Me too, for me that was the only way to check out some old wrestling in the days before YouTube, torrent sites and Classics On Demand. I had a friend in Arizona who I regularly swapped tapes with until 2003. He would give me tapes of WCW Worldwide/Power Hour/Main Event/Pro. In exchange, I would record UPW [generally okay], XPW [20 levels of atrocious] and NWA Wildside [shockingly quite good] off of the America One network [Does anyone remember that channel? Surprisingly, it still exists to this day, although I don't think they show any wrestling anymore]. It was quite fun putting those tapes together since I had 2 TVs just inches apart from each other, I would record the shows every Saturday with 1 TV while watching Relic Hunter and Mutant X on the other TV.
Need to check that master tape(s) from October of '91 - Dayton, Ohio - I want to know if the first ever Flair-Hogan match was captured. I don't care if it's a camera way up in the corner of the Nutter Center.
