NTL Sucks (UK)

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

They aren't open on Sunday, which means no ordering Wrestlemania for me...

Luckily, I've got someone else to tape it...

So I'll be watching it a few hours late...

So... Share your stories of TV companies SCREWING you out of your wrestling shows.

[Xero]

I have never bought any PPVs (except on DVD and VHS), but when PPV was still on regular cable and not digital, we got two PPV's free... Royal Rumble 1998 and Bad Blood 2003.

Yeah, so they screwed me into wrestling shows, not out. :shifty:

[diothoir]

Can you not order it through the interactive box office thing on NTL?

I ordered the Rumble through it.

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

NTL is pretty bad when it comes to WWE PPV's. Anytime I've recorded a PPV the quality turns out to be really poor

In 2000 Channel 4 acquired the rights to 4 WWF PPVs per year but then when the Attitude era was in full flight, Channel 4 decided it didn't want to promote putting people through tables, hitting people with chairs, smut and violence towards women so they gave up the rights to these 4 PPVs. Unfortunately Sky Sports didn't take them back on to be shown on Sky Sports 1 like before, instead they started selling the PPVs like you find in America. I don't want to say Channel 4 are to blame, but maybe this is why people are having to rely on buying from crappy cable companies rather than having the PPV automatically on Sky Sports.

Channel 4 had the shit ppv's anyway, apart from the Rumble of course.

Apart from the Rumble, the InVasion ppv was the only one they showed.

[Outsider]
