I’ll paste the /r/lostmedia comment:

One of the most infamous “lost” wrestling matches of all time was the celebrity encounter between 70s heartthrobs “Peter Brady” Christopher Knight and “Danny Partridge” Danny Bonaduce as a special unaired treat for the live crowd prior to the pay-per-view broadcast of WCW Spring Stampede 1994.

On a night headlined by the legendary rivalry of Ric Flair vs Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, a show that would go on to be considered one of the all time great wrestling pay-per-views has always had this asterisk in the live results of an odd celebrity match at a time that they were particularly uncommon. Legend has it that it was a marketing stunt to promote a local Chicago radio show, here what appears to be a fan recording of the match gives us something even the most diehard of lost wrestling media collectors thought they’d never see.

Behold, Bonaduce vs Knight

Also given the current year: if you’re reading this thread and remember Danny Bonaduce or Christopher Knight - Grab an advil or two for your back.

Create post

This is the “official” Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it’s there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It’s ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, ‘creep shot’, or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo’s wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren’t.

6. Banned Source(s).

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

  • WrestleVotes
  • RingSideNews
  • Brad Shepard
  • Billi Bhatti and “The Dirty Sheets”
  • Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.
