$35 is about £22. Anyone who pays that for a crappy stream of a crappy PPV need their head looking at.

Wait, they expect people to pay £22 for their PPV online when they could just save their money for a few weeks and order a WWE PPV (Royal Rumble no less) for only £15 AND have it on their TV in High Definition?
Good one TNA.

Since it's a ''temporary measure'', you'd think they offer it to uk fans for much less than £22..

There have been a few bits of news spinning through the websites (nothing 100% reliable) so just gossip at the moment that TNA will probs be shown on one of the UK Living channels, due to them being under the same unit as the bravo channels.
The ratings on extreme were generally very poor, hence the contract ending, apparently Man Tracker is the biggest watched show on extreme with TNA hardly breaking in to the top 10. Obviously i think its been mentioned on here that TNA was quite a hit on Bravo, hence why its gonna be carried on with a different channel (apparently).
In fairness, who knows eh? Hopefully they will get it sorted soon, i mean, im not really a big fan of TNA or WWE at the moment but the option of more wrestling on TV is alsways a bonus, even if i only enjoy pars of a show, its wrestling non the less.
Agree with everything above though, online expensive PPV's are not the way to go, considering it was free on tv and if you are gonna bother watching a stream... are you really going to pay for it when 'other' avenues are available?

Hopefully it is on Living, I used to watch it on Sky Player on my Xbox at Uni, which basically means unless it's on Sky1 or Living I won't get to see it.

The online tv guide is out for living or Sky Living as it will become this month and TNA is not on it. So unless they change it, dont look it will be on there.
Living's format has always been more towards the females so TNA would be an odd fit on it lol.. but atleast it would have been in HD though.

Pretty obvious it wouldn't be on Living.
It'll probably be on Sky2 or 3.

It'll probably be on Sky2 or 3. ...it won't be on Sky 2 or 3 - WWE have an exclusive contract with Sky meaning they (Sky) can't show any other wrestling on their channels. Channel 5 would be a good move I think - everyone can get it (so it would be a very wide audience/more exposure) and it's also available in HD.  |

TNA should upload Xplosion to their on demand service since it's no longer airing on the Extreme Sports channel.
