Eduardo Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Does WWE also have the complete SMW major shows like Bluegrass Brawl '94 or Night of Legends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTLL Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Not *posted* yet, but if you're asking if they possess the tapes, I believe they own the entire SMW library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakkSabbath Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 The quickest way to find out who owns Memphis besides Lawler would be for WWE to just say screw it, put it all up, and see who gets the angriest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Not *posted* yet, but if you're asking if they possess the tapes, I believe they own the entire SMW library. Â Yeah that's what I meant, I didn't phrase it correctly.Thanks. I was wondering how it would work out, since I remember "Night of Legends" having a commercial release (with Dave Meltzer and Jim Cornette commentary, along with the original commentary for the event), and if they owned the other major shows too. I never saw the major shows, except "Night of Legends", but did they have commentary on them or not? I assume they did but just a question.

Loss Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I encourage everyone to watch every classic show on the Network to get some viewing stats going our way. For shows I've seen, I'm just going to let them run, but the only way to get them to post more is if they see that people are watching what's there.

AstroBoy Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm glad they're uploading this stuff but I hope they roll it out in a substantial way. I'm sure they will add more but I hope they don't stop too short of being comprehensive with some of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Not *posted* yet, but if you're asking if they possess the tapes, I believe they own the entire SMW library. Â Hell they have had the Smokey Mountain library for probably 5 or 6 years. Shown about 5 or 6 hours of that library as well. Â I just hope they fill some of the gaps. I mean we are expecting to watch this like RAW or Smackdown but close would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think I'm going to sign back up with all the territory stuff being uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm definitely not giving them money again until they actually show commitment to this stuff. Something is obviously better than nothing but 3 episodes of Mid-South that isn't even close to being in chronological order isn't doing more than making me pay attention to see if they ever fill in the gaps. Which they never did with World Class so I'm not that optimistic. Â The fact that they are uploading a few episodes here and there of so many different territories actually makes me think it's less likely they commit to giving something close to a full run of any of them.

Loss Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 They will base that on the number of views each episode gets, which is why I have it going in another window on my laptop right now while I do other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexstar Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I feel like almost all of this was on Classics on Demand - maybe some sort of editing/conversion project is finishing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Mid South episodes were never on Classics on Demand as best I recall, and neither were the AWA on ESPN shows. The only AWA tv that made it before were studio shows from the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 They just added the 11/28/86 episode of WCCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCS1988 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Actually, they did show a few Mid-South matches on Classics on Demand, but not full episodes. I hope they add more Prime Time, TNT, All American, Wrestling Spotlight, and the original Superstars of Wrestling show than ran from 1984-1986. It would be cool if they upload early 1970's WWWF Championship & All Star Wrestling, so we can see stuff like Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody tagging up in a WWWF ring. The JT Rozzero & the gang piece on the WWE Network adventure will be covering more stuff now and going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexstar Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think I'm definitely confusing the AWA stuff with the episodes that were on ESPN Classics, so yeah, never mind. Â I hope they add a playlist module soon with all this new stuff. Gonna tackle a while to watch it all and would be nice to have an easy way to share things with others.

Blehschmidt Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Holy Shit, they added nearly all of 86 and 87 to the NWA section. Just a few random dates missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man in Blak Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Four more 1987/1988 episodes of AWA, including Rockers/Badd Company and Rockers/Nasty Boys. The current list: Â - 1/25/87 - 1/24/88 - 2/28/88 - 3/13/88 - 4/10/88 Â The gradual "leak" of this content is an interesting approach - are they fishing in social media for interest in specific territories?

sek69 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Wonder what the deal was with Harley Race randomly showing up on the first NWA episode of 1986 scouting Magnum TA and never coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
