I found this on a disc of Al Tomko’s Vancouver All Star Wrestling tonight. It’s likely clips of one of their last matches against each other before Vachon turned into a face.
As pointed out to me earlier tonight Al Tomko was the main guy in Vancouver and he was vernes Winnipeg promoter for a good while, which explains him having this footage. I do wonder what else he grabbed. It’s well past their primes and it’s short, but it’s a snapshot of a legendary feud that there isn’t much video of. I feel lucky to have found it.

I guess I think of things WWWF style.
Did they have the same cage match in every city 'around the horn'
Ironically, one of the more famous blowoff cage matches in history (Snuka vs Muraco) was not done 'around the horn'
Was just wondering how the AWA did things

They ended December 1976 with a Death Match in Denver as well.
