Is anyone watching this on sky channel 427? There's some old boxing on, Craig Bowen Price vs some Ukrainian, its ridiculous, they're blurring his face out when the camera gets too close because he's bleeding!

I noticed that last night. I guess they are trying to be as family friendly as possible, especially as their main product is still wrestling. Pretty stupid to have a channel called the Fight Network and blocking out all the blood.
Shouldn't of thought that channel has long left anyway, viewing figures must be shit, if they really wanted to get new viewers they should be looking to sign up some small hall promoters from over here.
They might not have the money for the big fights, but I am sure there are a few promoters that would love the additional revenue.

SKY do it with Wrestling, too. They change the colouration to black and white, or just cut away.

True, but the late night stuff doesn't have the blood blocked out. The Fight Network just run the same shows days and night.

Yes it annoying i can understand the day time but not at night. I remember when channel 5 first use to show WCW wrestling they had the old style batman fight signs when someone was hit with a chair Fight network need to show more boxing they are guilty of showing lots of repeats.

I remember that too. Didn't they show WCW from several years before, i.e. Sting with blonde hair?

I can't remember i remember watching WCW on the TNT channel.
