"WWE and Sky...new deal!"

WWE have announced a new 5 year deal with Sky in the UK. The deal covers January 2005-2010. Sky will carry Raw, Smackdown, Heat, Velocity, Bottom Line, Afterburn and Experience as well as six PPVs which won’t have a price tag on them. The other eight PPV shows, including the big four, will become PPV events instead of free TV specials.

Hey, we're getting a new show, and we're still getting the PPVs, so we can't whinge. YeY!

shows that WWE is more an entertainment progran than a sporting event i think

That's what he just said...

WWE is dying, though.

WoW, im from Phila Pa are the rest of the people here from the UK

The majority of the people on ukchatforums are from the United Kingdom (UK).

Uk were sre you people from? Im from Phila Pa were are you, speaking of course to everyone.?

Only because the Americans are starting to switch off now so they have to try and recoup the loss somewhere. That's the reason i think they're doing this whole RAW and Smackdown here in the UK

Well, I'd say the WWE said that us in Britain would have to pay for all the PPV's and Sky 'improved' the deal slightly. The WWE have been wanting us to pay for a while.

If this was about 5 years ago i would be complaining, however as most PPV's nowadays are a load of crap i can't say i'm that bothered

Look on the bright side, Vince will now have more money to throw at lumbering botch-jockeys and random celebrities.

Too bloody right we can whinge! Sky once again trying to milk us dry when they already charge £50 for a full Sky subscription (including FilmFour).

Ah well, I'm not THAT bothered because:

a) I don't have the Sports channels anyway
b) I have my mate tape every event for me
c) I'll get the event off E-Bay the next day for a considerably cheaper price on a DVD.
