That is interesting. I've been a Sky sports subscriber for about 10 years. Never once did i know some of the PPV's were "free".

I remember the days when channel 4 had the rights to some of the PPV's. I still got those PPV's recorded on VHS in the attic.

Wow, really? I don't watch Sky's channels much, so maybe they don't advertise the free ones much.

 

Oh god, that was back when I first got into wrestling; 2000 Royal Rumble on Channel 4 was the first event I ever watched, and I probably still have the VHS recording of it somewhere in the house, along with Backlash. :P

I don't think Sky advertise it at all. They push the box office ones though. Usually 2 weeks or so before the PPV it is plugged every set of advertisements on Sky Sports.

 

Same here. Royal Rumble got me back into wrestling. Seeing Jeff Hardy swanton off the taxi blew my mind at the time.

Also Taka Michinoku took that awesome face plant i think too.

It was the street fight between Triple H and Cactus Jack that got me hooked, but I fondly remember Taka's faceplant too.

 

 

It's at 2:45.

I think that was the one where Mae Young decided to get topless or something. That and the Foley/Triple H match is the only thing i remember about it.

 

But yeah, i have around 50 (i numbered them in order) VHS tapes still with the PPVs from around 98-200x where they were on Sky Sports. Stopped bothering afterwards.

 

Lingwo: i have no idea how you missed them advertising PPVs on Sky Sports, they even show repeats on the Tuesday after at 9pm. Think of all of the PPVs you've missed!

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
