WWE Network isn’t putting out just one Hidden Gem this week — there will be more matches and content over the next twelve days.
WWE has announced that they will be uploading a new Hidden Gem to the Vault section of the WWE Network every day through Christmas. The video featured on their site showed footage from various promotions including ECW, Smoky Mountain, NWA, AWA and WWE themselves.
Today’s upload is the Big Time Wrestling/WCCW Christmas Star Wars card from December 25, 1981. This isn’t the complete show, as three matches are missing. But the matches featured include:
Ernie Ladd vs. Jose Lothario for the World Brass Knuckles title
El Solitario vs. Tim Brooks
Fritz von Erich vs. The Great Kabuki in a Texas Death match
Kerry, Kevin & David von Erich vs. Frank Dusek, Bill Irwin and Ten Gu
A battle royal featuring two rings
According to WWE Network News, tomorrow’s upload will also be from Christmas 1981, this time featuring an AWA tag team match with Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell teaming up to take on Jerry Blackwell and Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie.
