About the upcoming WWE Network:

There will also be rotating programming from the company’s vast library, mostly television shows concentrating on old episodes of WWF/E, WCW and ECW programming, which they clearly from the presentation, believed to have the most value to the current audience, and to bring back fans in the late 90s when pro wrestling hit a peak of mainstream popularity. The historical footage will air mostly uncut. Controversial characters that WWE shied away from putting on DVD releases like Chris Benoit or Mel Phillips will appear, although there will be warnings on shows involving Benoit, or on shows where some of the footage would appear to be controversial, whether due to extreme blood, violence or bad taste. Commentary by Jesse Ventura, also edited out of a lot of DVD footage over royalty issues, will air as it first appeared, as well as ring announcements by Gary Michael Cappetta, which, for legal reasons, were also edited out of prior releases. Music is a more touchy issue. Perkins Miller of WWE told us it’s a case-by-case basis, particularly when it comes to 80s pro wrestling when a lot of the hit music of the times was used as entrance music. There will be parental controls available for content that is not considered TV-PG.

Only about 1.5% of the library will be accessible, and very little of it will be old territorial footage. And while they will add new content weekly, they will also remove content.
