Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) A WWE show is being investigated by OFCOM supposedly. It will be in the next OFCOM Newsletter.  WWE Live (Promotion) : Sky Sports 3 : 7th November 2015.  http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/enforcement/broadcast-bulletins/obb299/Issue_299.pdf  What happened in that particular episode and whats does WWE Live (Promotion) mean? November 7th was a Saturday.  Things at the end of the newsletter generally get thoroughly investigated as they are taking it seriously.

d-d-d-dAz Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) They're investigating the in-editorial promotion of the U.K. shows, and the pushing of the viewer towards ticketing sites. Â It'd be an irritation for the WWE if it's upheld, it'd be a fucking DISASTER for TNA.. Edited February 22, 2016 by d-d-d-dAz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 So WWE have shows coming up, they provide information about where to get tickets for said shows, and someone complained about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Looks like it. Probably another ticketing company. Edited February 22, 2016 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) The complaint definitely looks odd, but there's a very real chance it could be upheld. Â WWE's has been on ropey ground in the past with some of their plugs and stuff they weave into their segments. When they, however tenuously, contribute to the show/story they're admissible but part of the reason they pay to sponsor their own shows with that 2K stuff is they wouldn't actually be allowed to use that to bridge shows like Main Event in the UK. Â If they decide the pre-cut segs are actually commercials that could be editorially avoided, they'll have to put them in the breaks and lose a shitload of eyes in the process. Â *edit* actually, thinking about it, I'd bet my bollocks the complaint comes from a working class parent irritated that they've now got a sulky, crying kid because they can't afford to take them to a show. 80% of complaints are by angry parents.

They don't say how/where to get tickets. Surely that's well within the boundaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 Michael Cole will be a wreck, not having to say $9.99 every other minute. At least he'll still have 'we invite you to use the hashtag'. Â Who the fuck needs an invite to use a hashtag, I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 22, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2016 An MSG house show in March has been changed to "Daniel Bryan night" :  http://www.thegarden.com/events/2016/march/wwe-live.html  House show or not, this sounds like a tidy card a week before WrestleMania.

drkopen Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Did anyone catch Cats Does Countdown a few weeks back with Rob Beckett? He had his wrestling figures out as his lucky mascot and while Jimmy Carr was asking him who some of them were he said "Just give me a minute while I move Koko B Ware away from Hogan"Â Had to chuckle at that. At the beginning of 2015 I was looking at running a promotion from Bluewater, Essex. We approached Rob to be involved and him and his team were well up for it even pitching to us the idea of getting Rob to dress up as Jack Swagger.
