I really wish they would add some of the B shows like the 80s and 90s Superstars, Action Zone, WCW Saturday Night, etc.

No. They've got another month of smackdown uploads then they're all set wih raw and smackdown. Well get some new shot soon Maybe later in the year.
It's really fascinating how dog shyt Raw was in 1993. To the point that between the awful shows and DIRT CHEAP low rentocity of it all, it's amazing that Raw made it to 1994, let alone 2017. Just the way that they'd run angles was enough to make you scream wtf. Raw was immediately their official flagship show once it started, yet they'd do something like the Razor/Kid upset and not follow up on it for NINE WEEKS. Bret and King are heading for a match at Summerslam and they've both been on the show twice in 3 months. One week they had King come out, not even mention Bret, but break Tiny Tim's uke for no reason other than to get some cheap heat. But not for the feud. Just for him. So he could show up again in a month.
There's a good 2 month period where the Steiners and Money Inc were trading the tag titles back and forth on house shows. The Steiners never got promo time so they never talked about it on Raw when they were squashing jobbers, but Money Inc got to do promos for them yet never actually promoted the house shows. And then, when they have a blow off cage match at the Summerslam Spectacular a week before Summerslam, all the time they had spent on TV for the prior few weeks was to in building for a feud with Razor and 123 Kid instead.
Legit the best part of Raw in the summer of 1993 is Lex Luger. The sit down interviews they did with him that were out of character and talking about his personal life are basically exactly like what they did with Mankind and Goldust in 1997, but he comes off very likable and a dude you really do want to see beat Yoko. Dying at the one where Vince point blank asks him if he was doing steroids and Lex makes an emphatic point to say that the WWF doesn't have any steroid usage anymore.
Actually, it's amazing WWE even made it out of 1993. The places they were running Raw could seat like 1000 max, one place was legit rec center that even ROH wouldn't run nowadays. shyt was so janky it didn't even have a ceiling or lighting.

Just watched Angle/Kane from WM18, shyt is a really dope match that brehs should check out. Angle is one of the GOAT's obviously but Kane was so fukking underrated in his prime man, Jesus that guy was more athletic and did more cool shyt than Taker but Taker always gets the credit (I'm a Taker stan too though) 
Damn got a botchamania reel of gifs
Is that all from one show?
No. From a few different ones from June-August. shyt was just a disgrace week in and week out with like...one good match a month. Even the squashes were usually dog shyt unless the Headshrinkers were in the ring.
I ran through the 93 Raw's a few months back and loved itIt's really fascinating how dog shyt Raw was in 1993.

Probably was nostalgia but I liked the simplicity of it all, although Rob Bartlett was
I'd rather listen to Art Donovan than Rob Bartlett
I mean they are enjoyable for what they are, precisely because they're simple and nostalgic to 2017 eyes. Plus 45 minutes long. But we're talking shows with a Bastion Booger squash (or god forbid a longer match) followed by an Adam Bomb squash followed by a MOM squash for what feels like 3 months straight. Once in a while you'll get something good like Bam Bam vs Bret (GREAT chemistry, stunning this and the KOTR match were the only ones televised they had together) or Marty vs HBK or Quebecers vs Steiners. Then some weeks your featured match is Crush vs Bastion Booger. Or Doink vs Randy Savage where Doink utterly dominates and Macho has to win via roll up after a distraction via midget.

I couldn't make it through it. When the network first dropped my plan was to watch all the Raws in order. Those early years were too bad and I had to skip ahead to 96.
