This is great news, since I don't have The Wrestling Channel I've had to rely on downloads and buying DVDs to watch TNA, but now I can watch it on Eurosport. Pritty crap timeslot but it's better than nothing at all! This move will also benefit TNA's fan base all over Europe.

What time is it on in UK?

A friend of mine told me that Eurosports covarage of TNA starts this Saturday at 6pm

I think it sucks. I'd rather that the continuity on TWC was kept. They're showing old TNA on Eurosport at the moment. I wish they'd treat it properly.

I missed it as I was out. What time and day was it on? As I don't have TWC any TNA is good for me.

Again, the timetable for it is a bit skew-whiff. Just keep an eye out.. then again, TWC haven't treated it THAT great
