Creative should be able to script a "decent" show without hand holding from
VKM. Is anyone
in creative capable of independent thought? Can't Stephanie do her job
without having to always
get an ok from daddy.

Where yes it would help to know who goes where, the whole "draft" idea is
pure garbage just
like the quality of their shows have been... But since you cant get the
names you need to be
more or less..... creative.... What a concept eh...

Now aint that an original thought, now who thought there should actually
be wrestling in what
is or was " Pro Wrestling " ??? Maybe, just maybe if you broke away from
this entertainment
stuff and got back to focus on the belts and do some actual wrestling
ratings might go up??

Which is a win win for ol Jim Duggan, do what you want, but be there when
we need you.
and since it will be PPV's it will be a better piece of the pie. Not
that I think Jim is exactly
" in shape" but round is a shape I guess.
