More Canadian TV Companies Will Be Offering WWE Network In Time For Wrestlemania

This press release started making the rounds today. It’s great news for a lot of folks, but Bell customers, which is a hell of a lot of people, are still left out. I can only imagine the sorts of silliness that could be holding that deal up. Rogers today announced that it has reached carriage …

Canada Gets Online Access To The WWE Network, But Only If You’re Already Signed Up To The TV Version

While the number of TV providers that offer WWE Network in Canada remains stuck at two (Rogers and Eastlink), there’s still some pretty big news to report today. If you’re a network subscriber through either one of those companies, you can now get the online access you should have had to it all along. To …

Someone Other Than Rogers Now Offers WWE Network. Welcome Aboard, Eastlink

The laugh and a half national rollout of the WWE Network in Canada got a bit more national today. Here’s a press release that takes far too long to get to the damn point and still leaves out something pretty important. HALIFAX, Dec. 17, 2014 /CNW/ – With today’s addition of the World Wrestling Entertainment Network …

Video Of The 1971 Bruno Sammartino Ivan Koloff Title Change

Ivan Koloff vs. Bruno Sammartino Yes, this is the match from 1971 where Ivan wins the title. The one Bruno talks about in all of his interviews.

The CRTC Has Approved WWE Network For Canada. You Can Start Bothering Your Service Providers Now

That huge sigh of relief you just heard was me. And the one you heard right before that was Rogers. The reason? The CRTC has granted official approval for the WWE Network to operate in Canada, which is obviously good news. I’m not sure whether or not I should be surprised that this happened since …

The Ladder Match That Probably Brought Us Every Great Ladder Match Of This Century

While you wait for one of us to have the time/energy/brain power to post something of substance (after 11 years you should know better), enjoy this ladder match from 1999. I just finished watching it for the first time since then and it’s still pretty amazing. Even more amazing is that after all these years, …

Even Amongst The Ridiculousness Of TNA, Scott Steiner Somehow Manages To Stand Out

If you watch a lot of wrestling, all I think I need to say is this: Scott Steiner TNA promo compilation. As for the rest of you, there’s really no explaining this. I’m sorry. Whether it’s TNA, WCW or pretty much anywhere else, how much of this is character and how much is him just …

United Breaks WWE

United Airlines has gone and lost something important belonging to someone important again. This time it’s Dolph Ziggler’s luggage, complete with WWE Intercontinental title. Hopefully he gets it back in one piece. United doesn’t exactly have the best record when it comes to that sort of thing. WWE Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler has been writing …

Hands Off The Network And Nobody Gets Hurt

Who knows how much of a thing this will actually become given the tendency of the CRTC to basically let big media do whatever the hell it wants, but I feel like I should probably say my piece just in case. WWE Network Fighting to Stay on TV in Canada – According to the Wrestling …
