    Once that deal ended, Setanta Sports (UK version, when that company was still going) grabbed Vengeance \ Armageddon didn't they? I'm sure they announced it about 2 days before the actual PPV. All the rest ended up on Sky Box Office, IIRC, until the new TV deal kicked in.

    I remember Royal Rumble 2004 being on Setanta but I think that was the only PPV on there.

    There wasn't, unless you're on about the Feb 98 episode of Livewire that showed a Light Heavyweight 6 man off Shotgun just before it was on after it.

     

    Sat: 12pm - Livewire

    1pm - Shotgun Challenge

     

    Sun: 12pm - Superstars

    There was. I'm going to disagree with you, I just don't have the proof. It didn't happen once, it was every week for quite a while. Might have been Sundays, and might not have been the first showing of one of them, but it happened. I wouldn't wrongly remember seeing matches then seeing them again an hour later with different commentary. I watched every episode of Shotgun/Metal/Jakked ever shown and every Superstars from 95 onwards.

     

    It's possible it was a different period of time, 97 or 99 but I remember Superstars starting to show matches from Heat and being happy about it.

     

     

     

     

    Edit - This is on wikipedia, which backs up my memory but without any actual facts:

     

    From 1997 until 1999, matches from WWF Shotgun were aired on the international version of WWF Superstars with commentary by Michael Cole and Kevin Kelly.

    When I started watching in 2000 they used to show WWF Metal and WWF Superstars back to back with the same matches but in a different order and commentary team

    There has been alot of changes in the product as well since HHH took over. Longer matches, longer title reigns, better developmental system and actually having storylines for people when they are called up to the main roster.

     

    Back in the mid 2000's they were calling people up and then not using them properly. They would also call people up to the main roster and change their gimmick which they had been using in OVW for months or years.

     

    There is still alot of shit in the product but on the whole things seem to be getting better.

    Ive noticed the people you guys are on about on numerous shows over the years. I think I first really noticed that they were attended loads of shows when I saw them in the front row at Punk's 1st cash in against edge. Ever since ive noticed them at loads of events. They seem to get to at least one event a month.

    My results were:

     

    BNP 50.00%

    Green Party 16.67%

    Lib Dems 16.67%

    UKIP 16.67%

     

    My Constituency results were:

     

     

     

    Green Party 23.36%

    Labour 22.03%

    Lib Dems 16.95%

    Conservatives 16.10%

    UKIP 12.86%

    BNP 8.71%

     

    According to the results I agree with the BNP on Crime, immigration and Economy. UKIP on the Health/NHS and the Green party on Welfare.

     

    Was quite suprised by these results. Never thought I would agree with the BNP so much. Think i will have to go through this again and see if I get the same result.
