The video archive from Houston is pristine. They did a wonderful job preserving these treasures.

Both of these guys were heels. Not used to a match with two heels and no face. I grew up on WWWF, and there was always a clear-cut face and a clear-cut heel.
@1sportsfan7 күн бұрын
the promoter sacrifices a top heel to put himself over. No wonder Houston wrestling went out of business.

Love the Midnights theme. Just classic 80s Just getting to the ring was an ordeal for the R&R Express. People were hanging off them. This was delirium

Today’s WWE wrestlers all talk the same, look the same, wrestle the same….a boring kiddie show….

The fuck is this wimpy-ass commentary? The action and psychology in the match is really interesting to see as a modern wrestling fan but I‘m sorely missing a voice like Tony Schiavone or Jim Ross - someone with authority who doesn’t sound like they haven‘t got the slightest clue what they‘re talking about

Weird seeing Bull Curry get cheered. Next to the original Sheik, he was the craziest, scariest heel in Big Time Wrestling out of Detroit.

This was THE Dynamic Duo. Hernandez and Chris Adams were billed as such later, but Blanchard and Hernandez were so much better.

Amen , because a lot of these old-school promoters didn’t record a lot of the classic matches that went down their territories.
