It’s no Silvervision opening but this brings back memories. The VHS opening we got on those first WCW tapes that came out in the UK. 

I still remembered the options for competition questions before they came up. Although this felt a bit like a trick question for me at the time considering Lex was actually in the WWF by the time I saw this.

 

Also, you get a chance to win a competition to the fly to the US to see the Stinger defend his championship, yet the competition ends on June 30th, 1992, and he loses the belt to Vader on July 12th, then doesn't win a championship to defend in the US again for nearly two years.

Funnily enough too, he does regain the world championship, but it's on the British tour, so you're more likely to see him defend it in Ireland than anywhere else.

Surreal seeing Eddie do the normal everyday content style here. This new WWE Vault channel is fantastic.

Kim Justice as ever delivers another extremely interesting documentary, this new one is about Rhonda Sing, who we'd more be most aware of as Bertha Faye. Turns out she had the quite the amazing career, love seeing stories like this where people you don't really have much of an opinion of, have this quite remarkable runs elsewhere.

Courtesy of an ECW show in 1996 that took place in a complex where a hockey match was taking place at the same time. 
Brian Lee and Bubba Ray Dudley fight throughout the venue and wind up on the rink, with Brian lobbing Bubba into the goal.

Clip starts as they are fighting in the crowd.

EC-dub! EC-dub! EC-dub!

A bit of history that was thought lost here, and maybe it should have stayed that way.. it's a fun little curio from 1994 with two actors I know zero about except that Danny also had a spell in TNA and looked pretty decent in Hogan's celeb wrestling show.

Wrestling YouTube/Song of the day crossover!!!

Here's 'Lie Down in Darkness' by A-ha. The video stars Buff Bagwell & Scotty Riggs and in a wonderful origin story, this is what lead WCW to putting them together to form the American Males tag team. So in a way we have A-ha to thank for WCW jobbers being left in critical condition. Lovely stuff!

I'm sure this has been posted before but this is Power Uti v Luke Gallows from what seems like an empty stadium in Nigeria.

If I remember the story correctly, from when Gallows recounted it on Colt Cabana's podcast, it was actually performed for the Nigerian king only as he was a big wrestling fan, and his family and entourage were the only ones in attendance. Might be remembering it wrong though.

A crazy one from the world of lucha featuring New Japan's Hiromu Takahashi.

A show under a tarp in a town square is all going well when suddenly a dog runs in the ring.
I have started the clip when the dog does a run in. It also features in the finish as well.

I thought I had seen it all but it appears I had not....

Mortis and Funaki against Nazi Sean Dyche wasn't on my format sheet. Fascinating.

In the first match, love the sound that completely disinterested crowd makes when he hits that fantastic looking superkick. What a pop.

[Lion_of_the_Midlands]

Austin Aries got far too much offense in for my liking in that first match. I also think that Mortis would look better if his cape/shoulder pads were not held on by a clip that looks like it comes from a Poundland bum bag.

It's hard for me to fathom that two separate companies fumbled this gimmick by not making it a major part of the show, let alone how they treated Kanyon overall. What a look, and a performance to boot. 

[Devon Malcolm]

He was ace, wasn't he? His stuff was different without being too flashy and it looked like it hurt. A superb talent.
