Live WWE wrestling back on Thai screens after 5 years

By The Nation

 

 

After disappearing from Thai screens for more than five years, WWE wrestling extravaganzas “Monday Night RAW” and “Friday Night Smack Down!” are back

 

Thanks to WWE’s exclusive partner 3BB, Thai fans can enjoy both shows live every week at the same time as the broadcast in America.

 

“Raw” and “Smackdown” will be offered on 3BB GIGATV, a premium streaming service coming to Thai screens soon. Both shows will be broadcast live in Thailand, meaning Thai wrestling fans no longer have to wait two weeks for the taped programmes to arrive from America. Channel 3BB Sport One will screen “Smack Down” at 8am every Saturday and “Raw at 8am every Tuesday.

 

Other global sports content available on 3BB Sport One includes football’s Dutch League and Chinese League, the Club Channel, Euro League basketball and Thailand’s own Sepak Takraw League.

Live streaming of WWE shows ( RAW, Smackdown, NXT and ALL the PPV's ) is already available over the internet on vipleague. Has been for the last 10 years or so.

I suppose if you compare it to some of the soaps on tv around the world, that people seem to be addicted to, it might be a mental stimulant for some.

It's not just American. It's huge in Japan (New Japan Pro Wrestling ). Actually it's not rehearsed, it is planned, but rarely if ever rehearsed. There's no time for rehearsals as they are on the road travelling almost every day so they can do live shows in different cities. These guys & gals generally perform 6 days a week.

Nobody has ever called it a sport. It's wrestling entertainment. Essentially WWE & all the other wrestling companies ( AEW, ROH, IMPACT, New Japan Pro Wrestling etc ) are soap opera for men & kids, with a very large female fan base too.

Thais actually love it. In fact the Thai WWE fans that i've met are hugely disappointed that WWE doesn't come to Thailand for live shows when they are touring in South East Asia.

That's only for kids up to 12.

When you're older you shouldn't watch such cr+p.

thing is we're all still big kids at heart, and it does provide some great soap opera moments, but I guess those that don't watch aren't mature enough to accept it for what it really is.
