BRUCE PRICHARD: WWE’s quest for territory libraries

Bruce explains why some territory libraries were worth fighting for

[@99somerville]

Building up a tape library is important but if it is stuff that will only appeal to a very small group, why bother? I'm guessing a lot of owners were basing their values on the value placed on the WCW material.

[@seereadnhear]

So the question is did they buy the Florida library? All of Eddie Graham's history.

[@danpoutsma1351]

They bought the Florida library in 2005 for the Dusty Rhodes DVD

@@danpoutsma1351 Mike Graham (when he was still living) had leased that WWE release , He broadcast it down here on Tampa stations and hosted it with Randy Savage.

@@seereadnhear I said 2005 but it was actually 2006 when Graham sold the library to them. He released some DVDs and other stuff (I still have one), but that was a few years earlier like the stuff with he and Savage.

what as the point of buying the video libraries if they were NOT going to show 'everything' (I dont mean everything) but there is still ALOT not seen. And I know its available. Ive seen clips from NWA Great American Bash 1986 tour that (full shows) have YET to be seen on WWE Network. Case in point the GAB 7/26 Greensboro film from first to last was released. But Ive seen clips from 7/1 Philadelphia Veterans Stadium (yet full show not seen yet)

It's embarrassing that I have to give a random person online money every month in order to watch 1981 GCW or 1979 AWA because WWE just randomly decided to never release the videos despite owning it all. As I get closer to death I just can't believe a company would do this

[@easter_sunday]

Honestly I'd like to see WWE acquire this footage because they have the funding to do digital and audio restoration on these clips.

[@manzi71]

Really wish they bought the Southwest Wrestling video library.

Okay 👌 so I'm normally with you Bruce on things like this 😎but shouldn't have someone, anyone at WWE say, hey JBL I don't care what you do for heat but definitely don't do anything Nazi affiliated 😎 this is like common knowledge, you don't do anything like that in Germany 😎they arrested Roger Waters for the same kinda thing recently 😎 you just don't do that in Germany 😎

Nuh uh. Your comment is suspicious at best and off topic at the least. Bruce and Conrad are discussing territory footage.
