Everything I've ordered from The Greek's list

I had been meaning to do this for a long time and now I'm doing it. Just so everyone is on the same page when they are looking at the list, this is everything that I have ordered or tried to order from The Greek's list. There have been some tapes he found that didn't work and some tapes he couldn't find at all so if you're looking at something and saying "Hey you never uploaded that!" that would be why. Ignore the numbers in parenthesis, that's how I send him the orders to estimate how many d...

An update on things - I am killing the $10 tier

I am killing the $10 tier. This doesn't mean that I am not going to buy any more DVDs, it just means I feel bad about how I haven't been able to work on anything new for months and I don't want to feel like I am ripping anyone off. I've spent the last ~6 months cleaning out my grandma's old house and getting it ready to sell which is why I haven't been active. (Don't fill your house up with stuff and then leave it for your family members to clean when you die)

I've finally got that all ...

An upload and an update!

I just uploaded three episodes (5 hours) of Peachstate Wrestling Wrestle-A-Rama. For some reason this was a full 2 hour show so strap in for lots of Ronnie P Gossett. I didn't have a chance to watch it in full yet but there's a Russian Chain match between Ivan and Nikita Koloff in here that Ivan cared enough about to blade for at 48 years old in 1990 so I would imagine at least one of them was putti...

The Bullet returns, George Cannon wrestles, The Valiants talk and Bobby Heenan forgets to shave

Couldn't quite get this one done over the weekend but I'm not trying to pretend this is a July upload or anything.

 The biggest item in this batch is an assortment of clips & a few (mostly) full episodes of George Cannon's Superstars of Wrestling. The clips that are in really good quality come from the old Beta Classics set that I'm working on while the other stuff is from The Greek. ...

Al Tomko's dancing ladies, a stolen dog, green mist, a bear and ~THE BULLET~

So this isn't the big double upload that I mentioned wanting to do in the last post but it's what I have ready now. I will be making another upload Friday/Saturday. Thanks for sticking with me while I couldn't upload, I don't want anyone to think I take their $10 a month for granted.

First up I've got the rest of the Vancouver All Star Wrestling that I have been posting. I have six standalone...

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I have things to upload, the lack of updates is not related to a lack of footage, I just haven't been able to get anything done. I don't want to go into it, just family and health related stuff that has taken up a lot of my time. I'm hoping to get a Patreon upload done over the next 7 days and I'll try and make it double sized so it can just be one big batch for June. The big time eater is sitting down and making the listings so if I absolutely have to I will just do the next batch without li...

I'm too old for an all nighter - The Deadline Edition

I don't want anyone to feel like they did not get their $10 worth this month so I am dropping this upload now even though I will not be able to put up the listings until tomorrow/possibly Sunday for all of it. Bad things happen if I hyperfocus so I'm not going to put the pressure on myself to do all the listings tonight and make this upload perfect, even though I wish it was because I appreciate everyone's support.

What do you want me to upload next?

I'm working on the next batch of $10 tier Patreon exclusive uploads, but outside of that I would like to know what you would rather see me spend my time on. Someone generously granted my "I would love to have more lucha magazines" wish with ~1,000 pdfs and I could easily fall down a rabbit hole on renaming/organizing/uploading all of those files but if I do that, it's going to take longer for me to finish working on 1981 Georgia TV.

The 1981 Georgia TV project is taking a little...

Adding some new features

Just a small post to let everyone know I've started my Discord back up again and am going to try and keep a stream running with videos from the Drive when convenient for me. I will have one running more often if I can figure out how to mute VLC player on my end but keep the audio on for the stream. https://discord.gg/75gEYbpk

Inspired by comments in the Discord that the stream solves the problem of choice paralysis, I'...

Joe Pedicino, puppets, midgets & Hillbillies - a Patreon update from every corner of North America

Still waiting on the next box of DVDs from The Greek but I still have a variety of stuff to upload while we're waiting.

