Off the top of my head or the things that matter to me are WWF Superstars from 80s/90s and Sunday Night Heat.
These shows had some hidden gems and were a chance for us to really get to see the midcard talent show their stuff. I miss heat alot and feel the network should have this.

Fill in the gaps with World Class and USWA. Just having a few shows here and there isn't enough.

Weekend shows like Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, All-American, Mania, Power Hour, Worldwide, Main Event. I know that some episodes of Saturday Night are available, but I want the ones with the futuristic intro.
A Coliseum Video section. I've wanted that ever since WWE announced the Network two years ago.

I would like to see some Sunday Night heat stuff, some of the 1998 and 1999 stuff before Smackdown had stuff that tied into the Storylines from Raw and the PPVs. I'd also like to see some of the International Sunday Night heat episodes instead of the PPV preshow stuff. Fill in the gaps with World Class and USWA. Just having a few shows here and there isn't enough. The only USWA they have rights & masters for are from the Dallas office. I take the rights of those tapes were WCCW's and not USWA under the Jarretts after the split?

Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, and the remaining episodes of Prime Time are pretty lame omissions at this point. They need to be there.
I second the suggestion of having a Coliseum Video section. I also kinda assumed that'd be an early feature to lure in nostalgic fans... like me.

It connects so much of the Federation Era, especially between Wrestlemania 3 all the way until really Raw got rolling. Couple of issues: Digitizing time - so much tape to be converted to digital and then uploaded, and we are talking years here. Music rights too - Country Boy, Superstar and Sirius all have to go and those are the major ones. Probably minor stuff too. And finally, and probably critical - Hogan is still in WWE's doghouse. Even with Gawker losing, the fact is Hogan still said what he said and that's not good from a corporate point of view. Just have to wait and see about forgiving and moving on.

They really are not adding enough content monthly I dont think considering how much they have. I understand the Network is going to be around forever (well, we and they hope) so they need to make sure they have enough to keep adding, but it feels like they add only a handful of archived stuff a month

That's why they're in the GWF section.

Synergy.
I despise their random 3 hour repeating blocks on any given day of the live feed. You'll have an episode of Total Divas, followed by This Week in WWE, then Camp WWE, E&C, Roundtable and then it'll start over at Total Divas. This will repeat 4 straight times, an old PPV will play and then the same block of the exact same episodes will replay throughout the night until the next morning when it's the same shows with the episodes changed (for the most part).
How hard could it possibly be to have four straight episodes of RAW from any given year (Smackdown from later years) and then the PPV straight after? Or to have Saturday Night at 6PM on Saturday night? They have a show called Tuesday Night Titans that they can play on Tuesday nights.
I don't know what Hulk's situation is, but they could put the Rock N Wrestling episodes on Saturday mornings, followed by Action Zone or Superstars.
My point is, they have old shows that aired weekly in specific timeslots. Why not play them in those timeslots? They could sprinkle in Total Divas at a designated time, as well as their Network Exclusive content in primetime slots on certain nights (could advertise it as a block of new episodes debuting on.... Friday nights from 8-11PM).
There is so much potential to make this an all encompassing and engrossing network with just a little effort, and they program repeats as though it were that much more expensive to assign an intern to look into scheduling more variety. The on-demand feature is fun if you want to binge, but this would take the work out of having to go find episodes of shows for individual viewings. One of the best parts of being a fan as a kid was knowing exactly when a show aired and following it weekly. I guess it's a cultural shift.

Even with Gawker losing, the fact is Hogan still said what he said and that's not good from a corporate point of view. Just have to wait and see about forgiving and moving on. Plus, with Superstars, they must clear whatever issue they had with that company in Australia over the Superstars of Wrestling name, or work on unfortunately altering all those shows. At least for the pre-1991 version of the show. (yet there's an indy in NJ that gets to be called Superstars of Wrestling without any problem...and they CHANGED their previous name to that!!! Go figure.) Do they have to mention Hogan when advertising the syndies and Prime Time? They haven't deleted PPVs and weeklys he appeared on. There's Rock 'n' Wrestling, but Hogan's name is in the title. Challenge you have to think has many digitized episodes, as it was a regular part of Classics on Demand. Now, WCW Cyber matches reminds me...could WWE have WCW's internet events? lostmedia.wikia.com/wiki/WCW_Internet-only_Special_Events_and_PPVs_(Lost_1997-1998_Audio_Streams)What they'd do with an audio-only presentation, I don't know though.

I'll take it. The KTVT late night show was pure gold. What WWE has up is the syndicated USWA Dallas show, not the KTVT show. Yes I think this was the version seen on SportsChannel. That and GWF Major League Wrestling. (Supercard was the ESPN show) I am trying to sort this out in my head. I think USWA only had the syndie and Dallas shows. WCCW had a syndie, ESPN, and Dallas (?) Am I right in saying USWA (Dallas) only was aired on ESPN when Pedicino had stake in it for starting up the GWF? In 1991? And of course GWF was on ESPN from 1991-93...but was Major League Wrestling and the Dallas show one and the same? I know SportsChannel had MLW, but near the end/post-end of ESPN they had unedited versions of what made it to ESPN in 1993. Then they carried GWF's weekly until the promotion closed in 1994. What's also interesting -- and complicated -- is there's a Texas indy that has the rights to use the GWF name. Look on Facebook and YouTube for "GWF Onslaught." They've also been posting complete episodes of the original GWF from 1994. So....help fill in the blanks here... WCCW (Adkisson) = all WWE's. WCCW (Jarrett) = Has anything from that era popped up on anything WWE? It was part of the Savoldi holdings, so.... USWA = WWE has only what was in Savoldi's collection? Meaning the ESPN era from 1991 (which would include syndication I assume)? However, the Austin matches they used were from 1990. So...syndicated version, ESPN shows maybe? KTVT....not sure. GWF = WWE has only ESPN era/Savoldi holdings? Supercard and Major League Wrestling? KTVT unknown...but on the WWE 50th DVD special, they did show a montage of the companies they owned, and the opening to the KTVT GWF show is seen.
