*Wants the July 6 1998 episode to be uploaded.

Have they added 1999-2001?

I honestly may just stop after 1998. I can't re-live everything from 99 on again.

Hmm...do they dub over Goldberg's theme on Nitros? Was there ever a reason they had to?

It used to be replaced with the Jim Johnston remake prior to the launch of the Network, both on WWE Classics On Demand and WWE Home Video. A handful of the WCW PPV events on the Network still have Goldberg entering to his WWE music, but besides that, his actual WCW music is now used when WWE airs his WCW matches.

WWE no longer replaces it, but a few of the WCW PPV events on the Network still have Goldberg entering to his WWE music. It just never occurred to me that it was anything but a generic production theme. WCW used those all of the time, and even WWF/E was known to use a few here and there.

It was one of the many production themes in the Turner music library, but up until the Network launched, WWE didn't use any WCW theme music unless it was from the Slam Jam album or written by Jimmy Hart.

It was even used as theme music before Goldberg. I was watching a random nitro from 1997 and PAT TANAKA of all people came out to the theme.

Did TBS actually have their own library, or did they just purchase the rights to use one?

Seems pointless that they have only added a few with no nitros from june to october 1998 and only one episode in 1999.

Have they added 1999-2001? I've always thought the final episode was a pretty damn good wrestling show, I'd love to finally be able to see it in good quality instead of crappy VHS copy.

Jeez, this April 1999 episode is awful. Flair and Piper losing their damn minds. Cruiserweight 4-way is a mess with Li'l Bow Wow as defending champion. Tony treating the hardcore match as a joke.
And it's only hour 1 of 3.
Guess Vince added this to prove that WCW has had bad days too.
Quick edit: Buff Bagwell vs. Disco Inferno? Who did I piss off to deserve this?

Wasn't Goldberg's "Invasion" theme by actual musicians and used without their permission? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere before.

The best part of the Cruiserweight 4-way is when Rey doing a top rope move on Psicosis and then it cuts to Blitzkrieg outside the ringing...doing absolutely nothing. They just show the very end of the landing and as far as anyone could tell he just performed an ordinary bulldog move.

Was also the episode where the fans chanted "steroids" at BPP, where Heenan quipped, "This crowd is getting pumped up for this title match."
