Chris H. sent along the following regarding ECW additions to the WWE Network...WWE has added some more 1993-94 ECW TV to the Network but screwed up some of the episodes, so I thought your readers might want to know. An episode that originally aired on 9/28/93 was supposedly just added, but when you go to watch, it's actually the episode for the following week 10/5/93, a show that has been on WWE Network for some time. Oddly, The version just added is from a VHS source while the version that's been up awhile is from a master copy of the show. Another episode just added is listed as 11/8/94 but it's actually the 11/1/94 episode previewing the second annual November to Remember, which took place on 11/5.
