While going through the ECW Hardcore TV episodes, I've noticed that even though every single episode was 1-hour with commericals, whatever is missing from the episodes in their WWE Network form has caused a huge variation in running time. Episodes on the Network vary anywhere between 27 minutes to 49 minutes. Hardcore TV was a paid informerical, so almost all of the commericals were for ECW stuff.
I did notice when watching the June 13, 1995 episode (#112; running time on the Network is 39:32) that the video package about Sandman/Douglas/Cactus at the very beginning of the show is joined in progress (and from what I've been able to find, the same was true when WWE aired it on Classics On Demand). If anyone knows of other specific examples of content missing, please post them. |

I don't have the network, but the shortest no commercial episode I have on my hard drive (all of 96) is 39 minutes with episode 1 of 1996, and longest is 58 minutes, with all ranging from 49 to 58, so that should give people a good idea of if they edited stuff out or not.
I can't imagine them editing anything out besides music, but they may have edited out Hype Central which was essentially a commercial. Don't have the network so no clue but it's possible.

Yeah, all of the Hype Central/house show line-ups were removed. Weird seeing Lance Wright push the upcoming match between Cactus Jack & Tommy Dreamer, they go to the "channel-change" cut and Lance is still there after it, discussing the possibilities.
Not a big deal, but they should have left them in. Show newer fans what was considered ticket-buying draws back then. (Then again, it's easier to remove them than have to edit more bad covers.)

I assume they cut music videos out.

11/14/95, Episode 134. "November Rain" is not only dubbed over, but every little piece of the actual GNR video used was removed, so it's about 2-3 minutes shorter.
(But, to be fair, the Sandman's dubbed theme is kinda catchy and I've warmed up to it.)

While nothing can replace Enter Sandman, it still fits Sandman perfectly. |

Don't they take out all of New Jack's matches whenever Natural Born Thrillaz played through them? That could also be a contributor.

I know from the earlier 1993 episodes they edited out the commercials for Tod Gordon's pawn shop.

Does anyone know if any episodes have been removed?
I ask because I started from the beginning a few weeks back, so the 1993 episodes. I probably watched 5 or 6 episodes then when I went back to watch the rest last night the first 3 episodes I'd watched are no longer there
I may have just missed them & wasn't really paying much attention, just seemed odd
