"They was a story going around that after Goldust left, Russo pitched the idea to have Tom Green be the GTV guy, but that never happened."
Yeah, I heard that too. McMahon said no because he didn't know who Tom Green was (this was before he hit it big, obviously).
Tom Green in the WWF could have been funny, but Russo liked making EVERYONE wrestle if he could, and Tom Green trying to wrestle wouldn't be a good thing.
GTV was ALMOST explained. Headbanger Mosh (Chaz) had been accussed of beating his girlfriend. It came to the point where he was "arrested" on TV. Then, Headbanger Thrash (Glen) made his "triumphant return" by introducing a GTV clip of Mosh's girlfriend painting on fake bruises and muttering about getting Chaz put in jail. I saw this as an admission that GTV was Glen TV. It was the last GTV clip. I thought that was it and that that was enough of an explanation. The Headbanger reunion lasted a week or two and I haven't heard from them since.

Eh, to me, that's not a very good payoff. I mean, the guy behind all of these big GTV clips was HEADBANGER THRASH? Ehh...

Oh, I agree, it wasn't a good payoff at all... but it was ENOUGH. The angle died a slow death. It should have ended well before it did and been more important, but it didn't. My point is only that it was FINISHED, not that it was any good.
After Goldust left GTV was just something the WWF would pull out of it's ass from time to time for a cheap angle. I wouldn't mind seeing them bring it back, but I like Goldust better when he's being a creep than just being a goofy gay guy.
the wwf dropped the ball from the beginning because at the start it was GDTV...
GolDust TV...
then they dropped the D shortly after he left the WWF...

i'm sure they could work something out.... a creepy goldust is kinda cool.... gay funny goldust just sucks... and that's why i didn't like him towards the end of his last run....
I AM THE BEST there is, was and ever will be!!!! Dont you wish that you were me??? no?.... i've got two words for ya!
I always thought GTV was a clever device--hope they bring it back. Much better than "accidentally leaving the camera on during the commercial break" which I believe is what they've used since then.

Yeah have it on..... and have RTC running it!.... HAHAHAHA... j/k.... didn't the shower thing happen when RTC showed chyna the video?... or is my memory just bad at the moment?

I stand corrected. I had forgotten that the Eddie Guerrero GTV shower incedent happened a full year after Glen "Headbanger Thrasher" saved his buddy from arrest. Was GTV used in between those incedents? yes. yes it was... maybe I just had convinced myself that the angle had been explained so that I wouldn't go insane... who the hell lifted that briefcase, anyway... ARGH!
Wasn't there some angle with Mark Henry being behind GTV right before the whole Mae Young thing and his disappearance from TV?
He was long giz-one when the Chyna/Eddie Angle went diz-own.

I assumed it had a point at first, and then degenerated into "Well, we're too lazy to actually introduce this, so let's run GTV and make it look sneaky". We're thinking about this too much.
I may be wrong here, but wasn't it originally called "GDTV" for a couple weeks until Runnels was let go? After he left it was renamed GTV. No other real point to this post, other than seeing if anyone else remembers this.
If it really was cleary Shane's fault and management knows it but wont say it, wouldnt it make more sense for them to not blame anyone than to blame Test, who is clearly not at fault?
