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.

      Fun fact: The series premier of Married with Children debuted the night before my first day of kindergarten. I feel hella old.

          I did a rewatch recently and the iconic theme song isn’t in the streaming version. Always threw off the vibe for the first few minutes after the opening.

            I got a copy off a private tracker that someone restored the original theme song to years ago. The soundalike isn’t the worst thing in the world but it’s like Dawsons Creek without Paula Cole…just fuckin’ wrong.

            Edit: I also had the Dawsons Creek copy with the restored audio but it’s not as useful to brag about since they got the rights to the music back on that one 2-4 years ago lol.
