WWF Superstars of Wrestling (7/22/1989): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9s_vsXuO4

King Duggan using the recent Supreme Court flagburning decision for some heat. Jesse asking "what if you're an atheist" after the Pledge. The Gladiator working like he's not a trained wrestler. Summerslam has been officially announced! Bossman gets to take on a black job guy who can do flips. "You ever been to jail, McMahon" "Of course not" "How did you elude the authorities all these years". Dusty Rhodes is here in tiedye which is a better look than what he ended up using. The Dream is gonna GET DOWN. The Warrior accusing Rick Rude of doing unnatural acts to him. Arn and Tully in action as I remember that 1989 was the most JCP year that the WWF had. Bobby Heenan has walked off of Wrestling Challenge. Red Rooster gets a squash and he'll be jobbing to Mr. Perfect at Summerslam. You know, maybe they should bring back inset promos during matches. At least Rooster has a neat looking submission finisher with that humiliating gimmick. Rick Martel entering to "Jive Soul Bro" during his time with Slick. "The Genius knows Rick Martel is a credit to his race". Okay. Nice top rope kneedrop finish for Martel. Dusty Rhodes is on Brother Love. Future Pitbull Tony Durante jobs to Rick Rude. Rochester Rugrats. Hulk Hogan insane promo about Savage/Zeus/Sherri. Sandy Beach and Iron Mike Sharpe joining forces to job to Demolition. Vince repeatedly emphasizing the beef of the Akeem/Bossman/Andre team. Summerslam being on a Monday Night is a "USA Network is airing the US Open that night so we're not airing Prime Time" thing, isn't it? DiBiase and Snuka promos for Summerslam. Snuka thinks DiBiase bought that Million Dollar Belt. "The Superfly, brotha, is gonna superfly you". 

Then the last 2 minutes of the video is an open for a 1993 Episode of Superstars after Wrestlemania 9.

WCW Worldwide (7/23/1995): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uEMaZwtZIE

Over "100,000" people enjoyed Bash at the Beach 1995. The Giant took off his shirt and threw it at Hogan because it was Andre's shirt which Hogan apparently remembered. Dennis Rodman stopped the Dungeon of Doom from interfering. Vader wants a match with Flair and Arn. Alex Wright takes on a schlubby looking job guy. A promo from babyface Jimmy Hart and the Renegade. Well, Renegade wasn't ripping off the Ultimate Warrior on the mic because he's not as good as the Warrior on the mic. Let's take a look at how the Zodiac came to be in the Dungeon of Doom. Zodiac looks like Ed Leslie doing a blackface act. Speaking of that, Kamala emerges for a few seconds. That was a long 3 1/2 minutes of television time. Mike Thor looks like Best Choice Stan Lane. Kevin Sullivan absolutely doesn't come close to taking a bump for an entire squash. Tony Schiavone describes Sullivan wearing red/yellow as the opposite of Hogan's yellow/red. I think the word Tony's looking for is "inverse". The lighting makes it look like Mean Gene colored his eyebrows and mustache black. Attention hotline fans: WHAT MAJOR WRESTLING SUPERSTAR IS RUMORED TO BE GETTING HIS WALKING PAPERS? THE INTERESTING PART IS THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT (considering Stunning Steve is on his episode, it's not Steve Austin, right?) One entire commercial break is left in for some reason. Operation Dumbo Drop. Tetra Ponds. Steve Austin had been injured for a month by the time this Worldwide match aired. Mike Davis looking like he aspires to be mid-1990s Bob Holly. Collision in Korea is on PPV soon, Bobby Heenan assures us he can speak Korean. Austin wins with the Gourdbuster. We're in that one month long babyface Vader run. Colonel Rob Parker is bringing an unnamed Japanese man into WCW (Kurosawa, I think).

And our main event? Diamond Dallas Page vs Dave Sullivan
