I'll have to look at the whole lineup to be sure. 

 

  1. Buck Zumhofe vs. Steve Regal.
  2. Larry Sharpe vs. Bobby Duncum.
  3. The Samoans vs. Tom Zenk and Steve Olsonoski.
  4. Kendo Nagasaki vs. Jim Duggan.
  5. Jimmy Garvin vs. Baron von Raschke.
  6. The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Highflyers and Tonga Kid.
  7. AWA Americas Heavyweight Title:Larry Zbyszko vs. Bob Backlund.
  8. AWA World Heavyweight Title: Rick Martel vs. King Tonga.
  9. AWA World Tag Team Titles: The Road Warriors vs. Curt Hennig and Larry Hennig.
  10. Ugandan Death Match: Kamala vs. Sgt. Slaughter.

With a two hour runtime, we are likely not getting the whole card. The world does not need another Buck vs Regal match.

Who can even watch a Buck Zumhofe match period ? The guy sexually abused his own daughter for 12 years straight. It amazes me that this guy's matches are even featured.

Yeah. I could MAYBE see someone watch one of his Heenan matches just for Heenan but I can't see myself ever watching any of his stuff again personally.

I feel like they're not really "featuring" him, just including his stuff as a documentation of what happened for the sake of historical context. Which might just be my overblown way of attempting to justify it. 

I mean, I felt really turned off when he showed up WrestleRock just as I was getting ready to watch a U.S. Misawa/Tiger Mask match, but at least I know it's there if I want it and can skip it if I don't. (Sucked that I saw a Bret Hart in Hawaii tag match on YouTube recently and I had to can it because he showed up there too, but again, same principal.) 

As long as they're not pulling up individual matches for Hidden Gems or throwing him onto Triple H collections as an example of an early HHH WWF squash, then I'm fine enough with exercising the right to hope that fucking pig rots in piss, then moving on with the skip button.

They definitely seem to be reorganizing how some of the previously posted Hidden Gem stuff is classified. I tried using the search function and some things came up, some things didnt come up, though it's possible I wasnt searching for the exactly worded title, as the new search function seems incredibly unforgiving.

For example, i searched for "Crockett Cup" and it was listed under the heading "Tournaments", but searching for the Tazmaniac dark match from a couple weeks back, "AWA Team Challenge Series", and "Mid-South Wrestlefest" was listed under an "Originals" header. 

So I am keeping my fingers crossed that having a dedicated section for this is just an oversight that will be corrected shortly, or given more clarity.
