As part of its "Twelve Days of Hidden Gems" pre-Christmas rollout, WWE Network has now added the rarely-seen
1981 Christmas Star Wars Show! The 70-minute video includes:
- Ernie Ladd vs Jose Lothario for the Texas Brass Knuckles title
- El Solitario vs Killer Brooks for the World Light-Heavyweight championship
- Fritz Von Erich vs The Great Kabuki in a Texas Death Match
- Kevin, David & Kerry Von Erich vs Frank Dusek, Wild Bill Irwin & Ten Gu in a two-ring tag match (previously available on DVD as part of WWE's Most Powerful Families in Wrestling set)
- A two-ring battle royal (announced as a 16-man event, although there are only 14 actual participants!)
Three preliminary matches are missing from the show (and may not have been taped): El Negro Assassin vs Richard Blood; Al Madril & Blue Demon vs Arman Hussein & Carlos Zapata; and Little Tokyo vs Tiny Tom. (BTW, just to warn everyone who wants to avoid spoilers, we've updated this card's listing in our Results section.) As with the
first-ever Reunion Arena Star Wars card, don't expect the same production values as the later syndicated series; like that show, this one is also shot with only one camera.
As always, we'll provide further updates if and when more World Class content is added to the Network; you can also get the latest info at
WWE Network News.
