I'm trying to find a rare old wrestling video. I'm looking for a 1966 video of Bruno Sammartino vs. Cowboy Billy Watts where Billy Watts reads a petition that was sent to him by the Bronx High School of Science.

I've done some searching but can't find it. Does anyone know where I might be able to find it? Is there an online or offline archive that I could try? I know it's a real long shot, but thought I'd ask anyway. :wave:

honestly 60s era WWWF footage is pretty hard to come by.

there are a few 60s WWF tv shows floating around. not sure what else might be out there.

They didn't really get serious about saving the footage til the 70s.

What Seth means is that he hasn't seen anybody else post this particular moment elsewhere on the internet for him to plagiarise as his own knowledge.

do you know the video exists/have you seen it before or is this something you've read about and want to see? Because if it's the latter, it either probably doesn't exist or is buried in the WWE tape vault

I review old WWWF/WWF shows for another site and it's hard enough finding shows from the early 80's. That would be a great match to see though.

Nothing prior to 1975 according to Wikipedia. Theoretically the WWE can go as far back as the 1950s from all the libraries they own.

Well, if their DVD is to be believed, they've been around since 1963.
