WWE Puts ECW Shows On Their Network, But.. Quality Apparently Is The Shits

WWE Network uploaded 10 ECW "Supershows" from 1993-95 on Monday.  All of them are in poor quality.  In some cases, it seems almost certain that WWE used second or third generation VHS copies from fans instead of ECW's own tapes.  This includes the Feb. 1995 "Double Tables" show that had The Sandman vs. Cactus Jack Texas Death Match.  What's odd about this is the match was released by WWE on home video back in 2004 in great quality.  They were even able to remove Sandman's entrance music without affecting Joey Styles commentary, which indicates they were working with professional tapes with multiple audio tracks.  On the Network, though, the match and the whole show is in VHS quality, just like the other 9 shows.

The way WWE micromanages every damn thing, you mean they couldn't manage to do better than this? HHMMM. Sounds like someone was being pretty fucking lazy there.
