WWE / Sci-Fi, TNA / Spike TV Negotiating New TV Deals; Foley Chest Injury; Raw Preemption
Multichannel News reports that WWE and Sci-Fi are negotiating to extend the TV deal ECW, which expires the end of this month. From what we are hearing, the main item holding up a new deal has to do with advertising revenue.
It was also reported that Sci Fi Channel will air WWE Monday Night Raw Aug. 28th live @ 9PM due to the USA Network having their US Open tourney. If you miss Raw on Sci-Fi next Monday not to worry. The USA Network will replay Raw the same night @ 11PM.
Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter report that negotiations are underway between TNA and Spike TV on extending Impact to 2 hours. If you've been listening to our webcasts, you know our feelings about a Monday Night special. Hopefully that comes to flourish.
Mick Foley needed 25 stiches to close a huge open wound on his chest last night. Yes he had some cuts in his head last night, but the big gash was on his chest.
The barbed wire Mr Socko was the only real barbed wire used. However the chops Flair gave to Foley with the barbed covered Socko is what did Foley in.
