This is awesome.

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

This match is a thing of beauty. A real work of art. Thanks to whoever posted this 👍🏾

Two legends of wrestling helping it to become a great business RIP Harley Race & Terry Funk.

Big Cat Ernie Ladd was standing on business!🤠💪🏽😏

Enjoyed watching this match

better camera here than the CCTV today

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.

the promoter sacrifices a top heel to put himself over. No wonder Houston wrestling went out of business.

13:23 Blading.

Lewen later on was at his most creative with his gimick the purple haze.

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

RIP 2 GOATs of the squared circle

Ganbare Harley Race !

The Superfly

Harley reminds me of the ornery sailor in Jaws 1

They both had great afros

Harley Race looks like a bag of potatoes but was one of the baddest mfers to lace up

Patera doing the military press back in the day was incredible. 🏋🏼‍♀️

The Roadhouse movie made Terry Funks Morgan character look like a jerk,he acted tough but always got beat up.

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

Petra had muscles on muscles here. He was chiseled.

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

Verne Gagne was the worst promoter for the awa his stubbornness ruined the awa kept the titles on the old guys instead of going new breed

13:30 the camera all in on that blade job

Both. Awesome

1st time ive ever seen Funk a baby face

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.

These guys had wrestling down to a fine art! Brilliant choreography, and professional style. True professionals. May they both RIP.

Jack Brisco brought a certain nobility to the NWA crown. He looked like a world champion!!

14:01 Random fan yelling smd to Cornette😂😂😂

1:11. Brody was a brute.

Only the legend Frank Goodish would bring a C-Clamp to a wrestling match!

Malenko calling his own match in his heel persona is awesome

Harlwy Race looks like hes at retirement age here.

what year was this?? does anybody know?

Dusty is looking relatively slim. This is the kind of match I grew up watching. Good memories!

Wrestling at its finest! May both Andre, and Harley Race rest in peace!

GINO HERNANDEZ !

Not a fan of the "Two out of Three Falls" Matches, But I Love these Classic Houston Arena matches & the sound of that Mat.👍🏾

YOU FOLKS OUT THERE LETS GIVE PAUL BOESH AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF CREDIT FOR ALWAYS HAVING HIS CARDS OF WRESTLING VIDEOTAPED AND AS YOU CAN SEE KEPT THESE TAPES IN PERFECT CONDITION. WHERE ELSE DO YOU SEE ANYONE BODY SLAMMING ANDRE THE GIANT IN CLASSIC GREAT VIDEO LIKE THIS. THANKS PAUL BOESH.

Little things that Corny did made him so damn good.

3:40 The ICONIC Bob Caudle

Anyone know if he ever competed against Alekseyev in international weightlifting competitions??

Three of wrestling's greats when it was fun, Bruiser Brody, The Stomper, and Buckley Christopher George Robley.

1981 Ken Patera vs 1999 Scott Steiner

I like Andre the Giants
