We need more English speaking wrestling shows.

The american wrestling fan seems to get screwed over in this are cause mexico, japan, china etc etc get their own language version of our shows. Why cant we get a English translation of AAA, CMLL, New Japan, All Japan broadcasts?

We need a true wrestling channel that can suit these needs.
 
There are English versions of some of those shows, I just don't know if they're aired or on DVD. I have watched CMLL and a few promotions from Italy, Puerto Rico and Japan on TheFightNetwork. (Although that seems to be a seasonal thing? They have more wrestling shows during the summer for some reason)

It would be nice to have a specialty channel that just didn't cater to WWE programming, but global wrestling. :shrug:
 
A few things stand in the way of something like that happening. Obviously, it's harder to do because the demand isn't high enough, so the PERFECT deal would have to be reached for all parties to be happy about the move.

Nonetheless, I'd love to see it happen. I'm Mexican and I love foreign wrestling of all kind. But, I don't speak Spanish, and I don't know what's happening at all when I watch the Mexican shows. Lol.
 
We did have The Wrestling Channel for a while in England, that showed CMLL, NOAH, and other promotions from round the world, but then the channel started getting watered down with shitty small time MMA shows, before getting re-named TWC Fight! and then The Fight Network, as they lost the licenses to TNA, ROH and the rest.

I would love to see this come back, it was this channel that exposed me to guys like Punk, Danielson, Kobashi, Daniels, Styles, Misawa etc, and many other guys.
