Night of Champions is the last WWE PPV on Skysports all others will be on Sky box office however they will also be live on WWE Network global.
The reason they're staying on Sky box office is for the casual watcher who doesn't want the network.
Unlocator smart dns is working fine on the network.

Can I ask a question bud?

Does the WWE Network offer all episodes of WCW Nitro and Thunder? Is so, and if you don't mind, next time your on the Network can you check to see if they have anything listed from 3rd April 2000? This was a WCW special which was broadcast between the Spring Break-Out PPV on the 27th March 2000 and the infamous Russo / Bischoff reboot on the 3rd April 2000.

I remember watching the WCW special episode on TNT which I'm sure was hosted by Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan. It was a look back at the heritage of TNA / WCW and the key moments in WCW history. It was a great episode which aired in preparation to the reboot.

I've been requesting this episode on the 2 main wrestling torrent trackers for years without success. It finally turned up about 6 weeks about but wasn't in English :mad:

Any info would be appreciated.

ATM mate only 1995 and 1996 years are available for Nitro, they have only just started to add Nitro episodes though so i'm sure in a few months it'll be there.
The ppv Spring stampede is on there though.
I've attatched a screen shot of the 2000 ppvs for you.

Also, under vault is Clash of Champions which I believe were WCW PPV's.

From what I gather, as they put each show of Nitro on they will put the same episode of RAW up as well. I think the idea is they will slowly build up the catalogue of the MNW.

I'm guessing on that but judging by what i've seen on various sites this seems like the most valid reason.

Spot on bud,if it wasn't for night of champions we would have had it same as everyone else

The casual thing makes me laugh,why pay £20 for a ppv when you can pay £6.20ish for it and watch a host of other program's.no brainier if you ask me ;)

Sorry guys, l wouldn't waste my money on WWE, its the biggest fix on Tv. Similar to British Wrestling.

I watches a American Wrestling programme when the late British Bulldog, was performing. And there was a bout involving about 30 wrestlers in it. The wrestler who started the bout actually won it. And the farce surrounding it.

Sorry buys l think its all fixed and wont watch it I used to watch the Royals, big tag teams, Big Daddy - and with Big Daddy, you knew who would win it.

-gasp- we never knew that it was all scripted, we had no idea that sports entertainment meant it was fixed. How dare you tell us this information, you've broken all of our hearts i'm off to cry in my fixed jack daniels now ;):shocked::D:p:

Arthur, it has been know for ages that matches are pre determined. Let us who like watching it watch it, and we won't say anything about how much a waste of money watching Spurs is. Deal?

Yeah, it's all choreographed, scripted and a great advert for the use of steroids. I used to love the Royal rumble though.

The British Bulldog used to be my favourite (followed closely by Macho Man and The Ultimate Warrior:(:(:(). I have not watched it for years, I stopped after Vince M (do I remember he used to a ref at one stage) had just bought it out.

It all started getting a bit silly in my eyes after that. I was not a fan of the new breed of wrestlers, the daft storylines, the excessive amounts of PPV's and I strongly disliked the "beating" up of women that happened quite frequently. There is/was no need for it in a family friendly entertainment show.

Still, my brother seemed to like it, and a number of work colleagues still enjoy it now.

I stopped watching the WWE years ago but still enjoy their reality based programming and documentaries. I enjoy the stories behind the shows and the curtain being pulled back to reveal how the business works. I suppose I'm more a fan of the wrestling business than the product.
