As cool as the video is, I just can't help but really miss this era. The shitty camera, shitty audio, dark arena, basically everything looking and sounding like a boxing match. Fink introducing the wrestlers when they are in the ring, climbing back into the ring after to declare a winner and time of the match, just everything.... I miss it. That's what made me a fan to begin with - the sporting aspect of it. Looked like boxing but with moves, countermoves, play-by-play. As far as the quality of the production, it looked like I had the rabbit ears at just the right setting on my local UHF station. What the heck was cable? Clicking around the dial to find something like this would be like striking gold.

Really awesome find. It's a shame that Vince Sr. was too afraid to pull the trigger. I've said it before, the WWWF was already known & well established as being very cartoony in comparison to the other territories. How Sr. thought that bringing in a celebrity would've exposed the business is kinda ridiculous.
Thankfully, Lawler did pull the trigger.

Anyone else here see that story about Kaufmans alleged daughter appearing at some convention and proclaiming that Andy is alive? I'd link the video if I was'nt so technologically inept, I find it interesting and I know nothing of Kaufman outside of the Lawler deal on that talkshow.

Was wondering the same. Also always forget that Dibiase was around that early, and Santana won the tag titles with Putski.

Just imagining how great Kaufman would have been as a heel manager
