LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – For over 30 years, wrestling fans around the world have tuned in to the WWE’s flagship program Monday Night Raw to see their favorite wrestlers. This Monday, however, that changes with the show moving from the USA Network to Netflix.
Several times the show has been broadcast live from North Little Rock, bringing wrestlers like Edge, The Big Show, Ric Flair, John Cena, Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns to central Arkansas.
Bobby Horne, head coach at Bumps and Bruises Wrestling Academy in Sherwood has even wrestled on many episodes of the show.
“I was extremely nervous the first time because I had only been in the business like three and a half years and this was the biggest thing I’d ever done,” Horne said. “So, we knew we had to make a really good impression, so I was extremely nervous, but Raw was huge.”
WWE’s ‘Monday Night Raw’ on Netflix will debut on Jan. 6 in Los Angeles
Horne said that one of his favorite memories of wrestling on Monday Night Raw was a showdown against Kevin Nash, then known as Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
