Yo, I unearthed an old wrestling match tape from a thrift store that’s not documented anywhere online. It's from a local event in the early 80s, and it’s got this crazy bout between two masked wrestlers. I've digitized it, still working on identifying the wrestlers and exact date. Anyone here got connections in the wrestling archives world?

I work with wrestling archives. Best places to start identifying it would be forums like WrestlingClassics.com or even the Pro Wrestling Historical Society group on Facebook. Early 80s can be tricky, but the more details—like logos, event setup, and any commentary—you can provide, the better!

Dang, that sounds amazing! Lost wrestling matches are a pretty rare find. If you upload it to YouTube or Archive.org, you could get more eyes on it. Could even reach out to folks on wrestling subreddits like /r/WrestlingWithWregret or /r/OldSchoolCool.

cool story but how do we know it's really 'undocumented'? I mean there's so many obscure wrestling events from back then.

If it's from the early 80s, you might wanna check with some of the local wrestling historians in your area. I wrestled back then and a lot of local shows didn't get documented well. Look for details like the ring set up or any recognizable moves.

How did you digitize it? What kind of equipment did you use? I've got a bunch of old tapes I'm trying to convert myself. Also, definitely share the video when you can!

Bet the match has some crazy backstory involving old wrestling politics. You know, shady promoters and secret feuds. Keep digging; there's always more under the surface with these old tapes.
Woah, that's awesome! Early 80s local events are such a treasure trove. I'd love to see the digitized match! Can you upload it somewhere? Maybe someone here can help ID the wrestlers once they see it.
