MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At a press conference in Mexico City today, World Wrestling Entertainment® (WWE) and TV Azteca announced a new agreement which will see WWE SmackDown® available on Azteca 7.
Beginning October 3, WWE SmackDown will be broadcast to millions of TV households in Mexico on Azteca 7 on Friday evenings at 10:00 p.m. CT.
Exclusive to TV Azteca, SmackDown features a star-studded roster of WWEs globally renowned Superstars, including Triple H®, Undertaker®, Edge®, Jeff Hardy®, Big Show®, Mr. Kennedy and Carlito®. SmackDown is consistently one of the highest rated shows amongst the male demographic in the United States, showcasing all of the action, excitement, drama and great athleticism that have made WWE the most popular sports entertainment property in the world.
WWE is excited to be bringing WWE SmackDown to millions of TV households in Mexico, says Shane McMahon, WWE Executive Vice President, Global Media. This exclusive agreement demonstrates the strength of our business relationship with TV Azteca as a key global network partner.
We at TV Azteca are really excited to be the first to bring the successful global spectacle that is WWE SmackDown to Mexican open TV beginning October 3 at 10:00 pm on Azteca 7, said Rodrigo Fernández Capdevielle, Programming General Manager, TV Azteca. Offering this type of programming allows us to fulfil our commitment to provide the best on worldwide television to our Azteca 7 audience. We are convinced that the amazing product that WWE brings to the table each week on its program will hook Mexican fans and turn them into huge followers of SmackDown. Azteca Deportes announcers and wresting experts Carlos Aguilar, Francisco González and Rafael Ayala, will add their own distinctive style, as they do with great success for several other sporting events.
Why doesn't WWE leave Mexico alone? They already ruined wrestling here in the states and now they want to try to take away from Lucha Libre down in Mexico? Nobody can tell me that isn't what McMahon is trying to do. If he had his way everyone would be forced to watch his God-awful programming. That explains why he was trying so hard to get Luchadores from Mexico to go to WWE. It seems a lot of them are pretty smart as I have only heard of two wrestlers interested in going there. Leave the God awful soap opera that is WWE here in the states and please don't taint better wrestling.......
