Correctly indexing WWF PPVs and Monday Night Raw

I have a folder that contains episodes of Monday Night Raw 1997. They are named in the format:

 

WWF.Monday.Night.Raw.01.06.97.avi

WWF.Monday.Night.Raw.01.13.97.avi

 

etc. 

 

Plex doesn't index these correctly at all. What should I do to get correct metadata about these episodes? It might not be available anywhere.. 

 

I also have a folder of PPVs, named in the format:

950122.Royal.Rumble.1995.CD1.avi

950122.Royal.Rumble.1995.CD2.avi

 

These should be more easily scrapable, there ought to be information on imdb about these PPVs. What could I do to scrape these better?

Hi there,

Had a quick play with the file names and plex can certainly scrape the royal rumble stuff, remove the date at the beginning and put it in a movie section. It found was Royal.Rumble.1995.CD1.avi gave the cast, posters, decription date, loads of info.

Not sure about the raw stuff,

Ok cool. How did you play around with that? Is there some way to input a test filename to see what Plex scrapes it as, without having any actual file?
