August 23, 2008FCW Tag Team Title Match The Rotundas: Bo Rotunda(Bo Dallas) and Duke Rotunda(Bray Wyatt) VS Justin Angel(Justin Gabriel/PJ Black) and Kris Logan(Brian Cage or just Cage in Lucha Underground) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHoAmbR-VYMIt's incredible to see how small Brian Cage was back then. I watched FCW back then and had no idea for a year or two that Brian Cage was Kris Logan in FCW. It makes sense that he can pull off lucha style moves considering the fact that he had to be about thirty to forty pounds lighter back then. BTW I was a huge fan of the Rotundas back then. Both of them were very young and already solid wrestlers. I really thought they could have been brought up as a solid tag team sort of like a new modern version of the blackjacks or something.(No not the New Blackjacks. I mean updated from that. It doesn't show it here but they both wore the cowboy style boots and the gloves back then). I always tell people to go on youtube and watch early Rotunda brother stuff from FCW whenever people say Bray isn't very good in the ring. He had a very unorthodox athletic style that doesn't work for him now because he would get cheered too much. Notice at around 2:41 in the video that he does the gator roll which Luke Harper does now.

- Jerry Lawler vs. Kevin Steen (Kevin Owens) at "Wrestling Under The Stars" in 2014 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyESYSHb0mc- CM Punk and Seth Rollins (WWE and NXT champions respectively at the time) vs. Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) happened as a "dark match" at an NXT taping in 2012. While footage of what happened after the match exists www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B6sSKhlMvk , no footage of the match itself has emerged yet, sadly.

To Sid's credit, he's one of the people who looked the least stupid in that kind of gear, of all the people who have done Mad Max/Road Warrior gimmicks.

You hear me WWE? $9.99!

The one detraction I find in Sid's version of LH is him keeping his hair. While their bodies weren't quite as impressive as his, some of the earlier LH's sporting the bald look made the visual more impressive in a way.

And due to WWE covering their asses in case of liability, they almost assuredly have that match on tape. It just might be from one camera angle or something, but it's unlikely they've discarded it.

WWF Houston, TX - May 20, 1983 Mr. Wrestling II & the Junkyard Dog defeated Mr. Olympia & King Kong Brody via disqualification Super Destroyer & the Masked Superstar defeated Tito Santana & Mil Mascaras Butch Reed defeated Rip Rogers Gran Markus defeated Johnny Rich Nick Bockwinkel defeated Dusty Rhodes WWF World Champion Bob Backlund defeated WWF Tag Team Champion Afa
A WWF Card, in 1983 had Bockwinkel vs Dusty. That just screams Boesch's booking, yet was a WWF card.
