God look how fake that is.

[RICFAN1]

Also wasnt it kinda interesting that Andre mentioned about possibly challenging Hulk Hogan for that same WWF title which he in fact did three years later in 1987 for Wrestlemania III

This can't be 1985. Andre's hair was cut at the end of 1984 by Big John Studd. Mr. WrestlingMan, how serious a fan are you of wrestling? You seem to get the years wrong A LOT!!! I do appreciate the uploads though ;).

[filthiestfish]

@Danimal77 Yes I agree great uploads but often the year is wrong

[MrWrestlingMan]

@Danimal77 Well dude it goes like this. I've never been one to scour the internet for years on end piecing together when and where everything fitted in together. I grew up in Australia where we were lucky to have one hour of wrestling a week, even then it was usually 6months behind time. Pro Wrestling mags were my main source of information and once again they were nearly always 6 months behind time. Tapes i received from o's have long since lost their sticky identification labels. Ta 4 asking

[spmcginnis]

@Danimal77 Definitely 1984.  This match took place at the Agriculture Hall in Allentown, which stopped hosting WWF matches in July of '84.

[philldholes]

Those were great days.

[JBRAVOS]

This was early 1984 not 1985

[filthiestfish]

@JBRAVOS Gene said Hulk Hogan had just become champion so this is early 1984, as you say

[JBRAVOS]

@filthiestfish This was likely Feb 84 This was taped in Allentown Pa WWF moved their Championship Wrestling Tapings to ; Poughkeepsie, NY in July of 84 Plus the Big Yellow Banner was only there the 1st few months of 84 This was taped for All American Wrestling Plus Joe McHugh was the ring announcer he was always in Allentown By 85 They were in Poughkeepsie, NY & Howard Finkel was Ring Announcer

[filthiestfish]

@JBRAVOS Thank you for your detailed analysis as I had no clue :)

[BrickhouseB2]