First up: four episodes of Pro Wrestling 90/Pro Wrestling 91 from Georgia hosted by Joe Pedicino including your Global faves like Bonnie Blackstone and Scott Hudson and the Atlanta exclusive Samuel F Kent. If only Sam's puppet had been revealed as the mastermind behind The Ca...

Fish and Chips (yes, you're at the right Patreon)

These are words that I am writing to avoid the preview so that you can't see what the upload is unless you sign up and give me money.   - I may be making this the standard opening now for reasons.

I decided to do this upload a little differently, in the style of the Fish and Chips patreon (2024-04-23 02:14:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Montreal Monday - The leftovers edition

These are words that I am writing to avoid the preview so that you can't see what the upload is unless you sign up and give me money.   - I may be making this the standard opening now for reasons.

First things first, sorry for the lack of uploads. I tried to get caught up on all the OVW episodes I needed to make listings for over WrestleMania weekend and did like 100 episodes but t...

The Legend of Doom! Who doesn't love a good knock off wrestler?

Uploaded to Patreon + Donations/1995 Reslo

So this is a fun little mixed bag. Three of these episodes seem to have come from the same Reslo specific TV taping featuring guys like the former PN News, The Legend of Doom (one of my favorite knock offs ever) and Ulf Hermann and the other two episodes are matches from Otto Wanz' CWA promotion. The Reslo specific stuff looks fun and the CWA matches are pr...

Dino Bravo, Rick Martel, Mad Dog Lefebvre - that can only mean another Montreal Monday!

The matches from 1984 all come from one of the JWE (that must be some old tape trader's initials, don't know who though) discs that I got recently. That disc is basically all TV squashes with everything else cut out. Kind of like a sandwich that's just two pieces of bread imo but that's what was on the tape so that's we have 40 years later. There were also some Vancouver squash matches on that disc ...

Plugging my recent guest appearance on Shut Up and Wrestle

So like the title says, I am just posting this to plug my recent appearance on Brian Soloman's 'Shut up and Wrestle' podcast: https://suawpod.com/2024/03/27/episode-113-kris-p-lettuce/

Also thanks and welcome to the new subscribers over the past few days who I am assuming found me from SUAW. Don't be afraid to send me a message with any questions you have (unless they are about how to get ...

Uploaded to 1985 ICW (Savoldi) - 1985.01.26 & 1985.02.02

What elevates this from the regular Google Drive (which is where I've put all the other ICW) to a Patreon upload is that this i...

Montreal Monday returns for more Le Brunch a Mad Dog

The one upload in here that isn't an individual match came from the most recent batch of DVDs I got from The Greek and it somehow wound up in the wrong folder. Some fun stuff on the WWF version of Montreal TV but don't go into that one expecting to see any actual wrestling matches. The rest of this upload comes from some DVDs I got years ago in a trade that I don't think I ever did anything with (ot...

Sometimes I find wrestling and sometimes it finds me

Uploaded to Patreon + Donations/1990-1992 territory start ups/1990 Southeastern

If you've been following me for a long time you know I've been running into this promotion for years. I originally found out about them ~10 years ago when I was trading for a DVD that was only labeled 'Southeastern' and instead of Charlie Platt and Bob Armstrong I got Ebony Austin getting a watermelon broken...

Toru Tanaka, Wild Bull Curry and I actually found the program for this random ass show

Uploaded to Random indie shows as 1983.07.14 International Wrestling Promotions

Considering that Killer Kowalski is noted in the program as being a referee on the card, I assume he was also the promoter. This aired on TV, I assume on an early cable station but with all the commercials cut out it's hard to s...

More 1990 IPW - this time featuring Nitron!

Uploaded to Patreon + Donations/1990-1992 territory startups/1990 IPW

When I first started looking at this DVD I thought "Huh, I didn't know Nitron was trained by Bill Ash" so I looked it up and he WASN'T. So how the heck did he wind up here when he's basically the only wrestler on this show that wasn't part of Bill Ash's school? A question I'll never get the answer to. Since I did the space u...

