WWE stars Beth Phoenix and Vladimir Kozlov will portray his girlfriend and best friend, respectively.
This actually has potential. Vlad was on the Abraham Washington Show (guest-hosted by Santino even), and was being all goofy rather than doing his impression of Lance Storm doing his impression of Sam The Eagle. Call it morbid curiosity.

"In two weeks, we're filming the first three episodes," he added. "It will air at first on the dot com, then after that we will get it to a network television.
Yea, I'm thinking no on that.

I am not sure I would put Thunder in the same category as Learning the Ropes. Thunder was bad, but I can think of many shows that were worse. There's bad, and there is Saturday morning live action bad.
The odd thing is, Santino hasn't been funny for nearly a year, so now they decide to give him a sitcom? I understand wanting to branch out, but how about writing a consistently good wrestling show first?

I'm guessing "to a network television" means "as a 4-minute segment on one of the existing WWE shows". | rv581

WWE creative, you've done it again. Bravo, sirs. Bravo.

Too bad WB isn't on the air any more.

If this was really happening, how come some AMERICAN outfit isn't reporting the news? I mean...it's AOL UK. You know, check that - it's not even AOL UK, it's an AOL UK *BLOG*. We're talking several degrees removed from, say, Variety here. I don't want to be all high and mighty given the topic we're discussing, but there are sources and then there are sources, n'est ce pas?
It seems more likely, if this actually happens, that this would air as a segment during one of the existing shows - immediately followed by the requisite stampede of smarks rushing here and elsewhere on the tubes to complain about how there ain't any wrestling during the sports entertainment show anymore.
