RazorbladeKiss87 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 The Story of The Midnight Express vs The Original Midnight Express https://youtu.be/NoVFPtGri_8?si=9UfDEYnXHFgQ4ACO This channel is pretty much full of videos like this. It's a treasure trove and will probably be responsible for me losing a lot of time today. 2

The house show promos building up to this are in my Holy Grail footage list. The guy with the beard accompanying Ventura to the ring was Prince's bodyguard at the time who was having a very brief 15 minutes of fame and you just know the promos where Jesse drops that "the bodyguard of MY close personal friend, Prince, is going to accompany ME to the ring" were wonderfully insufferable.

I doubt 1/10th of the people watching them now even bothered looking for them.
Cobra Commander Posted January 20 Posted January 20 yeah, I think the main market for Coliseum Video rewatches is gonna be people near the 35-49 side of 18-49 which are usually not a high-demand group.. did they ever put the History of WWF videos on the Network? I know those had 20 volumes and I don't think they were on Peacock unless I'm really lazy about looking and really the only problem might be if they have digital copies from the era of muting mentions of "WWF"
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 20 Posted January 20 TBH besides Owen/Bret vs. the Steiners and maybe 4-5 other matches, most of the matches that found their way on these tapes were pretty much guys having pedestrian house shows matches. It's definitely a fascinating watch if you want to learn about the wrestling industry and deconstruct how matches are worked, but boy, a lot of those matches especially the olders ones are better than Sominex. The Killer Bees vs. Los Conquistadores? Peter Doherty vs. SD Jones? A ten minute Scott Casey vs. Steve Lombardi match? I am out like a light in about five minutes or less. 1

Scorpion looking like a fat boy masked dude. Leatherface barges in with a chainsaw! The heel group of Eric Embry, Tojo, Leatherface, Judge Dredd, and Ta-Gar! Eric Embry giving off "cross of Buddy Hackett and John Belushi" vibes. Tojo with a magnificent cowboy hat. Fun spot of "someone yelling 'Lawler'" causing Embry to break a pinfall attempt.

In case of rain, the show will be moved inside. Clarksdale! Jonesboro! Dirty White Boy is angry about what happened earlier. and our main event: Jerry Lawler vs Ta-Gar Lord of the Volcano!

Lawler wins with a schoolboy rollup and then immediately punches Embry out of the ring. Let's watch some classic footage of Jackie Fargo kicking ass against Jimmy Hart. Jerry Lawler promo talking up the show on Monday Night. Another rundown of the card. "Somebody has to be behind all of these 'split the team' matches, maybe it's Embry" well, he is the booker, Dave. MORE SEATS THIS WEEK. USWA running shows in a random building next to the Mid-South Coliseum due to a dispute. Man that's a huge Redman ad in the ring.
