Right firstly I know this isn't a 1980s project but I wasn't sure where else I should post it and after another board member suggested I put it here I've gone ahead and done it since most of the folk who might be interested in this would visit this section of the forum anyway. I'm attempting to put together a master list of all the pre-1970 footage from various promotions currently available in the trading community or at least known to exist including CWC/WWWF, ITV Wrestling/World Of Sport, EMLL, JPWA/JWA, IWE, AJW and many more. I realise this is a hefty project and that's why I've decided to put it on DVDVR in the hope others might wanna contribute. I'm gonna begin here with the WWWF, there's not an awful lot floating around out there right now so this is a fairly short list, I'll put where the footage source comes from where I can and will be adding stuff to the list if and when any more becomes available. I'll also be adding stuff from the other promotions that I've come across as I go along too, I'm not sure if I'll be adding those to this thread or making a seperate one for each promotion yet. I'm still working on the Capitol Wrestling Corporation list so for now here's the list of all existing WWWF pre-1970 footage which I believe is is complete - World Wide Wrestling Federation (1963 - 1969). 1964 1) Freddie Blassie -vs- Bobo Brazil (October 10th, 1964 - Best Of The WWF 2 & WWF Biggest, Smallest, Strangest, Strongest). 1965 1) Heavyweight Wrestling (May 9th, 1965). 1966 1) Heavyweight Wrestling (January 6th, 1966). 2) Heavyweight Wrestling (January 13th, 1966). 3) Heavyweight Wrestling (January 20th, 1966). 1969 1) Bruno Sammartino -vs- George Steele (August 9th, 1969 - WWE Network). Misc 1) Lou Albano -vs- Tony Angelo (1960s - WWF The Life & Times of Captain Lou Albano). 2) Women's Battle Royal (Late 1960s - WWF Most Unusual Matches).
