A friend is seeking tapes/DVDs of the ABC-TV broadcasts of the NCAA finals from 1964 -- the first year the college wrestling championships were broadcast on "Wide World of Sports" -- up into the mid 1980s.

If anyone has any of these years, please post here, or email me privately and I can put you in touch with the old-school wrestling fan.

Imagine seeing some of the all-time greats from 20-40 years ago in action. I'd especially be interested in seeing the 1970 NCAAs with the all-time stunning upset of Dan Gable at the hands of Larry Owings. (I have videoclips of the match at the Fans of Dan Gable Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FansOfDanGable/

Thanks in advance,

PS Thanks to our own Spider who answered my earlier request for a copy of the 1989 NCAA finals and generously provided a DVD.

Sorry, I didn't have a VCR back then.
