Anons, where are you watching old wrestling now that it's all kill on legal sources? I know of a few possibilities but none are perfect
>XWT
The free leech torrents are low quality, the high quality ones are impossible to seed so you'll eventually be screwed
>Internet Archive
Buffers every 5 seconds and I can't find some years
>watchwrestling
Low quality

I guess I can make do, but wondering if anyone has figured out something better.

does the internet archive or 1max even the original version or is that the network version of raw?

It's impossible, I'll be seeding their stuff for days on end and barely get to seed anything. There's not enough people downloading the historical stuff, plus there's some seeders that are hopelessly fast and make it impossible for everyone else.

just imagine it, a /pw/ wrestling archive. all pirated, all unedited and uncensored, and all of it freely available to all. and of course, it would surely have the effect of bringing more traffic here. we have an opportunity to become THE number one spot for old wrestling if we play it right.

Archive and 1max are network versions, but 1max is encoded to a lower quality. XWT has the originals but they're usually VHS quality or something. There are some torrents on XWT that take the high quality network versions and edit in all the missing stuff, but those only cover a few shows and eras.

Just the original network version of Raw, which is good because there's no WWF blurring but you still get entrance songs dubbed over e.g. Victoria's tatu theme. It's worse for old Nitros. an ambitious group of anons could redub them like the Recdub project but it would take years to complete

There's some people doing it, I know most WWE/WWF PPVs have been restored, and I think about half of Attitude Era Raws as well. But it takes ridiculously long to do.

That's actually based. iirc the entrance theme redubbing actually gets worse after the attitude era ended so it looks like ruthless aggression babies have to wait

I found a guy on rutracker (mml2) who uploaded pretty much all of WWE from 1997 to 2023 in decent enough quality, plus WCW from the start of Nitro up to the end. And there's no seeding requirements there, which means you can download as you please but some of the stuff is pretty slow from what I can tell.

Plus his uploads kept the WWE Network chapters, so you can just skip the shit you don't care about pretty easily. I unironically think this is the best option if WWF/WCW is what you're looking for.

They're uploading the entirety of pre-CW NXT to YouTube. They might do Raw and SmackDown too.

It's the Network version.
If you're looking for VHS you can find a ton on XWT with free leech. Personally, I find the quality unbearable on modern screens which is a shame.

>>19595783
They're doing the same for WCW but they remove all of the stuff with Benoit, even if he's just referenced by someone, the entire segment is cut. Even if they eventually get around to Raw and Smack it will be the worst way to watch by far.

That fucking sucks. I really wish they'd change that. Nobody is bothered by seeing Chris Benoit. It's just historical.

No, free sign ups are closed now but they open them from time to time. I have an account there and never paid, but as others have said, keeping a decent upload ratio is very hard.

The Ruthless Aggression era will be unwatchable, especially around the time he becomes a main eventer, considering how often commentary brings up the top guys during unrelated matches.

I just downloaded a couple of shows from the wcw and wwf megapacks and let them seed indefinitely. A 2GB investment giving a 426GB return is p cool. Do that with being early for big PPVs and joshi shows and you'll make out ahead in 24 or 48 hours. My ratio is above a 1.9 with a multiple TB of buffer so I could download every show in 1080p for the next couple years and never worry about it. Never spent a penny but I do hate how there's no point system or ways to earn a personal 24 hour freeleech or some basic bonus that every other private tracker offers

I hate this. I upload a lot of stuff there and often, I'll only end up uploading the same number of GB as the actual file.
