WWE Vault Appreciation Thread

It was about time, I think.

Look what the nutters found now!

As long as we conveniently forget that the forum hated Abyss for a good few years there, this is bizarre/amazing.

Wait when did WWE buy the WWC archive? Otherwise, how do they have this footage unless Chris Parks gifted it to them? Weird inclusion, but very cool.

It was part of the deal to get Carlito's Da who helped cover up the Bruiser Brody murder into the Hall of Fame.

Ah good to know, I was aware of the other stuff with Carlos Colon but I had no idea they sold the video library.

Abyss vs Sabu, no rope barbed wire, is one of the best hardcore matches of all time.

Maybe it was because I was never a TNA viewer and only ever saw him in clips and the odd match, but I always had a soft spot for Abyss. It was kind of refreshing to see someone the size and shape of Kane doing hardcore matches in a time when that style was mainly done by lanky teenagers or fat old men.

Yeah, it's the perfect mix of obvious gore, but all the spots pay off, it builds well and Sabu has one of those magical nights where he drank whatever magic potion he needs to have a botch free match. It's great.

Abyss vs. Spud in 1PW was one of the best matches I've ever seen live too.

They’ve been giving newer viewers a taste of what SNME was like ahead of Saturday with the full episode upload featuring Savage vs Andre and two tag matches of Hogan and Warrior against Perfect and Genius in the run to WM6 and Hogan and Sid v Flair and Taker which is the match Sid, rightly, turns heel which leads to the WM8 main event

I watched this last night and I was tempted to start a 'feuds where the heel is in the right' thread.

From the very beginning where Sean Mooney asks Sid a question then turns his back on him to interview Hogan instead, then Hogan acting like a right dickhead at the Rumble. How anybody could boo Sid is beyond me!

I’ve been glued to it for days watching old Survivors Series stuff. Brilliant channel.

That sounds like a discussion that could be a lot of fun, I'd say.

I take it back, awful channel.

I just stuck WWF SUPERTAPE on and it starts off lukewarm with a Mr Perfect vs Rugged Ronnie Garvin match but then follows that up with three, that's right THREE Bushwackers tag matches back to back. The Bolsheviks, Bad News Brown & Brooklyn Brawler, and The Powers of Pain all falling victim to them as well. I just can't.

Bushwacker Mean Gene tries his best afterwards to soften the blow, but the damage is done.

Imagine the ammount of kids who put down pocket money on that tape?

At least Vol. 2 had a double dose of The Rockers and there's some Bret action too.

It's all about Supertape (SOOOPERTAPE) '92 lads. Load of fun dark matches and the full Tuesday in Texas event. Eating well with that one.
