I find it a discrase that Sky have decided to spit in the face of non Sky Sports subscibers, by romoving it from Sky 1 on Saturday morning from Dec 31 and puting it on Sky sports 3. Well if they continue to do this by wrestlemania, then the WWE have lost a dedicated WWE fan for the past 10 years...

Heh... The only reason I have the sports channels is for wrestling. :) Just gives me more reason to pay with more of it on them. :D

Hee. I'm imagining a meeting between Sky executives and Vince.
Sky: Mr McMahon we have been very pleased with the ratings we've been getting for both Raw and Smackdown. We'd like to renew the contract for th next few years.
Vince: That's great. Live audience figures and ratings are in the toilet in the US at the moment, but another long title run for Hunter will soon remedy that.
Sky: Erm, ok...
Vince: In fact, the UK is our stringest audience at the moment. Which is unacceptable. I need the US to be my biggest market.
Sky: How are you going to do that? Freshen up the roster? Bring in guys with in-ring talent and pull those US audiences back in.
Vince: No, that would be too difficult. What I need is a way to stop people in the UK from watching. This will then make the US figures seem better.
Sky: But, Vince...
Vince: Seriously, have you got any suggestions?
Sky: Well, we currently show most of the shows on Sky Sports 1 and/or Sky One, I guess we could move them all to Sky Sports 3, our lowest rated sports channel and one that most subscribers don't bother with.
Vince: Perfect. Any other suggestions?
Sky: Umm, we could also move the shows to totally unwatchable hours when no-one is awake.
Vince: Mister, you got yourself a deal...

Hmm, we have all the Sky Sports channels, so I'm not really bothered. Bit bad for those of you who don't though, obviously...
this is truly a bad idea.
they're alienating a fair few fans i imagine by removing it from sky 1 altogether..
