Unless my memory fails me, when contract talks between WWF & USA came up (& WWF was still riding the tail-end of the ratings boom), didnt Vince want them to stop pre-empting RAW for the dog show and USA refused? | Nag

I actually liked the dog show, in the same weird way I like telethons. | CRZ

| #10 Posted on 15.2.05 1258.54 Reposted on: 15.2.12 1259.01 | Last night the wife and I saw a commercial for the dog show. She said she wanted to watch it, but I expressed my early childhood "wrestling has been pre-empted" trauma. It runs quite deep.
