Ricky Jackson Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I think this counts as "modern" since it's on Youtube. Anyway, I spent the morning putting together these playlists for your convenience. With the explosion of 70-80s WWF house shows on Youtube (thanks to landy1987, the Wrestling Collector, and some others) I thought I would organize them by arena and in chronological order. I've started with the Big 3--MSG, Spectrum and Boston Garden. I'll add more arena playlists later. Enjoy while it lasts.

landy1987 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks, easier for me to look what I can still add on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakkSabbath Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 This is great! Thank you very much for these. Watching MSG 4/24/89, and man, what a trip it is to hear the team of Tony Schiavone and Lord Alfred calling the matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 If anyone is looking at this stuff and planning to watch it later, I'd advise downloading it as you can never be too sure how long stuff like this is going to actually stay up on youtube.

Ricky Jackson Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4hDFIp3s2Y Has anyone seen the Savage vs Steamboat match from this show that was just uploaded? I think their epic Toronto match was the next day. Can't say I recall anyone ever talking about this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Having just watched it I realize why it hasn't been pimped. Pretty by-the-numbers stuff. Interesting that the Toronto match the next day was so different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Has anyone seen the Savage vs Steamboat match from this show that was just uploaded? I think their epic Toronto match was the next day. Can't say I recall anyone ever talking about this one I've been working on a book reviewing every Savage match available (save for some bog standard squashes and some stuff we thought existed but couldn't find), and although it wasn't me reviewing those two matches specifically, the ratings jumped from ***1/4 to ****1/2 for those two matches. Of all of their singles matches together, if you take WrestleMania out of the equation, Toronto is by far the best one. Most of the others would be considered "good" to "really good", but Toronto is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The install doesn't work for me for some reason. Thanks anyway. 4k Video Downloader is what I use -- I think it is free for playlists up to 25 videos or something, but I've been using the paid version for a while as I like the option to subscribe to a channel and have it auto-download for me and such.

Sean Liska Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just want to say thanks for this, I'm having a lot of fun going through early 80's house shows. New York territorial footage has never been a huge priority for me but this makes it so easy to follow and I'm enjoying things a lot more than I thought I would.

sek69 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu6pvS_jSD0 This is a great show building up to WM 3. Not only do we get the build up promos showing Hulk was supposed to team with Andre before the turn we get the original Demolition with Randy Colley, and a six man with Blackjack Mulligan teaming with the US Express (who I thought were gone by this time).

landy1987 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I wanted to include those first few Piper's Pits setting up the Hogan/Andre feud in my Meadowlands video but they kept getting blocked so I had to just stick to the matches from the show. Would there be any interest if I did another TV taping video like this using all the matches available from a certain taping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah, I think it's a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Looks like the end is nigh for the 80s house show uploads as some vids are finally being taken down. Things may continue underground...the rebellion must continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I really enjoyed the house show with Bruno vs Patera and Backlund vs Larry. Also, the History of the WWF Title CV is really fun when Heenan is commentating on an Ivan Koloff match or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I feared Landy was flying too close to the sun when he started posting Coliseum Video stuff last week, that seems to be the death knell on all of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
