Ughhhh . . . what a lazy update.

This is booth a good and bad month. Bad for me, because I already own all of these matches, but good for people who don't collect PPVs and would like to re-watch some WM matches. It's worth noting that this marks the first time matches where the scratch logo had to be blurred have been posted (not counting last month's official "Attitude Era" match debut, which while it had some blurring, had the turnbuckles covered anyway), giving me hope that some Raw stuff from 2000-2001 will make it there someday.

Nah, the only reason these matches could be posted are that they were cleaned up for the WM Box Set. Unless there's a Best Of Raw 2000, or 2001 set, those matches probably won't see the light of day.

If there was an e-mail addy to send requests, I'd have one ready for Royal Rumble 1988 or more 1980s MSG matches.

I haven't been able to find Austin/Rock at WrestleMania X7 anywhere on the internet or in stores -- so that looks like a good buy.

 

But I don't think I would pay money for anything else on that list.

True, but I thought at some investors conference about three years ago, Linda said they were going through all the footage and taking care of that. As such, I have been under the belief WWE is able to pull up a piece of scratch logo era footage anytime they want, but they would prefer to showcase matches that aren't heavily blurred.
