Only thing that may stink is I highly doubt it’ll be chronological, just odd episodes from a variety of years. That’s too bad, but as old as we are getting here, I’m delighted and cannot wait.

Nice! Outside of the Old School section, this era hasn't even been represented on the Network until now.

Cool. Though a minor pet peeve I wish WWE would start uploading on the weekend.

On YouTube, there is a Valiant Brothers match taken from WWE Classics On Demand that aired on the 12-30-1978 edition of ASW, which isn't one of the episodes listed here. Hopefully, that means WWE has more full episodes from this period that will go up later.

For the last couple years of classics on demand they aired the other wwwf show Championship Wrestling in order from 1977 on.I don’t remember them airing much ASW other then a single show from 1984 then the rest in single match form like in the Valiant Brothers case in the HOF section or possibly the shorties section.

They’re up now, in the Vault section under All-Star Wrestling.

I think Antonino Rocca might be an even worse co-commentator than Art Donovan.

Some oddities:
The 1-20-1979 show is a whopping 57 minutes long, and according to HistoryofWWE.com's listings, it's actually the 1-20-1979 episode of Championship Wrestling.
Also, according to HistoryofWWE.com, this should be the card for the 3-10-1979 episode.
However, only the first two matches are shown. After that, the rest of the show is matches from the 3-3-1979 episode of CW, including Greg Valentine injuring Jay Strongbow with the figure 4. However, at the end, Vince McMahon plugs the 3-17 ASW feature match. It's very confusing.

Many/Much More must be the greatest tag team nobody remembers. They're all over the place.

I watched the first episode from 1975. I have no idea what Antonio Rocca was saying. Also chubby Buzz Sawyer as a job guy with a full head of hair. That was something.

It seemed to be a combination of throat clearing noises and broken English. At first I thought it must have been his first time on commentary because he was so bad. But Wikipedia says he did commentary on WWF shows from 1972-1976. It's amazing that a guy who could barely communicate maintained a job on commentary for that long!

If I’m not mistaken Rocca was over like rover with New York despite pretty well sucking at everything including wrestling. lol

Anyone know what's going on there?
