There’s no denying that the Hidden Gems section can be hit or miss from week-to-week depending on your tastes. When something has the potential to pluck from over 60 years of history, that is pretty much inevitable. However, there’s also no denying that this weekly foray into the depths of a near-bottomless video library has brought us things that we never imagined we’d see.

When it comes to the single gem (as far as we know so far) that’s set to be uploaded tomorrow, that sentiment can be taken quite literally as most fans will not even have known it existed in the first place. Planned for addition tomorrow is a “pilot” for the ill-fated Team Challenge Series from 1989. While most know this as a poorly received yet unique concept that carried the AWA through its death throes, the 39-minute video we’re talking about here is apparently (according to WWE’s own official description) something that was originally planned for home video but had its release canceled. Here is WWE’s synopsis:

10/23/1989 – AWA Team Challenge Series [Duration: 39 minutes] Witness this unreleased home video pilot from the dying days of the AWA, as they unleash the infamous team challenge series.

It’s unknown at this time if this “pilot” is merely a hodgepodge of footage that eventually aired on TV or a truly original “episode” that was taped especially for home video as the above wording suggests. We’ll all find out tomorrow (usually around 10 AM ET) when this curious gem lands on the WWE Network.
