| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | A source, that has talked to a person high up within Fusient, has confirmed that a deal has been completed and that they are just waiting to officially announce it to the public. That same source has confirmed that Fusient is just sitting back and waiting for the right time to put the official word out there. This is the apparent reason for Bischoff and Siegel taking vacations last week. Once again that source has stated that "the deal is done and that there are no more negotiations." The meeting that Brad Siegel had this morning was about finding alternate programming to air during WCW’s dark period. I don’t have the exact details on when that will happen but I should find out shortly. Keep checking back for more news on this breaking story. Thanks to wrestlezone.com  Smoke Weed Everyday | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | I did read today that wcw sent a memo to its internat staff stating that "Effective Tuesday, March 27, WCW programming will begin a period of hiatus. During this hiatus, WCW will review its programming plans and determine the course of future WCW-branded entertainment events" I hope this means they can get better, they suck now, and without them, there is no competiton, and the WWF will soon start to suck like it used to.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | WCW just plain out sucks. I'm surprised it went this long. I don't care who buys it or waht they do with it, I WILL NEVER WATCH THAT SHIT. And Vince, (that greedy mother fucker) better take his head out of his ass and make WWF more gooder. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | Turner Broadcasting has recently appointed a new chairman and CEO named Jamie Kellner who, according to various reports, has no interest in keeping professional wrestling on TBS. In fact, there are rumors that after the March 26 Nitro on TNT, WCW will be permanently cancelled off TNT and TBS. According to a recent article in Bloomberg News, TBS spokesman Jim Weiss had the following to say: "We've come to the decision that professional wrestling in its current style is not consistent with the upscale brands we've created with TNT and the Superstation TBS, therefore we've made the decision that we're no longer going to carry professional wresting in its current style." So, as of now, it appears that WCW has been cancelled and with that, the WCW sale to Fusient is put in a much worse position, since WCW's TNT and TBS timeslots were one of, if not the most important asset they could provide. However, hope remains, as rumors have risen that Eric Bischoff and Fusient are attempting to work out some sort of deal with FOX, that would move WCW programming to their networks. As of now, no details are available about the current situation, so there is not much room for speculation. There should hopefully be more news on this situation soon. Adopted by grkqtOandAfan | ||||
