Damn sorry for such a long topic title.
And sorry for another topic, I seem to be filling this board with crap nowadays.
Anyway, well, as we should by now know, Sky have no plans to show Armageddon or Royal Rumble. I've emailed them to confirm that Royal Rumble will not be shown, and I said a few other things. No reply yet, tssk. Anyway, has anybody actually stopped to think that this might be good?
Look at it like this. It looks as if soon Sky will be dropping RAW and Smackdown, and just showing the PPVs. Damn them if they do. After Wrestlemania in March, I have a funny feeling they will terminate the contract with WWE altogether, and just finish with whatever they have left to show, and then be done with WWE. With the Wrestling Channel coming soon, WWE might sign up with them. So why is that good?
Well; they have the rights to WCW and ECW videos, and so if WWE sign with TWC, they will more then likely be shown (especially if TWC is 24 hours). Also, we might get RAW and Smackdown on the actual day of filming; so RAW on Tuesday AND Friday and Smackdown on Friday (after RAW) AND Saturday. When I say day of filming, obviously, they're not gunna stick RAW and SD on at 1am live.
With TWC, if it is 24/7, we should also get Confidential (which I want to see...) and stuff like that.
Basically, if we could be guarenteed that TWC will have better, more convenient WWE coverage, Sky should terminate the WWE contract. The sooner the better. TWC is opening in March, just in time for WMXX. Obviously, Sky will be showing that. But I suspect that will be the WWE's final month on Sky.
So come on WWE, if Sky drop you, you know where to turn!
Yeah, discuss.

Ugh... Vince McMahon can go shag a sheep the greedy get.
It's his fault, he wants to charge Sky far too much for the rights to UK coverage of WWE programming.
If only they could get terrestrial coverage for it, but Channel 4's treatment of it a few years back shows that wouldn't work, unless it was on BBC1 late at night or something, which is a channel with no advert breaks between programmes.
I mean they show boxing, which is just as violent as wrestling in fact probably more so, so why not, if they can afford it.

See...it's unfair! *sob*
Ah just checked on the site and no it doesn't. :cD
Wasn't last time I checked...
Lipey, isn't Friendly TV available on NTL?
Bah... :(
Should be available to NTL users by September 2004. :cD
I'm on NTL Cable and I don't know if they have any plans to add The Wrestling Channel to it's current selection.
Isn't it for digital viewers only?
Why can't you get TWC Lipey?
