Yeah, just came here to post that.

I'll be honest, I'm pretty pissed off.

I smell a last minute intervention by Sky.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

We'll probably get the Canadian version after all.

Or maybe it'll be an actual TV channel over here, under the name of "Sky Sports WWE". Pretty much like what they do with Sky Sports F1, Sky Movies Disney and what they did during the Ryder Cup, with Sky Sports Ryder Cup.

Personally, I would have liked an explanation for the last minute delay.

It's feels like a bit of a dick move to wait until around twenty minutes before we're due to get it, after hyping it up and with one previous delay already happened, and then pull out and pretty much say "Actually, you're not getting the network today".

Yep. They've really mishandled the launch over here.

Raw will be interesting next week though.

Are they over here next week?

I don't mind Sky Sports F1, but I shudder to think what Sky Sports WWE would be like.

I'm not paying for a Sky subscription, then the WWE Network/channel on top. No way.

I can see Sky cutting a deal though. Why would anybody pay £14.99 a month to watch on Box Office when they can get the Network for £6.25? Surely Sky would prefer the lower fee/or part of it than get nothing.

*Epilepsy Warning*

I have 2 weeks of NXT to catch up on.
Nice.

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Just going to leave this here.

NSFW: show

WWE recent changed their Mania 31 promo poster. If the poster means possible big future pushes, then good news for Ambrose and bad news for Barrett and Big E

I honestly can't believe Big E was on the banner in the first place.

Token black guy.

Now Henry is the token black guy.

Can't wait to hear the piped in cheers!

*is watching the WWE Network as we speak*

Just watched Chris Jericho's Monday Night War. Not sure how the episode was going to go down since he came into the WWF in the later stages of the War. Not enough of his stuff in WCW in the episode to show why he wanted to leave.

The Rock's episode is dropping tomorrow. Going to be a good one.

I hope they have an episode for the solely for the lower to midcard guys. Really to show that an Attitude Era card was stacked from bottom to top. Needs Steve Blackman.

Brilliant moves by WWE on RAW tonight. I'm very excited for the upcoming shows and for Survivor Series now.

Bryan was asked about WrestleMania 31 and said he will be heartbroken if he can't compete. Bryan said they are hoping he will be ready for WrestleMania 31 but he will be disappointed if he's not able to perform.

Rey Mysterio will be in Buffalo for tonight's WWE RAW. Vince McMahon notified his inner circle of this over the weekend. The creative team is actively working on concepts to reintroduce him as a regular starting soon. It remains to be determined if Rey will be on television tonight. He may simply meet with officials and begin plotting his return. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that Mysterio will return to WWE television, although it appears likely. Rey Mysterio was last seen backstage at a recent Lucha Underground TV tapings in Los Angeles where the he visited friends with his son, Dominic, who has also appeared in the past on WWE TV. Rey has made it no secret that he is burned out, like CM Punk, and is looking to take a break from wrestling once his WWE contract expires in the spring. Sources say he is interested in acting in Mexico as well as doing other non-wrestling projects

The four-hour telecast also will air in primetime in North America at 7 p.m. ET on your pay-per-view provider, including DirecTV, Dish, AT&T U-verse, Comcast, Verizon Fios and all cable systems in the United States, and in Canada on Bell ExpressVu TV, Rogers, Shaw, Sasktel and Telus. Check your local listings for availability. The show also will be available on the “Flipps” app on iTunes or Android ...

The show will be available in English and in Japanese via the second audio program (SAP) button on your TV. GFW will reveal the North American announcers for the event in the near future.

We first reported last month that Jarrett met with Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff to apparently work out a deal that would allow ROH talents who are scheduled to appear on the show to remain on the card. ROH has a clause in their contracts prohibiting their talent from appearing on pay-per-views for another wrestling promotion. It appears as if that fell through as we have learned that there are some major issues with ROH talent being pulled from the Tokyo dome show.

Really bad news for ROH wrestlers since they lost out on Wrestling Kingdom 9, the pay for that event, and possibly all future NJPW related work because of ROH management.

Used the spoiler tags since it gives away his debut date.

It's still very possible that Orton misses Survivor Series, despite being expected for the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match. Orton was pulled from local advertising for the pay-per-view, which takes place in his hometown of St. Louis. It was said that there's a good chance Orton misses Survivor Series but because The Condemned 2 is a WWE movie, they can always give him a day off to work the pay-per-view.

WWE signed a new five-year TV deal with BSkyB this past January for a major rights fees increase. With the new deal, it was announced that all pay-per-views would air on Sky Sports Box Office. Up until this year, 4 pay-per-views would air on Sky Sports at no extra charge for people who have the channel, while the remaining shows were on Sky Box Office at £14.95 per event.

Some other sheet news include the first episode of Lucha Underground ended up being one of the most watched shows on the El Rey Network and Sky Sports denying rumors they were involved in the WWE Network's delay in the UK

Id watch Lucha Underground if DirecTV carried el Rey in HD. As it is, its standard def and its window boxed (black bars on all 4 sides) so the picture ends up being small as hell on my 47 inch TV. I watched the main event from the first show on YouTube and it was great.
