Great American Bash to be shown Live on Sky Box Office!

Gonzo

Ive been shocked but delighted to hear that Sky have purchased the rights at the last minute to show The Great American Bash on Sky Box Office next Sunday, 27th June at 1am.

The event can be ordered from sky from next Friday, as much as I want to order this ppv I cannot as I wont be home till 3 hours before the show so im gonna have to get someone to order the ppv for me while im away so I have sommet to look forward to when I return from London.

Gonzo

fek fek fek, its a late saturday/early sunday that its on live so I cant get to see the ppv as i'll still be in england... ohh welll:(
Hanza looks like you'll be ordering this one from your sky digital setup instead.

Hanza

yep sunday morning 1am which is really a saturday night in our minds, this wud be a first for wwe to hold a ppv on a saturday, I would so love if all wwe ppv's went this way and saturday ppv's became the norm, most ppl both here and in america wud easily watch the ppv's live compared to sunday nights, bigger buyrates I would imagine as long as the ppv cards were up to scratch.

I think Sky have also picked up the rights to the RAW Tuesday night ppv in october.

I wonder how many people will buy this show, personally myself I find it very hard to watch any smackdown ppv's mainly cuz the storylines are really bad, I dont really wana look at undertaker and bradshaw. There's not really a good match on it. Not worth paying for I think.

But in saying that, its good sky have at least givin the opportunity for people if u are a fan of smackdown.

It's on Sunday, June 27th. Which means it will be on at the usual PPV time of 1am on the Sunday night.

Where did you get Saturday night from?

Gonzo

ok there was a mixup, on some websites it had listed the ppv as a saturday but on wwe it appears that it is infact a sunday so looks like its monday at 1am on sky sports (sunday night late), usually ppv time for us.

Gonzo

I meant sky box office (im really tired!)

Washout

i dont think there is a hope in hell i will be ordering this ppv.

i still think smackdown is so bad lately

Interesting that Setanta gave up rather quickly.....

Washout

its not a case of setanta giving up...there are two "extra" PPVs that were introduced AFTEr the setanta deal i believe so these 2 were up for contract...and sky box office just took it up that is all.

Any one know what the extra raw ppv will be called?

Hanza

It has yet to be announced, but people are hoping for Halloween Havoc, the old WCW name, like the Great American Bash (which was origionally a WCW PPV)

Lordz

So,is it saturday night/sunday morning,or sunday night/monday morning

Fozzy

Sunday night/Monday morning, as I said already. Same as every other PPV.

Just to note, the extra Raw PPV in October will be on a Tuesday. Interesting to see how that plays out.

Lordz

Raw's PPV has officially named "Halloween Havoc".:)
