I know there's not likely to be a definite answer to this question, but do you think when/if the WWE network launches, they will show old episodes of WCW Nitro or ECW in chronological order? Seems the right thing to do, but would they be too worried about piracy to do this? It's something I (and I'm guessing many others) might want to see. Maybe with the correct ppv thrown in.
What's your opinion?

I don't think there really is that big of a demand for every episode of WWE/WCW/ECW television. Classics on Demand wasn't exactly a smashing success. Pretty much any match of note is already out there on youtube or similar sites. So if the WWE network is a traditional tv channel I don't see why they wouldn't air all those old shows.

Was your last sentence paying attention to what the rest of you were saying?

My guess is that they will start from the beginning on the Monday Night War episodes. They already have them edited of whatever old logos they are censoring at the moment and have the Benoit matches gone.

Indeed I was, asking whether old WCW/ECW shows would be on the network. You then just ran down how little interest there would be in them, how poorly previous ventures that showcased them had been and then finished by saying therefore you saw no reason why they wouldn't be shown. The final sentence seemed somewhat contradictory to the rest of what you had said.

I would think the network would air those old shows to fill time in the afternoon and anything worth pirating from those shows is out there already out there, taken from DVDs or the original broadcast.
