The top US mobile service provider, Cingular Wireless, owned by At&t announced a three-year agreement with World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. through which it will be offering various content such as ringtones with famous wrestlers' voices, graphics, videos as well as weekly matches and the annual spring tournament.

So wrestling fans will soon get to see their favorite professional
wrestlers in all their might, on the screen of their mobile phones, being able to enjoy the wide variety of content and quality services.

For the customers that have 3G capable mobile phones, several World Wrestling videos, like Slam of the Week or WWE news, will be available included in Cingular's $19.99 a month media service plan.

The wireless carrier will also be selling a premium video package, which includes highlights from WrestleMania and other shows, for an extra $4.99 a month.

The company that is soon to be rebranded as At&t will also be offering WrestleMania Magic Moments which will feature ringtones for $2.49 or graphics for $1.99, of some of the best moments in the history of the biggest night in sports-entertainment.

According to spokesman Mark Siegel, Cingular will launch the service next Thursday on phones with high-speed web links with video clips, while new features will be added throughout the following months. He also mentioned that he believes quite a few out of the 61 million customers Cingular currently has, are wrestling fans.

In the end, it's up to the customers to decide whether a mobile phone screen is fit to deliver a clear image of their favorite wrestling superstars.
