Previous Buckets
When the service debuted it did so with six, more specialized, buckets. Around April 4, 2007 they were combined and pruned into the current, more broad, four. This was done, according to the free "Month Preview" show hosted by Jack Korpela to make things easier for Classics viewers.
The original six buckets and their programming were:
- Hall of Fame - Featuring only the Okerlund hosted biography and matches of a particular Hall of Famer.
- Big Ones - Past pay-per-views
- Specials - Home video releases and network specials
- ECW - The History of ECW show (then hosted by Tazz alone)
- Prime Time - Any past wrestling programming that would have originally aired in or around "prime time," including Monday Night Wars, which aired as one program.
- Old School - Recorded house shows
Over time the "ECW" bucket was expanded to "Territories - ECW" and began to incorporate shows from the "territorial days" of the business. Later still the name was changed to its current "TV Classics" when it started housing the programming found in the "Prime Time" bucket, which was removed altogether. The "Old School" and "Big Ones" buckets were combined, keeping the "Big Ones" name, and becoming a bucket for any and all larger shows. "Hall of Fame" was renamed to the less restrictive "WWE Legends" and began to house material from the "Specials" bucket, which was also removed.

Famous quotes containing the words previous and/or buckets:
“Our talk of external things, our very notion of things, is just a conceptual apparatus that helps us to foresee and control the triggerings of our sensory receptors in the light of previous triggering of our sensory receptors.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The great British Library—an immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or “pure English, undefiled” wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
