Just a heads up to wrestling fans - WWE is supposed to be uploading one of the White Whales of Lost Media to its Network service today: Buzz Sawyer v. Tommy Rich in the Last Battle of Atlanta.
This one was hyped pretty well on Georgia Championship Wrestling and covered well in the magazines. It's relatively unknown why footage hasn't come forward sooner but also why anyone would have the footage as not all untelevised events (especially for Georgia Championship Wrestling) were taped.
Some are bracing for the worst, i.e. a 90 set of clips and stills while others are more optimistic. It is supposed to be uploaded today - fingers crossed!

Well, for those interested, this can be moved to "Found". WWE posted it in its entirety in about as pristine of footage as you'll find from 1983. Still unknown where along the way or whom they got it from...
