| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | by Bob Ryder Updated: 5/16/2001 4:16:51 PM Cable industry sources have revealed to 1Wrestling.com that Vince McMahon has grown increasingly frustrated with his dealings with TNN. McMahon is said to be seriously considering taking steps to sever the relationship and possibly to return WWF programming to the USA Network. Such a move would be a shocker, but dwindling ratings combined with frustration over the inability to reach an agreement regarding WCW programming have reportedly infuriated McMahon to the point that he may claim TNN has breached the contract signed last year that resulted in the WWF leaving the USA Network for Viacom owned TNN. Sources tell us that McMahon's basis for claiming breach of contract would center around inflated claims by TNN as to the number of households reached by the network as well as other marketing related issues. McMahon has reportedly sent feelers to USA to gauge their interest in bringing WWF programming back to their network as well as adding an additional program for WCW. It is believed Smackdown would not be impacted by any move by the WWF to leave TNN.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Holy Shit, we have a Gobble-dee-Gooker reference!! As far as WWF leaving TNN...FUCK TNN, any station that proudly runs commercials of Red Neck fans calling up and rambling incoherently about how good a show Miami Vice is deserves to be anally violated. And I hope the WWF uses coffee grinds instead of vaseline when they do it...I still hold TNN responsible for ECW going under and not allowing me to see Francine on a weekly basis. TNN....worse than AIDS!  This message was edited by spe5150 on 5-18-01 @ 6:14 PM | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Apr. 01 | quote: This quote is somewhat true. I hold Vince responsible for ECW going under. He should have just stayed on USA. And if he goes back after going to TNN, that would just make him a dick. Any way thats just my opinion and i think ECW, with a little more organization would have surpassed WWF in ratings. well, came close. [sarcasm] I'm Racking Up the posts [/sarcasm] | ||||
