some gaps they could fil, not sure on 87. With all the Mid-Atlantic, Dallas, and Mid-South they've put up, I think we should all be cheering for good financial numbers for the company to see what else they might do.

iamthedoctor Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Does Thunder really warrant being "long awaited"? I don't recall too many stand out moments from the first year or so I watched in real time The first 6 months it did yes. Wish they would hurry up with it as it should of been on there by now considering Raw and Smackdown are. Its probably more to satisfy the AE completists out there. Granted there is still Saturday Night (especially the last year or so where Jimmy Hart essentially made it like a separate promotion from Nitro/Thunder/PPVs!), Heat, Shotgun Saturday Night, etc still untapped on the Network, but WCWs intended B-Show to battle Smackdown still has significance to the main storylines of WCW towards the end. Used to love that show on DSF before Hogan came in as they had quite alot of good matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely be a great addition to the existing content. It was really kind of a separate universe in a lot of ways to World Championship Wrestling. You had guys that would appear on one show and not the other. The angles were usually the same though. But they are not super redundant and add a lot of good context to some feuds like Valiant/Jones.

PeteF3 Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 What makes '80s Worldwide and Pro for me are the absolutely insane crowds. Even something like Black Bart vs. Sam Houston may as well be Armageddon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 What makes '80s Worldwide and Pro for me are the absolutely insane crowds. Even something like Black Bart vs. Sam Houston may as well be Armageddon. I totally agree. Nothing beats an arena audience. The atmosphere of Worldwide and Pro were great. I grew up on studio shows. Nowadays I have a hard time watching mostly squashes in front of that small studio crowd. Only the interviews are worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I like Tully squashes a lot from the mid 80s. He gives just a little bit to a lot of the jobbers which leads to fun matches. I also enjoy Koloff and the Midnights just murdering jobbers left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I want them to do a Rarities show. Give us the stuff in your archives that has never been released in any form, WWE. And don't limit it to one company! House show matches, no whammies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Did WCW ever tape their house shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Indeed they did. Clips would randomly pop up on TV from time to time, suggesting there's lots of archival footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'd love to catch some of that. I'm sure there's a few hidden Eddie or Mysterio gems from the early Nitro era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Indeed they did. Clips would randomly pop up on TV from time to time, suggesting there's lots of archival footage. There was a clip when WCW went on QVC of a house show im guessing WCW supplied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I remember Mayfield use to have a DVD of a WCW house show in Los Angeles. I think there was a cruiserweight title change on it as well So there is probably plenty others somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there was a tour of the UK show where Vader and Sting traded the belt as pics were shown in a UK wrestling mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Those Sting vs. Vader title changes were both taped, as was a Davey Boy Smith vs. Vinnie Vegas match from Manchester that actually aired on TV despite looking (at times) like a fancam.

Considering that match got aired Im guessing they filmed the whole show so WWE could show a unseen Vader/Cactus match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNLister Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not sure if WCW themselves taped the match where Vader regained the title in Dublin. As I always heard it, the full copy of that match that tape traders had came from Doc Dean being at ringside to get B-roll footage, particularly of Regal, for the Robbie Brookside video diaries and having the sense/luck to record the main event.
