Re: [TV orNotTV] Hogan, WWE parting

The only guys from the 80s/"Rock & Wrestling Era" who show up with any regularity are (were?) Hogan, Undertaker, and Bret Hart. Hogan hasn't been an active wrestler in years (due to injury), but he remained valuable to WWE from a marketing perspective. Bret is also medically unable to wrestle, b

Re: [TV orNotTV] Hogan, WWE parting

Not likely. Hogan had a lucrative "legends" contract, was acting as an ambassador for the WWE Network, and he's been appearing on the revived "Tough Enough". Hogan didn't have a need to take independent bookings. But WWE is a publicly traded company, and while s** tapes are almost passé in 2015,

YACS. WWE is exercising the nuclear option, just as they did after it was discovered Chris Benoit killed his wife and kid. It takes a lot for them to go that far. -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or

MSNBC is going to run into the problem that doomed it when it was "America's NewsChannel": people in this country don't watch rolling news. They might get some more ratings for a short period of time but in a year, their ratings will be lower than when they were the liberal antidote to Fox News. It

Re: [TV orNotTV] Wyatt Cenac on blow up with Jon Stewart

Cenac was still critical of the voice.  That's why he made the comparison to Kingfish. And he told Stewart.  That's why Stewart asked why he didn't complain when Stewart did broad caricatures of Jewish voices. Sent from TypeMail On Jul 24, 2015, 11:02 AM, at 11:02 AM, Tom Wolper wrote: >On

Re: [TV orNotTV] Hogan, WWE parting

Hogan has been in financial trouble for years. He did bottom of the barrel TV ads and came through Reno this year promoting midget wrestling.  I'll bet there's lots more and they were looking for a reason to cut ties. Sent from TypeMail On Jul 24, 2015, 1:18 PM, at 1:18 PM, Tom Wolper wrote:
