Raw 1998 edits out a Golga/Marc Mero match This means it's now an retroactive Dark Match?

A few ECW PPVs have odd commentary issues.
November to Remember 1997 has re-done commentary from Joey Styles during the ring entrances to the Douglas/Bigelow match. That wouldn't be that notable except for the fact that WWE managed to keep the original commentary when the match was included on "ECW Unreleased Vol. 1."
Ditto for Dreamer/Storm on Hardcore Heaven 1999. New commentary voiceover during their entrances on the Network but original commentary is present on "ECW Unreleased Vol. 2."
The 4-on-3 handicap tag match involving New Jack at November to Remember 1999 has new commentary for the entire match but ring entrances throughout the whole show are unaffected.

Big Apple Blizzard Blast 96 is missing the Headhunters vs Pit Bulls and RVD vs Jericho matches (even though the description even hypes that match).

I'm not sure about HH/PB, but RVD/Jericho not being included was a 1996 ECW edit, not a 2019 WWE one. That match being put on the Network as a Hidden Gem awhile back marked the first time it had ever been released.

They BEEP out Corey saying "Holy shit!" when Braun spears Lashley into the LED Raw stage.

So originally the WWE Network had Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentines entrance fully in tact with Queen "We Are The Champions" and Jesse Ventura praising Queen. Not sure when but Beefcake & Valentines ring entrance has been edited off the 3/86 Saturday Nights Main Event.

My guess is that they didn't have the licensing to use that Queen song and not taking it out was a mistake that they eventually caught.

Strange edit on the November 14 1992 Saturday Nights Main Event. They edit out the Bret Hart video to Tom Petty. Doesn't make sense to me why they don't just keep the video and change the song but anyways they edit out the video yet right before the video they show a graphic hyping the IC title match between British Bulldog and Shawn Michaels and then Vince says "but first lets go to a video on Bret "The Hitman" Hart" and then it fades out and we skip the video and go to the next segment. Doesn't really make sense why they wouldn't just mute that part of the commentary.

They fixed the 10/13 WCW Nitro. Originally on the Network Scott Hall & Syxx cut a promo, they cut to a commercial break and then for some reason Alex Wright vs. Disco Inferno from a different nitro is on. This is fixed as now you get the Scott Hall & Syxx promo, commercial break, and then Ted Dibiase accompanies the Steiners for their match against The Outsiders.

In the original, messed up video of that episode, the match was shown twice (once in place of the NWO vs. the Steiners, then in the correct spot later in the show).

On the Jan. 30, 1993 episode of WCW Saturday Night, a promo from Lynard Skynard about the Slam Jam album and a video about the upcoming tournament for the vacant TV Championship are both cut, even though they left in Jim Ross introducing them.

Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, and Tully Blanchard's entrances are edited off the Superstation hidden gems that was just uploaded.

Can't go back through 70 pages to see if it's been mentioned already, but I just watched the Wrestling With Wregret episode on it and watched it on the Network and at Great American Bash 1991, there was a match between Brian Pillman, as Yellow Dog, vs Johnny B. Badd. In the WWW, episode, the guy reviewing it had an old VHS copy of the show and you see Pillman look at the camera and yell something akin to "Johnny ain't Badd, Johnny B Gay!!!" He then gets the crowd to chant a very extreme gay slur at Johnny. When I watched it on the Network, the screen goes black for a moment at the start of the match and when the picture comes back, there is scrolling text on the bottom of the screen saying the show is being shown in the most complete form available. I don't blame WWE for cutting that moment. Far as I could tell too, this was a face vs face match.

Same with Flair.

On the 3/31/2003 Monday Night Raw during "The Rock Appreciation Night" 5 or 6 minutes into The Rock's promo he asks the fans to look at the Titantron and they then play a music video narrated by Jim Ross to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir". This is edited off. Also Goldberg on the original broadcast comes out to his WCW theme. I'm not sure when they switched over to Jim Johnston's knock off of his WCW theme.

Yeah it's probably an excuse to mask that incident, but people have made cuts to master tapes before*, so I wonder if someone at WCW excised the offending part in the first place? * - see also: the masters of Beavis and Butt-head, which apparently were cut after the fire incident. There's also an episode of Password that had the clue "Sicilian" cut as it was a solution to the puzzle "Mafia."

Here's something strange. On an earlier upload of Backlash 2003 they had Goldberg's WWE theme. This has been replaced by his WCW theme which I believe to be the correct theme as I'm right now trying to track down the date that his theme switched over to the Jim Johnston WWE theme. Bash at the Beach 2000 still has his WWE theme dubbed over his WCW theme so it's very strange that they would go back and fix Backlash 2003 and not Bash at the Beach 2000. I would have thought that some employee was instructed to find every instance of Goldberg using his WWE theme and change it to his WCW theme.

Just watched the 4/30/88 SNME and they edited in Ted DiBiase's theme on his way to the ring vs. Don Muraco, he didn't have theme music until (I think) the following year but it was put in here because Muraco's "Jesus Christ Superstar" theme continued to play while DiBiase made his way down the aisle. Bumping this. So "The Rock" Don Muraco's ring entrance on the original broadcast was 50 seconds. It's only 22 seconds on the Network version. On the Network version as he's on his way to the ring they fade to Okerlund interviewing Ted Dibiase. On the original broadcast Muraco's has already taken his tie dye shirt off and is talking with Superstar Billy Graham in the ring before they cut to that Gene interview with Dibiase. I'm not really sure why they feel the need to shorten ring entrances as you lose some of Vince and Jesse's commentary when they do that.
