I just got done watching Capital Carnage and now in the process of watching No Mercy, the 1999 UK show. Because I had always been curious about those UK PPVs, I plan to check out more of them (even though I have the DVDs of Rebellion 2001 and 2002, so I could exclude those). However, I tried to look for One Night Only. It seems that it's nowhere to be found. Was it removed or has it just not been put up yet? At least I could watch Bret Hart vs. Undertaker on Bret Hart's DVD set, while Shawn Michaels vs. British Bulldog was included as an extra on the Rebellion 2002 DVD.
What's the deal here?

I'm in the UK and have the original Network, and One Night Only is there.
So if you're watching through Peacock I guess they just haven't bothered to upload it.

What is weird about it not being on Peacock is that One Night Only was one of the few UK PPVs that was actually mentioned on the WWF's American TV - mainly the fallout of the European Title Match. It even had a WWF Shopzone exclusive VHS release in that weird period between Coliseum Video being closed down and WWF Home Video being launched.

A shame if you can't see it, as beyond the big 2 matches everyone remembers, Vader/Owen Hart and the tag title match (headbangers v Savio Vega and Miguel Perez) are proper banger matches too.

This show was awesome, definitely watch it if you can find it. It has Shawn Michaels' best ring attire ever, too. Technically he wore it in 1996 on Raw, but this is the night it's known for.

We searched, and found it, just looking up "one night only". That was in March, though.

I do remember when the Netowrk first launched in 2014 the version of One Night Only that was up was the VHS release that was missing a few matches (including the disastrous Al Snow vs Tiger Ali Sighn match) and enough people complained to where they took it down and then restored it in full.
Prior to the Network, there was also a version on Classics on Demand for one of their travel-themed months that included contemporary pop-up inserts of Triple H and maybe one or two then-roster members sharing their memories of the trip. For years of the network after, it'd be the version that would be posted and selected whenever the show was uploaded.

Wonder if they'll eventually do the same thing with Halloween Havoc 90, which currently only has the Turner VHS version which is missing Terry Taylor vs Bill Irwin, Brad Armstrong vs JW Storm, Master Blasters vs Southern Boys, and Junkyard Dog vs Moondog Rex. |

I believe they did it with other WCW PPVs of that era, so hopefully it will happen. I vaguely recall at the time that particular show either had a damaged or missing master. I've only been able to find the Dog vs Rex match elsewhere online. I should really try to track down a broadcast version. |

People complained about not being able to see a Junkyard Dog vs Moon Dog Rex match from 1990?
