Well that sounds hopeful. I was worried with how GLOW was, it was taking on something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it supposed to be good? not sure if serious. the Last Battle of Atlanta is reportedly one of the best (and bloodiest) cage matches of all time. Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer battled it out in an enclosed cage in October of 1983. no footage has EVER been released from it (not on GCW/WCW tv at the time, not on any compilations, etc.) and it is reported to be a fantastic fight and fitting end for their near two-year feud. there have been discussions for YEARS that footage did not exist. Or did exist, but Ole Anderson destroyed it. Or that only one man had it but would never release it. and on and on. the fact that we are mere days from literally the rarest and most requested match in history showing up is quite the accomplishment. link: a KayFabe Memories thread discussing the video availability of the match (from 2009): http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?km_km_ict=3c9e27c589db2a1b7195853080d30a0a&threadid=63013&page=0#pager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was being serious. I had never heard of it until the recent talk of it here and in the WWE network thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I've heard of it, but not being a huge NWA guy, have never read up on it's, uhh, importance. I'm looking forward to watching it though. Since they're unearthing these "gems", maybe we'll finally get to see that Bret/Magee match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'd never heard of the match until all this discussion either, but that territory and time period is a bit out of my knowledge base. Is the Bret/Funk match they're advertising the one from Funk's retirement show in the late 90s featuring Mr. I Wasn't Booked? I didn't realize that match/show was a rarity. Looking over the full card I'm trying to figure out which match is the most random. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Is there anything else on the Network Gems listing that hadn't previously been seen? Some of it sounds familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Watching the trailer clip, it's weird seeing Bret filmed ECW-style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 On 9/2/2016 at 2:20 PM, CreativeControl said: Dan Severn does have a point. In fact, it's pretty striking how they have similarly been portrayed: Both had a mouthpiece, both had a prize fighter aura, both got in the ring, did the business and got out. Just a shame that Severn came through in the wrong era and couldn't commit fully to the WWF schedule. I remember thinking Severn was the most vicious guy out there when he came into WWF, he had this respectable look but once he got in the ring he turned into an animal. He's probably the last legitimate badass-shooter NWA champion too Obviously forgetting MMA enthusiast Jeff Jarrett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Back to the GLOW show, Chavo Guerrero is set to be the wrestling coordinator for the show. I don't know if it will translate to an acting role on the show or not. Coincidentally his uncle Mando was the trainer for GLOW back in the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I hope this Sasha Banks thing is an angle were she cuts a promo alluding to retirement only for Charlotte and Dana to interrupt her and beat Sasha down prompting Bayley to make the ssave setting up a tag team main event of Charlotte and Danna vs Sasha and Bayley.

BurningBeard Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I can't look at Barrett (especially in his Bad News guise) without thinking of him as the biggest missed opportunity in recent times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 So somehow I stumbled across a He-Man fan film today on youtube. It's not my thing, so I didn't actually watch it, but I did happen to notice that He-Man is played by Brian Cage. Google confirms that it is indeed the wrestler (I didn't recognize him). I only watched about two minutes of the footage, but Cage seems pretty wooden in the scene at the end with Skeletor. No idea if he's done any other acting or not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
