WWE usually adds between 50 and 70 hours worth of content to the Vault section every month but have not done so since the end of August when they added more episodes of WWF All-Star Wrestling. Anyone know why?
It's also odd that they're promoting WWE Main Event as the classic content drop for October. It's still airing today, plus they only added the first 10 episodes from October-December 2012. That's a very small amount of content compared to the typical 50-70 hours.

Perhaps they figured that they have dropped so much content now that it should tide most of the viewers over for a while.
Still hoping that with the next content drop they will start filling the gap in WCW Saturday Night shows from 1989-1992.

I just want them to get the rest of the primetime wrestling’s up cause I haven’t cared about a lot of their recent content dumps.

Well, we need the rest of Aug.-Dec. 1984 Mid-South and then hopefully most of 1985. Do they not have the 1980 era footage with the Freebirds/JYD feud?

The story that's been told was that the Watts family had the pre-12/1981 shows, but they were shot on a different type of videotape that's really expensive to convert to digital. I have noticed the Watts family had more footage than it seemed because WWE has released Mid-South/UWF footage that was never available for sale on the Unversal Wrestling website.

Prime Time is a Collection I want finished. I’m more mystified by the lack of Old School updates. We know from 24/7 they have a lot of MSG/Spectrum/Boston Garden shows and yet the area has barely been touched since launch. What’s the deal?

I have so many House shows in my collection from 24/7 from MSG,Boston Garden,Philly Spectrum,Maple Leaf Gardens,Nassau Coliseum,Copps,LA Sports Arena,etc and it’s a shame that none of those came to the network I’m guessing they don’t do many views so they just didn’t bother but if that’s the case a lot of the networks content dumps make no sense.

It really is odd because they feed off the syndies. If we ever get at least Challenge, it magnifies the TV with the houses. More people WOULD watch the supporting material was there. That’s my belief anyway.

That’s my belief anyway. I’d watch it and it not being there is the reason most of the time I skip watching stuff on the network and go strictly with my collection cause even just going off what I got from 24/7 a lot of which might not see the light of day on the network.It doesn’t shock me though because the people I know that are current WWE fans whether young or old don’t go back and watch old stuff they only care about current stuff and they don’t care much about that stuff either.

Well, this is why older stuff is not often watched because the uploads are in isolation. All Star Wrestling has no house shows to support the advertised feuds. 1980s WWE only has some PTW and SNME between the PPVs, no syndies, few houses. Mid South, World Class and Mid Atlantic are the 80s version of the Monday Night War and can only be magnified with more stuff added for WWE and Crockett. It is, like you said, why the wrestling memory seems to stop around the MNW. And WWE is kind of responsible for that by not cultivating a memory until fairly recently. Hopefully that is something that can be improved upon. Add more, maybe even shows with older talent to frame in context. History of WWE, Territory Days, whatever. Tell the stories, because they are good stories. Make the names of the past mean something.

I liked what they did on 24/7 having Michael Hayes & Kevin Von Erich hosting the weekly WCCW shows telling all kinds of stories,Joey Styles with a rotating cast of Tazz,Dreamer or Guido depending on who was currently employee doing the weekly ECW TV,They had Mike Graham do Florida but that was a mess because they aired random shows one month it’s 81 next its 87 then it’s 83.Or even what they briefly tried at the end with Renee & Striker watching raw’s with you from late 98 early 99.

And they are sadly running out of time for first hand perspective. Mike Graham is gone, Dusty is gone, Piper is gone, WWE really needs to get recollections captured soon before too many more are lost. Hopefully when this promised revamp of the Network is done, the ability to have context and watch all of the available wrestling for a given date will be possible. Fingers crossed and more to be added, that’s all I ask for.

Since that show was reposted on Scott's Blog Of Doom recently, I wonder if WWE has the rights to air their "Girls Gone Wild" PPV they did in 2003.

I want more Sunday Night Heat!!!! Heat, Shotgun, Velocity and Metal all should be looked at. Truth is just for WWE alone, there is so much to add, we will still be discussing what is missing a thousand days from now. What’s funny is, for my part, I want classic WWE so much, Main Event being added is frankly a disappointment. But, different strokes, different generation.

Still praying that one day, no matter how futile and how much of a pipedream it is, they will reach an agreement with the entity possessing the "Superstars of Wrestling" trademark, allowing them to upload Superstars episodes.
From 1993 would be good at least because as far as I can see, during the first years, RAW and Superstars shared angle-advancing duties.

Right now, they could upload all the episodes starting from the middle of April 1992. At that point, the show's name was shortened to WWF Superstars.

That’s something, but we really want the whole of the 80s for Superstars. By 1993, they were already transitioning to B show status with RAW taking the A status.

I want more Sunday Night Heat!!!! It’s weird they stopped a month before it stopped being relevant cause once Smackdown starts Heat becomes the home of Chaz beating his girlfriend,Meat becomes The Man,Stevie Richards playing dress up and a bunch of Mideon.Deja video was always a weird mix of goofy in character comments and non kayafabe stuff.
