"WWF Pay-Per-View Shocker!"

Right, I was reading through the UK Gold text page (411) and I came across some shocking news. Sky Sports are now planning to air all WWF events on Sky Box Office, after the huge success of the Royal Rumble, which is the highest-grossing wrestling event to ever be aired on Sky Box Office. Sky have bought the rights to every event now also.

In my opinion, this is a terrible move by Sky, but it's sad that people will actually pay 14.99 for a wrestling event, on top of a 30 pound + Sky subscription. I think the nerve that Sky have to charge extra is not only ludacris, but disgusting. I really do hope that they do what they do with the boxing, where they air it on Sky Sports about a week after being shown live. It's a longshot, but possible.

This really sucks, and I hope that Sky change their plans, or my WWF video collection as I know it may be doomed!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
Shaun.

I agree, and with them now all costing money, we could be spending just a tad too much.

16 PPVs?

Pay-per-views should be just that. I don't have Sky Sports so I don't care. Just be thankful you've been able to watch PPVs for free up until now. You can't blame Sky really, if people will pay for PPVs, like they did for the Royal Rumble they're going to want to make as much money as possible.

No complaints.

Same with me.

:-)

I stopped watching WWF PPVs and shows a while a go, now I only watch the ocasional smackdown on Saturday mornings. But still keep up with what's happened. It's just that WWF entertaining anymore. So I don't care about this PPV change, I knew it would happen at some stage.

So I'll just watch the complaints roll in. :-D

All the heavy dudes on RAW.

Well, I won't believe it until Sky confirm it. They should've done it with WrestleMania really, considering it's the biggest PPV of the year.

There's gonna be 16 PPVs now, right?? I'll probably only watch the Smackdown shows though, I can see RAW being dull for me.

What?? And they are also planning 16 PPV's month! 16 times of £14.99! Sky suck! Ahhhh, life's a b***h!

This is a stupid move by Sky.
Oh how much i hate them now.

I always stay up till 4 o'clock when the PPV's are on and watch them, but now i cant do that unless i pay.

Its about £180 if you want to watch all the PPV's in a year.
Thats ridiculous.

rrrrrgggggg

Im gonna march up to Sky Sports headquarters and kick all thier butts.
..............who's with me?

Im not paying that every month, im not paying it ever, i think they'll stop charging when no body buys it, everyone bought the Rumble as it was a one off (they thought)
