Well, I remember it was around the time between Wrestlemania Week and when the head of programming was fired that I've noticed that they stopped uploading the Old School episodes, the ECW Hardcore TV episodes (minus the 30 episodes they uploaded afterward) and the WCCW episodes. I remember when the Network came out the first month, they were doing a great job uploading these things. We would see two or three old school house shows being uploaded a week. We would get two episodes of WCCW a week, two to three episodes of ECW Hardcore TV (I wish they would have started at episode 1). After Wrestlemania XX was over with, they started decreasing the episodes of Old School,WCCW, ECW, and then around the same time they fired the head of programming, we got one episode of Old School, which was MSG from March 1997 and we got the 30 episodes of ECW and now, we get none of that. I've said many, many, many times that instead of replaying the same s*** over and over again, they could fill that time with more Old School, more ECW, more WCCW. I could understand if maybe those sections weren't popular sections and that's why they stopped, but it's hard to believe that especially ECW would not be a popular section to check out or the Old School House Shows, so they should really worry about fixing their system of uploading stuff or their system of what to air on the live stream before worrying about mentioning to people that they should subscribe a thousand times and give people a reason to subscribe. Why can't they put out surveys? They did before the Network came out. All they have to do is this: Put out an email with a survey, have it say, "Hey, are you interested in subscribing to the Network? What could we put on the Network to get you as a valued customer? Please put up to five options below of what the Network could focus on uploading. Thank you for your time!", or something along these lines, and I will have no doubt they'll have a million subscribers by year's end. I love the Network and I want nothing more than for it to succeed. Like the video I uploaded with the Solomonster with his ideas like maybe put Ring of Honor on the Network to think outside of the box, broadcast some of the house shows like the MSG or the international house shows, why couldn't they broadcast Santino announcing his retirement or KENTA's contract signing, which they could have done even on a delay. There's so much that they could do that they are not doing and that's why they're having a hard time getting people to subscribe while when UFC did their Fight Pass, they only expected 100, 000 subscribers by year's end and they already passed that goal. Which is 600k less than the WWE Network has right? Idk, whole thing seems apples and oranges though I must admit I am not terribly familiar with Fight Pass. Well, I don't think they have exactly 100, 000 since they passed that goal already. The Fight Pass is similar to what WWE Network is and it came out a couple of months before the WWE Network. I used the Fight Pass as an example cause Solomonster on his show (which I uploaded the video of him talking about it) was talking about how UFC Fight Pass held a show in Ireland that was exclusive to the Fight Pass and it turned into giving out examples of the things that have made the Fight Pass very successful to UFC that the Network could do to think outside of the box, like getting the rights to ROH, but at the same time not own the company since WWE had no problem mentioning ROH in the past, especially with the article that WWE did about them. There more he talked about on that video, it's a good listen cause they're all great ideas, and if I didn't already had the Network, I would have subscribe if I saw that they would have something on there that I never thought they would broadcast.

Just drop the ROH idea. It'll never happen.

And yet the WWE stinks and hasn't had a good champion since CM Punk. Your opinion is 100% accurate.

I apologize if this has already been answered but is there a reason why earlier versions of ECW events aren't in the PPV section, or do they not consider events like November to Remember 1995 PPV's since they didn't have a deal by that point?

I believe that it's because they weren't on Pay-Per-View. Although neither was WrestleMania 1 but still. They'll probably be uploaded one day.

Three matches from November to Remember 1995 was put onto DVD: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Psychosis in a Mexican Death Match - Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violent Matches Mikey Whipwreck vs. Steve Austin - The Stone Cold Truth Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven & Cactus Jack - Mick Foley's Greatest Hits & Misses I am pretty sure the WWE has the rest in their library.

I would guess that since they were not PPVs, they won't be put there. Barely Legal was the first official ECW PPV, so putting up anything before that would technically be out of place. I know that some of the early WWE and WCW "PPVs" uploaded were not technically PPVs, but it's easier for WWE to sweep that under the rug on a technicality due to them being pre-PPV being popular. ECW on the other hand, came way later and the whole selling point of Barely Legal was "HEY! THIS IS OUR FIRST PPV!" As much as I would like to see old ECW shows on there, the best chance would be that maybe someday they will be uploaded in a section of the vault.

After six months, the WWE Network is on the verge of sinking. All of these cuts the WWE has made in Stamford is going to cost them. In order for the network to succeed, the WWE has to think outside the box for content. Subsequently, the WWE can't sound desperate to entice people to subscribe. Its like saying forcing a chef to cook a meal without the proper ingredients. If the WWE can't turn the network around, I can see it falling in about a year or two.

I hope it doesn't, I feel like people need to stop being so short sighted about the amount of content, and realize that not only do they intend on getting to all the stuff you want to see, but with so much in their library, you'll have a near infinite amount of wrestling content. And stuff like Legend's House and the MNW show that is gonna start soon, that original content can continue to be created and pushed forward, as long as we accept it and help the out by subscribing. I understand that there are a lot of factors that are in play when it comes to people deciding whether they want to subscribe or not. But I wish more people would be willing. They'll get to the Attitude Era, they'll get to Monday Night Nitro, they'll get to more ECW stuff, but in the meantime, there is so much stuff, including all the current day PPVs for 10 bucks a month. You can't beat that, even if you're not the hugest fan of the current day product, having a good portion of the weekly content and the PPVs could be enough to draw you back in and if not, there is NXT as a modern day alternative. And if not, the backlog of stuff. We just need to support it.

@rememberalf, try telling that to the 128,000 people who pulled out of their network subscriptions. When you have the WWE keep on reminding people the network costs $9.99 during a three-hour broadcast, it tells you how desperate the WWE really is. Even weeks ago, the WWE was in panic mode to get even more people to subscribe. It is getting incredibly sad to see the WWE having to resort to all of these tactics. Once the network has gone global, the WWE would be lucky to get three to five million subscribers. If they get three million, then they would have something to celebrate. With four or even five, the WWE can throw a big party.
