The Status Of Heat and Velocity Revealed
Submitted by Daniel Pena on Saturday, September 24, 2005 at 6:44 PM EST





Despite the move of WWE programming to the USA Network next month, Heat and Velocity will still continue nonetheless. Just in slightly different form for residents of the United States.

Starting next week, Heat and Velocity will be broadcast on WWE.com featuring your B-show favorites such as Val Venis, Viscera, Johnny Parisi, Steven Richards and Funaki. Heat will be available to watch as early as every Friday afternoon. Velocity will be available to watch as early as every Saturday morning at 10:00 AM. There will also be unique content never before seen on the program.

I presume these shows being broadcast will be the exact same ones broadcast in international markets. The biggest reason as to why Heat and Velocity are still being produced is because WWE have contractual obligations with international countries where they must have a set amount of hours a week to show WWE programs and they don't want to lose those deals just because the USA Network won't broadcast any additional WWE shows.

It's possible that WWE may look to get back their old syndication deals as they'd probably like to make some ad revenue off the shows. Heat and Velocity will be free of charge and they won't make any money off the programs if they are broadcast on WWE.com. Also, bandwith costs money.

Anyways, Heat and Velocity will still continue and this shouldn't effect anyone outside of the U.S. Also, the lower-tier wrestlers can breathe a sigh of relief as there won't be any major cutbacks like some had previously feared as the B-shows will still continue.
