WWE Network Will Show Over The Edge 1999 PPV - Full Listings

By John Canton /

The WWE.com website has provided a listing of all the WWE/WCW/ECW PPVs that will be available when WWE Network launches on February 24th. There are over 400 shows listed,wWith most of them running 3 hours in length, we're talking about an enormous supply of wrestling footage that fans can't get anywhere else. Sure, you could find them on youtube maybe, but chances are the quality won't be good there. Plus, it will be much more organized when WWE Network has them listed. The listing of Pay-Per-Views includes every WWE PPV that has ever happened. What's most interesting is that WWE Over The Edge 1999 is on there. As most wrestling fans know, Over the Edge 1999 was the event held in Kansas City where WWE superstar Owen Hart died while he was in a Blue Blazer costume. Owen repelled down from the rafters, but something went wrong and he went crashing into the ring. He died soon after. The fall wasn't shown on the broadcast, but announcer Jim Ross informed the audience what happened. The show continued even though some performers were visibly shaken by what happened to their friend. The question is, what will happen if somebody chooses to view Over the Edge 1999? Will they get the actual broadcast that featured Ross telling fans what happened? At this point we don't know for sure. The best guess is that it would likely be edited so they didn't air the part where Owen did a promo as the Blue Blazer and we wouldn't see Ross talking about what happened either. The other question relates to Chris Benoit. He was featured on many PPVs that took place in WCW and WWE. Apparently, WWE will have some kind of warning message prior to the event mentioning that they don't condone what Benoit did in the final days of his life. Again, we don't know exactly what it will say. However, I think they're making the right decision by including him in the shows and putting that warning on before the show airs. As far as the WCW & ECW PPVs go, there are some hidden gems on there. A lot of fans like to laugh at WCW and how it ended, but there were a lot of great shows too. The main events may have been dominated by older guys, but if you want to see young Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero or Chris Jericho matches there are plenty to choose from. There are some very good ECW shows too. Fans can relive some brutal matches, but also see that ECW was more than just a place for blood and weapons. There were a lot of great workers there too. At this point, the WWE Network will only launch in the United States of America, so if you live anywhere else in the world this doesn't apply to you. Hopefully by the end of this year or early next year it will be available in other parts of the world, but for now all we know is that it's launching in America on February 24.
