Why the hell do they insist on showing some random match from Smackdown a few years ago every week? Why can they not spend the valuable air time doing something worth while such as building a midcard or tag team division? (Actually, thats unfair, Smackdown at least pays lip service to these).

My point is, why do I want to see a match from four years ago? If you want to show old matches, show some classics. They have a video library from three different companies over many many years, yet the best they can do is a few year old Chavo match? For fucks sake.

They're trying to put over Smackdown as a show and a brand equal to Raw instead of a B-Show.

They only have it in the UK right?

I assume that with less commercials breaks and lack of an overrun there isn't actually 2 hours of stuff to play for the UK while there is in the US, so they add that to bump time.

I'd kill for some From the Vault stuff. But lately they've shown some lukewarm stuff and none of the stellar matches.

I agree on some classics, but the crazy part is WWE owns more than 3 companies video libaries

They own the video libaries of:

WWE
WCW
ECW
AWA
Mid Atlantic/Jim Crockett Promotions
Georgia Championship Wrestling
Championship Wrestling From Florida
World Class Wrestling
Smoky Mountain Wrestling
Stampede Wrestling
Ohio Valley Wrestling
XWF

All Chavo matches are classic match.:mad:

Some are brilliant, like when edge returned using jericho's entrance, and seeing randy in his early days was kinda cool. But i definitly see the point made that some are shite. I guess they're good for nostalgia, but no one wants to see re runs of hardcore holly!

WWE should do a from the vault...Bobby Lashley in first grade.

Teacher : Now Bobby, do you know what 2 plus 2 is?

Lashley : NO!

Teacher : We went over this last week...

Lashley : You say you're our teacher and we went over this last week...I say you're a teacher and you're a BATHTURD!

I enjoy 'From The Vault' matches.

As long as they're quite old (2001-04) and contain wrestlers we don't see much of these days.

Nothing worse than watching repeats of Bobby Lashley vs Finlay from 6 months ago... Apart from Hardcore Holly.
