They always talked about how good Kurt looked after weeks, if not days of training. I believe he signed his WWE developmental deal this month, so this must have been the latter. Amazing that he's able to have such a competent match after that little time when he didn't grow up a fan of the business (and probably still had some 'shooter' instincts in him from his amateur days).

This is recorded as his 3rd ever match, although it's possible there's some missing from the records.   But, it'll deffo be one of his first.

Fan cam footage of a WCW house show in 1997 at a baseball stadium.
Notable for the wrestlers coming to the ring on little golf carts.

Ric Flair getting his confidence back and being 'THE MAN' again. A proper highlight from that awful 2003 period. Brilliant segments all of them. It's probably the most you ever sympathise with Flair as a character. For wrestling, it's subtly acted too, which given the players involved is a minor miracle in itself.

Footage from a French match in 1984 where the ring is on water. Occasionally a train rumbles past in the background. 
Apparently these were pretty normal in France at the time.

SPOILER ALERT - someone ends up in the water.

I can see this meme getting around places. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is convinced I sung it like this and had it as a gimmick in my head when I was a stoned broke student for a few years:

Dumb but fun.

Seen that getting shared in a bunch of non-wrestling places. 

If it really catches fire I'd suspect we'll see Jericho leech onto it somehow - he had a theme that was a knock off of Even Flow first, you know!

This feller here has some very good quality WCW Saturday nights from 1992 and Prime Time wrestling from 88/89

Just posting this because I really love Owen Hart & The Bulldog bickering as heels. Owen just hilariously shit talking Bulldog to his face and Davey just gives him that lovely gormless expression. Nobody got better out of the Bulldog as a personality than Owen Hart did. Marvelous pair of silly pricks.

Ha, love them. It’s mad really that their run as a tag team really wasn’t that long. Was it even a year they were a regular team? Yet they were such a highlight from that 96/97 period it seems like they had a good few years together like a Demolition or something. I wish things worked out different and we got more of them.

We don't deserve DDP.

Not youtube, but still pretty cool.

It’s New Year’s Eve and for no reason whatsoever I’ve randomly got this stuck in my head.

It's a proper stock music jam in fairness. Like all the great WCW themes are.

Wrestling at a livestock market from 1998.
I think this is a new one on me. I could be wrong. Never heard of a wrestling show at a livestock market before.

Shane Stevens getting his hands on a Boy at a meat market, shock, horror(!).
