What jumps out to me is a in his prime Billy Robinson match. Have you ever seen much of his work? I haven’t seen much but what I have from the early 70’s is so much better than other 70’s wrestling. Do you see yourself reviewing that match or have any thoughts about the other matches that weren’t previously on the network?

Thanks​

This is pretty close to the same stuff that’s on the Dusty DVD, but I do find it interesting that they’re moving away from hyping their DVD collections and just putting stuff directly on the Network as standalone collections instead. That’s where I figured it would go. Pretty good set of stuff with a nice cross-section of his work, although really with Dusty you need to be more promo-heavy because in-ring was never his strong point, to say the least.

As for Robinson, I’ve seen a few matches of his from the 70s, and he always impressed me. Seemed like a very ahead-of-his-time worker.​
