Best of St. Louis Wrestling 1980
By Scott Keith on 24 October 2022
Scott,
Thank you for the entertainment that gets many of us through the workday. Though this is a clip show of St Louis 1980 the announcer makes it easy to piece together what is occurring. Why this announcing style didn't survive in wrestling is disappointing.
Watching it through the lens of late '80/early '81 does provide doubt of who would eventually derail Harley Race for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
The last match does cut off mid match.
The old St. Louis stuff is a major piece of wrestling footage that's missing right now and hopefully WWE or AEW or whoever can piece it together and get the rights to it. I'm not holding my breath. Also I'm hoping Billy Corgan actually does something with the Houston Wrestling footage he supposedly has the rights to.
