Who Discovered the Last Battle of Atlanta Footage?
As noted, WWE updated an article on its website profiling the Last Battle of Atlanta, which was added to the WWE Network last week.
The article noted the match footage was actually part of the WCW library when WWE acquired it back in March, 2001. The library was described as arriving in “very unorganized” condition. The match was part of a group of film reels labeled “omni live event”, which sat in the WWE archives until earlier this year. The match was discovered by WWE’s Eric Stefanowicz, Producer and Researcher/Historian for WWE’s Legacy Content team.
