You know, I was thinking the other day about why the WOW concept failed, and I came to the same conclusion: because the shows aren't three-dimensional! Yeah, that's it...
EXCLUSIVE JAM-PACKED Randy Orson interview!!! EXCLUSIVE JAM-PACKED book review of Jerry The King Lawyer!!! Plus the end of an EXCLUSIVE JAM-PACKED era and more in the latest Inside The Ropes!!!
Well, with characters like Becky the Farmer's Daughter and Slam Dunk, you could make a case for too many 2-D cardboard cutout characters...
Thank god for the WWE games. Create-a-Wrestler == create your own wholly viable and interesting all-women's division with a variety of gimmicks and fighting styles without resorting to black widows and sexy nurses and such.
With the recent success of Spy Kids 3-D, there is obviously a resurgence in our collective minds for three dimensional entertainment. Just think about how much new business will come to the Honey, I Blew Up The Kid show at Disneyland.
Seriously though, I loved WOW for its kitsch value as much as the next guy, but I don't really need or want special glasses to view another bad Jungle GrRl squashing of Bronco Billie.
I'm amazed that they are going to release DVDs of all the episodes. (Although I would buy the first DVD as I never got to see the very first episode.) But hey, whatever brings Beckie back onto my TV!
Molly, Stacy and Daffney all in WWE? I suddenly lost all my will to complain about anything regarding the WWE. Hope I don't lose my street cred for this.
TS, the greatest Wiener rated 6.1554 ever to live!! Oops, I mean 5.5...4.5?? Oh, dammit! I guess Notorious FAB was right.

This is weird. I'm pretty sure I read about this same company putting out this same press release, except using GLOW in place of WOW, something like two months ago.
Ohhhhhh... WELL, it looks like they cancelled THAT deal the day before they announced THIS one:
And don't forget the other former IC champ, the Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich. Also, the World's Strongest Man, Dino Bravo. They wrestled each other, actually at WM VII, I believe.
