I am intrigued about Taker in SMW.   That would have been from their huge Superbowl of Wrestling show, which took place a few weeks before that date. 19/08 would have been the TV airdate of the highlights  Despite never airing, the full show is out there on the streaming sites if you can put up with the low res and annoying video counter plastered across the front of the screen. Fantastic show, must be one of, if not the best event in the US outwith the big two during the '90s. Shawn Michaels was on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBullensUltra Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016  Joe vs Regal. Universal Pro Wrestling??? Never heard of the company and didnt know WWE had their video footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Very interested to see whether that Bret v Austin match from South Africa is as good as Bret claims it is, with quite a few of his matches (one of them with Perfect I remember) he tells us how good they are but no ones ever seen them. Well now we can call his bluff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016  Joe vs Regal. Universal Pro Wrestling??? Never heard of the company and didnt know WWE had their video footage.  It's the company Cena worked for before he got signed.  I think they were like an unofficial developmental territory for a while.

Guest Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I am intrigued about Taker in SMW. Not just any SMW match, but against a man he really ought to have recognised but continued to presume dead for another two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted September 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2016 It wasn't mentioned as a negative about him in the SCG trial... stick that in your urn Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2016  Joe vs Regal. Universal Pro Wrestling??? Never heard of the company and didnt know WWE had their video footage.   It's the company Cena worked for before he got signed.  I think they were like an unofficial developmental territory for a while. I think they had three around at the time- OVW, UPW and HWA. UPW at the same time had Cena, Joe, Kazarian and Daniels whilst Tim Howard was the head trainer at the time. That's where Cena and Joe got tight (Joe supposedly gave Cena 'the champ is here' years later) and Kaz & Daniels first got pally that turned into a brilliant tag team a decade later. I'd love to see a bit more of their stuff just to see these guys back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 6, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 6, 2016 THE LAST FUCKING BATTLE OF ATLANTA?!?!?!?! Â Holy shit, that's a real holy grail of wrestling footage. Worth the 9.99 alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The Hidden Gems collection is now available on the network. They've also added an Eddie Guerrero collection that has been added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 6, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 6, 2016 Another great thing about the discovery and upload of The Last Battle of Atlanta, is that it possibly means we're a step closer to the release of Tom Magee vs Bret Hart.

Not just any SMW match, but against a man he really ought to have recognised but continued to presume dead for another two years. Â Pop Fact: Taker wrestled Glen Jacobs under all 4 of his major gimmicks - Unabom, Isaac Yankem, Fake Diesel and Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 7, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2016 If you want to waste an hour or two, the Colourful characters collection is a fun little set of vignettes. Â Still annoys me on the collections that you have to watch that little intro with the warning and rating every bloody time! And if it's part of a show, it leaves it on the part-watched section.
