WWE(R) Signs Deal with BALTIJOS TV for Lithuania

LONDON, Feb 08, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WWE and BALTIJOS TV (BTV) today announced a television distribution deal that will bring WWE's flagship weekly television program, WWE Raw(R), to Lithuania.

Under this new agreement, a one-hour international version of WWE Raw will be available immediately in one million Lithuanian households every Friday at 10:30 p.m. The WWE Raw television franchise is an exciting mix of in-ring action and compelling storylines featuring WWE Superstars like John Cena(R), CM Punk(R) and The Miz(R) that have become global icons.

"We are extremely delighted to partner with WWE," said Liutauras Elkimavicius, CEO of BTV. "Our viewers are very excited to see WWE Raw and we're proud to say that BTV will be the channel to bring it to them."

"This new agreement with BTV significantly bolsters WWE's presence across the Baltic region," said Senior Vice President & Managing Director of WWE International, Dominic Hayes. "WWE Raw airing on a free-to-air network enables WWE to expand our brand and build strong business relationships throughout Lithuania."]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:04:00 EST http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328731440 http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328731440 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:27:18 EST http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328729238 http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328729238

While Christopher Daniels has been in the wrestling business for nearly two decades, he's not slowing down. And why should he. He says he's still having fun and is still evolving in wrestling, taking yet another step forward in his career.

Brian Fritz of BetweenTheRopes.com spoke with the 'Fallen Angel' about this Sunday's TNA 'Against All Odds' PPV, how he is still having fun and continues to impress others in the business, being tied with AJ Styles for a good part of his career, dressing for success, staying in shape and his love for comics.

Here are a few quotes from the interview:

On if he is getting more questions lately on how much longer he plans on wrestling for:
Yeah, I think once you get past 10, 15 years those questions are ... people want to know how long you can keep going. And I've been getting those questions for the last five years. The answer is easy. I've always said as long as I can stay healthy and I'm still having fun I'm going to keep doing it. Right now, I feel like I'm probably in the best shape of my life. I don't see an end. The day I retire is one of those days I know is going to come but I don't see it right now, especially right now enjoying the success that I'm enjoying in TNA and Impact Wrestling. I feel like I've opened the eyes of a lot of people in upper management as far as how I've sort of changed over the last year. When you start to have that success, it sort of lights that fire in your belly. That's what has been going on for me in the last couple of months. I feel like I've turned a corner and I've opened some eyes and some people appreciate what I bring to the table now.

On what he has done differently over the past year:
I don't know ... sort of let go. I think one of the main negatives or at least complaints that I've heard people say is that I take myself too seriously. One of the things I feel like at this point is I've sort of let myself go in the sense that I'm open to anything. I've always been real structured. Coming up, I always had an idea on how I should be portrayed or the way I want to portray myself and I feel in the last few months, even in the last two years, I feel like I've sort of let that go and put my trust in the people that are steering the ship. ]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:47:44 EST http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328719664 http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328719664 ]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:16:57 EST http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328717817 http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328717817 Jason Namako passed this along.

"You fit it in, that's what you do. I make sure there's a ring on location with me, anywhere that I shoot. I had a ring down in New Orleans, when I was preparing for the Madison Square Garden event. I have a ring down in Florida, a ring down in Louisiana; there's always a ring close by. In order to prep for WrestleMania, it's a lengthy training camp that requires daily work inside the ring because you can't simulate the physicality of professional wrestling.

I'm excited about WrestleMania; to be able to go back, team up with Vince [McMahon] and make a big vision like that come to life and create the biggest match-up of all time is very special to me. There's countless matches that have moved me and inspired me, and we're going to do something very special down in Miami, my hometown, sold-out Sun Life Stadium. Boots to John Cena's ass."]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:49:28 EST http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328716168 http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1328716168
