[GhostManBrandonDDpre]

Andre and Khan had a great feud, but I would have loved to see Andre vs Steele.

[nitramletnan]

My god did Andre look huge compared to the wrestlers of his day.

[RICH12DAY34]

Albano and Blassie...The Dynamic Duo...I miss these days

[hoth260]

lol, i was there too

[keithjfro]

Killer Khan kicks ass!

[JKTube]

Fun stuff throughout.

This was very early in Curt Hennig's career as he debuted in 1980, so at this point he was some seven years from becoming Mr. Perfect.

George Steele rules.

[philaman1972]

Championship Wrestling with Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson. A Saturday afternoon staple. This was probably the final match of the hour as they would usually have an angle to close out the show. I would love for wrestling to be presented this way again on TV, but alas..

[kpny1961]

@philaman1972 For me it was Sunday morning. I couldn't wait until the following week to see what was to transpire. In todays wrestling they have blurred the lines between good and bad and are trying way to hard to sell an angle. They need to get back to this type of presentation.

[Dorelaxen]

Andre used to be able to throw standing dropkicks at one point, when he was under 400lbs.

Man, The Animal was SUCH a great character in the ring. His wrestling may not have been the best, but he could sure get the crowd behind him. And he could MOVE for a big man, too.

[kevonedmonds]

This was a smarter presentation. The staples of promos during the match gave a busy, but good aura. Today s is dummed down and the mic time is too slow mo.

[blarson12]

nothin' beats Stampede wrestling. That was THE best wrestlin of all time.

[Djteedoe420]

Classic Coliseum Video..

[VinceThePinch]

@Djteedoe420 which video is it from?

[stevedrums]

I really do miss these days. there was certainly an aura that these guys had that today's "superstars" don't have.

[bgeruntho]

Great one...thanks for posting!

[snowpanth]

Hennig looks like he's about 9 years old

[erwintommy]

I love all this old stuff....

[bigdeeski]

Andre was still pretty light on his feet at this point

[TonySpargo]

Was Andre ever light on his feet. He died when he was in his 40's. When did he hava a prime?

[Lfdjake91]

Anyone have any idea just why Lou Albano was barefoot at ringside??

[Elesk8108]

No idea this is great stuff though..........

[Lfdjake91]

Gilberto Roman was the perfect referee for this match as Gil was probably the worst ref of all time. He never seemed to be able to control the wrestlers & the heels seemed to be able to get away with murder with him.

[Lfdjake91]

Interesting. Steele & Khan, 2 of the biggest monster heels of their day vs. future superstar Curt Hennig & the always tough SD Jones. Crazy match for its day with erratic brawling & blatant use of both foriegn objects & outside interference.

[keijimuto]

6:56 Lou Albano with those sucker kicks, amazing LOL!

[BillyHunt06]

This is great stuff. Thanks for posting. I loved it when Patterson would ask McMahon during any given George Steele match "Vince, can you imagine living next door to this man?"

[humanfly02]

i wish wrestling was still like this

[PHX99]

Holy cow! I remember the first pairing of Killer Khan & George Steele.  It was for the taping of the syndicated WOR show. It was hilarious, the match lasted 2 minutes tops, and Vince Jr was laughing so hard at the way they wrestled. They were so disorganized, they couldn't even tag each other and they used a water pitcher in that match too. Ahhh, those were the days!

[DVROFFMAN]

What the hell is the ref thinking in this match?

[destronia123]

Hennig should've snapped the Perfectplex on Steal.

[jabbojones814]

a young  curt hennig???

[jcp1977]

Killer Khan is a scary MF'er

[Dietpepsivanilla]

He now runs a pretty successful restaurant in Tokyo. I've been there and he's quite the host too.

[theannexrocks]

One of the best and mst hilarious matches ever!

[MeAndMyRC]

Listen to Khan scream as he laid those kicks in to his foe! Great action then

[Airtiz]

What a great match.

This guy was my favourite to watch in the '80s.

Good to see footage of him when he was a crazy heel.

[zappatull]

I agree. THIS IS WRESTLING! Still looking for someone to post the vid when Patterson got Pearl Harbored by King Kong Mosca with that water pitcher. as the credits roled MacMahon yelled "Pat Paterson Destroyed!!!!!"

[mindbeyond]

yeah,and patterson was only doing a promo with dick woerlee(?)after he disqualified mosca in a match against frankie williams, i believe. i'd love to see that too

[MidnightRiderEddros1]

I have that posted -- check out my clips...

[chipps1963]

I miss those days of pro wrestling. I saw that match on tv, it was "All Star Wrestling" that came on every Saturday at 5pm on WPTT channel 22 in Pittsburgh. I would watch it every Sat. religiously. Man I miss those days!

[MaxPayne72]

Sorry, I meant to give you a thumbs up!

[MikeyMikeisMe]

LOL the ring announcer said "the time of the match 5 minutes 79.... excuse me 5 minutes 29 seconds." Funny. Albano and Killer Kahn were both pretty big guys, but Andre dwarfed them.

[davephlegmball]

Greatest refereeing job of all-time, except Gilberto Roman should've disqualified Jones and Hennig via outside interference by Andre.

[magnumshifter]

that's one hairy, turn buckle biting motherfucker

[sirfdeadly]

I always wanted one of those Lou Albano shirts.

[saracen3000]

man,this was about summer/fall 81 the year i first got into pro wrestling. i was about 10 at the time. this was the shit. pleeease post more.

[js560000]

9/5/81

[Tommygun1028]

These are the best days of wrestling, thanks for uploading. Would be grateful to see more of this era uploaded.

[elways77]

you are right,,this was so great when i was ten wow this was fun to9 see again thanks

[lambert581]

I know how Steele got the green toungue the story goes is he went out drinking before wrestling and didn't want the promoter to find out so he put a breath mint in his mouth that turned his toungue green.

[BooBooLane]

GTAS ws the best of the best

Albano and Blassie were funny

The young "Mr. Perfect"

This match had everything!

[PHX99]

Does anyone remember the "marriage" of The Animal's daughter? They televised it and at the end she lifted her veil, stuck her tongue out and her tongue was green too. They ended up trashing a cafeteria at the reception. That was the funniest WWF moment ever. Someone post it, please!!

[TonySpargo]

I do not think that it really was George's daughter. Another one of Vince's comedy hours.

[louthedog2007]

I was at this taping in Hamburg, Pa. Holy Cow those were the days...

[hollywood1144]

anymore from this era? Great stuff!

[spamforbobby]

That was a lot of fun, thanks for posting it.

[XS1]

Killer Kahn & The Animal would have been a good Championship team. I saw them live against Backlund & Andre.

[MeAndMyRC]

I actually remember this match, was 12 then, I enjoyed it a lot! S.D. was always great to watch, so was 'The Animal'!
