Nitro episodes are going up starting this fall. It will probably be like they're doing with RAWs, starting at the beginning, and adding them as they go. They have the first 123 episodes of RAW up so far, from early '93 to summer '95.
There's a few reasons they can't blow their load on these things all at once. It costs money to digitize everything and edit out copyrighted music. And from a marketing perspective, you always want to be adding new things. You never know what will be the hook to bring someone in or keep someone. If everything's available off the bat, it's pretty much immediately stale.
I'm loving the network. I'm going through the SNMEs right now. There's so much stuff on there that I'd love to watch that I'll never have time to get around to, so I'm pretty content with the amount of content, and am looking forward to something new to jump into every few months.
Edit: Though the gaps in the ECW and WCCW stuff are weird. I wonder if they own everything, or if some original tapes have been damaged or lost. There's some stretches where there's a bunch of episodes in a row, but then there's things missing. Some of the early ECW stuff, especially, might be a little sketchy in terms of ownership.
