I have Dish Network. I'll check the programming guide tonight to see what channel number that is.
When will Smackdown start airing on this new network?

When will Smackdown start airing on this new network?

IIRC, the last episode on the CW is Sept. 12 and thus the first on MNT would be Sept. 19.

Is WWE really spending $20 mil on Mayweather? That money could go to something much better like getting Austin and Hogan to wrestle each other. If he is getting paid that much, we better see some 619's and 480's since Mysterio is training him.

[Andres Munoz]

What?? Really? Wow, that's a lot of money for a temporary gig.
BTW, did he really break Big Show's nose? It's hard to believe these things sometimes with wrestling being fake and all (yeah, I said it! )

I doubt that's the real number, but that's the number that is thrown out. No amount of money will get Austin and Hogan to wrestle one another. That match will never happen not because of money but because neither wants to lose to the other under any situation, they have bad feelings going back to WCW.
Andres, he most certainly did break Big Show's nose.

Rey Mysterio is Out of action from 6 to 9 months.

The demandments of Hulkamania, training, saying your prayers, taking your vitamins...well, they may have a new one.
Seeing that the original source is the enquirer, a grain of salt or 10 is required but still...

 

[Andres Munoz]

Pool Rey has no luck.
Hogan? No coment...

You guys need to go to wwe.com and click on the newly launched industry news section. This is the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

 

[oscar_merkx]

Hi Casey
You are spot on about this.
Cheers

 

[Andres Munoz]

I went to the websit but couldn't find the news. What's up?

 

[oscar_merkx]

Just that some of the fan websites like wrestlezone.com have found a new home.

 

[Andres Munoz]

Now I see the Industry News link but I get a javascript error when I click on it so I don't know what the news are.

 

[teapot2001]

They're even showing news for TNA.

[Casey Trowbridg]

I never thought I'd ever see the day where I could find news about Chikara King of Trios 2008 and TNA Lockdown on WWE.com. It is kind of cool but still totally out of character for WWE.

 

[oscar_merkx]

Casey
I am not so sure about that.
Vince McMahon has always outsmarted his competitors ever since Bob Backlund threw in the towel against the Iron Sheik.
Cheers

Oscar, you would've never seen that kind of thing in the height of the Monday Night War. Vince doesn't typically acknowlege the existance of other wrestling companies and has had no inclination to ever promote one (save for ECW when he could get something in return).

 

[teapot2001]

It was worse before the Monday Night War. I hated how WWF wouldn't acknowledge where someone came from before or if they were already in WWF before. I think Ric Flair was the only one who they somewhat acknowledge came from another promotion.

Ugh, the Mayweather and Big Show segment last night was horrible. Mayweather just plain sucks talking and his facial expressions are terrible.

A major star is
suspended for 60 days and this man is a huge fool if you ask me.

Some people just never learn. Guess that push to the top is over. Reminds me of the situation w/ RVD, just as he had finally reached the top.
