Bryan Turner’s VHS Rehab YouTube channel has been uploading old Tennessee wrestling footage from a variety of different promotions that had previously been thought of as lost footage. Thankfully, a lot of footage has been donated to Bryan and he’s been posting new matches and segments every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Full shows published on Saturday’s. I decided to dedicate a column series where I review four matches and see how well they hold up. I’m sure some will be good, and some will be well, not so great. There are two volumes out already. Volume One: wrestlingrecaps.com/2022/12/25/lost-tennessee-footage-bryan-turner-vhs-rehab-collection-volume-one/Fabulous Ones vs. Dundee & Lawler Sabu vs. Mike Rapada Tracy Smothers vs. Chris Harris The Naturals vs. Risky Business Volume Two: wrestlingrecaps.com/2023/01/01/lost-tennessee-footage-bryan-turners-vhs-rehab-collection-volume-two/Hot Shots (Chase Stevens & Cassidy Riley) vs. Larry Zbyszko & Terry Taylor Joey Matthews vs. Chris Vaughn Nick Dinsmore & Rob Conway vs. Sean O’Haire & Mark Jindrak David Young vs. AJ Styles |

Rapada was a PWI guy I remember as a kid and I had never really seen his stuff. So, this channel has provided a lot of cool stuff including seeing what Rapada was like in the ring. |

Colorado Kid doesn't look like anything special. Speaks to how dire the low the NWA had gotten at that point.

For those who don’t know before more recent candidates made it more competitive *cough* Tyrus *cough* Rapada was frequently regarded as the worst NWA World Champ ever. Especially when PWI, The Wrestler and other Apter mags would list the NWA along ECW, WWF and WCW and others. Colorado Kid just looked so bush league in comparison to the top talents of others at the time. |

It probably doesn't help that Rapada had to pay like what 10k for the run with the strap?

Yea 10k is the number always rumored.But then it is rumored Magnum TA's parents morgaged their home to pay for his US title run.
Found this footage the other day. Was looking for older Cassidy Riley matches,since he is retring something this year. Lots of great TN stuff on that channel.
