Default Old School WWF Matches on YouTube

Some of these have been up for more than a month. But, they might not last too long since the WWE has a policy of getting these taken down quickly.

Iron Shiek beats Bob Backlund for the WWF title
For me, the result of this match was the most shocking ever.

Bob Backlund defends the WWF title vs. Jimmy Snuka inside a steel cage
This is the first famous match in which Snuka lept off the top of a cage.

Andre the Giant vs. Hulk Hogan at the 1980 Showdown at Shea
Hogan is the heel and shows his first finisher- Hogan's Hammer, a clothesline using a "loaded" elbow pad.

Jimmy Snuka's face turn
One of my favorite moments ever. Snuka became a monster face. If he had better mic skills, he could have had Hulk Hogan's role in McMahon's new WWF.

The Magnificent Muraco on Rogers' Corner (a predecessor to Piper's Pit)
Muraco gets upset when Jimmy Snuka enters the ring. Their big feud begins.

1980(?) heel Hulk Hogan picks a fight with Tony Atlas
Watching Hogan's first heel run is always fun. We even see a (missed) leg drop.


There appears to be a lot of late 70s/early 80s WWF material on You Tube. Please link any great moments you find in this thread.
