Just wondered what people's opinions on The Wrestling Channel are, now that it's been running for a while.
I've found TNA to be kinda cool and the Japanese Women's Wrestling to be incredibly good (despite having no commentary). World of Sport is teeth gratingly dull. It's just so bloody cheesey (I know it's old, but the sad thing is NWA-Hammerlock is still like that!).
Best thing of all is easily Shoot Interviews. So far I've seen Honkey Tonk Man and Steve Coreno and I'm half way through the Ted DiBiase one.
So what are other people's views?

Same here with all the DVDs the UK gets but I will be happy once WWE 24/7 is launched

j/w will WWE 24/7 be on like ppv? or on like Spike TV or a regular channle like that?
I have liked TWC so far. Particularly the shoot interviews, MLW, ROH and TNA. Anyone see the Ted Diebease interview. Really interesting so far. Continues next week

WWE 24/7 will be on In Demand and internet,I think. If you have Comcast Digital Cable,you get to watch certain movies and shows for free anytime,I think WWE 24/7 will be something like that.
WWE 24/7 is nothing but old footage and recent Raw and Smackdown matches. I like the old stuff but I prefer to have something like The Wrestling Channel. They get to see,Japan wrestling,ROH,TNA,etc. WWE 24/7 is basically WWE with old WCW and ECW footage,nothing new. I hope 24/7 will have the Hitman vs.Austin 1996 Survivor Series match and Luger vs.Hogan from Nitro 1997.

Nasn at £10 a month is pretty expensive, but overall I love TWC..I just hope we get some up to date NWA:TNA soon.

^ NASN sucks, sorry i just hate american sport. And its too damn expensive for me right now anyways, but i hardly care really.
I have been impressed with TWC, dunno why the so-called porn thing had to be on though, theres enough channels with that rubbish IMO. But i guess it appeals to wrestling fans eh. The things i have enjoyed watching would be MLW, TNA, the shoot interviews and abit of RoH(though there matches seem to go on forever, and have a few too many near falls) one match i really enjoyed in RoH was the one ken shamrock refereed, but I can't exactly remember who was wrestling,

I'm not so sure, If they start playing New Olreans Saints games I'll order it in a heartbeat :D
Basically the viewing figures proved that nobody wants to see rinky sh</>ite indy wrestling. Doesn't matter how good the match is because if the production looks like it's on a camcorder, people automatically don't like it. The shoots are good, NOAH, CMLL and Gaea are awesome but the rest is just awful to watch. FWA is the worst of the lot. The announcers are awful. The ring looks tiny, the gimmicks suck and it looks each inch of a backyard promotion.

I mainly watch TNA and RoH when I do tune in. World of Sport is funny to watch, with the matches put into rounds and they mainly just have each other in headlocks.
The Shoot Interviews are the best thing they show. Loved the Raven and Bret Hart ones.

I love watching ring of honour and fwa, the bag pipe report is also pretty cool.

I tend to watch the shoot interviews, TNA, ROH and World of Sport Wrestling. Don't get to watch it too much but it's nice to have the choice.
