ONUG and I sat down at 3:30 in the morning last week to watch this little piece of wrestling history. He had purchased it for eroc the white mystery and we figured we might as well treat ourselves to a little preview. Well, after about an hour and a half of pure old school mat-slapping bliss, the screen went fuzzy and now the damn tape won't come out of my VCR. But what I saw was incredible. All the matches take place in foreign countries and very little of the commentary is in English. There are also slightly uncomfortable interludes with Mean Gene, Frenchy Martin, and Outback Jack. Not so PC, if you know what I mean. The highlight was probably an outdoor match in Puerto Rico between The Killer Bees and Barry O and Iron Mike Sharp. It's pouring rain throughout the entire match and everyone in the huge stadium has already gone home. Very surreal. That masked guy on the cover is Andre the Giant, in case there was any confusion about that. |
