wrestling on freeview - TV Programmes

michael21 · 26-05-2009, 20:47

will there ever be wrestling on any freeview channel?

sauspud · 26-05-2009, 20:55

Probably Not! Nevermind.

batdude_uk1 · 26-05-2009, 21:00

I wouldn't put any money on it, but the rights are coming up for debate at the end of the year, so who knows.

Unless you mean Olympic style wrestling? In which case, that is on Eurosport, I don't know if that is on Freeview.

I doubt this would happen. The contracts for this kind of thing are always tied up with the satelite and cable companies.

Since TWC aka Fight Network went down the pictures you dont see Bristish Wrestling at all except bits on youtube

no1droogie · 26-05-2009, 22:13

Its a shame since i think there is a really big market for it here in the UK.

batdude_uk1 · 15-10-2009, 16:28

Yes, but won't it be a week behind, or that just me?

therightdeal · 15-10-2009, 16:30

You're right, my God what have I done? I've wasted so many years watching this fake rubbish when I could have been watching fantastic real life documentaries like 24 and the Die Hard films where they really do shoot and kill each other.

michael21 · 15-10-2009, 23:04

I am looking forward to tna on virgin1 i use to watch wcw when it was on five

You've also wasted your time bothering to learn correct punctuation.

It would be good for wwe (£££) to put Raw and smackdown on freeview but there dont care about the fan it all about money did any one see HHH pluging his book on Raw i felt sorry for the fan who were there they were looking to see if an wrestler would come to shut him up HeeHee

WWE tried putting some stuff on Channel 4 a few years ago and it was a disaster. You can't blame WWE for wanting to keep its shows on Sky where they are given brilliant coverage.

Yes i use to see wwe heat a 42 min show that did not have the big stars of the wwe i think Raw would be good on freeview wwe (£££) would get more fan and sell more of there things and when there are in the uk TNA is the best for thinking of there fans

Ah yes C4 showed a WWE PPV on a 50 minutes delay, so they could edit out any naughtyness remember people this is 2am

Yea but I think it was just unfortunate that the first one they had the rights to and showed live at 1am, Mae Young decides to get naked
