I found this an interesting read. Regardless of how we feel about things going down on TV, it looks like Vince is making money and that's what matters.
Two things that jumped out at me from this article:
1) The prospect of a movie that will surely be to Matt Hocking's liking, "Among the initiatives is WWE Films, which is doing everything from an action-adventure with Stone Cold to a horror flick with 7-foot villain Kane.
2) Perhaps adding fuel to the rumors that have been cropping up lately about an ECW redux, from Vince himself "And Vince is interested in a late-night franchise that he describes as "a little racier and a little more wild West" than the current two brands."
Toil not to gain wealth, cease to be concerned about it. Proverbs 23:4
Look like the rumor you posted about a third WWE brand wasn't entirely off. No specific mention of a third brand, but a new style of show at the very least.
And just because I know *somebody* is going to ask about the grandfather comment.. No, Stephanie isn't pregnant. Shane and Marissa are due to have a baby this month.
I've been watching the stock prices for a few months now and it's gone up nearly $3 just in that short time. I always thought it was kind of funny when people would state they couldn't believe the investors would allow Vince to do this or that angle (usually involving himself or another McMahon.) First of all, the investors don't have enough sway to force McMahon to do anything. (I thought it was 25% or 35%, but according to this article they only control 20%.) Secondly, the investors could care less how the ratings are doing as long as they're making money, which they have been.
But hey.... Vince admits he's not the smartest person in the company *and* HHH isn't even mentioned. Whatever is there to bitch about now? (Oh, I know, the insinuation that Randy Orton is as popular as The Rock.)

With that cast and writing, I would definitely spend money on that.
I'm shocked I havn't heard rumors that Shane O Mac would be the movie's hero. I can't imagine any possible way to make this a good movie unless it was an Excalibur joint. I just don't see any possible way to make Freddy Kruegar appear in WWE or vice versa.
"dubya never talks while cheney is drinking water...check that shit out"
Thanks guys and girl, but after a look through of the article, I think I'd be more interested in being attached to this project.

Benoit (aside): I wonder why Triple H is not selling for me! Perhaps I should use my Dragon Suplex! HHH (aside): This guy is more powerful than I had thought! But I will beat him with my mastery of trickery! Benoit: I WILL DEFEAT YOU TRIPLE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HHH: Swinging Sledgehammer attack!! Benoit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HHH: UUUUUUUUUUUUH! Benoit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HHH: UUUUUUUUUUUUH! Benoit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HHH: UUUUUUUUUUUUH! Benoit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HHH: UUUUUUUUUUUUH! Benoit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HHH: UUUUUUUUUUUUH! Benoit (aside): Too, strong! Must go to Heat, to recover! Will be back to fight for another 34 episodes.
Benoit falls down the card.
HHH: That's right. Nobody can beat...The Game! RF: Wooo! Let's go rape and pillage the women of Smackdown. DBD: Batista SMASH THE EARTH! HHH: No, Dave!

Apparently after about a year or more of discussion & planning there is a second NWA promotion in my area now. Its first card was run May 21, 2011 & should have DVD's available soon.
