I'm not sure what happened with the WCCW episodes, but they have not added any in a while and have stopped at 4/29/83; ECW currently stops at 5/1/95 and current RAWs and Smackdown's only go to February 2014. The perfect scenario has shows like Championship Wrestling, All-Star Wrestling, Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, Primetime, Worldwide, Saturday Night all added before the end of the year, when this thing is supposed to roll out international. Despite all that, this thing is the greatest thing ever, and it hasn't even scratched the surface of what it can be.

    I can tell you that Superstars is dead and buried now due to legal issues over the "Superstars of Wrestling" name, so don't ever expect to see them added. Definitely waiting for some classic WCW to get put up, though.

    Prime Time would cover anything noteworthy that occurred on SuperStars between 1986 and 1993 anyway, so hopefully those do come soon.

    Still crossing fingers for Prime Time.

    Please explain the legalese

    Doesn't that only cover a certain period of the early years of the show and they could still show the later years when they changed the name to just "Superstars"?

    Situations like that usually are.

    I'm sure a small time promoter like this Patterson guy could see the money when something like the Network went live. Hold on to that name as long as you can, because sooner or later they're going to show up with a bag that has a huge dollar sign on it.

    Yup. But that's not until the 90s. There's something like 6 or 7 years in limbo right now.

    I think if they're going to add 80's wwf TV, they'll probably do what they did on the wwe classics website and run episodes of Challenge & switch to Superstars in late 1990 when the show shortened its title to just "Superstars."

    "Top Ten Ladder-Matches", sweet!

    IMO, #1 really SHOULD be Hardys/E&C from "No Mercy, 1999", but it gets eclipsed by the later three-way matches and the big Shawn/Razor one.

    They have used some clips and just blurred over the words of wrestling. So I guess we will see if they get to it. I mean hell they went to the trouble of blurring ever F out of existence at one point. Much to the dismay of Koko B. Ware's butt

    It comes down to how cheap Vince is. Would he be willing to spend a little to get the rights to the words Of Wrestling or say screw it out of spite?

    Not sure why they stopped adding the WCCW. Raws and SDs are probably due to contracts with USA and SyFy not to undercut them by having them available on the network quickly. As far as Superstars and the naming issue the other syndicated shows plus Primetime more than carry all the storylines. heck I was watching Challenge, All-American, Superstars, Championship wrestlng, etc. and seeing the same stuff over and over other than jobber matches (I was kinda insane during the 80s for watching ANYTHING wrestling. I watched any WWF show and with cable back then you got a lot of "super" stations and big UHF stations out of big markets like KTLA out of Los Angeles and WSBK out of Boston for example.) Plenty of WCW shows to add, both syndicated and the weekly TBS shows. They've also got rights to all kinds of odds and ends like SMW, some Florida and Georgia stuff, AWA, and probably a million other things I'm not thinking of right now.

    Makes me wonder if the WCCW/ECW stuff ranks near the bottom of the views on there and they are just thinking, we'll add it when we add it.

    Top 10 craziest ladder matches will be fun though.

    Also was watching Clash 1 last night saw the advertisement for Main Event and thought it would be really nice to watch the builds to the ppvs, maybe one day.
