Google has announced that the most popular video sharing site on the planet, YouTube, will now offer full-length, current episodes of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) programming.
The new deal will include current episodes of Friday Night Smackdown, WWE NXT, WWE Superstars, and ECW.
Additionally, there will be more footage from Monday Night Raw, classic matches, and interview videos with "WWE Superstars and Divas like John Cena, Chris Jericho and Alicia Fox."
The WWE's official YouTube channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WWEFanNation
YouTube's new deal should help it compete with "catch-up" programming services like Hulu, since the WWE will be making brand new episodes available within 24 hours of its broadcast day.
