The 2002 Royal Rumble was really when they started changing entrance music on the VHS/DVD releases. Refresh my memory, what was changed on that DVD? I remember that being the first DVD where Rollin was dubbed out, could be wrong though.

On the Nov. 23, 1985 Mid-South Wrestling, the final segment of the show is missing a music video of weapons being used in Mid-South matches, along with an intro to the video from Bill Watts. In that missing intro, Watts pointed out that the WWF used "gimmicked wooden chairs."

Maven's theme is still replaced though. Maven's theme was intact on the DVD. I don't think they ever replaced it on anything until the Network.

On the February 1989 Main Event episode on the part about 33 minutes into it where Randy Savage hits Hulk Hogan in the head with the belt. For some reason the network version shows a different camera angle than the original broadcast. The 2/13/89 Prime Time Wrestling shows the correct camera angle.

They just completely removed that part (and you can tell because Savage moved the title belt from one hand to the other in the part that's missing). Savage hitting Hogan with the belt is shown on TME with a cut to a different angle right before it happens. The replay on Prime Time is one continuous shot.

I wonder why they use the different angle as I have the original broadcast and they don't use that angle. I wonder if it's "too violent".

www.dailymotion.com/video/x2o8cjoOn this November 1985 Mid-South Wrestling episode, Eddie Gilbert does an in-ring promo that is interrupted by the Bruise Brothers, then Gilbert and The Nightmare wrestle a squash match. On the Network, they skip right to the match and don't show the angle at all, resulting in almost 6 minutes of footage being cut.

Whoever redid 4/25/1992 edition of WCW Saturday Night should be fired. Audio is way too loud. They were too lazy to change the music like they did on the other episodes so they just edited everything that had music off with the exception of the intro and outros.
Also Barry Windham's theme song is dubbed over. I know WWE network doesn't allow sound alikes so they probably felt his theme was too close to ZZ Top's La Grange but there's probably a million blues rock songs that sound similar to La Grange.

Not sure if this is a mistake but on the 6/13/1988 Prime Time Wrestling they edited out Bam Bam Bigelow's ring entrance. Not sure why as they don't edit his ring entrance out of his other appearences on Prime Time that year against Honky Tonk Man and Andre. They even ended up using his music for Prime Time Wrestling when it switched to more of a Tuesday Night Titans type show.

WWE's tape of the 1/23/1989 episode of Prime Time Wrestling is damaged. They use a terrible quality dub of Prime Time that they downloaded off YouTube for this episode starting with the Blue Blazer match and they used other sources to splice in the matches. It's funny that they used this terrible quality dub as there are better sources out there for this show.

Starting with the Oct. 25, 2000 episode of Thunder, WCW began taping the show on Mondays at Nitro. According to The Death of WCW, the plan was to just show the in-ring stuff to the live audience, and many if not all of the backstage segments would be added before the show aired on Wednesday. WWE may have uploaded these episodes (3 are up so far) as they were taped, not as they aired, because they are missing several segments and have short running times of 70-75 minutes.

October 12th does have several segments edited out. It's pretty complete until about a half hour into the show with the Kevin Nash/Shawn Stasiak segment. After that there's a backstage segment with Kevin Nash and Chuck Palumbo edited out, a Bam Bam Bigelow interview with Mean Gene where he challenges Goldberg at Mayhem and then Crowbar attacks him and gets beat up, a 2 minute video package that ran down the prior years Goldberg/Bigelow feud edited out, a Scott Steiner video package and then a couple interviews with Gene Okerland with Crowbar, Vampiro, and Jeff Jarrett that are edited out. And then there's a 5 minute sit down interview with Mike Tenay interviewing Stasiak. Strange how the Kevin Nash interview Okerland is not edited out.
