This is mainly for my own benefit, but others might find it useful. It just provides dates and, more importantly, whether a pay-per-view is free or not.
I will update when necessary.

No Way Out – Monday, February 20, 2006, 1:00 AM (Sky Sports 1)
WrestleMania 22 - Monday, April 3, 2006, 1:00 AM (Sky Box Office)
Backlash - Monday, May 1, 2006, 1:00 AM (Sky Sports 1)

What I find strange is that most of the RAW pay-per-views have been free, whilst most of the SmackDown! pay-per-views have been on Box Office. I would have ordered Backlash and I would be willing to pay for Unforgiven, as I did for Vengeance. I didn’t order Judgment Day, didn’t even watch Great American Bash, which was free, and I will not be ordering No Mercy unless SmackDown! improves significantly.
Whilst SmackDown! may technically be better, with people like Finlay, Regal and Benoit, I stopped watching WWE for the wrestling when I discovered Puroresu.

You're missing "New Years Revolution" by the way... But I agree with you on the above note. I actually order only "Wrestlemania", because it's the best Value for Money, with about 4+ hours for the same £15 as the others which are often quite a lot less than 3. And also, a lot of the matches are put up on the Internet a couple of days after the event, so sometimes there is not much point. There's also Spoiler Sites, and the Live Threads which is good enough for me to know what's happening. I do, however, get some nice nostalgia based pleasure when I pull out my old PPVs that I recorded (from Sky Sports) and watch them. Not like the 90's PPVs, but something like "New Years Revolution 2005", and stuff like that, just because it's awesome to see who was milling around the WWE back then... And the Rumbles are always good to see what losers were employed by the ''E; people like Nathan Jones and Cena before he got unpopular and all...

Never ordered a PPV event from Sky (for anything), in my life. The bastards get enough from us as it is (for what is essentially complete and utter crap), and still have the gall to charge us £15 for things I could just wait a month for and buy on DVD (thus making it mint to keep), for, at worst, an extra £5, at best, the same price.

Totally agree. Sky have been taking the piss out of us for years. |

Well from the PPV's left i will only order Survivor Series. Then just watch Unforgiven and Cyber Sunday for nothing.

I only pay for Wrestlemania, as that's one of my annual highlights..... get some beer and friends over, stay up all night watching it live and getting drunk. All the other's normally are on torrent sites in a day or 2 so I just download them later and save £15. I agree with what was said about Sky, they charge enough to bloody watch their channels already without £15 more for PPVs.

While being bored i was checking out things on Sky One and found this;
Sky One broadcasted WWE's Bottom Line and Friday Night Smackdown before putting it onto Sky Sports 3. However there are still talks about Raw and Smackdown being placed back onto Sky One and reducing the amount of 'pay-per-view' WWE programing for the Sky Sports Channels
That just suck's, they are trying to make more money from us. I mean 5 out of 15 are only shown on Sky Sports and i thought that was tight of them but cutting it down again? What the fuck!
