On the last day of 2018, we told you via Twitter that we had a very good idea on the classic content for January 2019 and that we’d be sure to tell you all as soon as the details had become as firm as possible. Well, we’re ecstatic to say that the day has finally come! As such, WWE Network News can exclusively reveal that January’s classic content will be:

WWF Superstars from 1992! From April 1992, to be precise. This date is so exact for a reason. As we’ve mentioned here before, Superstars of Wrestling (the show’s original title) is mired in legal issues on several fronts. To the point that WWE has been known to go out of their way to remove all visual and audio references to the name from archival clips. While feasible for the odd match, this issue has always led to WWE shying away from releasing the earlier episodes in full. Thus, beginning in April 1992 is the absolute best compromise, as this is when the name was shortened but Superstars was still the undisputed A-show. Of course, now that the classic version of Superstars is arriving on the WWE Network, WWE can choose to fill in any gaps whenever they wish. They’ve just chosen to start at the point of least resistance for now.

So, when is it coming and how much exactly are we getting? Monday the 21st of January is the answer to your first question. As for how much, we only have an official lock on a handful of episodes for now, but we’ve been told by an extremely reliable source that over 30 episodes are coming (bringing us to around the end of ’92 from the above starting point) either all on Monday or by the end of January and we have no reason to think otherwise. Of course, we’ll be sure to give you an exact number (with a full episode list if we can) before the 21st.

So there you have it, you finally have your answer to the burning question of January’s classic content on the WWE Network. Are you disappointed that it isn’t Superstars from the mid-80’s (despite the legal issues)? Are you happy to see 1992 WWF finally get some proper representation on the streaming service? I know that you’ll all want to have your say in the comment section, so have at it!
