10 things we can’t wait to see on the WWE Network

#5 WWF Shotgun Saturday Night (1997-1999)

The Undertaker makes his fearful entrance!

Running for just 138 episodes between 1997 and 1999, Shotgun Saturday Night was an alternative show that had a smaller ring and was usually featured in a public place, to begin with. Nightclubs were the general theme, as the WWE were trialling an edgier product to see what would click with fans.

Once of the most famous moments was The Undertaker tombstoning Triple H on an escalator and Marlena revealing her ‘assets’ on the debut episode of the show.

There is nothing stopping this more adult-oriented show from being on the WWE Network as there are parental controls in place and the whole ECW library is on there, rated as Mature. It is another show that could be done in a month as the episodes were short.

It depends on how much restoration is needed of the original tapes and if there are any legal issues to contend with as there have been with many of the episodes of Raw.

It would be refreshing to see our favourite Superstars of the past in a completely different environment. I have seen the odd episode on YouTube, but it is just not the same when it is ripped from a VHS copy.

WWE can get to restoring these to their original glory and we can appreciate how this little edgy show assisted in making the Attitude Era as popular as it was. It has a good chance of coming this year given the consistency of uploads but it is most likely not high on the priority list.
