10 Major Shows Missing From The WWE Network

1. WWE Donnybrook Theater

If there’s one thing that’s better than terrible wrestling, it’s a terrible wrestling-themed show without any actual wrestling on it.

Back in the dark days of the mid-90s, WWE tried to prove they were still down with da kids by producing a show called Donnybrook Theater. Because if there’s one thing that’s going to show how hip you are, it’s naming the show after an expression that hadn’t been in widespread circulation since the days of silent movies.

Donnybrook Theater was Vince and company’s stab at a Saturday Night Live/Mad TV type sketch show, sort of like an obscure, terrible spinoff of Tuesday Night Titans.

The pilot – and that’s all that was ever filmed – was a disaster, with Todd Pettengill narrating a couple of unfunny segments (with a dodgy accent), including Yokozuna and Fuji playing cards, only to be interrupted by ‘The Huckster’ (played by Howard Finkel), who was then sat on by Yoko.

It’s abysmal and, while you’re not missing much if you never, ever see it in your life, it should still be on the Network. It’s an odd piece of ephemera and, since it once aired on WWE 24/7, there’s no real reason why it shouldn’t be.
