Reel Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 It seems at least a handful of people are watching the 80s DVDVR sets as part of their viewing for this project. It's a great place to start but in the time since those sets got put together a lot of footage has come out and tastes are always changing. So, is there anything that got skipped over? Anybody who got short shrift? Any new matches that absolutely would have belonged, but hadn't been unearthed yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Jones Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 The Bockwinkel/Brunzell match that was Frankensteined together from various footage felt like a top 20 match if it had been around for the AWA set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoonlight Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 It not really misses, but do you guys know if there's a "other territories" 80's set planned? As I went through 80-86 (I stopped and went back to Japan 98) I noted down some good to great matches from teritories not covered by the DVDVR sets. (other than MACW/JCP => there again, is there a best of JCP planned? and WWF). Don't think too much about my ratings, there were there just for me and I just copied paste withiout getting them out. 1980 (1) 10-?? -ICW- Bob Orton Jr vs Pez Whatley - *** ½ - 1981 (14) 01-09 -SWCW- Tully Blanchard vs Tiger Conway Jr (2/3 falls; Houston) - *** ½ + 01-16 -Houston- Dory Funk Jr vs Billy Robinson (Houston) - *** ½ 02-22 -StLouis- Ted DiBiase vs Big John Studd - *** ½ - 03-?? -SECW- Condrey & Rose vs Norvell Austin & Mike Jackson - *** ¼ 03-21 -SECW- Paul Orndorff & Norvell Austin vs. Mr. Saito & The Shadow - *** ¼ + 04-12 -StLouis- Butch Reed & Rufus R Jones vs. Mike Kelley & Pat Kelley - *** ¼ 05-03 -StLouis- Ric Flair vs Pat O’Connor - *** ½ + 05-04 -Maple- Ric Flair & Dewey Robertson vs Roddy Piper & Jimmy Snuka (No DQ) - *** ½ - 05-22 -Houston- Gino Hernandez vs Chavo Guerrero (2/3 falls) - *** ½ 07-18 -GCW- Ted DiBiase & Steve O vs Jimmy Snuka & Terry Gordy - *** ½ - 08-02 -StLouis- Ken Patera vs Kerry Von Erich - *** ½ - 08-?? -CWF- Dory Funk Jr vs Mike Graham (Australian Rules - 6 rounds) - **** - 11-20 -Houston- Nick Bockwinkel vs Tito Santana (2/3 falls) - *** ¾ 11-29 -StLouis- Ken Patera vs. Dewey Robertson - *** ¼ + 1982 (12) 01-01 -StLouis- Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes (2/3 falls) - *** ½ 01-?? -ICW- Randy Savage vs Crusher Broomfield - *** ½ - 04-04 -StLouis- Harley Race vs David Von Erich - *** ½ 04-24 -SECW- Terry Gordy vs Michael Hayes (Cage; clipped) – NR (great) 05-14 -Houston- Wahoo McDaniel vs Tully Blanchard (Indian Strap) - *** ½ - 07-04 -StLouis- Ric Flair & Jerry Blackwell vs Ken Patera & Dory Funk Jr - *** ½ - 08-15 -SWCW- Jerry Lawler vs Bob Sweetan - *** ¼ - 05-14 -Houston- Nick Bockwinkel vs Junkyard Dog (2/3 falls) - *** ½ + 10-06 -CWF- Barry Windham vs Kevin Sullivan (CWF title tournament final) - *** ¾ - 10-27 -GCW- Tommy & Johnny Rich vs Ivan Koloff & Iron Sheik - *** ¼ 11-10 -GCW- Tommy Rich & Paul Orndorff vs Masked Superstar & Super Destroyer - *** ¼ - 11-10 -GCW- Tito Santana vs Buzz Sawyer - *** ¼ - 1983 (8) 02-11 -StLouis- Kerry Von Erich vs Greg Valentine - *** ¾ 04-26 -CWF- Bobby Duncum & Angelo Mosca vs Brad Armstrong & Ron Bass - *** ½ + 05-26 -SWCW- Terry Funk vs Bob Orton Jr - *** ½ + 07-04 -CWF- Barry Windham vs Harley Race - *** ¼ + 10-23 -GCW- Buzz Sawyer vs Tommy Rich (Cage) - *** ¾ 10-23 -GCW- Ole Anderson vs Paul Ellering (Cage) - *** ¼ + 11-06 -GCW- Brad Armstrong vs Joe Lightfoot - *** ¼ 11-06 -GCW- Jake Roberts vs Ronnie Garvin - *** + 1984 (4) 04-07 -GCW- Ric Flair vs Jack Brisco - *** ¾ - 07-03 -AGPW- Rick Martel vs Leo Burke (2/3 falls) - *** ¾ - 10-?? -CWF- Ric Flair vs Scott McGhee - *** ¾ - 11-16 -StLouis- Billy Robinson vs Kevin Von Erich - *** ½ - 1985 (13) 01-18 -Houston- Kevin Von Erich vs Chris Adams - *** ½ 02-12 -PPPW- Ric Flair vs Kerry Von Erich - *** ¾ 02-24 -WPW- Ric Flair vs Harley Race - *** ¾ 04-13 -CWF- Rick Rude vs Brian Blair - *** ½ - 05-05 -IWA- The Road Warriors vs. Dino Bravo & Jos Leduc - *** ½ 05-27 -IWA- Animal & Paul Ellering vs Rick Martel & Jos LeDuc - *** ½ + 07-29 -IWA- Les Rougeaus vs The Garvins - *** ½ - 08-16 -PWUSA- Ric Flair vs Sgt Slaughter - **** ¼ - 08-26 -IWA- Les Rougeaus vs The Garvins - *** ½ - 09-02 -CWF- Ric Flair vs Wahoo McDaniel (2/3 falls; Battle of the Belts) - *** ¾ 09-14 -CCW- Ron & Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden vs. Brad & Steve Armstrong & Dick Slater - *** ¼ 10-26 -CCW- Bill Ash vs. Roy Lee Welch (loser leaves) - *** ¼ 11-02 -CCW- Brad Armstrong & The Bullet vs Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden (I quit; Cage) - *** ¼ + 1986 02-14 -CWF- Lex Luger vs Jesse Barr (Battle of the Belts 2) - *** ½ 02-14 -CWF- Road Warriors & Blackjack Mulligan vs Kevin Sullivan’s crew (Battle ot belts 2) - *** ½ 02-14 -CWF- Ric Flair vs Barry Windham (Battle of the Belts 2) - **** ¾ 05-24 -CCW- Brad Armstrong & Tommy Rich vs Jimmy Golden & Robert Fuller (No Dq) - *** ¼ - 09-01 -CWF- The Ninja vs Tim Horner (Battle of the Belts 3) - *** ¼ - 09-01 -CWF- Ric Flair vs Lex Luger (Battle of the Belts 3) - *** ¾ + 09-13 -CCW- Roy Lee Welch vs Tim Horner - *** ¼ - 09-27 -CCW- Brad Armstrong vs Kevin Sullivan - *** ¼ 10-31 -Stampede- Owen Hart vs Makhan Singh - *** + 12-20 -CCW- Roy Lee Welch vs Tom Prichard (Bullrope) - *** ¼ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Jones Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 There were more sets planned but the project died off during the Portland and Puerto Rico voting process from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcoor Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 how can I get the dvdr sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El McKell Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Maybe someone else knows better but I think you'd have to contact Will/Goodhelmet, you can DM him on here (although I dunno if he's still active here), or on reddit i assume this is him . If you can't get your hands on the actual sets you can see what was on them under the "DVDVR Best of the 1980s Voting Results" section on this site, the overwhelming majority of the matches are available on youtube, dailymotion or theditch.

Loss Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 There are hundreds of misses by design. Those were intended to be a Best Of, but not a comprehensive look at the era, in the same way a Greatest Hits album is meant to capture highlights but not an in-depth look at the artist.
