More news on UK Wrestling Channel

[Guest Jung]

There are talks of an all-wrestling channel for broadcast in the United Kingdom. It would not be a 24 hour channel, rather a 10-12 hour channel.

 

It would be called the Combat Channel, and would be all working wrestling, no MMA planned.

 

The plan is to use current US indy shows and old footage. Some promotions scheduled to be aired include: NWA:TNA, ROH, CZW, UPW, XPW, Pro Wrestling NOAH, MLW, New Japan, FWA and IWW.

I ain't counting any of the proverbial chickens yet.

10-12 is still decent, and the fact that each werestling show can be put on any day of the week means we will still get a decent deal :D

So does this mean the Jushin Liger + Great Muta stuff will be covered on it (New Japan?)?

[Guest Jung]

You'll see me Liger, but you won't see Muto, as he is in All Japan.

[Guest Kane Fan]

Ok. What big stars are in NOAH?

 

I haven't seen any of these promotions, so sorry for all these questions!

[Guest Rikidozan]

NOAH has:

 

Mitsuharu Misawa (greatest technical wrestler of the 1990's)

Kenta Kobashi (worked classic matches with Misawa thoughout the 1990's)

Yoshihiro Takayama (works for Pride often)

Vader

Yoshihiro Ogawa (Junior Heavyweight)

Naoya Ogawa (no relation, beat the hell out of Hashimoto shoot-style in 1999)

The shows im really looking forward to seeing are CZW, FWA & NWA:TNA.

 

Ive only seen a little of Japanease wrestling and didnt really like it, all that much.

 

But ive heard loads about CZW and never seen it, so im really looking forward to having a look at some of the crazy shit they do.

[Guest remlap]
