Watching Super Tape 1 right now. So far of note a surprisingly good Ronnie Garvin vs Mr. Perfect match and a feature with the Bushwhackers where it is made clear that Vince thought New Zealand and Australia are the same place. I love with the Garvin-Perfect match they said it was because a kid suggested that match. What sad child requests a Ron Garvin match In one of the Fan Favorite tapes Mooney says a kid requested Bret Hart vs Dino Bravo. No disrespect to Bret but nobody has ever requested a Dino Bravo match. I call shenanigans.

I went and checked the show on the Network after reading your write up, and the things you said were missing were there. The 1984 battle royal had the ending, and they showed the 1983 Snuka/Muraco cage match before the tag match involving them, Albano, and Skaaland.

The network must have had a major glitch when I watched it Saturday!

The Anvil vs Warlord match had to be one of the worse I have ever seen I raise you the Bushwackers vs. Powers of Pain from Super Tape 1. --- culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wwe-network-grudge-match86/Grudge Match '86 is full of feuds, blood and brawls including Terry Funk's troubles with the JYD, Hulk Hogan's tussle with Don Muraco, a pair of hard hitting Greg Valentine and Tito Santana bouts for the IC title, Bruno Sammartino butting heads with Billy Graham and Ivan Koloff, and the Hogan/Piper rivalry coming to a head!

One of my favorite Coliseum Video releases, the Hogan/Muraco match would lead to a steel cage match at MSG the following month, it aired on WWF 24/7 back in the day, hopefully WWF uploads more MSG shows.

Anyone else notice on the 90 minute Comp Tapes it's either a heel win or a no finish most of the time?

Slaughter/Martel was better then I thought it would be. Can't say the same about this Anvil/Skinner just wouldn't end

culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/from-the-wwe-network-inside-the-steel-cage/"Inside the Steel Cage" has some classic matches. Randy Savage and Adrian Adonis fighting Bruno Sammartino and Tito Santana is the stand out. Andre vs. Studd is like a monster movie come to life, Piper brawling with Bruno is great fun. The classic endings to Santana against Valentine and Muraco defending the IC title against Snuka are worth the inclusion, plus we get Hogan, Backlund and Bruno title defenses!

culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wwe-network-villains-squared-circle/"Villians of the Squared Circle" sees an early dose of evil Jake the Snake, a bloody fight with Pedro Morales and Animal Steele, Andre squares off with an NFL star nearly as large as he is, Captain Lou takes a beating from Gorilla Monsoon, Don Muraco looks for a porker to screw, highlights from an angle that Mid-South mocked on their TV soon after, Roddy Piper's greatest hits, Macho Man's conniving victory over IC champ Tito Santana, an American hero falls short, Andre falls to Studd and Bundy's assault, and we close with a haircut that spawned months of violence!

Finally got around to watching some more of these watched Mega Matches and seeing Hillbilly Jim going back to Mudlick to visit Granny was very poignant and his soulful rendition of “Blue eyes crying in the rain” in its entirety shouldn’t be missed granny and his old smell hound really enjoyed it.
