shoe Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 The Observer has a good piece about the timetables on adding more content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yeah it gives me hope that we'll get a little bit more diversified content over the next month or two, although Dave seemingly not having much faith in stuff like Mid South or some of the other territories being of priority is a little concerning.

Migs Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 What are we looking at in terms of time tables? Anything on what content is coming besides the Monday Night Wars stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 More ECW and WCCW in September. Nitros in 6 weeks or so. WWE Raw for the Monday night wars. A program called rivalries. They want to add more WCW t.v by the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Why do they think people want WCCW so much? What a weird choice of all the territories. Â I honestly hope we get a bunch of random Canadian stuff to placate them because we're not getting a bunch of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Oh, their rationale for not adding more old stuff is that what is already there isn't really watched very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 For all I, and everyone else, has complained about the lack of weekly TV content, I know for a fact that if they do a big bulk upload of Nitro, Raw and Hardcore TV to the end of 95, I'll probably put down another 6 month commitment. If they're focusing on that period for uploading old stuff, I hope that when the time comes around, they get Thunder and Smackdown up as they come along in the timeline.

Petey Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'd much rather Mid South instead of WCCW and I imagine it's like that for almost everyone. I'm not sure what their logic is behind WCCW aside from it was already on Classics on Demand so some of the work is already done. Â Also, do you really hope that they upload Thunder?

flyonthewall2983 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I hope they get back to putting those up, I know the reason why they stopped was that they weren't getting much attention but I think if you keep putting stuff up it'll attract enough attention. The house shows frankly were a big reason why I subscribed in the first place. Â I'd much rather Mid South instead of WCCW and I imagine it's like that for almost everyone.

PhilTLL Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Â Wasn't it mostly 93 with a few random episodes of other years? I'd love to see episodes from 86 or 87. Â Â Correct. Started around 4/93, if I recall. Â I continue to hope and believe that they'll upload the 1985-88 WCW(SN) episodes that already cleared 24/7, and of course the whole run after that. Same with Worldwide, MACW, etc. Â Â Digitizing the content is likely what is setting them back there, and with regard to their other libraries. Â Â I believe that this is true, it just baffles me that after 10+ years of developing the library and trying to monetize it, they don't have a bunch of this ready to go. I would have hired a whole staff in about 2002 that had no job other than digitizing every single thing in the joint. I know it's 100,000+ hours, but it seems like they'd have more done, at least of the more obviously marketable stuff. Â (I know Mid-South was a late acquisition, though.) Â And I too miss the house shows--it's especially galling that they're withholding quite a few that aired multiple times on 24/7, and some that never did, like the Boot Camp Match. For as often as they've repeat-released things, that match never aired on 24/7 that I recall, and is only on the otherwise-awful, repeat-filled Madison Square Garden DVD.

I don't know if upping the stuff on CoD (whether the video-on-demand version or the web version) makes it easier to up it to The Network, but I'm assuming that's the case.

cowboy hats Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 From this week's schedule: Â Smackdown Flashback - beginning with 8/26/99 and the 'network premiere', it looks like they may be showing Smackdown from the beginning? This is not a 'best of' and other flashbacks are scheduled during the week - 9/1/99, 9/8/99, 9/15/99.Wrestlemania Rewind - Wrestlemania 15, Austin/RockBeyond the Ring - not sure I've seen episodes for Lesnar and Randy Orton before, and they are showing this weekBest of Raw - 6/6/10 - 'This first ever viewers choice episode may be for the fans, but it's the debuting nexus that truly takes over the show.'Best of Smackdown - 7/4/01 - 'Booker T defends the WCW Title against Diamond Dallas Page. Stone Cold Steve Austin has a surprise gift for Kurt Angle and Mr. McMahon.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Except that these have taken the place of the Raw Flashbacks on the schedule, just when they were about to get up to the Monday Night Wars era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
