ok, some goof just added that theres some show called 'WWE WRESTBACK' in the phillipines, i do believe that there could be a show call WWE WrestleBack over there, but its definately NOT produced by the WWE, but probably by the channel that broadcasts WWE. Cuz in my place the channel that airs TNA wrestling, airs a show that shows Classic and old matches of TNA, but that does NOT mean that TNA itself produced it, cuz the channel did. So, i want all you to know that you should ONLY add shows that has been produced by the WWE itself.--T00C00L 14:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Originally from Talk:WWE TV Times

If anyone else can contribute to this site please do so. I'm only using WWE.com for my info and need people who are actually in the countries to edit.

Rather than having two articles serving similar purpose (with this serving more of a international target), I'm proposing this article gets merged into WWE programs. The article then can be revamped into an article like Broadcasting of The Simpsons. --Oakster (Talk) 09:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I have no problems with that. Just as long as we can keep it's current format. Can you let me work on that a bit? (From User:3 Brands)
Just added in the SOUTH ASIAn schedules and timings, as well as improved a couple'a things!!! T00C00L 07:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
ok, after every timing on the South Asian schedules i gave an IST which directed to Indian Standard Time, but some jackass removed that directing link; south asia is not a single country, its a whole bunch of countries, now people wont be able to tell which country's time that is, cuz knowing that time people could tell their own local times, now thats all messed up, and in south asia people NEVER use the word or initials- IST, now the people wont have a clue what the fuck is IST, and which country's timing that is!!! im requestin someone to please fix that up!!! T00C00L 13:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
ok, so no one would do it^ for me, so , i just had to fix that up myself, some jackass messes things up and, i have to fix that all up wasting my own precious time, and it seems people are messin wit the south asian schedules, so i say that if youre not familiar wit the south asian stuff than dont ruin things for me!!! and dont mess up the IST link!!! --T00C00L 06:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
ok, im requestin someone to put up the central african, southern african and middle eastern schedules, cuz if no one else would do it than ill just have to do it myself!!! --T00C00L 06:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Firstly, please refrain from insulting me like that or I'll have to complain. I removed it because none of the other initials have links so either have all the timing initials linked or none linked at all. Secondly. what's the problem with adding the information yourself? Also, when is this article being merged with WWE programs? I haven't heard anything back since 3 Brands said it was fine. Normy132 07:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWE TV Times

Hey Ho. I'm the creator of the WWE TV Times Page and I'm happy for it to be merged BUT i think it should be kept in it's current format and added that way. From 3 Brands


oh, come on, we dont need the International broadcasting section on the main page, weve already got the WWE TV Schedules article page !!! T00C00L 12:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

If you actually read the talk page for a while, it was proposed for a merger for a while. I know you guys aren't particulary going to like this but I had to break off from the list format on the old article and I'll give you my reasons. One of the reasons being is that it is often prefered to have paragraphs of prose than continuous lists (see Wikipedia:Embedded list). I also thought it might be a good idea if we include past history of programming (e.g. UK's move from Sky One to Sky Sports, Canada's move from TSN to The Score, US's move from Spike to USA) so having them organised in countries helps this. --Oakster (Talk) 12:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
first of all, i do read the talk page, my signatures all over the place, second, now people dont even know what programs WWE produces, like whose goin to read the sections of all those countries, cuz not a single country in the entire world airs All WWE shows !!! wikipedias supposed to be for the people, well, now the people dont know and wont wanna know what the hell is up with this page, man, we gotta bring it back to the old school, cuz this is disgusting, frustrating, boring, ugly and crappy!!! --T00C00L 12:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually all the shows currently shown are mentioned on the first paragraph as a lead in to the countries. --Oakster (Talk) 12:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Dudes - Take a chill pill. It's only a TV Schedule. I would prefer the logos of the shows be returned and the links to the show be included below the image. Wat you say? From 3 Brands
I'd like to see the logos, but only for the main shows, i.e. Raw and Smackdown. Otherwise they're not really needed. BTW 3 Brands good work trying to keep everyone's head cool. Normy132`
I'm not angry, I just like to explain some of my edits. :) --Oakster (Talk) 08:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
well, even in this article, it would be better if things were in the old Style, you know
RAW:
australia- blah,blah....
south asia- blah,blah...
uk- blah,blah...........
SmackDown!:
blah,blah- blah,blah....
blah,blah- blah,blah....
and yes, i would like a chill pill, what is it DRUGS, ill take heroin, but where would i get it, if i search, the only thing ill get here (in my place) is Fencidyl !!!


