Speaking of, I wonder what the rights would be for rips of those DVDs Bill's ex was selling before she sold them to WWE. I see rips of other wrestling DVDs out that seem to survive the banhammer, but that might be more luck than any legal standing.

I don't think the Rock 'n Rolls got there until '83, but Rude was around as a job guy before that.

 

So in this case I guess the reason for uploading these is "just because." I'm all for it!

Yeah, I just didn't want to be too optimistic!

Whole bunch more right here if you want to be more optimistic about something right here and now:

Oh, I'm aware. I just would like more stuff like this on the Network, obviously.

Niiiiiice.

 

I have some 1983 Mid-South (and other NWA footage) acquired online, and it's really poor VQ. I can't wait to watch this good stuff - I sampled the oldest ep they had the other day - 1981, I think - and it was gorgeous video.

 

Next, please: Georgia and Mid-Atlantic. They used to put that stuff on the 24/7 TV channel.

 

 

ETA: Just counted. 51 eps of Mid-South online at this moment.

So I guess it really was the plan to start adding vault stuff after they filled out the "top three" brands. I would hope the Mid Atlantic stuff is next since there was a pretty full run made available on 24/7. IIRC the Georgia stuff they own looks pretty rough so I wouldn't be surprised if they pass on adding that unless they found better quality in whatever stash they found the Last Battle of Atlanta in.

Rough picture quality wise ? Or just bits missing and not complete. Several of the wcw nitros and ppvs have a message at the start about it being "Shown in the most complete form possible"

 

I did hear that when wwe got the wcw stuff (which included everything had been assumed by wcw when it bought JCP), that it was supposed to be a mess. Some of it wasn't labeled correctly or at all.

The video of the Georgia stuff was like 27th generation VHS quality. Some of the WCCW stuff had some occasional video warps (probably from being stored in less than ideal conditions in the Texas heat I'd imagine), but the Georgia stuff was just poor from start to finish. I remember people talking at the time half joking that it looked like they ripped it off YouTube.

That is how Kevin Kelly described how it arrived, in boxes.

Well, then, more SMW. (though that's pretty easily available in nice quality) But maybe they don't like the way Cornette talks about them.

 

WCWSN 1991-92 would work, too. Oh, and where the heck is Championship/Superstars, especially 1983-85? Maybe that's coming once the Raw/SD is complete.

 

Not being ungrateful. Just wish-listing.

Kevin Kelly ? Ok that's probably where I heard it. Jim cornette has said he saved a load of tapes when ted turner bought JCP that were going to be thrown out.

Does anyone have any idea why the Jake Roberts documentary that they produced is not on the Network yet?

There's a lot of older docs that arent on there: Hulk Still Rules, The Stone Cold Truth, The Four Horsemen, Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story, McMahon, etc. Also, they recently uploaded the Scott Hall doc, but i've heard it's an edited version and doesnt contain the full documentary from the dvd. Can anyone confirm that?
