How big can high-def news get? How about pump-you-up muscle-bound behemoth big? And sexy-blonde-babe big, too.
Latest to announce HD plans is World Wrestling Entertainment, which says it’ll beam its national matches in HD starting next week (Jan. 21).
“Friday Night SmackDown” on The CW goes HD Jan. 25 to broadcast stations around the country. Cable/satellite homes that get HD feeds of USA and Sci Fi get more clarity in “WWE’s Monday Night RAW” and “A.M. RAW” (USA), plus “ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling” (Sci Fi). Even WWE pay-per-view outings like Jan. 27’s “Royal Rumble” will offer high-def sweat.
Thanks to the switchover, WWE has built new sets for “RAW” and “SmackDown.” No word yet on any work done to make the wrestlers HD-ready.
