RAW is in Liverpool today

Nope, Canada got a watered down network with no PPVs

That's **** then....wouldn't bother with it then

[Gingawaria]

Pretty pointless of the channel then...under the terms of wwe,they'd have to offer it exactly as it's offered elsehwere

yep,so wonder if the $9.99/£6.00+ fee will go up if sky are going to give wwe their own stand alone channel

Most likely or it won't include PPV's

Apparently a Sky employee mentioned this on a forum.

Smackdown has been moved from Fri nights to Thurs nights

I just hope we get it eventually, I can't be arsed dealing with VPNs and proxy's.

My worry is we get the watered down **** version of the network that Canada got.

Just frustrating eh!

Despite what Sky is saying publicly, the Wrestling Observer confirmed with sources that ongoing negotiations that delayed yesterday’s UK network launch are related to talks with Sky.

Annoying.

Must be due to Sky selling Survivor Series at £14.99 and WWE app offering it for free

That's the theory at the moment. Seems that Sky feel the network is a breach of their exclusivity agreement w/ WWE. It's all about the PPV revenues.
