The hits keep coming with the Hidden Gems category. WWE Network News has received exclusive information on tomorrow’s gem and this time we’re set to be treated to a full, 48-minute TV episode. To be precise, the 07/14/1984 episode of World Championship Wrestling is set to land on the WWE Network tomorrow! Yes indeed, this is the show that is infamously known as “Black Saturday”, the moment where many pro wrestling fans were horrified to learn that Vince McMahon’s WWF had taken over the regular slot of Georgia Championship Wrestling. Viewer outrage helped lead to the WWF being quickly ousted and McMahon is believed to have used the compensation to fund the first WrestleMania. In essence, this episode “helped” to launch the sports entertainment juggernaut that we all know today. With tomorrow being very close to the 34th anniversary, the timing for the upload is rather perfect.

Obviously, many episodes of World Championship Wrestling are already available on the WWE Network, but the episodes go no further back in the Vault than November 1985. This episode appearing in Hidden Gems doesn’t mean that WWE won’t do a regular upload batch of the show’s 1984 in the future. Gems have surfaced as full shows in the past. This just allows for certain important, highly requested episodes to be made available while still sticking to the planned uploads.

Finally, here is both the title and official description for tomorrow’s hidden gem:

WCW 1984/07/14 – Black Saturday The fans of WCW are in for a surprise of epic proportions when Vince McMahon interrupts their regularly scheduled programming.
