The Chief Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I don't think the Rock 'n Rolls got there until '83, but Rude was around as a job guy before that. So in this case I guess the reason for uploading these is "just because." I'm all for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 A couple were previously available for Black History Month, but yes it appears this isn't tied in to anyone going in to the HOF this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 how many episodes have they added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Nine so far, seven of which are completely new to the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Would be much more optimistic to see them uploaded to a platform they're more likely to remain on than one that could be C&D'd to death at any moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Good point. Best to watch the 3 years of Mid-South up on that channel asap in case WWE decides to take it down for the two months they have up now and for the next two months they might put up next year.

sek69 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Speaking of, I wonder what the rights would be for rips of those DVDs Bill's ex was selling before she sold them to WWE. I see rips of other wrestling DVDs out that seem to survive the banhammer, but that might be more luck than any legal standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 If you plan to binge the episodes already added, don't skip the 12-30-81 show despite it being a year end retrospective clip show. They go over the Dusty-Kabuki feud and the promo with War Paint Dusty looking like Rambo is beyond words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornette's racket Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 They've added a lot more 1982 mid south. It's not a complete year but it's not far off and they've put up some 1983 from January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Niiiiiice. I have some 1983 Mid-South (and other NWA footage) acquired online, and it's really poor VQ. I can't wait to watch this good stuff - I sampled the oldest ep they had the other day - 1981, I think - and it was gorgeous video. Next, please: Georgia and Mid-Atlantic. They used to put that stuff on the 24/7 TV channel. ETA: Just counted. 51 eps of Mid-South online at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I will graciously give them credit for getting so much up so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 So I guess it really was the plan to start adding vault stuff after they filled out the "top three" brands. I would hope the Mid Atlantic stuff is next since there was a pretty full run made available on 24/7. IIRC the Georgia stuff they own looks pretty rough so I wouldn't be surprised if they pass on adding that unless they found better quality in whatever stash they found the Last Battle of Atlanta in.

Rough picture quality wise ? Or just bits missing and not complete. Several of the wcw nitros and ppvs have a message at the start about it being "Shown in the most complete form possible" I did hear that when wwe got the wcw stuff (which included everything had been assumed by wcw when it bought JCP), that it was supposed to be a mess. Some of it wasn't labeled correctly or at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bischoff and Cornette seem more diametrically opposed to each other than just about anyone I can think of in wrestling, and that includes Russo and Cornette.

Some of it wasn't labeled correctly or at all. The video of the Georgia stuff was like 27th generation VHS quality. Some of the WCCW stuff had some occasional video warps (probably from being stored in less than ideal conditions in the Texas heat I'd imagine), but the Georgia stuff was just poor from start to finish. I remember people talking at the time half joking that it looked like they ripped it off YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
