Nope. Only big events from WWE, WCW, and ECW are available right now.

"You've seen pay-per-views in which one guy from a company wrestles another guy from the same company. You've seen that six or seven times already!"- Lee Marshall shilling SuperClash 3 (you can see it in the WWE's AWA documentary)..... Because he is the worst. There's just something I don't like about Lee Marshall, he's so inarticulate and those 1-800-COLLECT segments on Thunder with the weasel jokes meant at the expense of Heenan were insufferable!

I hope the AWA weekly shows leading up to Superclash get uploaded at the same time, because they are hilarious to watch the Memphis guys doing the insane brawling, almost hardcore style of wrestling and listen to Verne trying to explain it on commentary.
Its been a while since I've watched those episodes on ESPN classic, but I remember Verne trying to put over Greg's technical ability and sounding so pleased at the headlocks and dropkicks his kid was doing, and then a few minutes later when Bill Dundee and somebody was wrestling Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden and they're just going insane with brawling, Fuller using brass knucks, and on the outside Fuller's valet is nailing Dundee with a kendo stick and Verne is just stuttering and keeps saying "this is crazy."

The Network, in recent weeks have REALLY scaled back on any content outside of WWE. I honestly have no idea when, if ever something like this will be shown.

I loved how Lee was always at the town Nitro would take place the following week, as if they were too embarrassed to have him...you know, actually AT a live Nitro, instead of just calling in and checking up on them. I never really liked Marshall either (that announcing at WM 2 was terrible), but they usually brought him in when the women were in the ring, like he's the Mike Tenay of ladies wrestling. He did know his stuff. He's just a pest, the nosy neighbor always seeing what you're up to. "Howdy ho, neighbor! What are you up to? Huh?" I'm going in my garage. "Big plans for today, hmm?" No, just getting a socket wrench to put in a space-saving can opener. "Really? Well, I'm headed to Duluth, Minnesota, and if we see a weasel there, we sock-et! Ha hahaha!" |

The Network is meant to last, I assume, for the rest of WWE's lifetime so I think it will be uploaded eventually (I agree, a very vague word to use).

Lee Marshall: We're here at the site of next week's Nitro and blah blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah... blah BLAH blah blah... WEASEL blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. .. that's what I heard every single week. Anyway, yeah.... right now, the WWE stuff is the quickest, easiest, and most expected content to put up on the Network. I'm sure they will eventually pup up AWA stuff, WCW weekly shows, etc,... but they'll want to keep all that as a "big new addition" to the Network. You don't want to just shove everything you have right away, you want to keep some stuff in the background otherwise you run out your stock quickly and have a chance to completely overwhelm the consumer. Plus, i'm sure there are discussions as to how this will affect current content. I think the WWE PPVs are safe forever, but I wonder if they intend to simply add to the library or periodically move some stuff off for a period of time, then put it back a year or so later. |

Even better was the fact that in the build-up there was about 9,000 Von Erich vs Lawler matches.

This total incongruity is the reason why I loved 1988 AWA. |

You're not missing much. I don't believe there is any AWA footage on the Network. Right now, the main old school promotion featured (outside of WWE, ECW, WCW) is World Class, which I find very enjoyable. The footage starts out with Michael Hayes coming into town and you can experience the big angle where the Freebirds turned on the Von Erichs as well as Ric Flair's feud with the Von Erichs.

I too, would love to see some standalone AWA footage on the Network.
After all, I'm paying for this thing. I am entitled to see as much wrestling footage as I damn well please!

RIP Lee Marshall, right? Well, I think there's a difference between "Lee Marshall is an insufferable wrestling announcer" and wishing terminal cancer on the man. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the comments sections on some dirt sheet sites were celebrating this. I don't know if the afterlife exists, but if it does I hope Lee Marshall took some time to adjust to the transition before looking up his own name on Google Alerts to read this (I even managed to post this on his deathday)! I just read his wikipedia page (didn't even know the dude died or was even sick until today) and it said that he succeeded Thurl Ravenscroft as the voice of Tony the Tiger, which I can definately hear in retrospect. The guy definately had a great voice for voiceovers, but the man was not good at adlibbing or writing his own copy. |
