    I'd drop Netflix before the Network.

    I sometimes don't think we (wrestling fans) don't appreciate this wonderful life changing creation enough.

      I appreciated it when, for the first time, I turned on the network and there they were.......Battlebowl, Wargames, Spin the Wheel Make the Deal.

      My biggest complaint still is they havent uploaded any WCW Saturday Nights.

        Yeah I love early 90s WCW, but it's hard to get in to the PPVs and Clashes without the subsequent buildups from the weekly shows

          Adding on to that, I wonder who holds the rights to the WCW/NJPW Supershows? WCW/NWA titles were on the line, so I wonder if WWE owns the rights to the footage.

            I have no idea but my guess is that NJPW and WWE each have 50/50 rights to those.

            And completely agree about the WCW Saturday night stuff.

              I reallly wanna watch the golden era/80s but the syndicated shows still haven't been uploaded which sucks.

              I believe they were part of the WCW library because they uploaded WCW/NJPW show from North Korea to their old on demand service.

                They showed footage of Fujinami with the big gold belt for his HOF video, so I'm thinking WWE must have the rights to it

                  I dont remember that off the top of my head, but was it from Japan or the first Superbrawl?

                    But technically Network is 4 years old. It was coming in 2012, we just never got to see it till 2014.

                      It was from Japan. The clip was in a post match celebration and Flair won the Superbrawl match and took off with the belt right away

                        Ahh okay. Well, they should upload those Supershows too. Never have seen the match between Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader vs. Doom.

                        What made the Flair/Fujinami interesting is that the big gold belt represented both the WCW and NWA title at the time. The NWA Championship was the only one on the line in the Supershow match, so even though Fujinami had the big gold belt Flair still technically had it too since he was still WCW champion.

                          Yeah it was a clever way of doing a title change in Japan while not doing one at the same time

                            I hope they did learn their lesson but they forever deserve to get ****ted on for that. With the hundreds or thousands of people that work for WWE, how was ever that able to go through?

                              They still at least mention NWA and IWGP. AJ Styles was even mentioned by JBL as holding both world titles in his career.

                                I'm all caught up on NXT and am looking to watch some wrestling from when the WWE was a better product. Does anybody have any recommendations to start? A certain RAW in the attitude era? What's your favorite chunk of time?
