The thread with the WWN footage got me curious. In 1985, Paul Heyman became a producer at the infamous Studio 54 and held a wrestling event at it. Bam Bam Bigelow debuted for the first time at this show, and Heyman got Jim Crockett to lend him Flair, Dusty and Magnum for the show.
Beyond that, I'm not sure of any further details on the event. Has any sort of card or results ever come forth, and has any pics or video of the event come forth?

WWE showed off a few pictures from it on Twitter for its 34th anniversary last year:   As far as matches, I'm not sure there were any besides Bam Bam's debut. There's a shoot interview with Bigelow where he says he wrestled 5 guys in a handicap/gauntlet match of some sort; I'm assuming probably other trainees from Larry Sharpe's school. |

Good god, Heyman was 19 when he promoted that show. I know he was really young when he started as a photographer at MSG but that’s still ridiculous to think of him promoting a show like that at 19 |
