Great Wrestling Youtube Channels

[Ultimo Gallos]

We already got a great thread for free matches on Youtube. So how about one for channels that are loaded with great footage? Just try to make sure they don't have stuff that WWE owns on the channel.

First one I am gonna post is Fancamguy. He is based in the Memphis area. And goes to pretty much every show within an hour or so of Memphis and films every match. Super nice dude,met him at a casino show in Lula few years ago on Labor Day weekend. So since he is Memphis based you know that means he has some Jerry Lawler matches.


Here's Lawler vs Kevin Thorne From about a year ago at the Memphis Redbirds Wrestling Night


Lawler vs Johnny Swinger from about 2 years ago.

And from 4 years ago here is Marko Stunt,early in his career, vs Paris Kelly


What I discovered after meeting Fancamguy was Memphis has a decent Lucha Libre scene. It's a mixture of local luchadores and ones from CMLL or AAA.



Atlantis vs Ultimo Guerrero. These shows are held in a Hispanic night club.



Was so pissed when I missed the show with the last two matches. Never figured Atlantis,Ultimo Guerrero or Barbaro Cavernero would ever wrestling within driving distance of me.

Looking forward to seeing what all channels yall have.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Ok and the next channel.

Bodyslam Media Productions is ran by Koby Rutland. He started filming matches ,with his brand new iPhone,when he was 17 years old. Now he is 23 and has been all over the south filming matches for feds. Plus for almost 2 years he was part of the SWA Championship Wrestling commentary team. SWA is a mid Mississippi based indy fed that has a tv show that airs on 3 channels in MS and the episodes are uploaded to the FITE app. And then last year after talking about it since I first met Koby when he was 15,Koby promoted the first Lucha Libre event in MS wrestling history. May 4th 2019 Hoodmark Lucha Libre had their first,and sadly only,event in Brandon MS.

That is the Bodyslam Media Productions youtube channel. Where most of the matches on it were filmed by Koby. And you got a wide range of Superstars,indie greats,southern legends and many many others.



March 14th 2014 Memphis POWER Wrestling in Tunica, MS at the Resorts Casino
Too Cool(Grandmasta Sexxy and Scotty 2 Hotty) vs CHase Stevens and Crimson


February 4, 2017 Louisiana Championship Wrestling: SuperBrawl in Oakdale, LA.
ODB vs Leva Bates

Koby told us about how he had to pick up Leva at an airport,about 40 minutes from Oakdale. And the entire drive she was talking about how much she wanted a chilli dog. Sadly Koby didn't ask her if she was Sonic the Hedgehog. He said on the ride back to the airport after the show she watched his footage of her match and "was nitpicking everything she did. SHe was just being really hard on herself."


December 3, 2016 Pro Wrestling EGO: The Last Call in Pearl, MS.
Ted Dibiase Jr,Fuego Del Sol, Son of JYD Mike Carter vs The Southern Renegade Joey Abel,Calvin Rose and Marvelous Monty Warbucks
Every few years Ted Jr will do a EGO show. Normally they are at the camp for kids that the Dibiase family funds. Fuego Del Sol is a damn good luchadore that I am surprised hasn't moved out of the deep south scene yet. Mike Carter claims to be JYD's son. ANd is a decent 80s WWF power wrestler style guy. Joey Abel is the promoter of Battlezone Championship Wrestling and a decent heel. Calvin Rose is a good modern southern brawler.And Monty is a great heel. Reminds me in ways of Kevin Owens.


March 10, 2018 WrestleBirmingham: Reloaded in Bessemer, AL.
The Ultimate Dragon vs Action Mike Jackson

Jackson is a southern legend. Dude has been wrestling since IIRC the early 70s. And it is amazing how much high flying he can still do when he is fairly old. Ultimate Dragon...this guy ... Nice dude,really nice dude. And was wrestling as Ultimate Dragon long before Ultimo Dragon came to WCW and became known to most North American fans. But this guy on a few occasions has wrestled as Ultimo Dragon and claimed to be "The WCW Ultimo Dragon". Have heard at times he would bring a WCW replica belt and claim it was the one he won in WCW. I met him about 4 years ago ,at a WrestleBirmingham show. Where he worked under his real name...Something Hogan ,Josh or Jason IIRC. Like I said nice dude. Decent base for high flying wresters. But The whole pretending to be Ultimo Dragon thing I know can be an issue for people.


November 19, 2016 Pro Wrestling EGO: 5th annual Great Southern 8 tournament in Jackson, MS at The Hideaway.
Warhorse Jake Parnell vs Jon Davis

For years now the Great SOuthern 8 has been a one night single elimination style tournament. Was started as a deep south tribute to the ECWA Super 8 tournament. Since the Owner of EGO and the head booker are both late 30s/early 40s and read piles of Apter mags. Jon Davis is best known for being part of the Dark City Fight Club. Jake Parnell of course blew up last year as Warhorse. For years now EGO has been booking Jake. ANd he has gotten the chance to work and improve on his ringwork and mic work. All while appearing in front of maybe 120 tops. Cause no matter who is booked for an EGO show they never draw more than 140.Most shows they are lucky to break 90. Seen them have Jef Cobb vs a really popular local guy for a main event,and this was right after Cobb was hot off LU and his PWG stuff,they drew 50 fans.

Ok figure that is enough matches. But hope yall enjoy the channel. ANy of yall know of a good channel post it. I will be back in a few weeks with another channel.

Interesting stuff, ' will take a better look at these later tonight. I don't follow too many channels as I'm mostly into podcasts, ' would be nice to hear about new ones. I think only channel I know is Wrestling with Wregret and that PCO one.

[Ultimo Gallos]

I love Wrestling with Wregret. And the PCO one. Once I started my footage channel I started finding others.The two I posted are people I know. Fancamguy I met 4 years ago. Dude is about my age and travels all over West TN/North MS filming matches.

Then of course I have been friends with Koby Quarters Rutland of Bodyslam Media since he went to his second wrestling show. This weekend him and his fiance are in Houston. He is filming the big Texas All Star indy show. Then they got tickets to the Royal Rumble Sunday night. While most high school kids spend their weekends doing I have no clue anymore. Koby spent almost all of his on the road driving all over the deep south to film shows. And it is thanks to him that I have gotten to go on many of those trips.

[Joe Neglia]

I can't offer up any current indies or the like, but some of the wrestling YT channels I subscribe to (beyond Wrestling with Wregret) include:

TheWrestlingArchivist - Lots of non-WWE-owned footage from the 70s and 80s, from places like St Louis, Montreal, Savoldi's ICW. Some complete shows, including recent uploads of West Four Wrestling Alliance shows.



(dunno why the thumbnail isn't showing up, the embed works)

Similarly, there is Armstrong Alley, who post full shows and selected matches from a number of old school promotions not owned by McMahon yet (in fairness, while he has a lot of WWC/Puerto Rico on there, it was before the footage purchase.)

A third of this type is Wrestling Home Museum, though they're WWC-heavy too, which will likely change. Several other Caribbean promotions on there.

[Ultimo Gallos]

I love Armstrong Alley.
