Short answer is no one knows

The press release said select historic content so it could be anything

If I'd to guess it'll be old raw smackdowns and ppvs I doubt much if any of wcw and ecw moves to Netflix and most of their documentaries will go to YouTube

 

They already have stuff on Netflix available January 1st


Looked yesterday and noticed it

 

There will reportedly be "very little" WWE archive content on Netflix:

"The answer is ‘not much’. There’ll be all the current shows... All the pay-per-views, everything is going to be on Netflix. As far as your archives, there will be some, but very little.

When everything starts on January 1st, they’re going to have roughly forty pay-per-views, will be the only thing up. Just intermittent, some recent, some from years ago.

There’ll be no WCW, it’s all WWE. No Mid-Atlantic, no Mid-South Wrestling, no World Class. None of that tape library stuff. People didn’t really watch a lot of it so that’s what happened."

Given all the hype around WWE moving to Netflix, I thought I would start watching it again and started with last week's RAW, NXT, and Smackdown episodes. Haven't watched week to week since I was a boy back in the mid-2000s. Watched a bit off and on from about 2011-2015 too.

* me, I can't stand the way it's presented anymore.

Feels like they've just turned it into a concert. Every entrance feels like a chance for the audience to sing and dance along with the wrestler. Barely any actual focus on the wrestling from the fans either with everyone dressed like cartoon characters.

Also feels like there's far too many superstars to actually fit into their shows. Absolutely all over the place already trying to work out the storylines and who's involved with who.

Will watch the Netflix premiere of RAW tonight and give it a few weeks, see if it hooks me more. But have to say I think I preferred how it was back in the early to mid 2000s.
