Assuming they start with 1986, does this mean we finally may get the Hogan/Roberts snake pit?

I so want ‘86, but will take what I can get. Truthfully, feels like forever since I’ve watched actual wrestling on the Network.

I've been wanting them to add Wrestling Challenge for the longest time.

Challenge was the ying to Superstars' yang. Having one but not the other just felt wrong.

Hopefully it doesn’t get the random episodes treatment like the last primetime uploads got.

Awesome! They need more weekly Hogan era programming to fill in the massive gaps.

Here are a couple of problems: from time to time, they'd show footage from Superstars of Wrestling and that means the Superstars of Wrestling banner is visible so if the episodes the network are adding this month are from 1986, expect THE BLUR on the S.O.W. sign and also while the first 3 episodes had Lord Alfred Haynes ring announcing for some reason, Mel Phillips was Wrestling Challenge's primary ring announcer and I wouldn't be surprised if Phillips was edited out of the Network version (As he is on the banned from the Network list alongside the words "Superstars of Wrestling")

I thought there was a chance of either the rights holder departing this earth was given his wants are... unrealistic to be succinct. Phillips can’t be dubbed out or edited around?

What makes them famous? I may have been too young, or not even born yet lol. Consider Challenge to SD! what Superstars was to Raw. The B-show of the two syndicated series, as most of the major angles happened on SS. Challenge was its own thing plus updated us on things that happened on SS.

I wonder if they'll air the Providence/Winnipeg version of that week's challenge, Snake Pit included. Not likely, but it would be a nice little hidden gem (and unlike Hart/Magee, we KNOW it aired on tv). BTW, the segment where Killer Khan spit the poison into Hogan's eye was also only for the markets where Hogan/Khan was taking place.

I just realized that Randy Savage didn't bother showing up for Harley Race's coronation. Shameful.
