Haven’t watched wrestling for years and years, but every now and again I get reels/or X clips from the good old days.. it’s usually something like wrestling was wild back in the day, and it just shows 2-5 min clips of the batshit crazy stories.. so nostalgic..
I still can’t believe they got away with so much.. makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

WWE has just launched WWE NXT on YouTube (a NXT exclusive vault channel). It looks like this'll be where they'll upload the NXT archive that used to be on Foxtel/Binge, as well as individual matches.

Up already:
All weekly TV from June 20, 2012-March 20, 2013
5 Takeovers (Arrival, R-Evolution, Brooklyn I, San Antonio & Chicago)
several matches including the Owens-Balor Title Match from the Beast from the East Japan PLE.

As part of my year 12 VCE English, I wrote a wrestling fanzine and then launched it at my school by showing the Piper-Rude match from this tape.
