Wrestlemania on Sky Sports

markcahill1985

Anyone know if Wrestlemania will be on Sky Sports or Box Office? Checked the website schedule and seems to suggest it will be on Sky Sports.

Maybe the new deal means all PPV will be shown on the regular channels rather than PPV on Box Office?

WrestleMania XXX will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office (channel 743) and Sky Sports HD Box Office (channel 752) at midnight on Sunday, April 6 (Monday morning).

The event is priced at £17.95 for UK customers, €24.95 for customers in the Republic of Ireland.

I *think* ALL WWE PPVs will be on Sky Box Office in 2015. A move to compel WWE Network sign ups I guess.

Looked it up.

Essentially everyone is except two:

^ As a general note WWE isn't taking the piss around October time this year. PPVs are better spaced out in 2014.

FSM reported that the Sky deal moves all 12 PPVs to Sky box office. WWE seems to think that the Network will be driving up TV ratings for Raw. Probably lots more screwy main event finishes to come as the monthly supercards cease to be super.

Jim Cornette has an interesting piece in FSM about why the end of paying for the big matches is not a good thing.
