WWE News: WWE issues statement on DISH refusal to carry Elimination Chamber

WWE issued the following statement to Prowrestling.net concerning DISH network: "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."

Shore's Slant: Jason Powell and I were surprised today in the Member's exclusive Dot Net Weekly audio show that WWE had not addressed the DISH controversy. For those who may not have heard, DISH is refusing to carry WWE pay-per-views, purportedly because of the WWE Network.
