Report: WWE Purchases Classic Mid-Atlantic Library

WWE has reportedly made a deal to purchase a vintage Mid-Atlantic Wrestling library. This material was shot in Virginia at ringside next to the ring announcer from Jim Crockett Promotions events. The footage was filmed by George Pantas. Unlike previous Mid-Atlantic material that was purchased as part of the WCW library in 2001, the Pantas footage was filmed on Super 8 cameras and was owned by Pantas.

Pantas revealed the news in a column for Norfolk Navy Flagship. The footage was also used for a Michael Elliott documentary on Jim Crockett Promotions entitled The Good Old Days, which is currently available on Highspots.com.

According to sources, the purchase was done about two months ago. The footage includes what is possibly the only complete match on film of Ric Flair vs. Buddy Rogers.

We also recently reported that Jerry Lawler has straightened things out in regards to the ownership of the Memphis Wrestling video library. Word is that once everything is set that Lawler is looking to sell it to WWE.
