Some huge news if you are a fan of rare footage! I have been trying for years to get my hands on some extremely rare footage - that NOBODY has. I was aware of it's existence and after a long time of corresponding with the UNC College Library in North Carolina I was able to obtain it. It's footage from a WCW house show in Greensboro on April 6, 1991 that was shot by a public access crew from the college. Today I was finally able to get my hands on it. Unfortunately, it's edited to about 27 minutes long and only 2 matchups shown (and even they are incomplete). But the matchups shown are cool ones (Sid Vicious vs Ricky Morton and Sting/Pillman vs Barry/Arn - along with some additional footage). This will be my biggest contribution to the rare footage community since the time I was the one to unleash the NWA basketball game years ago where Dusty went viral. Haha.

N'Boa! Japanese kids, including me, were thrilled in the early 1970s by children's pro-wrestling encyclopedias, fueling our imagination about suspicious-looking wrestlers from all over the world we had never laid eyes on.

The Strange World of N’Boa:
Bob Elandon (a.k.a. N’Boa the Snakeman / M'Boaba) putting a live snake right into his mouth will never not freak me out. 😬 Imagine being in the crowd back then in the 1960s in Europe and seeing this live. Elandon was one heck of a character.

『国際プロレス活動末期』 81年5月は国際プロレス活動末期。ウォリアーズのマネージャーとしてのイメージが強いポールエラリングがエース格で初来日。他の外国人レスラーを見てもIWAワールドシリーズとは段違い。活躍末期ということもあり、ブッキングの厳しさがポスターからも伝わって来ますね。

On the 8/4/84 episode of Championship Wrestling from Florida Ric Flair faced off with Scott McGhee and Flair thought he had it in the bag....well the spunky McGhee had different thoughts Scott was just a midcard guy in CWF at this time but this put him on the map

These are hand carved and were gifted to my dad by artist, Bob McCann. What a talent! Pictures do not do these things justice or show their true size or beauty.

Finally got around to reading this 2010 Spanish book in full (had only read bits of it before). It's a biography of Jesús Chausson, who was one of the top stars in Spanish pro wrestling history. It's a bit too results-heavy for my taste, but definitely a good book overall.
