6:04 "Take a look at that threesome." Um...now that's a visual I'll never be able to get out of my mind now. Thanks Vince.

Listenng to Bruno Sammartino's commentary, I now think Arnold Schwarzenegger learned English by watching the WWF in the 1970s and 80s.

[Nertrender]

@wolfwilliams HI Larious.

[bultrey]

There is JU-BU-LATION!

Also, why did the Iron Sheik have those pointy boots?

[aguilla77]

Simmons

The Sheikh is a specimen and Volkoff may have been a linebacker.

[drewcifer66]

The Iron Sheik rules! Simmons!

Simmons!

That was a pretty short match for a title change.

[wrestlingrewind]

@Lfdjake91 I'd say the WWF wanted Valentine and Beefcake to be the champs so letting Rotundo and Windham win this was just a temporary stepping stone

[djkurts]

goog time.

In Brazil i was look every sundays. Mi favorite heroe was Mike and Barry

[88wulfgar]

The good old days.

[llenroht]

WOW....I remember watching this match happened with my step brother Devin (RIP). When they won, we were running thru the house screaming like two idiots.

[DonBoby]

@llenroht happy idiots.... oh, man....the old days.... sniff

[wrestlinglegacies]

man hearing the way howard finkle anoced windham/ rotundo reminded of the old days gave me the chills

[markc75]

When a title change meant something. Love it! Just listen to the crowd reaction.

[CaseyDrummer]

US Express was my favorite! I had my VCR all set but forgot to push Rec! I was jumping for joy when they won the belts back, but was quickly saddend when i realised i forgot to push record!

[Derby14]

This is awesome. I have this on the old Coliseum video but this is the first time I've seen it here. I was a HUGE mark for the US Express. I was 9 years old and we had just gotten back from our family Summer vacation (Mt. Rushmore) and this was on TV when we got home. I was drinking a Mountain Dew and my dad was yelling at me not to spill it because I was running around the room after the US Express won the belts back.

[invasionsend]

Which Coliseum Video was this featured on?

[Derby14]

I believe it was on the video titled "The Tag Team Champions"

[invasionsend]

No kidding? I have that one but haven't watched it in a long time. I'll give it a look. Thanks.

[suspekt29]

@Derby14 Thanks man. You were right. I watched the clip again in slightly higher quality. Its hard to believe these tapes used to go for 70 bucks back then. I only wish they had a release of the Dream Team taking the title from them in its entirety somewhere. I have a copy but the video is so poor.

[Derby14]

@suspekt29 I agree. That was a huge price to pay for an hour long video in the mid-1980s. Some of those old coliseum videos weren't overly exciting either to justify such a high price. At least they knocked Wrestlemania down to "only" $39.95 right? I remember wanting to buy them as a 10-12 year old kid in that era and my mom wouldn't let me because she thought it was too expensive.

[suspekt29]

@Derby14 I didnt buy them either. Occassionally someone would get a VHS rip from PPV and I'd watch the heck out of that. Turner Entertainment had the better deals back then. $30 for a NWA VHS tape and $5 shipping and handling.

[tonypanz]

@Derby14 Lol. Its amazing at the detail of the memories wrestling brings us. I have memories like that. I can remember every detail like that from when Orndorff turned on Hogan. These were the good ol days 4sure.

[69landshark]

The good old days.
