WWE confirm TV snub:
WWE have released the following statement to confirm DISH will NOT, be showing the Elimination Chamber...
"WWE is pleased that the majority of our cable and satellite Pay-Per-View distributors are giving our fans an option to purchase traditional Pay-Per-Views as we prepare to launch WWE Network on Monday, February 24. Unfortunately, DISH will not be doing so. We hope DISH will reconsider for this Sunday's Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View event and especially for WrestleMania 30."
DISH responded that they made the decision because of the Network, and will not show any future WWE PPV's unless WWE reduce the price they ask for them, the company also added that other suppliers are also looking at the situation closely, and may follow their lead in dropping WWE content as a result of the Network's launch...
"WWE has chosen to launch a 24/7 online network, without its TV partners, that includes all of its pay-per-view events. As WWE enters the increasingly fragmented media world by themselves, DISH will continue to consider the value of WWE pay-per-view on an event by event basis. DISH continues to provide a variety of WWE programming, including 'WWE Raw' on USA, 'WWE Smackdown' on Syfy, 'WWE Main Event' on Ion and 'WWE Total Divas" on E!. At this time, WWE pay-per-view events are not available on DISH."
