Before anyone gets a bit too excited about TNA supposedly beating the WWE in the Uk, I'd thought I would come and explain a few things.
For one, Bravo(which shows TNA broadcasts), is a basic package which Virgin customers get when they subscribe to the service. Sky users have to pay for this package, however as it is only a £1 extra for that package of programs, most people get it.
However, in order to watch Sky Sports, you are required to pay something in the region of £20 on top of your usual sky bill, which is around £18, to get all the sports packages, as to get sky Sports 3, on which the WWE is shown, you need both Sky Sports 1 and 2.
Second up is the time difference. Raw is shown live here 2 while 4 am usually, depending. However TNA is shown at a much more reasonable time, with repeats on a weekend.
The point i'm trying to make is that TNA programming is more accessible to people over here than the WWE is.
It is probably the WWE's fault for wanting the most cash, but in doing that, you isolate your fanbase.
