Squared Circle

The nature boy returned to the ring tonight to a thunderous reaction from the sold out crowd on Raw . He gave all the usual thanks and gratitude to the fans and was then interrupted by Jericho. I don’t know where the hell they are going with all of this but you got to believe that Mickey Rourke will be involved in some way .

News on the net work level. The My TV Network has been for all practical purposes down graded from a First run TV network to what News corp is calling a hybrid network , which is just another way of saying that they have another network to show House And Law and Order reruns on . Oddly enough the only first run original programming that they aren’t cutting is Smack Down. Because of the numbers they have been pulling down they have cart blanche on a entire TV channel. Now it seems to me that the head of a company that is suppose to a visionary and who wants to branch out into film production could use this to their advantage . Use your talent and develop some made for TV movies, may be a series. I seem to recall them saying they would like to have their own cable channel a few months ago, I’m just sayin.

The WWE has yet again plucked fruit from the second generation tree. The son of former WWF and WCW star Haku has signed a developmental contract and will start in Florida Championship Wrestling in a few weeks. I know that this is the popular thing to do right know while they are pushing Orton’s Legacy group , but good genes doesn’t make a good wrestler . You take a lot of chances investing time in money in people that who’s only claim is they grew up in the business instead of using resources of the net to scout talent all over the country. There are a lot of guys out there on the Indy circuit that with a little seasoning , could be stars on TV. You just have to know where to look.

This brings my to my next point. Eric Bischoff has been making a whole lot of noise over the net the past few months which says to me that he is up to something big. First he pops off about Matt Hardy being a mid card guy who should be grateful for what he has. Next he starts talking about how Vince was going to have CCW clone out soon and the reason he was so mad about it was that he got beaten to the punch by him and Hogan. Trust me people , Bischoff is working on something big or he wouldn’t be taking shots at TNA and WWE.

After the some what lackluster TNA PPV this past , I would like to throw this out to TNA Creative . Abyss has been doing a hybrid Mankind for a while and it’s starting to get a little stale . If they could find a way to involve Foley and Abyss to advance Aybss’s character , that would generate a great deal of interest . This is the type of thing that lends to the talk from Bischoff that the TNA creative isn’t up to the challenge.
