No thanks, NWA, but the only NWA I need to see is on WWE Network with the old Mid Atlantic footage they have for us.

The only two matches from this list I would be interested in subscribing is the Harley Race/Andre the Giant match and the Kevin Von Erich/Chris Adams match. I'd rather wait for the WWE Network to upload more of the territories (which would probably be years from now but worth the wait) or go on YouTube and search their content.

Eh, it's not for me. The only NWA stuff I'm really in to is JCP.

It'll be on there eventually, but I imagine it's not at the top of their list of priorities.

WWE Network has nothing posted from Mid-Atlantic and has not mentioned any intentions of doing so. I doubt they ever will. Even judging by the posts here, no one knows, or cares, about old territories, other than some scarce JCP love....the NWA was so much more than one company. The Houston footage they will show is very interesting for collectors and historians. WWE own a lot, but dont show most of what they have...it would expose the garbage they showed during the same time....Bruno and Hogan matches or Flair and Brisco matches? No comparison. Hence why Bruno and Hogan never could draw in traditional NWA markets...Black Sunday is a perfect example of it. It was like offering a kid of today with an Atari 2600...The WWF and WWWF was generally inferior product to many territories affiliated with the NWA. The one problem is the aspect ratio that they are employing. There is some stretching on the edges that I find distracting....should have kept it 4:3 with bars on the side. Ive subscribed, and havent for the WWE network.

How does Vince not own this footage? Why should he own the footage if it is most likely not going to be on the WWE Network like all the other wrestling libraries he owns? He should be selling the video libraries back to the owners.

He should be selling the video libraries back to the owners. What I meant was that I'm surprised they he didn't own that particular library already. He went on a buying spree for a while. I thought he had bought everything except for modern day indy NWA tapes. I wish Vince would sell off the libraries he had no intentions of using too. I know it isn't going to happen though. He sit on them until the day he dies out of spite.

Why would he sell them back when he can make money on them whenever he pleases? They didn't have to sell them to Vince. He put an offer out there and they accepted.
Plus when documentaries are made and people die etc he can use certain footage if he pleases.
Hopefully tna,'goes outta business soon and he buys their library aswell.

According to WrestleZone they tried to buy this library and were outbid. Some higher up that's been with the company almost 20 years got fired over it. Hopefully tna,'goes outta business soon and he buys their library aswell. I don't see Vince buying the rights to TNA. If anything because the casual WWE fans that don't know about it might wonder what other promotions they don't know about it and start seeking them out and we know Vince doesn't want that. But more importantly, why would you want any wrestling company to go out of business? That's one less place for guys to work, not to mention all the non-wrestling jobs that will be lost.
