That doesn't really surprise me. The trend has always been new shows and special PPVs are all anyone watches. idk who these anyone are, cuz everyone I know exclusively watches old stuff, but whatever. I'm old and shit.

Disappointing but not unexpected. The oldest stuff I can see casual viewers being interested in is the Hogan era. Anything before that, and it's not very palatable for your typical, modern casual fan.

I would like to see some stuff from The Brian Pillman Memorial events from the late 90s to early 2000s. I don't know how many they held.
Sure WWE could get them since a Chris Benoit vs William Regal match from one of those events is on the Benoit Hard Knocks DVD.

Jebus Christ! That one camera angle didn't really do the bloodbath justice. (Although, Tommy Rich's hair turning completely dripping red was a good indicator)

An unaired pilot for a WCW Lucha show that I never even knew happened until now?! This is exactly the kind of stuff I want, WWE Network!

Anything that's a holy grail like the Last Battle of Atlanta was last time?

The closest thing to a Holy Grail is the Buddy Rogers vs. Ric Flair footage (keyword: footage, since the full match was lost and it's the only footage of Flair/Rogers that ever was found.) Since it isn't the complete match, I'm pretty sure it's the footage WWE bought from a private collector a year or so ago.

I was watching the Festival De Lucha match which has no commentary and Finlay is at ringside for Team Jericho, was he in a storyline with anyone from this match at the time?

I want the rest of Festival de Lucha added to the Network, I'd love to see the stuff they never aired.

If they're doing hidden gems then possibly we'll finally get to see that Owen Hart vs Kurt Angle match And Owen Hart vs Chris Benoit (w.Ted Dibiase) match from 1995 Yeah, not gonna happen.

Random Thoughts:
- I gotta watch more pre-foot amputation Kerry Von Erich
- Lynn vs. Kid still holds up even with today's cruiserweight standard. This must've blown people's minds in 1991!
- Pillman & Hart vs. The Funks is an excellent match/brawl. So much fun. Pure insanity!

Where do you find this stuff? I tried searching on the Network and could find nothing new.

When I saw Lynn vs the Kid best of 3 falls I imagined it would be a masterpiece, glad to hear it lives up to the billing. I will watch all of these, but I am curious if Watts vs Terry Funk is any good, sounds like a fun match.