WWE is currently one of the leaders in pay-per-view content for cable and satellite television. Pay-per-views account for approximately 25% of WWE revenues. There are 15 live shows for North America, 4 for Europe, 4 for Australia and 2 for Asia. The pay-per-view events WWE hold currently are

um, what are the events that are live in asia, all shows and events in middle east asia, south asia, south-east asia, etc and africa, are delayed by 2 - 4 weeks, different amount of delayed week in different regions and tv channels. you should know that, ONLY japan airs the shows in the original week, cuz it is the only country where WWE is available on PPV !!! T00C00L 14:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

First off I'll address the changing from Paragraph to Point Form.

Oh Hell Yeah! I know I don't want to sift through an entire paragraph looking for the show then looking for the time. Point form I can see all the information I want with great ease, and Ihave reverted the Australian Times to this format to show everyone just how much easier it is. I plan to do the rest tomorrow.

Secondly the images: I'm happy with the major 4 shows to be imaged only, but I really loved the format of WWE Times which had the show and image and the link to each show below the image.

Thirdly, TooCools Comment on Live Shows per continent; I originally thought that meant the House Shows /Tours in each country. But if you look carefully, it is in the paragraph about Pay Per Views. That whole paragraph is extremly old and seems to have just had the numbers changed as the ammount of Pay Per Views have increased. In Some countries, Pay Per Views are shown free as the country has not yet conceived the concept of Cable TV.

Fourthly, I know I originally agreed to the moving of WWE Times to this page but, now that I see it, it really seems like a puss infected wart on a smooth face. I propose we return WWE TV Times back to it's original page and revert WWE Programs to the way it was this time last week.

Thanks for reading this - From The Holy Trinity of Sports Entertainment!

I agree with 3 Brands that they should be in point form. Makes it a lot easier to look for nessacery (sp?) info. As for moving back to WWE TV Times, I'm against that idea. These topics are too similar to have their own individual pages. Normy132 23:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWE UK Times

Can someone from the UK Please onfirm the UK Times. One of my WWE.com contact said the replay times were meant to be Friday and Saturday. WWE.com has it wrong according to them. Anyone know which is right? From The Holy Trinity of Sports Entertainment!

[edit] Galleries

Do those really need to be there? I think we'd be much better off just having a list of programmes and a link to the WWE PPV article. We went through this arguement on the professional wrestling in Australia article about 4 months ago and I think this should be no different. Normy132 04:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

    • I think they're an easy way to have links and to see the logos of the shows. They add 'life' to a dull page of words and should be left the way they are as long as all other versions of the gallery links are reverted to just headings. From Not JBL

[edit] Guam

Does anybody know what channel is UPN because i want to watch SmackDown!

why dont you just check out the UPN article! OH, COME ON, this is wikipedia !!! --Too Cool 06:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  !!!

Instead of making country sections and then giving the show timings and schedules, cant we just give sections for the Shows and then give availabilities, timings, schedsules for the shows in the different countries? yeah, just like BEFORE !!! cuz theres a million coutries that air wwe, its a wonder why all are NOT present HERE, cuz if they were they wont fit here, man!!! --Too Cool 06:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

www.wwe.com/schedules/television

I beleive the times were originally by show, but were changed to Country so the list at the top of the page could be used for easier finding of information. WackadooXanadu 05:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should "Heat" Be Included?

Should WWE HEAT be included as a "major show"? After all, it is only a webcast now. Cobra wwe 07:28, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
