Recommend some stuff that you don't think a lot of people have seen...
...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.

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 just started Hog Wild 96, and it's fucking hilarious so far. Nothing has happened, but I'm losing it.

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. |

I think it was a Boston Garden card in 86 that had a very nice Steamboat/Bret Hart match, it was either on the Network or on youtube.

Might have posted this in 100,000 replies but...Flyin' Brian vs. Johnny B Badd in the opening match of Fall Brawl 1995. There's no way that wasn't Mero's best match ever.
There's also a Flair vs. Arn match on that card too, which is really good as you'd expect. |

Same show, there's a pretty entertaining segment directly following that match with Team Raw...uhhh....discussing strategy, I guess.

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) 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 Genichiro Tenryu versus Ted Dibiase |

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.

Orndorff was injured during that time. I doubt he would have been able to compete anyways. His arm was fucked.

When did he turn heel? I wonder if Macho Man's late-86 run against Hogan on the house shows cut into his program.
