I really hate I didnt watch more WcW stuff. I always, whenever I see old VHS tapes or any way to get my hands on any WcW event, I grab it. I'd love to see some classic old WcW stuff, I own Halloween Havoc 1990 and a lot of 1996-1998 WcW stuff, but that's a big gap? I do own all the World War 3s (I dont think I got 96's, Im not sure) but a massive gap. I recently got Bash at the Beach 1995, fun stuff. Yea, 1990-1995, Id love to see WcWs product. Hell, 89 and lower, Id be all over it. Little OT, sorry.
ALSO Jayman , I talk a lot here, so if you wanna ignore that, go to my bold part.
NOW what I really want....is 89 and lower. I've seen some of those matches, seen cards, and Id love more to collect 89 and lower.
I also wish there were tapes of territory type shows. I hear Cornette has a decent tape collection he sells on his site...and i've considered it. Im an oldschool guy, but sadly, I was a little bit of a WWF fanboy, it was Hogan....I was 4-7 from 85-89. I really feel I missed out on WcW-NWA super early years.
I own so much WWF stuff (Why I always buy back up VCRs). Only big card Im missing is Summerslam 1988. Where Honky Tonk loses his title in a basic squash match to the Warrior. Mega Bucks Vs Mega Powers. The card btw didnt look too special.
Jake Vs Hercules
Hart Foundation Vs Demolition
Bossman Vs KoKo B Ware
Dino Bravo Vs Don Muraco
Powers of Pain Vs Bolsheiks
Bad News Vs Ken Patera
Bulldogs Vs Rougeaus
Nothing special, but man, I miss cards like this. I mean, now, we get everything, back then....it took a while to get the big matches. Bossman Vs KoKo, looks like a squash. Jake the Snake and Hercules, easy stuff. I loved this type.
I do wanna ask, if you had to help someone, get the best out of WcW-NWA, what cards you recommend?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WCW_pay-per-view_events
Looks like the earliest is Starrcade 87 (Flair Vs Garvin)
Al the way to Greed (Last WcW PPV, Id like to see it just to see how bad of a train wreck WcW was at the end)
Here are the few WcW cards I got:
Bash at the Beach - 95, 98, 99
Great American Bash - 99
Fall Brawl - 96, 98
Halloween Havoc - 90, 96, 98
Hog Wild - 96
Road Wild 98, 99
Slamboree - 99, 98
Souled Out - 99
Spring Stampede - 99
Starrcade - 98, 99
Uncensored - 99
World War 3 - 95, 98
So yea, massive gaps. (Also, my friend did tape WW3 60 man battle royals of 97-96 for me, I swore I had one of them, the entire card, I guess I thought wrong). I got most of these from an oldschool video store, closing down and basically selling their tapes for like a .50 cents to 1.50 each. I snagged everything I could, WcW and WWF alike. Probably left with like...40-50 tapes, and spent about 50ish bucks, no regrets. (I miss those old video stores, who'd actually get some of the wrestling stuff)
Phew so yea, Id def love to see that 87 starrcade and anything 88-92. My question (Get to the point right, lol) if you had to suggest, some of WcWs best cards, hell from 87-to Greed, which ones would you say give a watch-look to buy? I always hear from WcW fans that their WMania was Star Cade.
I always loved the WW3s (Im a bit of a battle royal-Royal Rumble fanboy, Ill admit those kind of matches are my wrestling weakness. Loved the oldschool survivor series, the 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 elimination matches, Survivor Series 89-90 are my guilty pleasures. 1991 disappointed me a bit, I hated how the main event they basically took out the two big stars in Jake and Macho and or Sid. I wish it been Jake-Natural Disasters-IRS Vs Sid-LOD-Bossman. 92 they totally lost the script. There were a few more okay survivor series cards, but nothing like 87-90. One thing I also hate, I bought the 1987 Survivor Series, and my god, 87-88 survivor series is some awful editing. THEY EDITED OUT THE BULLDOGS ELIMINATION! I also loved that too...those big tag team survivor series matches, your partner gets pinned, you go too. Phew ok sorry!)
So yea, if you could suggest some of the best WcW cards, where would you go? Which events would you put at the top of the pile? What were the best Starrcades? Also, as I love Battle Royals, are any of the Battle Bowls a good watch?
TY for any help, sorry for the long post too brother. Also, if anyone can suggest some good WcW cards, man, let me know!
