Apparently a Sky employee mentioned this on a forum.

I bet it gets its own channel like the F1, and we get 24 hour content. Not much else.

Its not really what I want, as all I am really interested in now is the nostalgia stuff from 1990-2003/4 sort of time.

Same here, all I want is access to the old PPV's.

[Gibbo]

Do they not provide like a web app to go alongside it?

Fwiw UFC fight pass is very similar I imagine because of their deal with BT, as far as recent PPVs go you can't watch the last 4(ish) but the rest of the library is abailable to you.

It's a bit ****e really, but you can see why Sky would kick up a fuss.

Loads of 'Where is our network' chants yesterday at RAW

No doubt they will be edited out

[MrShawnMichaels]

No details on the Network. Sky as part of the new rights package signed earlier this year have got all the PPVs on Box Office, so the pull of the Network, which is you can get all the PPVs for 9.99 isn't there. All the first run content is on Sky so the point of the Network in the UK is what? Just re-runs of **** Raw episodes and older PPVs?
