News 4/25
« on: April 25, 2004, 04:49:00 PM »
TNA is getting around to signing more talent.. in anticipation that they will be able to finalize a deal with FOX Sports.  Personally.. I wish TNA luck in getting that TV Deal.. as it is the frist stepping stone towards getting real competition going again.  The word backstage.. is that talent think the deal is already done.. and that Jarrett is keeping it quiet for now. Scott Hudson car accident update.. Car totalled.. Hudson lived. Talent hate the fact that Russo is not "selling" as he showed no fear to Abyss. (typical Russo disrespect to talent/gimicks)

Take this with a grain of salt.. but Brock Lesnars Agent had been quoted by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as stating "14 NFL teams now have an active interest in Brock.. blah blah blah.. and Brock made a reported 10$ in 4 years in OVw/WWE.

As other members of this forum have reported.. Show's Knee Surgury was a success.. and he will be out for a few months.

WWE dumping Austin Merchandise at 50% of normal retail costs.. despite AUSTIN items outselling the rest of the inventory 2:1.  Guess that amicable split wasn't so amicable..  last time.. McMahon didn'
t slash and burn prices.. he made more of the product.  Things change.

WWE heading back to Japan for dates in July.. 16/17th in Budokan Hall. Part of the Smackdown Euro/Asian tour.

DVD releases...
WWE announces the DVD release of Wrestlemania XX with an April 27, 2004 shelf date.  4.5 hours plsu 2x45 minute specials added to round out this set.
Benoit DVD 2 disc set 7/27
Eddie Geurrero DVD 9/28
Bleeps/bloopers and bodyslams 9/14
HBK: Boyhood Dreams 9/14
Rise & Fall of ECW in November 2004

Masked Wrestler/Jobber on Smackdown was Paul London, formerly ECWA Super 8 Winner.

JR seems to still be "active" in acquiring talent.. despite new position. On BYTE THIS.. he said he is still trying to bring back Jeff Hardy.  He also took the time to slam internet media for misreporting the WWE/Austin Split. (look earlier in this article for my opinion on the matter) JR also noted that WWE never offered Bill Goldberg a contract/extension beyond WMXX. That means recent reports from BILL himself are bullshit.. of JR is full of it.

I wonder how much, if any, money Austin will get from the sales
