Ok, I know it involves poor acting, cheesy stories and middle aged men about to die from taking steriods dancing to fireworks and running around pretending to fight people in spandex.....

But I am a fan as its entertaining.

I am new to Korea and have spoken to several Koreans who like WWE, they have told me that you can see it on Korean TV in English with Korean subtitles. Is this true?

I seem to have about 80channels, though some of them are the same ones repeated, therefore I at least think I have cable.

Can anyone tell me what channel, time etc? Also what shows, and are they up to date?

Thanks

I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet...it's on ALOT. It's shown on at least 3 different channels.

I'm not sure the exact channels or times though. I'd say it's on at night maybe 2 nights a week, and on the weekends alot...night and day. It's definitely on the sports channels.

It's also about a month behind, they are still hyping up Wrestlemania for example, and it is editted VERY heavily...no blood, and no foreign objects.

ah damn, no metal chairs and sledgehammers left conveniently under the ring. I can deal with it being a month behind, ill just have to stop reading wwe pages on the internet. Do they show ppv events? Are these free? As I said I am only new to Korea.
thanks

Your best bet would be to use a torrent- no month lag- no korean announce team- no editing weak chair shots.

yeah i use them both anyway, only i would like a break from watching suff on my laptop as i have a relativly large tv in the flat. I thought they used korean subtitles, and that the audio was in english? Is it dubbed or with a korean commentator?

It's dubbed over in Korean. Normally if a guy's cutting a promo you can hear the English, but sometimes they talk over that, too.
