Bix Posted January 19, 2018 Report 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. ...how? They put a bunch on Classics on Demand, regardless. Quote
Mad Dog Posted January 19, 2018 Report 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. 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 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
victory Posted January 21, 2018 Report 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
Mad Dog Posted January 21, 2018 Report 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
Loss Posted January 21, 2018 Report 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
FMKK Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Did WCW ever tape their house shows? Quote
Loss Posted January 21, 2018 Report 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
FMKK Posted January 22, 2018 Report 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
iamthedoctor Posted January 22, 2018 Report 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
hammerva Posted January 22, 2018 Report 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

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
Lee Posted January 23, 2018 Report 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. Quote

Considering that match got aired Im guessing they filmed the whole show so WWE could show a unseen Vader/Cactus match. Quote
JNLister Posted January 24, 2018 Report 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.

Did Regal wrestle on that show? I remember Cactus/Rude and Windham/Rhodes battled and a few others. Quote
PeteF3 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones. Quote
Grimmas Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones. Yes! FINALLY! Quote
sek69 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 That's neat. Makes sense too, since a lot were already converted for WWE On Demand so it's an easy way to add a lot of content for minimal effort. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 Well, guess it's time for me to eat my words. Awesome news. Quote
iamthedoctor Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones. Yes! FINALLY! That is great news. If there is one thing that needs to be uploaded its the 20 tape series of Best of the WWF. Quote
JRH Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 At least 10 of the upcoming Videos have been revealed: http://www.wwe.com/wwe-network-2018-collections Looks kinda "eh", though Invasion of the Bodyslammers does have a Flair vs Perfect dark match that should be ok, and I liked Brains Behind the Brawn as a kid for some reason. Quote
Hawkeye12 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 I've never seen the Royal Albert Hall video, so looking forward to that one. Unusual Matches was one of my favorite tapes back in the rental days, although I've seen it fifty times since I copied it back then. Quote
Sean Liska Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 The Royal Albert Hall show is really fun and unique with the venue, you'll enjoy it. Quote

Yeah that Flair/Perfect match was v.good IIRC. Quote
