NEW COMP BY ME: Great American Bash 1987 Deluxe Edition
I have always wanted to put together a set like this because we have Bash footage from so many sources -- commercial releases, handhelds, a clip from Pro Wrestling This Week, and television from the NWA, UWF, and CWF. I've compiled it all in one place. Please note that there are some complete shows available on handheld but I just included the top matches here in the spirit of this being a compilation.
I have always been intrigued by the 1987 Bash. It was my favorite video rental as a kid, transporting me to a time and place that seemed not of this world with the above amazing introduction.
