Huh? Whats this guy on about?

A recent post made me realise that i could be missing wrestling on tv in England, because i never knew it was on. Therefore, i though i would start this post. So what shows do we get in England at present. Assuming that you have the Full Sky digital package, what is available. I am aware of Raw and Smackdown and ppv's on Sky Sports (DUH LOL) But what else do we get in England? This can include any sort of wrestling (pro or other wise). I also know that Sumo is on EuroSport Uk from time to time LOL If anyone knows of a way to get foreign TV channels (and hence more wrestling programs) then that would be welcome aswell! So am i missing anything? cheers ChUnK!

are they standard channels on american tv? or do you have to pay extra for them? do you think they would have those channels in a hotel? what channels do you get luch on? cheers, ChUnK!

i just skim read your post so i may have missed it, but ho wmuch will you be chargin for them?

thanks for the tip. I read in the details that the hotel has tv's with free "HBO" whatever that is (im guessing home box office?) What wrestling is broadcast on that tv station? Does anyone know?

Yeah, i understand that. I assume that by bringing in americans, they can get more ppl in, and then their popularity grows so they go to bigger venues etc. Seems like a good action plan, its just when ever anything like this happens it seems that the long term fans (which im not pretending to be - im new to FWA) kind of loose out. You cant stay stuck in the past though and im sure that the long term fans will appreciate the americans aswell.

Did you ever get Japanese TV with your old sky connection? Im wondering if you need a bigger dish for it? By the way, where did you get that pic from, pretty sweet!

Ive never watched lucha before, and ive got a question as well. How do you define Lucha? Sure its a wrestling style, but how would you define it as being different from other styles? Just wondering.

Yeah, i understand it would be a lot of hassle, thats why i was wondering if anyone else had done it? If they had then i thought they might be able to share how they did it with the rest of us. I think the frequencies of foerign channels are printed in satelliete monthly magazines by the way.

has anyone tried retuning their sky (digital or analouge) dishes to pick up foreign channels? Ive heard you can do it with the listings in the back of Satellite TV magazines. Perhaps you could pick up a foreign channel carrying wrestling? ChUnK!

Damn right, i would love to see that! If they can take the risk with some of the crap they put on Sly, why cant they do it with a wrestling show? ChUnK!

I wanted to go, but its too soon after uprising. I couldnt persuade my lift to London to drive all the way up there again. Its a shame as i was impressed by Uprising and would liked to have gone. Are there any more FWA shows this year (big ones, not trainee ones). Do you know how much tickets will go up to? ChUnK!

Will do, a mate of mine aske dme if was gonna go because he was going, so i said yeah. Coming off the back of British Uprising (which blew me away) i wonder how this show will do, ill let you know what i think. ChUnK!

Weve heard about a possible ECW break away show, that would be taped and would include just the ECW stars under the ECW name. We'll instead of that, how awesome would a cruiser weight show be? They could give the show another name, and air it in additin to Smackdown and Raw. They could use a smaller ring with tighter ropes, and showcase just the crusier weight talent. The Cruiser title would be at the top of the show, and everyone would compete for it. I realise that this would decrease the size of the smackdown roster, but would that really make a difference. The crusiers are not used properlly at all on smackdown, and the cruiser title is, at current, nearly meaningless. I think this would be popular amoung your "mark" fan aswell. Although they wouldnt be used to the style, the high spots and quick action would surely be popular. Just think about it, the likes of: Mysterio, Noble, Kidman, Chavo, Crash, Funaki, Shannon Moore, Tajiri, Credible, Hurricane, Guido and even Jeff Hardy all competeing against each other in a crusier ring on a seperate 1 hour show. It would be awesome! Or is it just me? ChUnK!

Sorry to start a whole thread for this, but i dont know of a better way to get an answer. When were the first survivor series, royal rumble, king of the ring and summer slam events? Ive got a rough idea for each, but i want to be certain im right. cheers, ChUnK!

cheers very much. ChUnK

A few months ago you would have said the same thing about ECW though! So you never know, it could happen. I agree though, the chances are slim. ChUnK!

Thanks very much Arichitek, thats an awesome banner. ChUnK!

I almost forgot Jeriocho! His count down is also awesome! ChUnK

If they rested him for a lengthy spell, then hyped his return, i think they could get him over as a monster again. Look at Kane, just before he came back, he could have been put over as a monster again. Instead they made him do the Kane-rooni, but thats a different story. If Show cam back in better shape and a meaner attitude, i think he could get over as a monster again. They could feed some legends to him like they did for Brock! Step right up RIC! ChUnK!

NWO and DX were both good, i agree. We cant forget the creative genious that went behind the right to censor video either ChUnK!

Ive never seen that faking it show, i always miss it whe its on. Do you have it on tape? I think they've got Jake the Snake Roberts down here for the show that is in my area. I know is hardly the best wrestler ever, but i was considering going to meet him and get his autograph. hmmmmmmmmm, but i duno now? ChUnK!

Yeppers, i knew about WWE Classics. Im pretty sure that FWA on Bravo was a one off for their FWA:Revival Show! ChUnK!

LOL! Some people get all the luck.

Does he sell tapes to guys in the UK? And in PAL format. If he only does NTSC the thats ok for me, but its not good if he doesnt post to the UK LOL! cheers ChUnK
