Did they ever film the Natural Disasters winning the belts from Money Inc.? Yes, it happened at a Superstars taping and was released on a Coliseum Video tape called Grudges, Gripes, and Grunts. It's worth watching not just because it's a title change but also because Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan recorded their commentary after Typhoon became the Shockmaster, and they make references to his WCW debut where he fell by mistake.

Has anyone got a list of House Show title changes that are available and taped that they could add? I remember seeing a clip of The Mountie vs Bret Hart IC Title Change in Springfield, MA in January 1992. WWE showed it themselves at Rumble 92. Though I’m not sure it was on the original PPV. I know it’s on the Anthology set because I remember being surprised by seeing it. Don’t recall it on the original PPV, which I had on tape for years. It’s possible I’d just forgotten it though.

The Mountie-Bret footage was a Coliseum exclusive originally. Didn't air on the PPV or on television, either.

It was a Coliseum exclusive segment on the 1992 Rumble tape, and those segments were, for whatever reason, spliced into the 2007 DVD and included on the Network. They did the same for the 1989 Rumble on the DVD set, but on the Network, it's just the straight PPV version

It’s also a blu-ray exclusive on the True Giants release from a few years back.

Motherf***ing sold! Is this on the network?

They don’t even have stills from Money Inc. over LOD in Denver CO in February 1992

This thread got me thinking. What were the first title changes for the World, IC, and Tag Titles to actually be televised? Were clips shown to explain to the TV audience who the new Champion was? I can't fathom the announcers going, "oh by the way, Ivan Koloff beat Bruno Sammartino for the WWF World Title, now how about that hammerlock by Ivan Putski?!"

Edge winning the IC Title over Jarrett is on one of the Edge DVD sets. This was the night before a PPV, where Edge/Jarrett was already booked and suddenly became a title defense for Edge instead of a challenge. And IIRC I think they aired the finish during Edge's entrance on that PPV. I remember seeing a clip of The Mountie vs Bret Hart IC Title Change in Springfield, MA in January 1992. WWE showed it themselves at Rumble 92. Though I’m not sure it was on the original PPV. I know it’s on the Anthology set because I remember being surprised by seeing it. They aired it on WWF TV back in 1992, and as I recall it looked more like fancam footage than official footage. Count me as one who doesn't recall if it was shown on the PPV footage - though I have *both* the original Coliseum video and the Anthology DVD of Rumble '92 so I'll try to remember to check that this weekend.

Other than the non-recognized changes (Inoki over Backlund, Valentine over Backlund at the Garden), I believe the only world title change that has no footage is Stasiak over Morales in 1973. There is video of the Sammartino vs. Buddy Rogers change in 1963 but I've only ever seen stills. Most of the early IC title changes were MSG or Spectrum shows, so tapes exist. Santana over Muraco was on an early Colesium tape, and Valentine over Santana was a Maple Leaf Wrestling tv taping. I have no idea on the original tag team titles.

Diesel’s split-second title win over Bob Backlund just days after the Survivor Series. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe WWE aired a brief clip of The Quebecers winning the tag belts back from Men On a Mission during an international tour. Not taped, but I remember photos appearing in WWE Magazine when the Steiner Brothers and Money Inc. did a series of title changes during a house show loop. It's too bad they didn't get a shot of Backlund crawling to the back through the aisle. You want to talk about a way to put over the new champ, holy shit.
