It's not exactly as advertised, some ways for the better, some for worse:
-Not every PPV is available at the jump. For example, go to WCW 1983, and Starrcade is not there. WWE 1987 only has Survivor Series. WWE 2001 only has four events, etc. So there is a sizable chunk missing.
-Two old territories are in the schedule rotation, ECW Hardcore TV, & World Class. Welp, they picked two good ones. It looks like after episodes air, they add them to the archives, because there is only one World Class ep available for VOD, and zero ECW (as I type this).
-Live stream was showing the Bret vs Shawn "Face Off" DVD when I logged on. You can start from the beginning, or jump on live.
-"Old School" appears to be old MSG shows in full. FUCK YEAH! Four available right now, from 1975-1991. There is a 1981 show with Bob Backlund vs Stan Hansen in a cage that is getting watched by this guy immediately...oh wait, "PROBLEM LOADING FILE" message followed by a bunch of auto attempts to load, with the only way to stop it being to turn off the Roku and start over. Welp. I'll chalk that up to Day 1 issues.
-RAW Replays are 1993, 1998, 2013-2014. Smackdown is only 1999, 2012-2014. Again, it's not even every ep during those years.
-Main Event, NXT, Superstars archives are only very recent eps (as in the last two-three weeks).
-Live first run stuff: There is a pre & post for Smackdown & RAW. They don't go dark during RAW & SD, they do air things. Looks like Thursdays have Main Event, NXT, Superstars back to back to back at 7, 8, 9 (central).
-There is something called "This Week in WWE" that airs all weekend long. Looks like a wrap up show for the week. Maybe this is the SportsCenter type wrap up thing they were hinting about.
