The WWE Network has added approximately 100 episodes of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling to the on-demand section of their website. The shows have their own category under the "Vault" section.The shows begin with the 9/12/81 episode and conclude with the 10/22/83 episode just over two years later. Interesting that they pause right as the Starrcade '83 build begins with the huge press conference episode from Florida. Hopefully, more shows will be added in the weeks to come.
But what a treasure trove we have to begin with. From the first shows where Ric Flair as announced as new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, to the 1982 classics such as Brisco vs. Piper and Slaughter vs. Wahoo, to the big feuds between Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood with the teams of Sgt. Slaughter and Don Kernodle and the Brisco Brothers.

Another missing gem is the early October 1981 show where Ric Flair makes his first appearance back in his home area as NWA world champion. Former champ Dusty Rhodes also appears on that show. How they can leave that one out is beyond me.
But in general, most shows are included during the time span covered.
