Hogan told The Sun that he and Eric Bischoff are very close to signing a television deal with a major United States network. Hogan commented, “Last night me and Eric were getting ready to sign a deal with one of the TV networks here in America. We had a little bit of a problem with the licensing and merchandising, which has delayed it. But I totally expect we’re going to sign the TV portion of this very soon, because there’s no point in starting any sort of wrestling organization without the TV locked in place.” Hogan says after the television deal is locked, they will make an official announcement. Hulk on went to tell The Sun that the new product he and Bischoff plan to launch will be a product similar to WWE but he “prays to God it’s nothing like what is on TV now” and even refers to WWE's product as "boring programming." When asked what they plan on doing for talent the Hulkster said, “There are a lot of unhappy campers in the WWE and there are also a new breed of wrestlers that Vince McMahon hasn’t explored yet, that we have. And I’m in better shape than I have been for about 10 years.” Last edited by rlm : 02-16-2008 at 07:18 PM. |

| Ya Rly!  | If Hogan and Bischoff were smart, they'd bring in some of the indy stars from ROH and other feds, put some real effort into the writing, and let the wrestlers do their thing. Hogan can at least teach the wrestlers how to involve the crowds and get them to care. For all of his faults, no one does that better than him. |

| The Wicked One  | I'll try and start the thread tomorrow for us. While you're there give Hornswoggle a big cheer for us. LOL jk Well I'm thrilled that Cena isn't champ. I new taker and HHH would win the EC matches. You know that at Wrestlemania it will be HHH VS Orton VS Cena. |

| Senior Member  | You guys are so negative, No Way Out was great last night. Mayweather/Big Show was the best celebrity angle since Tyson/Austin. In fact, it was probably better even though I'm sure it won't get the same amount of media attention. If WWE don't screen the majority of the angle on TV this week, then they're really doing themselves a disservice because every wrestling fan should see it. The amount of blood might make it difficult on Smackdown though. Once Big Daddy V and Khali were out the way, both Chamber matches were awesome. You can scoff at the results with Triple H winning but Jeff Hardy kicking out the pedigree was one of the best nearfalls you'll ever see. And Cena/Orton was tons of fun and I'm sure you would have all enjoyed it with the amount of Cena hate you have. A split crowd that was molten the entire match. And I like Cena but the section of the crowd singing the goodbye song whilst he left the ring was really funny. |

| I kinda regret going to Raw. Show itself sucked. During the big show/mayweather segment some audience members were leaving and getting food and using the bathroom. Many chants of "boring". Hornswoggle/vince cage match had me clapping. I brought a sign that simply said "Hornswoggle Sucks". I was marking out, some kids near me were crying. I laughed. I got some looks but it made my night really. I did bring a Lilian sign, it was "Lilian Makes Raw". Which is true. She saw it as she walked down during the opening of the show and waved. She saw it a few more times during the show while announcing and pointed. Pretty cool. Also got a ****ing headache cause of the Cena fans, ****....Our little group cheered when HHH pedigree'ed his ass into the mat when cena won. Fun stuff. I was upset Flair wasnt on, Maria beating beth phoenix pissed me off, Candice returning was great but she was out for like 1 min and where I was sitting I didnt get a good view. I took 7 photos total, 3 are of Lilian and 4 are of Hardy. Other then that nothing major to note. Didnt meet anyone, I may not attend another wwe show again anytime soon till the wwe product gets better. I thought the Heat tapings were better then Raw itself. As I type this I didnt get much sleep. I got home at 11:20pm, went to bed, had to get up at 4:30am for work so im groggy and have like a "buzz" feel despite not drinking. |

| Member of Sylar's Army | have jeff hardy retire flair. they seem to have been pushing him already. why not him? stuff Stephanie McMahon is reportedly expecting a baby girl, which would be her second, this summer. Amish Roadkill's firing from WWE two weeks ago was triggered over something he did. What happened is that he was selling WWE merchandise at a gimmick table at some Ohio Valley Wrestling house shows. That's a huge no-no in WWE as they don't want any of their wrestlers under contract selling merchandise at shows. Someone in OVW reported Roadkill to the office and he was let go. The Great Khali's translator/manager, Ranjin Singh, is going to be off television indefinitely. Singh was "injured" this past Sunday at No Way Out. According to an article on WWE.com, Singh sustained a fractured patella after he was kicked from the entrance of the Elimination Chamber to the ground by Undertaker at No Way Out. According to the article. Singh also shattered his knee cap in three different places when he landed hard on the ground. According to the article, doctors say Singh will require surgery to repair the injury, and there is no timetable on when he'll be able to return. Singh is actually fine as this is just a storyline. No word yet if this was simply a way to write his character off of television. Nick Dinsmore returned to Ohio Valley Wrestling last week to do a TV angle where he woke up from a bad dream of being Eugene. Going by the angle, his time as Eugene was all dream. He is now back to being Nick Dinsmore doing his old "Mr. Wrestling" gimmick and wearing regular tights again. He defeated contracted WWE developmental wrestler Andrew Vain on last week's OVW TV show.
