Stop over rating yourself
i like wrestling very much but the languages used sometimes can be disturbing to our little ones. The live kisses on the screen is not our culture and makes me uncomfortable to watch such scenes with my family.
Africa has 52 countries. How are they going to show to more than 50 countries in sub shaharan Africa? Raw and SmackDown live are live on Monday and Tuesdays in America respectively, so they’ll be showing recorded shows. That is after we heard of the results on the internet already
In the first place Mushota the wouldn’t even come to you any, there are better fish in the pond.
Mushota, kanshi wapngwa shani, iwe ponse kuba negative?
This z wat we have been waiting for I thank Supersport for bring us the best entertainment in the world????????????????
Bambi ka life kalikosa so balibafye negative all the time, if u don’t like WWE its ok let those who like it watch. imwe chiteniko fimbi like finding a guy or girl who will love u for all your short comings
Is there anyone dating Mushota I wonder.
Great news although my so-called wife hates me watching this. Just like Mushota always negative.
But here in South Africa, channel E has announced that they are no longer going to show that same programme and yet zambia is rejoicing why
Multi year?? Just tell us the number of years and we will make up our own minds whther that is multi. Ala
How can an adult man be watching this rubbish? Just go and watch an action movie…I was watching ..stopped when I was 13 I saw a documentary on how the whole thing is staged including the crowd with placards.
@jay jay,
who cheated you that action films are real?
if you have cared to watch attentively, you would have long noticed that most of these wwe actors (wrestlers), are also found in some of the action films you like. bottom line is,both categories of action are fake and it depends on which useless show one prefers.
That’s my point they are Professional steroid charged Actors..Kids dont know that …do you want me to write it again in Grandma’s language?
Good point mature!!! Its entertainment that’s all. If you don’t like it just keep quiet. I don’t watch myself yet I am not complaining. People want to argue about everything, why?
Why? Really laughable… because Big kids like you pretend to subscribing to channels for sake of your teenage sons yet you who is in the front row when WrestleMania® starts!!
This jay jay guy is just like Mushota, he likes arguments even where there is no need to, he is a know it all!What a low life!!!!
Comment:concentrate on watching your zee world
People with their negativity?? Next twalaumfwa ati the opposition is behind this to destabilize the country! lol
Modern research suggests that you don’t expose yourself or indeed your children too much to these violent inhuman movies. By doing so, the human spirit which is basically about love goes out of the window and the beast spirit creeps in. Violence and suicides will be the order of the day which we don’t need in this country so called Christian. Let us emulate Jehovah’s witnesses who try their best to switch off TVs whenever there is a violent scene.
