TAPE 80

Quality: VG

Length: 111 min (DVD)

WWF PHILLY SPECTRUM - 3/17/85 (This is one of THREE house shows that the WWF ran on this date in the run-up to the first Wrestlemania. Oddly, they give away two matches from Wrestlemania here. Also, this show drew poorly, only drawing 8000 to an arena that holds more than double that. Quality is VG, almost VG/EX, easy to watch.)
Rocky Johnson vs Moondog Spot Tito Santana vs Mr. X (Not sure who "X" is. Santana gets booed!) Don Muraco vs The Cobra (What a weird match-up. This ends up going about 11 minutes in a very competitive match. Good stuff from a couple of excellent workers.) King Kong Bundy vs Swede Hanson Roddy Piper vs Jimmy Snuka (and you thought their singles matches had ended in 1984!) Ricky Steamboat vs Matt Borne Greg Valentine vs Junkyard Dog (the Wrestlemania finished ended up playing off this match as Valentine pins JYD here with his feet on the ropes; unlike WM, however, the win stands) Bruno & David Sammartino vs Paul Orndorff & Bobby Heenan (Lumberjack) NOTE: There is also a GD quality handheld of the 5/21/88 WWF show on this DVD.
