They are finally starting to upload these, I'm excited as this was my favorite year of the WWF Attitude Era.
EDIT: They just uploaded 11/6/2000 Raw where Trips turns heel on Austin and reveals himself to be the mastermind behind Austin getting hit by the car at Survivor Series 99.

I'm looking forward to watching these, thanks to the arrival of the likes of Jericho, Angle and The Radicalz, the match quality went up a lot from 1999.

Finally! I was going to let my subscription lapse after for a while after Takeover but I probably won't now.
I'm going to be really disappointed if they're not as good as I remember.

They also added some of the Nov./Dec. 1999 Raw episodes that were missing. The 11/22 show doesn't have the X-Pac vs. Jeff Hardy match for some reason. The show fades to black for the fourth commercial break of the episode but resumes with what happened after the fifth break. There are multiple episodes of Raw, Nitro, and ECW on the Network that do this, which makes wonder if there's a button on the editing equipment that someone can press that will just remove everything that happened in between two ad breaks.

This would happen on classics on demand every so often the one that sticks out the most was the Episode in early 99 where Jeff Jarrett/Owen Hart won the tag belts before the commercial break they say it's up next & when they come back it's a different match and jr's talking about New tag champs.

I just wish they'd upload WCW 2000 episodes.

About damn time. The only thing I need now is a chicken schnitzel and chips and a few gold coins for Harley-Davidson pinball and dammit it's Tuesday night at Engadine Tavern and I'm 11 years old all over again.

They added some more from 5/8, 5/22, 9/25 (the first one on TNN) and 12/18 (where Vince fires Foley as commissioner).

They also uploaded one of my favorite episodes, 2/7/00 which had the Radicalz turn heel on Foley, which led to that huge 10-man tag with Rock/Cactus/2 Cool Rikishi vs. the Radicalz/X-Pac and HHH. It was in front of a hot crowd in Dallas and had Kane's return also which the crowd lost their s*** for.

Just watched the 1/3/2000 episode. Crowd wasn't as hot as I remember, but still good. The one thing they did back then is infuse the main characters (at this point, DX, rock and foley) throughout the show, much like a regular series.

I always enjoyed that instead of today's once they appear their done for the night unless it's the authority.

Just started the Radicalz debut episode. The reaction when they get in the ring and attack the outlaws is great! It's ashame, we'll never get another jumping over moment like that. Jim Ross did a good job of making them seem like a huge deal. Also, what a great idea to give them some direction, as Radical invaders who were sick of being held down and willing to do anything to get to the top of the WWF. At a time when characters were so, so important (which Benoit and Malenko didn't have in WCW), it gave them a goal and purpose.
I'm sure if this were to happen now, the announcers would say how they shouldn't be on the show, and they aren't good enough to be in WWE. The Outlaws would've beat them up, they would lose matches and get their ass kicked for a few weeks until they randomly get contracts in a throwaway segment on Smackdown.

Did they just take off all of 97-99?!
EDIT: They've been moved to Raw Replays and the Attitude Era section is empty.

At last!
This is the golden period of the Attitude Era. The smut is toned down, the match quality vastly improves and the actual characters and storylines are as strong as ever.
2000 WWE can't be beaten.

Man, couple of observations from the episode I'm watching today (the post-KOTR one with the debut of Commissioner Foley)...
1. Say what you will about the alignments being a mess and the angles being a mess today, but at least today's women are treated with a noticeably higher amount of dignity than the women here, who are basically playing strip poker wrestling via a Dean Malenko/Jerry Lawler match? At least it was a good character moment for Steven Richards as he was just starting up Right To Censor at the time.
2. How the f*** did a temp scrub team like D'Lo Brown and Perry Saturn make it further in a #1 Contender Battle Royal than The Dudley Boyz, The Hardy Boyz, T&A AND Too Cool? They were in the final two in this thing with The APA somehow.
