I remember when the service first launched and it was like New Jack did not exist.

The 60 minute Tully vs. Shane match just to see if it was really THAT awful.

It might be lost footage, but I want to see more of the Eastern Championship Wrestling days. I see a lot of names that keep coming up (Tony Stetson, Jimmy Jannette, Max Thrasher, Glen Osborne, Tommy Cairo), but while I can find results online, I’d like to see the matches and stories from that time play out as they happened.

There is Eastern Championship Wrestling stuff on youtube. |

the Impact Players and Gedo/Jado from the arena before Living Dangerously 2000, not sure that's ever come out in full but it was on both TV shows clipped, definitely the show from 95 I think, where Cactus nearly burns the arena down, the full shows from the first Hammerstein shows in 2000 with the tag tourney the first night and if it counts then the FBI vs Doring and Roadkill dark match at MSG in 2001

It's been thirty years now, can we please finally see the Terry Funk/King Kong Bundy-Sabu/Hawk match from the first November to Remember?

ECW Roster: Our paycheck! But seriously... to DrBackflipsHoffman , does that show where Cactus threw the flaming towel even exist? |

I kind of wish they'd put up that random WWE vs. ECW one-off they did before One Night Stand 2006 just since I think it'd be an interesting novelty to go back to.

I still laugh at how angry the forum got when Sabu tapped to the STF. It was incredibly disrespectful ...... to put over the next ace and to tap to the same move HHH had at WM months before. |

I can see it as either destroyed, or more likely, an Owen/Droz situation where it's being kept for legal purposes. I meant that it either didn't happen or it did, but wrestling lore made it out to be bigger than it was (like WCW's New Blood blood gimmick). ECW Roster: Our paycheck!

I miss those 30 minute countdowns and how they would get you up-to-speed on three-four months worth of storylines and get you SO PUMPED before the event.

Wasnt there an April Fools show where guys came down in their previous gimmicks (ie, Justin Credible as Aldo Montoya, Chris Candido as Skip). I wonder if footage of that one exists.

It was a house show on Halloween night 1997, so there's only fan cam footage. Here's a match from it with Candido in his Skip gear and Shane Douglas as Dean Douglas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1gIU15nxSw |

My main reason for getting the Network (thrice!) was to delve into ECW. But there are so many gaps that I feel like I can't really get into it the same as the WCW stuff. I don't understand why they don't post ad much of the library as possible at this point.

He never (or rarely) cleared music rights, right? He mentioned not doing so with New Jack.
I think it could be fun, if not somewhat frustrating, to dissect the choices Paul made that made it difficult or impossible to air the original broadcasts in the modern day. It's like a combo of "we don't have the money" and "it was a good idea at the time."

Outside of content that was taped but not aired, the only ECW content WWE hasn't put up are the shot-for-home video events after Cyberslam 1997. Every PPV event, every Hardcore TV episode, and every TNN episode are on WWE Network and Peacock. |
