With many folks quarantining due to the coronavirus pandemic, here are some overlooked classics that you can watch while you wait things out.

The spread of COVID-19 or the coronavirus has altered almost every aspect of life, and pro wrestling is no exception. Just about every promotion has halted operations in an effort to slow down infections, and the ramifications of these postponements and cancellations have brought out the best and worst of those in the industry.

With most people hunkering down because of the pandemic and with the amount of first-run wrestling programming dwindling, wrestling fans now have some time on their hands to sift through the seemingly endless amount of wrestling content available to relive regardless of your grappling tastes.

For their part, WWE is offering its WWE Network streaming and video library service free of charge during these uncertain times, granting access to a lifetime’s worth of content from the eponymous company and past promotions like World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and Smoky Mountain Wrestling, among others.

But with so many options to choose from, picking what you want to watch can be overwhelming. Well, in keeping with what Daily DDT’s own Bruce Lee Hazelwood and Kevin Parvizi have provided already, this piece will give you some classic matches to enjoy while you wait out the virus.
