The WWE Experience, hosted by Josh Matthews, is a television series produced by World Wrestling Entertainment which recaps events taking place on RAW, SmackDown & ECW that started in May 2004.
The show was originally hosted by Todd Grisham and Ivory. The setting was outdoors and usually around New York City. When WWE programming moved to the USA Network during September 2005, The WWE Experience was cancelled in America to later be replaced with WWE A.M. RAW, but the show continued to be produced for the overseas audience. The filming was moved to the WWE studios in Stamford, Connecticut under the excuse that Grisham hated to film in the rain. Ivory was released from WWE a few weeks before the cancellation of the show in the USA. In July of 2006, Todd Grisham was replaced as host by Josh Matthews. On air, Matthews reportedly said, "No reason, Todd's gone, [Josh is] here, deal with it", but occasionally Todd Grisham hosts the show.
There is also a different version of the show that now airs on the Canadian Sports Network The Score on Sundays from 7-8 pm est. It recaps all the WWE shows- RAW, SmackDown and ECW. It is hosted by The Score's own Ryan Paton, produced by Sam Cistaro & Edited by Jason Whissell and Kevin D. Broome. It first aired on Sunday October 8, 2006 and now airs every Sunday.
The WWE Experience still airs in international markets to fulfill programming commitments; it recaps RAW, SmackDown & ECW and is aired on channels such as Sky One and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, and on FOX8 in Australia. And in South Asia on Ten Sports, in Latin America on FX Latin America, in Italy on Sky Sport 2, and in Philippines on Jack TV, etc.
