Thatcher told WWE Network News that WWE purchased all footage from 2001 and 2002 - a total of 48 shows that feature such talents as John Cena, Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore, Charlie Haas, Raven, Shark Boy, 3 Count and others.
No word yet on when we might start seeing HWA footage on the WWE Network but we will keep you updated.

WWE Network added 14 episodes from RAW in 2010 and 2 episodes from RAW in 2011 on Wednesday. It appears these are the first 2011 RAW uploads.
ZitatThere's been a lot of speculation on WWE possibly bringing indie wrestling content to the WWE Network after a few Fan Council surveys were issued this year to gauge interest, specifically mentioning promotions like Ring of Honor, EVOLVE, CZW and several others.
It looks like indies will be coming to the WWE Network soon as Vince McMahon has decided that he does want at least some "hot indies" on the Network, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
WWE issued a survey earlier this fall that included potential price points of $4.99, $9.99 and $14.99. Promotions listed in that survey were TNA and ROH. They issued another survey this fall that asked fans which promotions they were watching - PWG, CHIKARA, EVOLVE, DGUSA, OVW, AAW, CZW, Shimmer, SCW, ROH and FIP.
No word yet on when we may see indies on the Network or which promotions may sign deals with WWE but Meltzer believes the next few months will be very interesting for the business with potential changes. He also speculated on WWE forming alliances with other promotions, similar to what they have done with WWN Live over the past year.

We noted before that Vince McMahon had decided on bringing at least some "hot indies" to the WWE Network but there was no word on which promotions WWE might have started working with.
In an update, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Vince had given the okay to try and make deals with some indie companies but changed his mind just days later. However, there are still talks going on behind the scenes with the idea that Vince may change his mind again.
It's no secret that WWE has mentioned indie content in recent surveys and apparently the results of one survey gave Vince the idea that adding live indie shows would add cost to running the Network without any significant increase in subscribers.

Bring it to the Table hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen! Weiß nicht ob man genug Material zusammenbekäme für eine wöchentliche Show, aber monatlich würd ich mir das echt gerne geben.

Yeah, es gibt ein neues WWE 24 Format über das Wrestlemania 32 Wochenende. Werde ich mir die Tage definitiv reinziehen!

Ich habe mir vorhin WWE 24: Wrestlemania Dallas angeschaut und war natürlich einmal mehr begeistert. Ich liebe diese Backstage Einblicke, ich sehe die Superstars sehr gerne als Menschen hinter der Kamera. Egal ob es die Jungs vom New Day waren, AJ Styles, Zack Ryder, Sasha Banks, Charlotte oder auch die McMahons selbst, es lohnt sich immer wieder dieses Format anzuschauen, auch wenn es leider viel zu selten erscheint. Dieses Mal war es teilweise sehr emotional. Sollte sich wirklich jeder mal anschauen, der das Network hat. Abschließend ein schöner Screenshot.
