...to watch on the Network. Whether it be a hidden gem of a match, an entire show, or your favorite episode of Slam City, help the rest of us appreciate wrestling history the way that YOU do!

One of my favorite matches is Shawn Michaels v. The British Bulldog for the Intercontinental title on an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event from November of 1992 (I think). Check it out!

Whatcha got?

Obscure hidden gem: Afa vs Dick Murdoch WWF 1984 MSG show. Murdoch's comdeic selling is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Getting the obvious out of the way, if any of you have the Network and don't watch NXT, you're missing out big time. Lots of fun to be had on that show.

Do they have dates on those shows or what? I haven't watched any.

It was during Murdoch and Adonis's tag title reign. From memory I'm gonna say October 22nd 1984 (i have it written on my dvd). Adonis fought Sika on that show, Valentine vs Santana for the IC belt abd Hogan vs Studd for the world.

I LOVE watching old MSG/Boston Garden/Philly Spectrum shows from 1983-1986, as well as old T.V tapings. Been on a huge kick from that time period. Really interesting to see the transition from Vince Sr's WWF to Vince Jr

One of the first 2 or 3 RAW 's has a running storyline of Repo Man re possessing Macho Man's hat. Fun times.

Also, main event of In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies. Kevin Nash 's best match ever.

And, the opener of King of the Ring '96 between Austin and Marc Mero. 4 star match.

There's also a Flair vs. Arn match on that card too, which is really good as you'd expect.</font>

where to begin with this topic.

here's a few worth checking out.

the crowd alone here is just amazing.

these four put on an outstanding tag team match. I would it in my top ten list for my favorite matches ever.

Kenta Kobashi/Tsuyoshi Kikuchi versus Can Am Express (Dan Kroffat/Doug Furnas)
<object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/RY5NDCCoUNs?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/RY5NDCCoUNs?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

These four men in this one had many many great matches in their careers. Many of them featured the four of them. Their feud in Japan was just awesome.

this one is another all time favorite match of mine

Kenta Kobashi/Mitsuharu Misawa versus Akira Taue/Toshiaki Kawada

Check out Paul Orndorff turning heel on Hogan in 1986. His heel turn was just bad timing for Paul. Too bad it wasn't earlier in the year. It could have headlined WM2.

I remember hearing that if Andre couldn't go for Mania 3, Orndorff would get his spot

Rey is encouraging the USA chants, though. Did you notice he was billed as being from Tijuana, Mexico? Also, they were calling him Ultimate Dragon.

Orndorff honestly had one of the best fucking looks I've ever seen. He was a BEAST and absolutely tremendous, and he knocked Vader around while retired and wearing flip flops B-) Well I'm pretty sure he was retired
