"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!

i agree with GP.
i'm NOT impressed with the amount of things that have gone PPV. i think doing the big 4 for free should've been a base requirement...

they'd better step their game up then, if i'm gonna have to pay for the big events then i'd better WANT to watch them....

So, we get everything we already get, except we get Experience, which I believe is aimed at the younger audience, and 2-4 PPV's less that are free and we lose free Wrestlemania. Doesn't sound like a great deal to me. Sure, it stays on Sky for the next 5 years but I think the cash cow just got milked.

I have my reasons for disliking having to pay for PPVs and now that you have to pay for the big 4, I'm not impressed.

Pretty good news really, experience should be a nice change.
