Dave Meltzer discussed the plans for a weekly UK television show on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer said that he was told five days ago that there are still plans for a weekly show despite the project being sidelined due to budget costs.

Originally the idea was to have the weekly series kick off back in June, but that never happened. As of this writing there are no dates for tapings confirmed but they idea is to have the weekly series up and going by the end of the year.
