They have contacted a few others such former TBS President Bill Shaw, who really helped to bring WCW in the spotlight in the early 90s. He declined too.
I am sure former WCW wrestlers and current WWE wrestlers from WCW will participate: like Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Chavo Guerrero, and others.
Jericho left WCW before it fell, so he was not a big time fan of the product when he left it. However, I am sure he has some kind things to say about it. Chavo came in during the Invasion storyline, and about a year after that, Mysterio came into the WWE.
So those three are pretty much a lock to be in the DVD.
Keeping in the entertainment industry and TNA, I have some terrible news for fans
TNA is interested in bringing in another celebrity in Spencer Pratt from The dumbest show in TV, The Hills.
The only reason it actually stays around is because of the pure hotness of Lauren Conrad, but that is about it.
Anyway, TNA is kind of dumb to bring him in. If you look over celebrities being in wrestling historically, you will find that it actually does not help ratings improve.
Sure it makes you think, "wow we can get celebrities in," But TNA, believe me when I tell you, no one cares about Pratt.
On a side note, he is marrying long time girlfriend Hiedi Montag and they have been rumored to be getting married twice now. Apparently, they will keep getting married until someone puts it in a magazine, as if people care.
I beg of you to not do it TNA, it just isn't worth it.
Keeping with TNA...they are finally settling their lawsuit with former wrestler Konnan.
The lawsuit was about his racial discrimination and kidney issues. It is reported that they are getting out pretty good, only paying him $50,000.
I know that is a lot, but not nearly as much as it could have been.
On a recap from the WWE Shareholders meeting...Vince claimed that they would not be trying to feud against the MMA business, then said "They are a sport, it is not what we do. We are entertainment"
Like other halls-of-fame, Vince McMahon wants to have a spot in the United States where people can visit. He said, "The hall-of-fame is in my head for now."
Also, the WWE wants to fill in the Wednesday slot. They currently have a show for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday for PPVs.
They had a Saturday and Sunday show for sometime.
Velocity was Saturday.
And Heat was Sunday.
Velocity was discontinued after a few years, but Heat had been around for a long time.
It was on MTV for the longest, then made its way to WWE.com.
They felt it wasn't worth trying to keep it going, so they ended it
Also, Vince McMahon knows about the possible ending on MyNetwork TV. It is said it will gone by sometime in 2010, for now.
It is the least watched local channel on TV today, other than Fridays. They have beaten other shows in certain times a few times, but not as much as they would like.
MyNetwork TV does not have a lot of regular programming, as they mainly syndicate older shows during the week.
So the fact they are losing money makes sense.
Vince claimed that there are many other channels they can go to if MyNetwork TV goes under. Apparently they have been contacted a bit.
