It's worth noting that these are not the specials that aired on MTV. The "War to Settle the Score" on MTV was a 1-hour show that recapped the Rock and Wrestling storyline and hyped the Hogan/Piper match, then went live to MSG for it. That show is on YouTube. I've seen the Youtube stuff. I want the entire cards.

I've seen the Youtube stuff. I want the entire cards. I do, too. Labeling the show "MSG Feb. 18, 1985" would be more accurate, though, since using the name implies it's the MTV special. I'm glad they included every match. The Jan. 1984 MSG event is missing matches on the Network for some reason even though the full show was aired on COD.

Both "War to Settle the Score" and "Brawl to End it All" are gone from the network, at least for the time being anyways.

Apparently some last minute music issues? But reading a review on Brawl... didn't seem like anything slipped through the cracks...

On the 1985 show, "Real American" was dubbed in for Hogan's entrance. Don't know about Richter's entrance on that show, but for the 1984 match, both her and Moolah were already in the ring after the pre-match interview with Moolah and Albano.

This week's Gem is the "Superstars on the Superstation" special from Feb. 7, 1986. Basically, JCP taped some big matches at the Omni on a Sunday and aired them on TBS the next Friday. Here is the card: NWA World Tag Team Championship: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express (c) vs. The Midnight Express The Road Warriors vs. Ivan Koloff & Nikita Koloff NWA National Championship: Dusty Rhodes (c) vs. Tully Blanchard NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Ric Flair (c) vs. Ron Garvin I barely remembered that Dusty held the National Title in 1986. Turns out it's because he never actually won it, he was given the belt after Landell was canned.

So they have Bulldog vs Undertaker from 11/30/91, looks like a non title match, thought the network it is a title match, if so the Bulldog first WWF title shot, who know it would be the first of so many.

I just watched this match. I would have given every dime of my allowance back then for that footage of Undertaker and Paul Bearer with the Wind Eagle belt. During the match I was thinking about how Undertaker has been around pretty much the exact length of my fandom. And as I was reminiscing what an amazing talent he is, he completely botched the finish of the match. It was terrible.

That was better than I was expecting. That main event was pretty fun, and outside of Jammer/Blanchard (which consisted almost entirely of Jammer working the arm), there was nothing outright bad. Wonder if they have Twin Wars 90 somewhere in the archives.

OT, but do they have any Vince/USWA stuff that they could post or is that part of the disputed Memphis library that will never see the light of day?

WWE has Vince's promos and him appearing on The King's Court since those were WWE-produced segments. They just wouldn't have any Memphis studio footage of Lawler responding or Vince's one appearance at the Mid-South Coliseum.

I've heard that the Shango/Owen Hart dark match from KOTR 93 was billed as a USWA title match (with Shango being the champion), but there's no confirmation of that.
