Thank you very much for this!!

[@GumperVanLier]

Love that opening (or intro) music. Very good video and audio quality. Nice upload.

[@mrgmusicclass]

Love that track. So cool that they used it as a thene. They had different version of that song over the years. This is my favorite. Here's the whole thing. It's awesome.

PoFolks is sorely missed....

[@nozoto]

Strange to see a Mark Calaway more nervous, rather than the coldly confident mystic figure we are so used to see. He had his biker style and mannerism like the tongue stick out already down, though.

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Always love seeing Taker in previous gimmicks "he was hot, he was tryin' to cool him off"🤣

[@ronmexico5416]

Jason tripped over Ronnie P, Gossett , 1:20:28, I about fell in the floor, no pun intended....

Dustin doing an impression of his Dad.

[@jax9769]

I remember The Master of Pain and when he was in WCCW wearing a mask.

[@gazgaz5765]

I love wrestling & Horror movies but I had no idea that back in 89 a wrestler dressed as Freddy Kreuger.

[@AldenRDavis]

The late Tommy Gilbert (Eddie Gilbert’s father) was Nightmare Freddy (a gimmick of the main character, Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street series) and Doug Gilbert (Eddie Gilbert’s brother) was Jason the Terrible (a gimmick of the main character, Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th series).

"studio wrestling had its downfalls such as the
fans in the audience being to close to the ring;
Boss Winters started out as a jobber wrestler
and then became a jobber manager of a jobber
tag team Rough n Ready a masked tag team."

[@AldenRDavis]

Rough ‘n’ Ready (formerly the “Dirty Black Boys”) never won any tag team matches.

Taker didn’t have any tattoos then.

[@DateTwoRelate]

Funny watching Dustin Rhodes when he was just doing a pale impersonation of his father both in the ring and on the mic.

1:21:08 how Freddy vs Jason should have ended

[@chrisbridges655]

Who were Rough and Ready?

[@AldenRDavis]

Rough ‘n’ Ready are brothers Larry & Cleo Reeves, they were originally known as the “Dirty Black Boys.” They never won any tag team matches.

[@docthemetalfreak]

you gotta feel bad for a guy with the last name Raper

[@Mistertbones]

Whatever happened to that Master of Pain character.

[@Daavee28]

he retired as the Undertaker

[@Mistertbones]

I know that, I'm just fooling around.

[@Silly81]

Mistertbones He died, and then he came back from the grave as The Dead Man
