hallicks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My boss enjoys "outing" my wrestling fandom to pretty much anyone in the office that stops by our department, hoping for derision and embarassment. Today it was the head of HR, who had to check she heard "Wrestlemania" three times before immediately texting her husband asking him to send her the photo of him and the Iron Sheik at her cousin's wedding (possibly to one of his Children). Then she told us about how her Aunt used to have Hogan, Sheik and several other wrestlers round for Friday dinner until Sheik's drug problem got so bad that she banned all wrestlers from coming round the house. Â All the while I'm desperately resisting the urge to shout "FAAACKIN BULLSHET." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieg1980 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Â With regards to Sky I for one am quite happy the WWE gave them a bit of a shafting. Â Feels like a nice bit of revenge for the average freeview customer who have lost virtually all live football from next season. Pay to fucking watch it then, everyone wants stuff for free nowadays, just go to the pub and drink cordial when there's a game you want to watch if you don't want to pay for Sky/BT To be fair it isn't about something for nothing. Its about one or two companies making a monopoly on sporting events for themselves. European cup competition and The Open in golf has been lost to those companies this year, long traditions lost to money. Its about balance and how long until Sky & BT take the rights to the likes of Wimbledon or the World Cup. Yes at the moment they are protected bit for how long. Â I am more than happy to go the pub or pay for something I want to see I'm just saying I'm happy to see Sky take a little hit for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Smash Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) There was some talk floating around last year about how the BBC are starting to find it hard to secure Wimbledon. Apparently it's become too expensive for them. It probably will end up on Sky eventually. Edited February 19, 2015 by Glass Smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 Isn't Wimbledon on the list of protected sporting events that have to be shown on BBC/ITV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Smash Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Isn't Wimbledon on the list of protected sporting events that have to be shown on BBC/ITV? Â I thought that was only for the World Cup and Olympics coverage. Edited February 19, 2015 by Glass Smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 Full list at: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/other-codes/listed_events.pdf  Wimbledon is among the events that have to be offered live to channels available in 95% of home, which means anything Freeview now. The Open is category B, where only highlights have to be offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks most at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass Smash Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) That would be better than Donald Trump and that Fred and Rose West picture. I guess Burley doesn't remember reporting about Benoit on Sky News. Edited February 19, 2015 by Glass Smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
