Nope. Sorry, I don't. I've never even seen that footage.

Hey man! Love the channel! When wrestling was was wrestling. Tell me you have the video of Flair being presented with the Big Gold for the first time.

I've watched a bunch of them. Check out the Horsemen Files. I never even heard of the Ron Bass turn, and never saw much of him, so I really enjoyed another old school angle. Bass saying to Dusty, "Back in high school it was always Virgil this and Virgil that". Why can't anybody today cut a promo like that? That's why we need these kinds of sites. Thanks again Earl.

If you folks haven't been checking out the Playlists yet, you really should. Whole matches can be seen intact. They string all the parts together so that you can get a coherent picture of the different angles and feuds.

I love this channel. I started watching wrestling back around 1990 and to go back and relive some of those memories is awesome. Thanks a lot and keep it coming.

I subbed you, I was more into WWF when I was little. But whenever a friend of mine started buying
NWA video's off Ebay I was hooked to NWA.
He's got alot of hard to find videos like all the clash of champions, we watched all them.
He's got the very first Wargames and everything.

I decided to subscribe because watching these vids brings back memories of when I was a kid watching wrestling. Kinda miss those days. Wrestling was so much better than it is today, in a lot of ways. Keep the vids coming.

On the occasion of the Channel's 1000th Subscriber, which was about a week ago, I'd just like to say that I really appreciate your continued interest in my offerings here. I have had contact from several of the regular denizens of the old Solie's Vintage Wrestling web site (see link above). I have also heard from a few of my friends in the business, and those have been especially gratifying. I am wading through about 50 boxes of VHS tapes in varying conditions - so please be patient with me.

Thank you all for your kind comments and correction.

Terry Taylor vs. Black Bart
2 videos
September 29, 1985 Part 1 - Terry Taylor challenges Black Bart for the NWA National Heavyweight Title in this match from the TBS studios in Atlanta. David Crockett and Tony Schiavone provide the commentary.

The Giant gets a Haircut
2 videos
1984 - From Tuesday Night Titans TV program. Ken Patera and Big John Stud, with Bobby Heenan at their side, gang up on Andre then clip his long hair. SD Jones is Andre's (largely useless) partner. Vince McMahon calls this one, with Gorilla Monsoon. McMahon, in a rather callous fashion, I thought, repeatedly refers to the incident as the "...rape of the Giant's dignity."
