Twatters Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I was looking at this weeks DVD releases and noticed these two: http://www.bva.org.uk/titles/film?id=MMID00130412 and http://www.bva.org.uk/titles/film?id=MMID00130409 It's a 20th Anninversary edition of the 1995 King of the Deathmatch and a collection called American Wrestling Classics Volume 3. Anyone know much about them? Any new extra's on the KOTD?
WyattSheepMask Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I assume there will be some non-tournament matches on there. I have a version of the show (somewhere in my loft) and I seem to recall Dan Severn defending the NWA World title, which I don't think was on any commercial release of KOTD95 before but I could be wrong. It just says never before seen matches and interviews, so it's probably just some grainy looking outakes which probably won't add much if you already have it

TheShowOff Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I assume there will be some non-tournament matches on there. I have a version of the show (somewhere in my loft) and I seem to recall Dan Severn defending the NWA World title, which I don't think was on any commercial release of KOTD95 before but I could be wrong. It was against Tarzan Goto. It was on one of the earlier VHS releases. To this day one of the few VHS's I have left because when I first started tape trading, I remember this was my must have tape after everything I had read about it up to that point (around 1999). It came in a white hard case box. Here's the cover:
Paid Members herbie747 Posted September 6, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 6, 2014 What's the difference between: Irv Muchnick Sam Mucnnick Phil Muchnick And also: Jim Barnett Bob Barnett
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted September 6, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 6, 2014 Sam was a promoter, Phil and Irv are just press reporters who (in Phil's case especially, less so Irv) fucking despise wrestling. None are related.
TheShowOff Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Bob Barnett hated a tape trading paedophile. Jim Barnett looked liked paedophile* *Probably wasn't paedophile

Paid Members herbie747 Posted September 6, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 6, 2014 All those Muchnicks in wrestling, and none related? Assumed they were a family.

Paid Members herbie747 Posted September 7, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 7, 2014 Anyone find the names of a lot of promotions that have popped up over the last few years to be completely stupid? Dumb stuff like "Absolute Intense Wrestling" and "No Messing Around Wrestling" and "Legit Good Wrestling". I see a lot of them in the Events thread, as well as on the F4W daily updates for some US shows.

TheShowOff Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 What makes a wrestling show an Independent show? Are TNA UK show independent shows? What about ROH? Nothing. They are just different groups putting on shows. Just call a spade a spade.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted September 7, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) TNA and RoH are backed by TV network money, so I'd say that you wouldn't call them indies. Aside from that, the term independent is just a blanket term for the minor leagues. It's a fancy word for 'tinpot'. Edited September 7, 2014 by Arch Stanton
