Apparently in a 12 days of Christmas sorta thing Bravo in the UK are showing a 2009 TNA ppv a day at regular intervals during that day, just watched Lockdown today on Bravo 2
also we notonly get the PPVs free the Wedensday after the PPV,on the following sunday you don'y just get the PPV..but they show all 4 preceading Impacts before it (which actually helps the enjoyment because you get to see a whole feud unfold there and then
not tomention that is seems to show repeated viewings of Impacts
Bravo is the TNAchannel much like Dave is the Top Gear channel..put the channel on and you are bound to see some wrestling at some point
Things llike this I believe do..or could give TNA the edge on getting the UK audiences, more accessable and easy to catch up on

TNA really are hitting the UK hard, especially with the iMPACT reruns on Virgin 1 which gets the freeview crowd interested.

Mind you, I watched Lockdown today on Bravo 2 myself
Such a shame everything's so heavily edited, there was moments someone's just going to use a simple move but it goes straight to the crowd shot (Foley Vs Sting especially)
Also, having the Impact's which lead onto the PPV is such an amazing idea.

People would look at you funny if you said you love Bravo here in the US. According to Wikipedia, the UK Bravo channel (owned by Virgin Media) is in no way related to the US Bravo channel (owned by NBC Universal). The US Bravo channel is targeted towards women and "alternative lifestyles". I always thought it was stange that Bravo would show pro-wrestling, but the same could be said for the Sci-Fi channel.

I have to say I did flick over to Lockdown on occasion today, but the best part was Sky's information for the show, to paraphrase:
"TNA's all Cage event, with the main event of the Veteran Wrestler Mick Foley facing his much younger rival Sting."
Huh-Wah?

Yeah, the UK Bravo is male orientated. It's the equivalent of your Spike TV. The only thing I hate about UK Bravo is that they dumped the Adult Swim slot they had. I miss the Venture Brothers. |

Bravo's been great so far when it comes to promoting TNA. The only problem I have with the channel is that when they get three hour Impacts, we get crappy edited two hour versions.
