News on Bischoff's new wrestling promotion

[chessarmy]

We can now confirm that Eric Bischoff is definitely in talks with CMT about starting up a new wrestling promotion with Hulk Hogan after the "Celebrity Wrestling" reality show run ends. The general feeling is that CMT will get more serious with talks depending on how well celebrity wrestling show does.

Many see this move as pretty difficult with almost no big-name talent not under contract to WWE, TNA or Ring of Honor right now with the exception of Bill Goldberg, Rob Van Dam and Bobby Lashley. However mid-card talent shouldn't be a problem. Most of the mid-card wrestlers Bischoff signed and developed relationships with in WCW were very young at the time. For example, Buff Bagwell is still a year younger than Batista and Mark Jindrak is two years younger than Shelton Benjamin.

So Bischoff is doing a celebrity wrestling show, and then he's opening an actual wrestling promotion afterwards? He should just open up the real wrestling promotion first, and then if that fails then try the celebrity thing.

Thoughts?

Lets see how this turns out, standing along with such major promotions isn't going to be easy, but then again lets see how this turns out.

Wow, my BTB has Bischoff as the GM and Hogan as the General Manager/Admin Assistant. This is kinda like Deja Vu to me and I think it would be awesome!

 

[Moonlight Drive]

Bischoff running a promotions should be awesome. No doubt with him and Hogan part of it it would be a big thing right from the start. I don't mean as in TNA or WWe big, but fairly big for a brand new indy

Old news IMO

id give it a watch. but i will prob be destroyed by TNA and WWE

 

[Evil Austin]

am I the only one understanding that the only reason why Hogan made this company with Eric was because Eric promised him another four year long titl erun like he had in early ninties ? I mean why else would he come out of retirment which he said he was hanging up his boots after his Summerslam match with HBK

DX, he is probs not gonna wrestle. Just coz he is a part of it does not mean he will wrestle.

 

[Wrestling Station]

If and I say if Bischoff succeeded in anyway, Vince will take over his business in 5 years time; again. So we will have 4 WWE brand shows with the 4th as Celebrities brand thingy.

hogan and bishoff?i'd never watch anything either of them had anything to do with because they basically destroyed wcw.i'd like to see goldberg and RVD wrestle again,but if hogan andbishoff are running it,i'd never watch it.

I'm hoping this becomes a reality, if they do, they would need lots of money though. Either that or they bring back WSX.
