1. WWE Reveals How They Found The Last Battle of Atlanta
The Last Battle of Atlanta can now be seen on the WWE Network. WWE revealed in a recent article how they found this rare match. Below is what they posted:
[/showhide]In 2001, WWE purchased longtime competitor WCW and its video library. WWE’s video team admitted to WWE.com that WCW’s library arrived in “very unorganized” condition. “But that’s part of the fun,” they said. “It’s a tedious process to transfer and log all this footage, but we’re able to unearth some real gems.”
Gems like The Last Battle of Atlanta.
In 2016, a group of reels from the WCW library, simply labeled “Omni Live Events” were digitally transferred and logged. During the process, Eric Stefanowicz, Producer and Researcher/Historian for WWE’s Legacy Content team, discovered what many have referred to as the holy grail of wrestling video: The Last Battle of Atlanta. The video was in pristine condition. No restoration was required before it was uploaded to WWE Network, fulfilling the dreams of a generation of fans.
Now that everyone — from those who were there on that fateful October night in 1983 to fans who grew up on the Hell in a Cell Matches it inspired — can finally see just how Rich and Sawyer changed the wrestling industry.
