Admittedly, WWE's content is easy to access and follow - the majority of the company's fans simply turn on their televisions and watch the programming. There's no sign-up, no difficulty finding Raw or Smackdown!, and most of all, no fees. The cost bridge is a big one for fans to cross - many would rather pirate TV shows or wrestling program rather than go through the hassle of paying online and getting credit card or bank numbers involved. Good news for those fans - Mexican wrestling giant Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (the oldest continually-run wrestling promotion in the world) broadcasts a free live show every Monday night on YouTube. Airing at 10:30 EST on the league's official channel, the show is held in Arena Puebla and features the company's top stars. Even if you don't speak Spanish, the show still makes a lot more sense than Raw! Not enough for you? CMLL has another live show on YouTube every Tuesday night at 8:30 EST.
