I asked my provider about it and they said they would look into it. Muraco was a top heel in his prime and could cut some really good promos. He had a run in Maple Leaf Wrestling for a time even before the WWF Maple Leaf days.

"He was used poorly by that point, especially since he was used as a face. However, he could still cut a good promo and put on a good match when needed.
Muraco in his prime was something else and always considered him the top heel of the territory until he dropped the IC belt in early 1984."
Wish I could have seen those days.

I have 24/7 and they did not offer a Muraco-Backlund match. Which one is it? It's the Backlund-Muraco match from Madison Square Garden on 2/18/83. I just checked and it's definitely still currently offered on WWE 24/7. It is in the Legends section and it says it will be there until February 12. |

I believe you, but I have Massachusetts Comcast and only Fuji Vice and A tag match with Bob Orton versus Snuka and Hogan were offered in that area. The only other Muraco material is his HOF special. Maybe it will be offered next week in this area. |

Maybe it will be offered next week in this area. Apparently WWE 24/7 shows some different things to different parts of the country. Here in Las Vegas, NV where Cox Communications is my cable company, the current Muraco stuff offered is his short documentary that also includes his HOF induction ceremony, an episode of Fuji Vice, the previously-mentioned match against Backlund from MSG in 1983, and a steel cage match against Hulk Hogan from MSG in June of 1985. They'll probably add more Muraco stuff next week since he's February's featured Hall of Famer and it will be interesting to see if they give us different matches once again. I also saw that next month's (March's) featured Hall of Famer on WWE 24/7 is Bret Hart! |

Today, at least here in the Las Vegas area, LOW's Don Muraco had some more matches added to WWE 24/7 because he is this month's featured WWE Hall of Famer.
The matches added were:
the historic steel cage match between Jimmy Snuka and Don Muraco for the Intercontinental Championship from 10/17/83
a tag team match of Jimmy Snuka and Hulk Hogan vs Don Muraco and Cowboy Bob Orton Jr from 5/18/85
Jack Brisco vs Don Muraco from the NWA's Florida territory from 7/25/74

That cage match is still one of my favorites.

The masked man I believe is "The Big Cat" Ernie Ladd .... Some places identify the person as Volkoff, but if you watch the end Volkoff is clearly not the masked man... Definitely Ladd. They show him backstage taking the payoff although Gordon Solie sorta plays it off like it could be someone else, never mentioning him by name but instead saying "I think we all know who that is but I don't want to speculate" The camera clearly shows Ladd's face before they sorta pan down to keep it a bit more mysterious |
