Five Star Wrestling's debut on Spike UK (channel 5) will take place this Saturday 1/28 live from Dundee, Scotland. The two hour special will air from 8-10 PM local time and is titled "Dominant Wrestling: Live from Dundee."
Scheduled to appear are Rey Mysterio, Drew Galloway, Jay Lethal, Nick "Magnus" Aldis, John Morrison, Carlito, Joe Coffey, Jay Lethal, PJ Black (Justin Gabriel, Nick Aldis (Magnus), Mark Haskins, Joe Hendry, Kid Fite, Jack Jester and Jimmy Havoc.
Kurt Angle was scheduled to do commentary but has been pulled from the broadcast. Given the timing of his WWE Hall of Fame induction being announced, it's pretty obvious that is why.
An announcement on 1/10 stated the special this weekend is simply the beginning as Spike has "commissioned a series for the largest tournament in the history of wrestling." It appears "Dominant Wrestling" may be the title of that planned series. There was no announcement as to when the weekly series would begin airing.
Spike TV's UK version launched in April 2015 and often features material exclusive for the British market that does not make its way over to the United States, including MMA promotion BAMMA. It is not likely that the special or series would be broadcast here in the United States.
Tickets for the 1/28 Five Star Wrestling event in Dundee, Scotland can be purchased at www.5starwrestling.co.uk.
