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

The video library owned by WWE is extensive.

#4 WWF Superstars (of Wrestling)

There is still a lot of great eighties content to be uploaded!

Before Monday Night Raw debuted in 1993, Superstars of Wrestling was the flagship show for the then World Wrestling Federation. From 1986-1993, it held this mantle, holding the high profile matches between big talent and exposing the magic of the WWF to audiences worldwide.

Despite losing its status as the A-Show in 1993, it continued to act as a B-Show for a while before eventually becoming a highlights show with the odd special match until 2001.

The show saw a good few title changes in its time. It even had one in 1994, where Diesel defeated his pal Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental title belt. It was back when the show only lasted an hour too so it was jam-packed with matches, promos and other segments that enhanced storylines and characters.

The reason I feel this is so important to be added to the WWE Network is because the eighties seemed a bit all over the place with continuity in its programming. Prime Time Wrestling was another show that combined matches from Superstars and Wrestling Challenge along with new content to create a two-hour weekly show which covered everything people had missed.

Wrestling Challenge is another eighties production that used both top and mid-card talent but was not considered the top show.

If WWE upload what was considered the A-Show first, this would confirm that this is the case and also give the fans of the Golden Era an opportunity to connect the Pay-Per-Views to each other as at the moment, the limited eighties content means you have to rely on the promos before the matches to grasp any of the stories.

Unfortunately for the fans of this era, I think WWE will focus on their newer and more relevant content before turning to piecing together the Golden Era. Hulkamania will run wild on the WWE Network one day brother!