A small break until the new year

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not planning on uploading anything until the start of the new year. I've always just kind of worked on wrestling footage as I felt like it and frequently took long breaks but since the Patreon really started picking up, I haven't really felt comfortable not working on wrestling footage at all for more than a couple days. This has left me in a spot where I'm feeling kind of burnt out on looking at wrestling solely to edit it and make listings. I have t...

Tommy Dreamer in suspenders! Manny Fernandez wrestles twice! Greg Valentine takes on Nikolai Volkoff! It's a 1993 handheld of an IWCCW show!

Uploaded to the random indie shows folder as 1993.10.15 IWCCW - Trenton, NJ

As far as mid-90s handhelds go the VQ on this is probably in the top 10%.

Manny Fernandez vs Ray Odyssey

Primo Carnera III vs The Terminator

Hurricane Smith! Frank 'The Tank' Melson! A 1990 Little Tokyo match! It's time for more Windy City Wrestling!

Uploaded to the Windy City Wrestling subfolder as 1990.06.15, 1990.06.23, 1990.06.30

First off, sorry for the lack of uploads last week. I had the week from hell at work and was too exhausted to do anything useful in the evenings. But I'm back and it's time to finish off (I think) the rest of the Windy City Wrestling that I got in my last order! This set of uploads features a battle royal, a L...

The Nordeast Wrestling Association - I'll be honest, I don't know what this is!

Uploaded to the Patreon folder as NEWA - The strangest thing in my collection

So this was at the end of the tape that had the 'Nite of Wrestling' show from Ohio on it, as you can see by them sharing the same wonderful video quality. The thing is...I don't know what this is! It's some kind of comedy/parody of wrestling but I don't know any details. There is clearly some kind of AWA involvement ...

1991 New England Wrestling Federation - very late Abby vs The Sheik & very early RVD vs Sabu!

This is a little strange as this is very much your standard shitty handheld but someone also put a few graphics over it and did a music video of highlights at the end. My guess is that Karl Von Steiger was the promoter considering he's in the main event and if he'd been wrestling from 87-91 it wasn't anywhere big enough to make Cagematch. I also uploaded 2001.05.20 NJPW Super Juniors Night 3 yesterd...

1995 World of Wrestling! Koji Kanemoto & Hayabusa matches you won't find on Cagematch!

Four episodes uploaded to the 1995 World of Wrestling subfolder

So this one surprised me a few different ways. First off, I was rather surprised to find matches from Hayabusa & Koji Kanemoto from the U.S. (both wrestling Cuban Assassin Fidel Sierra) that were not on Cagematch on the first episode. The last episode also has a pretty cool find as it's purported to be the last episode of wres...

Nothing lasts forever - we say goodbye to Ozark Mountain Wrestling

Uploaded to the 1995 Ozark Mountain Wrestling folder as 

1995.11.25, 1995.12.02 & 1995.12.09

Sadly these are the last three episodes that I have of Ozark Mountain Wrestling. I know that the promotion kept going well into 1996 before Bert packed up and moved his base of operations to Nashville but I don't have any of that TV. I'll try to do some digging in the TV tapes pages of T...

A Nite of Pro-Wrestling from Akron, Ohio (1986)

Uploaded to the Random indie shows folder as 1986 - A Nite of Wrestling in Akron, Ohio

I don't know anything about this one and couldn't find anything via Google search and no results on Cagematch or Wrestlingdata. The only reason I know the date is because it's shown after the credits along with the information that this comes from Viacom Cablevision of Cleveland, Ohio. I would *LOVE* to know...

Triple Upload Tuesday!

Uploaded as 1990s territory startups/Chicago Championship Wrestling

Got a little behind on Patreon uploads so I'm trying to get caught up with a triple upload today. First up it's two episodes of Chicago Championship Wrestling from 1990! We get our favorite Tony 'The Razor' DeVito hosting the show and all the CCW stars like Clyde and Max Dencity!

2001 Best of the Super Juniors!

This falls outside my usual wheelhouse but it was a special request and I was told that footage of the 2001 Super Juniors is not available to be found on the online. This is the first of four full shows that I will be uploading (Nights 3, 5 & 7 are future uploads)
