Best things to watch on the network?

I’ve not been back to it since Episode1 as every episode since that has been something that they’ve already done to death on the normal podcast. I’m going to keep an eye on it to see what comes up, but I think it’s geared towards people who haven’t heard/don’t listen to the regular podcast

I've not listened to a single episode of their regular podcast but I wasn't a fan of the first Network episode at all. Stories I'd heard a million times beore, terrible impersonations, shitty video quality and it went on for days.

I was looking to scan through some ECW big events/PPVs. Does anyone know why the network has some pre-PPV events (the earliest one is Hardcore Heaven '95) but not others, like The Night The Line Was Crossed or the NWA Title Tournament? They have all the Hardcore TVs up so don't know why a lot of this stuff with some fairly significant material is missing.

Some stuff like that is tucked away on Hardcore TV. The NWA Title tournament has a feature on Hardcore TV #71 and the final is on Hardcore TV #72, Night The Line Was Crossed might show up in highlight form on some earlier episodes

The only events on the Network are the actual PPV's (from Barely Legal 97 onwards). The big shows previous to that were just filmed for home video release, certain matches would air on the TV show though. Theres an absolute ton of those shows missing from the Network that id love to see put up.

Except the ones that are on there.  The ones sj5522 mentioned in the initial question.

oh yeah, i read it wrong. I didnt know they'd uploaded any non-ppv events.

It's not so much that they are missing some pre-97 big shows, rather than the three they put up are exceptions. They put them up very early on before they'd really settled into a pattern of uploading archive stuff. IIRC they went up during an 'Extreme Week' or something similar where they chucked up those three shows, a bunch of clips as 'Extreme Moments', and did a live interview with Styles and Heyman talking old ECW and doing email questions.

Once they went on to put all the TV up, I assume they decided putting the old full event tapes was no longer a top priority.

I'm hoping this is the Simmons title win from 92. Never actually seen that match, so would love to see it in full.
