Not *posted* yet, but if you're asking if they possess the tapes, I believe they own the entire SMW library.

 

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.

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.

 

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

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.

 

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.

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.

Four more 1987/1988 episodes of AWA, including Rockers/Badd Company and Rockers/Nasty Boys. The current list:

 

- 1/25/87

- 1/24/88

- 2/28/88

- 3/13/88

- 4/10/88

 

The gradual "leak" of this content is an interesting approach - are they fishing in social media for interest in specific territories?
