Cornette's racket Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 The first ten episodes of main event are now on the network from 2012. Aren't they supposed to be putting the missing episodes up ? They've put up more superstar picks and a ted dibiase collection that on first glance looks interesting.

Matt D Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Worth noting that next month is a Rey Mysterio collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I wonder how much unseen stuff is out there? I doubt they are going to be putting up rare Promo Azteca or anything. My dream is one of the Eddie vs. Rey house show matches they had during the Dominic feud, those were apparently bloody brawls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fun at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if they were filming Kevin Nash walking through the curtain in MSG after defeating backland and showing the guys in the locker room then I'd say they have recorded all kinds of stuff.

paul sosnowski Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 My god, I'm wondering how much footage from the Omni they have. Between today's DiBiase match, and the Magnum & Savage tag from a few months ago....they've got some great quality unseen footage from there as well.

PeteF3 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Not to mention the Last Battle of Atlanta turning up. Here's hoping Flair vs. Backlund is in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 When the LBoA was found, it was mentioned that there was tons of Omni footage unlabled in the Turner archive that the WWE team was sifting through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it was found on something labelled "omni live events." I mean how big was the wcw library when WWE got it in 2001 ? It included everything that wcw got when it bought JCP in '88 and Crockett had bought other territories so I mean the potential footage they could have is nuts.

sek69 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 A tiered network is pretty much a done deal, they've already talked about it in their investor meetings. They are just waiting to finish the UK and India TV deals before announcing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedEagle Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Those new Hidden Gems sound incredible. I don't want to get too hot about it until we see if and how strongly they're clipped, but this reads like quite the haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sosnowski Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I don't think that is the correct date on the Martel-Robinson match. Robinson fought Tony Atlas in Winnipeg on that day. Maybe it's actually 11/22/84 from St Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'd guess it's from 1983. They did clash in Winnipeg in 83. It could be their thanksgiving St. Paul match too, until now it was only available via raw footage. ill bet Winnipeg for now. gotch and goulet may be tag champs there...they did hold the belts briefly in that time frame.

Ricky Jackson Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yeah, they were the tag champs at that point. It was a short reign and I believe it only lasted another week or so, losing to the Baron and Iaukea Edit: Actually, if the date on the MSG show is correct, they dropped the straps the very next day in Philly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickH Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thesz, Gotch, Hodge, Takada, Robinson. Is it gun week cause all I see is shooters. I was totally expecting something Australian this week but these gems are way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sosnowski Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Alright, Khawk, I give up. What's the date and location of the Martel match? Martel is not champion at the time. Is it 3/24/83? Robinson is managed by Lord Alfred. Is this new footage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsfan73 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 It's definitely a Winnipeg match. I don't have my TSN footage cataloged very well, so I don't know the date. Between Robinson, Hayes, and referee Bob Warren, there's a lot of fantastic mustaches in that ring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
