-Scott Hall’s foot was ran over after Superbrawl but Scott Hall vs Booker
T is very likely for Uncensored.
-Eric Bischoff expressed his opinion about the WWF and his own company
recently on a Cincinnati radio station. One thing Eric did say is that Scott
Steiner has been banned from live TV broadcasts for his inappropriate
language.
-Chad has not been able to confirm the rumor concerning Chirs Jericho
getting offered a contract near $1 million. He knows that WCW is gearing
up for an offer to Chris though.
-Chad is not a fan of Phil Mushlick and feels he has gained popularity
because of his WWF bashing. But he did find some interesting stats
concerning the WWF and Monday Night RAW. Chad gives off some stats
that have been on the net covered by AP and MSNBC.
-Randy Savage will be on Mad About You and Hogan will be on Suddenly
Susan. Ross Foreman will be working with Savage getting the Macho Man
some coverage. Savage’s return should be huge.
-Brian Clark aka Wrath has been used on Mortal Kombat. He is getting
some time off so he can be fierce again when he returns.
-Chad welcomes Rikki Rackman to the broadcast team. Looks like he will
replace Gene at the Nitro parties. Funny hearing Gene talk about those
parties backstage. Gene hated doing those parties and hated people
touching his bald head.
-Torrie Wilson is getting paid per appearance after they figure what to do
with the David Flair angle she will likely get offered a contract.
-Chad starts talking about an Adult Film Co. called Exteme Associates and
how they plan on doing a big cross promotion with ECW. Expect that in the
future.
-Sad news as Madden reports the death of Rick Wilson aka the Renegade
at age 33. He gives a brief history of the former WCW employee. Debuted
March 1995 had a run as TV champ beating Arn Anderson but lost the
strap to DDP. He was trained by Killer Kowalski. Madden gives his
condolences to the family.
-Some debate on whether the name Torrie Wilson will use in WCW. Either Torrie
or Samantha. She should be known as Torrie though since she was well
known before WCW. She will be on Baywatch next month. Got to wonder
how long she will be with David since he is not ready to become a wrestler.
His TV time will go down but he sure hope Wilson’s will go up. She is
getting paid on per night basis. WCW better tie her up to a long term deal.
Madden wants to tie her up to some bed posts.
-Madden wants to shoot down an internet rumor. Chris Jericho has not
been offered a $750,000 or 925,000 a year contract. WCW may be
preparing for a huge offer like that but they haven’t yet. Main thing is
Jericho wants out of mid-card status. Moving to the WWF might not be
where it’s at. If Jericho can get the big bucks in WCW they would have to
justify his contract by giving him a main event push sometime.
-Word is Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows will become a feature
motion picture.
-Speaking of Bret Hart expect the Hitman to gather a gang of wrestlers
around him very soon possibly this Monday on Nitro.
-Great leadership move by Kevin Nash to lose to Rey Mysterio Jr. Maybe
a rematch between those two at Uncensored. Nash wants to make the ring
attitude more like Japan where anybody can beat anyone at any time. But
he will stick with the America style of the backstage videos and pre-taped
happenings.
-Madden saw Macho Mans backstage at Superbrawl his new ring outfit
looked liked something Koko B. Ware would wear. His valet Gorgeous
George looked great she could wear anything and look good....or nothing
for that matter.
-Look for Ric Flair to pull something so he remains President of WCW
longer maybe even on a permanent basis.
-WCW will be teaming up with MTV March 2nd in Cancun Mexico for
Spring Break ‘99. They will feature a mini battle royal. WCW that will
appear will be Chris Jericho, Perry Saturn, Rey Mysterio Jr., Chavo
Guerrero Jr., Billy Kidman and Hugh Morris. Raven and Jimmy Hart will be
doing some commentating.
-World Championship Wrestling Classics will be part of a new cable
network announced on Wednesday by Turner Broadcasting. Turner South
will debut in the fall as the first regional cable entertainment network,
targeting six southeastern states.
-After the bloody brawl between Hollywood Hogan and Ric Flair at
Superbrawl, a First Blood match might be up next.
-The Disney company Buena Vista will promote and help out financially
with ECW’s PPVs. They will share in the PPV profit increases. This is
great for ECW.
-Hotline changes for Mark Madden. He will be on Tuesdays and Fridays
now and if you forgot he is still the self proclaimed only real journalist in
pro-wrestling.
