DVDVR Best Matches of the 1980's (So Far)

[AA484]

Ah, thanks for that.

Unless the ranking is for a different Boot Camp Match, the MSG match aired on MSG Network complete.

 

We also got a video quality upgrade since this was on the Best of WWE at MSG DVD.

 

Eddie Gilbert & Ricky Morton vs. Masa Fuchi & Atsushi Onita (Memphis 9/4/81) ***Complete***

 

We really only have post match for this one too, the match proceeding the brawl is joined in progress

 

Which is why it's sort of insane that it finished 20th on the DVDVR Memphis results. Don't get me wrong, I love the fight, but it's a post-match angle, not a match. The Louisville Brawl from earlier in the year is almost as entertaining, but wasn't in contention for similar reasons I assume.

That's part of the reason why I labeled it complete; because it was part of the set. I actually originally watched it on the set and couldn't remember exactly how much was shown of the actual match.

Don Muraco vs. Jimmy Snuka (WWF 7/23/83) ***Complete***

-According to Graham's site, this aired on USA Network, although I've never seen a copy.

I have this full Landover MD show and I sent it to Peach a few weeks ago.

I also have the 7/16/83 Philly and 7/30/83 MSG Snuka-Muraco matches.

I also thought that this match was missing a few minutes at the beginning...

 

Rick Martel vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (AWA 9/29/85) ***Complete***

[AA484]

If it was *nearly* complete I went ahead and counted it as such.

The first Flair NWA title win is really something the Network should produce. Damn shame not to have more than the finish to such a historic match.

 

I've been on the hunt for this. Haven't found anything concrete yet, but:

 

 

So there could at least be footage of their 8/7/81 match in STL since Dusty's jacket says '81 on it.

Johnny P or someone should do a documentary on the hunt for footage.
