Ring X (401): the wrestling network

Status: agreed with Paul 3 November 2026, configured and installed in 0.93.0. PPV Sunday is approved in direction as a separate build.

Identity: a real wrestling network: the archive by day, a flagship show each weeknight evening, documentaries late, and (to come) a classic pay-per-view on Sunday evenings.

Weeknights, 18:00 to 23:00:

  • Monday Night Wars: WWE Raw and WCW Monday Nitro.
  • Tuesday Impact Night: IMPACT! Wrestling and NWA-TNA.
  • Wednesday AEW Night: Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, Dark: Elevation, Battle of the Belts.
  • Thursday: WWE SmackDown and WCW Thunder.
  • Friday ECW: ECW Hardcore TV, ECW on Sci Fi, Wrestling Society X.
  • Saturday, alternative and international: Ring of Honor, ROH On HonorClub, NJPW Strong, Lucha Underground, W.O.W., Game Changer Wrestling.

Daytime, 06:00 to 23:00 outside those evenings (and all Sunday until PPV Sunday): the vault: WWF Prime Time Wrestling, WWE Heat, WCW Clash of the Champions, WCW Saturday Night, WWE Main Event, NXT, Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling, ECW Hardcore TV.

Late, 23:00 to 06:00: documentaries and NXT: Dark Side of the Ring, The Monday Night War, WWE Untold, WWE Rivals, Biography: WWE Legends, WWE Icons, Ruthless Aggression, Who Killed WCW?, The Wrestlers, Wrestlers, WWE Legends House.

Order: every show in its own episode order. No RAW-against-Nitro airdate pairing until the metadata is verified (programming bible).

Library, 3 November 2026: about 30 real wrestling series (the original list's guessed WWF, PPV and Attitude names mostly don't exist as series; they stay on the list in case they appear), and about 450 events stored as films (WWE 266, AEW 65, WCW 42, NJPW 38, ECW 26, TNA and Impact 33, ROH 11, NWA Starrcades), median 170 minutes, for PPV Sunday.

PPV Sunday (0.94.0): one classic event every Sunday from the 52 in PpvSunday (ChannelIdentities.kt), spaced so every part of the year mixes WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, AEW, NWA, NJPW, TNA/Impact and ROH, never the same promotion two weeks running. Each event airs once before any repeats; the place is saved and survives restarts. The programmes before it are chosen, in their normal turn where possible, to finish so the event starts between 19:00 and 19:20; nothing is cut. Exactly one event starts each Sunday, and it runs to its natural end, past midnight if need be. Events are found by exact identity; one that can't be found or played is logged and skipped, never replaced, and Sunday stays the vault with no gap if none is available.
