I was thinking about this earlier about what the great matches or pivotal matches are not up on the Network yet despite WWE owning the rights. I thought it might be worth compiling a list and ticking them off as they are finally put up.
Two that immediately spring to mind through my recent viewing (or attempted viewing) are Bob Backlund winning the title from Superstar Billy Graham in 78, and the Steiner Brothers cage match with Money Inc for the tag titles in 93.
Are there any missing matches that you have noticed that you would like to see added?

Kickoff shows from before the Network are not on the Network, which means The Usos vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns from Money in the Bank 2013 is only available on WWE's YouTube channel.

Morales winning the title over Koloff isn’t up yet, pretty significant. Still missing at least one match from the Rhodes/Graham MSG Feud I think.

I'd say a good chunk of their 60s stuff.

"Superfly" Sivi Afi's WWF debut at MSG in January 86, nah just kidding. I just wish they would upload it as it's hilarious how Finkel starts the introduction and the fans go apeshit thinking Jimmy Snuka is coming out and then he says "Sivi Afi" and the place gets deflated and it goes over like a fart in church.
Seriously, I wish they would upload more WCW Saturday Night/Worldwide episodes from the early 90's, a lot of great matches were on there.

I don't think the Slaughter vs Patterson Street Fight is on the network.

Came here to post these, which is a real shame as these two matches are literally the two I always suggest for fans of mid-80s and later to check out to develop a taste for pre-80s wrestling. The pacing and pageantry is similar enough to today's to build that bridge, the super hot crowds indicate what to watch for and what was so appealing in these matches, and the familiarity of the performers and who they've influenced allow for an instant investment. |

Didn’t the Steiners have a match with Bret and Owen on one of the Coliseum Video tapes but they didn’t upload it when they released those tapes last year?

None of the NJPW/WCW supershows, though that may be due to the fact that they're on NJPW World IIRC.

None of the NJPW/WCW supershows, though that may be due to the fact that they're on NJPW World IIRC. The 1993 event was aired on WWE Classics On Demand, and individual matches from the 1991 and 1992 shows have been on a few WWE Home Video releases. |

There's a lot of big ECW matches that were on the ECW home videos and not the weekly show.
For example, the Night The Line Was Crossed 3-way, Sabu vs Terry Funk barbed wire match, etc.

Steiner vs Money Inc cage match.
At least it wasn't last time I looked.

I can’t seem to find the Iron Sheik’s title win over Bob Backlund. I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen it on there before though. I’m probably just missing it somehow.

The show where Sheik/Backlund happened isn't on the Network, and if there ever was a video of just the match itself, it's been removed. I don't think it ever was put up, though. |

I think a brief clip of it is shown during the WWF Grand Slams Coliseum Video release in the Home Video section. |
