Edit: Never mind, it's on YouTube. Surprised I haven't watched it before. Or maybe I have lol Looks like we might get an extra 3 minutes of it though?

ZOINKS! BLOODBATH! "Where are we wrestling fans? You got it, Comiskey Park. And what's the year? Yeah, you're right again! 1974! And who's that wrestling? That's Pretty Boy Heenan and the Sheik! The Sheik of Araby! Da-da-da da-da-da! You gave your love to me! I remember that song and so did the Sheik, he loved that song!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Ok, the Monroe match is up. Solid VQ. A ~37 year old Solie is commentating. From the 3/26/66 tv show, which also had a Lothario match on it. Hopefully they have that too. Seeing a 32 year old Lothario would be awesome.

Matt D Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 It's silent but it's very vivid, with entrances and some awesome post-match footage. (You still can't entirely see the crowd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachchaos Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Sailor Art Thomas is a local legend so any newish footage of him is welcome along with more Omni goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never quite understood why they would film things like that. Other territories barely valued taping on regular film and the Grahams are out there all avant garde and shit. No it has sound on it and commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write up says it's probably not new, but I don't think I've seen it. I did have this on one of my Bob Luce film comps. There is so much good stuff in the Luce films, and if they are editing Luce's commentary out of it, more people will stick around to enjoy it. Very polarizing commentator, lol. I didn't mind him so much but I look forward seeing the footage without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a commercial, it's a corporate motivational event for Kelloggs management that was filmed for some reason. It's fucking bonkers.

Just imagine how much Saudi money Verne could have gotten if he was able to lure the Iron Sheik into working as a heel on cards in Saudi Arabia as revenge for Sheik not breaking Hogan's leg in 1984.
