| MUMBAI:
Ten Sports will launch its third original World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)
show of the week with the start of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).
The other two shows are Raw and SmackDown!
ECW will debut on Ten Sports on 29 June at 11:30 pm.
The late night wrestling show will settle into a regular Friday
night 10:30 pm slot once the Indian cricket tour of the West
Indies has ended.
The new roster of wrestling stars is designed to create a more
extreme form of the sport. Ten Sports has decided against showing
ECW to a daytime audience. The action will be the raciest by
far and will be restricted to a new late night slot. The show
replaces Velocity.
Ten Sports says that ECW has already proved a ratings success
in North America where the ECW team of wrestlers has begun
taking on the existing teams of Raw and SmackDown!.
