tallmike Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I'm hoping them doing this kind of stuff means we'll eventually see the WCW Japan Supershows, Collision in Korea, and When Worlds Collide on the Network.

They all aired as Prime Time Wrestling episodes and the first wrestling-centric one was Survivor Series Showdown '89, so once we actually get to that timeframe for PTW we will hopefully see those pop up.

JRH Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Sadly, it seems that both shows have inexplicably been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I would wager there was probably some music that wasn't dubbed properly or somesuch thing. That's usually the reason things get pulled that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khawk20 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Some of it looks fresh but it'll need to be compared to the AWA tv shows that this stuff was used on. Lawler and valiant vs Hayes and Kerry immediately stands out. The rest I think aired. Maybe not gagne vs enos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Early Scott Steiner should be fun to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Not as much fun as you would hope unfortunately. They did two or three tv tapings down that way on consecutive nights as I recall so maybe next September we will get another on of those nights. I recall a bad company vs RPMs match from that tour that I don't see on that match list for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in this thread, but Harley Race vs Jack Brisco from 1978 Florida is a nice little treat I don’t recall seeing before. Pretty much both guys in their prime. No commentary. Super heat for Jack, and Race booed heavily. I think this might be a much longer much, probably broadway, clipped down to about 12 minutes. I also watched Buzz Sawyer vs Ted DiBiase from the 1983 Omni show, but too much stalling in the early going but Sawyer was super over with that crowd. For a match containing these two, I disappointed it didn’t contain even one scoop powerslam. BS finish also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was bummed to see it was pretty much a squash, did enjoy watching Ronnie pass off a AWA tag belt as the TV title (what was up with that, I know they actually had a belt made).

JerryvonKramer Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 The clips of Flair vs Valentine make it look like one of the best matches of all time. Is there a full match from these two from that era anywhere? The stuff in the clips looks phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Piper vs Valentine is absolutely awesome as everyone has said. I’d drop major snowflakes on it were I in that sort of mood. Hot crowd, intense physical action. Awesome mix of brawling and wrestling. Piper red hot as a face. Can anyone remember where Greg landed in the GWE? The guy was incredible, and had a good 8-10 year peak. I wish we had more full matches from 1980, because it seems his Mid-Atlantic run was electric.

El Dragon Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 A quick check shows he landed 54th. He is one of the guys who I think the footage we’ve gotten in recent years would bump him up a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
