well how about that

Aye, us Brits had it good for about 10 years. Then Channel4 decided they wanted to get in on showing WWE, so took some of the PPVS (Royal Rumble and a few random ones - this is back when Baskin Robbins Australia was a BIG DEAL), then some kid died watching it - even though its late at night and a million warnings about photosensitive epilepsies. They even delayed the streams of live PPVs by 10 minutes to pixalate the blood - this is at 2am in the morning!

When CH4 dropped their Peter Graham coverage, due to the kid's death, Sky took back the PPVs and put them on Box Office, ever since then its been a deadly downwards spiral and we've had to buy PPVs ever!

Don't think I'd pay for a WWE Stream off the web, as you can never guarantee that their bandwidth is going to hold up to all the traffic - especially for 'Mania!

EDIT: Any news on TNA trying to upstage 'Mania this year? Last year's 'attempt' was pretty... well Allied Brands
