Literally, the only thing I remember about Luger from that 3 month period is him facing Tatanka at King of the Ring and going to a draw.

The Something to Wrestle With about that King of the Ring made me remember the signs here and there that something different was coming with Lex. Particularly how othey constantly brought up his metal plate on his arm and whether it was legal.

Captain Lou, Bruno, Macho, Hart Foundation, Jake, Patera, and Hulk Hogan Real American The Hart Foundation and Jake tapes bring a couple of Ricky Steamboat's best WWF matches onto the Network, and Real American adds the Hogan/Andre cage match from Wrestlefest 88.

The Piper tape is finally up. The "Piper interviews Piper" segment is must-watch.
"I want all you kids out there to eat frog legs, but dont kill the frogs, thats bad luck!"

also if you pay attention you can hear lines being fed to Piper from off-camera when he interviews himself. we did a similar thing when I was in high school for "twin day" and it was pretty hard to get just right, especially back then when there wasn't digital editing.

Interesting how a lot of UK versions of US releases, which would be similar to their US counterparts but swap out matches for different ones, are being put up instead of the US originals. The one that immediately comes to mind is the Undertaker Face of Fear tape, instead of the US version (His Gravest Matches). I'll admit to being disappointed at not getting the latter because I watched the shit out of HGM as a kid.

I'll admit to being disappointed at not getting the latter because I watched the shit out of HGM as a kid. In the case of Undertaker, they're just two completely separate tapes. Gravest Matches was released in 1993 and is hosted by JR and Monsoon at a announce desk. FoF is from 1994 and hosted by Paul Bearer. There's also another Undertaker video from 1995 hosted by Ted DiBiase.

I was almost certain that at least a few of the same matches were shared between FoF and HGM, like the Bam Bam Bigelow match originally from March to WrestleMania IX. Is the one from 95 you're thinking of He Buries Them Alive, which has SummerSlam 94, and even a casket match with Jerry Lawler of all people? I wouldn't mind seeing that one go up either.

There is some overlap, but they were released several months apart and have different hosts. The same Bigelow match is on both tapes, although it's actually a Superstars taping dark match from May 1993, not the one from March to WM.

Also, they screwed up one of the bookmarks on FoF, labeling the Yokozuna match as being Yoko vs Paul Bearer.

I haven't seen it because I don't have the Network at present but I still have, I think, the UK Bret tape. Off the top of my head them matches include the Luger match mentioned with a run in from Razor, a Bam Bam match but not the KOTR one, the ladder match against HBK, the title match with Flair in Saskatoon, a match with Blake Beverley with dubbed over commentary from JR, Heenan and Savage and a match from RAW against Samu again with dubbed over commentary. The whole tape is hosted by Mean Gene with some added in promo clips from Bret post KOTR and title wins

Demolition, Warrior '89 and Warrior '92 all went up today So now the only "profile" tapes we need are: British Bulldogs Brutus Beefcake Macho Madness Hulkamania 1-6 Razor Ramon Undertaker: He Buries Them Alive Diesel Shawn Michaels: Hits from the Heartbreak Kid Sunny Bret Hart '97 Shawn Michaels: The Heartbreak Express Tour (reissued as Boyhood Dream back in the 2000s as a budget dvd) Wouldnt mind them uploading Wrestlefest 94 as well, lots of interesting sounding matches on there (of course, we all know about Harts/Steiners, but you also have Savage/Martel, Yoko/Perfect, and Diesel/Bret).
