Since NXT is technically FCW rebranded, do you think we get it on the Network someday? I can understand probably not getting OVW as I believe that's TNA/GFW zone now.

Actually, WWE has rights to all OVW footage from 2000-2008 when they were WWE Developmental. The TNA/OVW relationship only lasted like a year.

I would rather have Championship Wrestling from Florida on the network. They had it on WWE 24/7 all of the time.

Championship Wrestling from Florida was the NWA arm in Florida who had great stars in Dusty Rhodes, Bob Roop, Kevin Sullivan, Magnum TA among a whole host of others. It's also known as where Solie did a lot of announcing between that and World Championship Wrestling. Still some of the best storylines such as Dusty's huge face turn, Kevin Sullivan being the Devil, Luger's debut, among others.

I think they want to finish up World Class before doing anything like that. Florida would be nice to do next, but who knows where they will go. Word is that Heat or Thunder will be next.

It'd be nice if FCW ever went up, just so we could finally relive the glory of Count Franklin Furter.

Still some of the best storylines such as Dusty's huge face turn, Kevin Sullivan being the Devil, Luger's debut, among others. They also were basically the home territory for the Funks, Briscos and the Windham family. The talent pool was very strong and they regularly had actual main event caliber matches on tv, unlike many of the other territories. As far as the angles go, the episodes I watched were during Sullivan's devil gimmick with his Army of Darkness stable. It was so ahead of it's time and really well done. It's amazing how terrible the WCW Dungeon of Doom was after watching the much more realistic and creepy stuff he was doing in Florida.

I remember hearing that they don’t have much championship wrestling from Florida when selling it Mike Graham claimed he had way more then he did and that’s why when it aired on 24/7 it was just random episodes one would be from 82 the next was 86 then 84 and the series was just here’s Mike Graham on a boat talking generically about a random CWF episode.

They had a few back to back episodes, but I could see how that would be a problem. CWF episodes would regularly end mid-match and you had to see the next episode for the finish.

For every Seth Rollins or Dean Ambrose or (Antonio) Cesaro that managed to make it through and out with a normal enough name and have a great career, there are dozens of people who washed out quickly that had the ignominy of being bestowed with some absolute doozies for names... Names like the aforementioned Count Franklin Furter, Sweet Papi Sanchez, Lift Sawyer and, my personal favourite, Dr. Cable Jones.

I can understand probably not getting OVW as I believe that's TNA/GFW zone now. I think the biggest problem WWE would have with adding the OVW footage they own to the Network is the fact that, much like ECW, OVW has always used real songs for their entrance music. Dubbing all that would probably be a pain in the ass for them.

If it costs a lotnof money and doesn't last for a long time it's not a really good investment

Not worth the investment at all for something that isn't going to be watched much.
