With regards to recent uploads from 94 and 95, what's been the holdup?

[The Thread Killer]

All those ECW Supershows from 1994 they promised were added to the Network on Monday morning, they just haven't been added to the Hidden Gems or ECW PPV menus.  You have to search for the specific event by name, and then it will show up.  I am hoping they get added to the menu later on, but they have been pretty lax in added stuff to the Hidden Gems menu for a while now.  If you don't know what match or specific event you are looking for, it is really hard to find.

I found them listed under ppvs on my Roku. I’m watching the Night the Line Was Crossed right now.

They are listed under the ECW PPV section when I access the Network on my phone.

Yeah they showed up when I accessed the Network on my PC today.  They weren't there when I looked Monday, but they are now.

I gave up watching The Night the Line was Crossed, despite this seeming cool 25 years ago you realize it’s really really shit.

The main event or the whole card?

[Herodes]

I endured the main event on a shitty vhs in 1994 and gave up after 10 mins. But the rest of the card is awful too.

The post match promos are choice though.

The undercard really is pretty bad. It's interesting if you're a fan of the workers and promotion and looking for a bit of nostalgia. I wouldn't recommend it otherwise for anyone except someone curious about Joey Styles' early announcing style, or someone who can't believe Sandman wore trunks, or that the Original Sheik wrestled in the ECW Arena.

The main event is probably polarizing. It was well received at the time by the crowd, but it's not great and it's maybe not even good. I was entertained enough but there are clear, glaring flaws. It's the kind of match where if someone asked me what ECW was about in 1994, I would show it to them. Warts and all, it's a good snapshot of the promotion.

At the very least, the post-match promo is an all-time great Terry Funk moment to me, and a personal all-time Top 10 ECW moments to me.

Hardcore Heaven ‘94 still has the RFVideo.com bumper at the end 

The end of Funk/Cactus with fans burying the Public Enemy with chairs is every bit as batshit crazy in retrospect.

So I guess that means they don't have the master.

That and the fact that the video quality on the Three Way Dance looks like an RF dub.
