Ricky Jackson Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 If true, that's major newsDoing the Stampede retrospective on Titans has me ridiculously excited by the Dave Ruhl vs Marella match, as there is no footage of Ruhl out there as far as I know. He was one of the territories top stars during the 50s- 60s era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I think the Marella-Ruhl match has aired on WWE 24/7 before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 So if that's the actual Last Battle of Atlanta, then it must have been in the Georgia footage they got in the WCW/JCP vault. If so, how did that stay lost for so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachchaos Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I really hope it's not just JBL talking about the match over a bunch of stills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyPulis'Cap Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Has the Hart-Funk match seen the light of day before? I think it's from the Terry Funk's Wrestlefest show.? Yep, it's on Terry Funk's Wrestlefest 1997. I had this on VHS, as it was released by a company I think called Deltavision (?) in the UK. Just before the ECW rites were officially purchased by WWE they put out lots of the non PPV ECW shows which you could get in places like HMV. The Funk/Hart match is really good from my hazy memory. With Bret being in the middle of his heel anti US run, he works a really old school match, which is a lot different from a much of what Funk was doing in ECW at time. There were some other pretty interesting matches on the show as well including a Sabu/Foley match, but with Mick in his Mankind persona. The Dory Funk/RVD match is something of a styles clash if I recall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
