 Welcome to a new series called Lost Classics. This             will be a look at matches that are generally unknown or forgotten about,             the matches that weren't released commercially and haven't been spread             around the Internet for thousands to watch and rate. Instead of entire             events these will just be individual matches, and to help flesh it out             I will include more information then I do in my reviews. The column             will also be more stylistic, since it will only be one match instead             of a full card, and I won't give a "rating" to the match as             it is more a commentary of the unknown rather then a review.
