of the Month: WrestleMania
Main
Event is Australia's only pay-per-view channel.
It transmits through Foxtel, Optus Television
and Austar. It broadcasts major sporting and entertainment
events such as boxing, professional wrestling,
mixed martial arts, concerts and even Jerry Springer
specials
In
recent times, the channel has broadcast the Anthony
"The Man" Mundine vs. Danny Green boxing
fight and has broadcast nearly every World Wrestling
Entertainment pay-per-view since 2001 (There was
a contract negotiation period that prevented the
WWE from showing WWE pay-per-views between January
2003 and August 2003). Since May 2006 it has also
been broadcasting Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
pay-per-views, and since 2007, the Ultimate Fighting
Championship started screening their PPV's. It
also broadcast WWE's weekly programming (for free)
as FOX8, the usual broadcaster, was busy fulfilling
a schedule for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Main
Event has also broadcast large concerts for artists
such as Christina Aguilera and Beyoncé
Knowles in the past. Due to changes in the recent
television deals, Australian Football League Friday
Night Football matches will be shown on the channel
live in New South Wales and Queensland.
