This weekend I seem to be going through my archives watching 80's wrestling stuff, one thing I wish in the 80's is that I could have seen stuff from the smaller promotions like World Class wrestling, Georgia, Florida instead of just WWF. I really need to get some videos of Fabulous Freebirds vs. Von Erichs, Bruiser Brody etc. I guess I really miss old time wrestling right now, the promos, everything. I feel totally alienated with all this new WWE stuff, and can't get into UFC at all. Maybe I'm old fashioned or something.
I can't get into the new stuff either. I watch TNA Wrestling some but the WWE is terrible. I wished they'd release all the old school stuff on DVD. I know they released the Wrestlemanias in box set volumes but I'm talking about Royal Rumbles, Summerslams, NWA's Starrcades, Great American Bashes, Crockett Cup Tournaments, Bunkhouse Stampedes, etc. I used to have all the old WWE pay per views on tape but wore them out lol. Remember the Von Erichs and Texas wrestling? I think like 7 out of the 10 wrestlers were Von Erichs. I remember the NWA having their wrestlers do promos for a particular stop while the date, location and time was flashing in front. Aah the good ol days.........

I'm not a wrestling fan, and I certainly don't see the appeal of the UFC phenomenon either.
That said, I do remember watching those WWF late-night on Saturdays on NBC.
Recently, I bought a GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling) video on DVD. Kinda interesting, considering that one of them (Tiffany Mellon) turned out be porn starlet Tyffany Million! Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :

$125? Ouch, I think calling up my silkscreen buddy might be a better option. And in the future I just hope some nice company will release a Freebirds DVD.

If you guys don't subscribe to WWE 24/7 you should definately look into it. For less than $10 you get hours of shows from WWF/WWE, NWA/WCW, Florida, AWA, WCCW(Texas), Calgary Stampede, and more. I had over 5,000 wrestling DVDs before I got 24/7 and now I'm almost at 8,000.

I miss hearing Jesse Ventura's color commentary. I still say he was the best ever. I caught part of a WWF video awhile ago where The Ultimate Warrior was doing a pose off with Ravishing Rick Rude and listening to Jesse rip the Warrior was just hilarious.

Devolution here,
That was the 1989 Royal Rumble. When Rick Rude smashed him in the head with a tension bar. It was great.
Also, Jesse and Gorilla were awesome together, but Heenan was a total riot if you hear his early stuff.
