HDNet to air all nine hours of DREAM NYE event live

Starting on Saturday, December 31, at 1:00 AM EST (10 PM PT Friday evening, Dec. 30), HDNet will be broadcasting all nine hours of the DREAM: Fight for Japan: Genkidesuka!! Oomisoka!! 2011 New Year event. Yes, 'DREAM: Fight for Japan: Genkidesuka!! Oomisoka!! 2011' is the event's official name.

Replays will show portions of the event, but this will be the only opportunity to catch the entire show live and in its entirety.

Definitely just catching a replay of fights I want to see. Not staying up all night to see through a bunch of faggy pro wrestling nonsense

Last years was better, so I will stay up for this until I pass out.

The pro wrestling kills it for me, Ihave no interest in that at all.

Here's what the current card looks like and don't forget that it all starts on December 30th at 10:00 pm PST and will end at around 7:00 am PST the next morning only on HDNet.

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Satoshi Ishii

Ryo Chonan vs. Hayato "Mach" Sakurai

Champ Shinya Aoki vs. Satoru Kitaoka (for lightweight title)

Yuichiro Nagashima vs. Katsunori Kikuno (mixed-rules bout)

Champ Hiroyuki Takaya vs. Takeshi "Lion" Inoue (for featherweight title)

Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Kazuyuki Miyata

Rodolfo Marques Diniz vs. Bibiano Fernandes (bantamweight grand-prix semifinal)

Antonio Banuelos vs. Masakazu Imanari (bantamweight grand-prix semifinal)

Hideo Tokoro vs. Yusup Saadulaev (bantamweight grand-prix reserve match)

Karla Benitez vs. Megumi Fujii

Yuta Kubo vs. Nils Widlund (kickboxing match)

Masaaki Noiri vs. Kengo Sonoda (kickboxing match)

Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Peter Aerts (pro-wrestling match)

Atsushi Sawada and Shinichi Suzukawa vs. Kazushi Sakuraba and Katsuyori Shibata (pro-wrestling match)

Josh Barnett vs. Hideki Suzuki (pro-wrestling match)

Jerome Le Banner vs. Tim Sylvia (pro-wrestling match)

I really wish I could see Le Banner KO Sylvia. Don't know why the hell they would make that a pro wrestling match. Hopefully one of them has a ego or pride problem and a fight breaks out.

I heard Hulk Hogan is gonna be on the undercard against the Big Boss Man.

a prime timmy would ko jerome in an mma match. Glad to see the pro wrestler barnett back. Dont know if u guys have seen some of his previous wrestling matches but the guy actually puts on good comical matches.

btw, anyone know if ufc 144 will be aired this way. It is taking place on a sunday and last time the ufc did a card with an off time zone that wasnt in the uk or australia it began at 1 pm in abu dabi. If anything i was actually considering goin but price for tix are not up yet and round trip flight is 1700 from tx

Card is starting at the normal time in US. Like 10 am in Japan or something

on sunday though? I thought i read somewer on the ufc website it would take place on sunday or do they mean sunday japan, sat us

Well, DREAM better go dig up Big Boss Man then...because he dead

Not sure how I'm going about this yet. Might wait until hour or so in to start watching and fast forward through the pro wrestling shit.

Well, if the order is correct...i probably will sleep and wont start watching until the first BW GP bout and watch from there. That might give me 3 hours sleep. I havent made it through a full Dynamite card yet.

It starts at 10pm pacific Friday night.

I might start watching around 3am Saturday morning then start fast forwarding through shit which should take about an hour or two to get up to live time.

I hope the fights are like you put down GDP. I found this order on a site that said it was finalized.

when you refer to 'pro wrestling match', are we talking about staged nonsense like the WWF?

Yes.

There is nothing fake and staged about the World Wildlife Fund
