[IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n203/Chriswok/Logos/TNALogo.jpg[/IMG] [B]TNA[/B] The wrestling world has largely been more of the same, which has caused problems for the WWE. TNA has gained alot of recognition across the United States, and slowly in the UK thanks to its partnership with The Wrestling Channel, and is now in a position to gear itself up for the final stage of its slow rise to National and International respect, gainined a 2 hour prime tv slot on SpikeTV! Many suspect they can achieve this as Jeff Jarret has FINALLY stepped aside and handed the belt over to Somoe Joe, in a match that many regained alot of respect back for Jarret in the process. With the belts in the current position: [B]TNA World Heavyweight[/B]: Samoe Joe [B]TNA X-Division[/B]: Alex Shelly [B]TNA Tag Team Titles[/B]: AJ & Christopher Daniels With TNA's rise to a level of interest that is deemed as threatening, alot of stress has fallen on the WWE to 'get it right', however this pressure hasn't fueled and benefitted the WWE and Vince McMahon has it has back during the Monday Night Wars with wCw. Instead, it has seemed to have caused panic decisions amongst the inexperienced WWE creative team. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n203/Chriswok/Logos/WWE.jpg[/IMG] [B]WWE[/B] The WWE however has yet again continued to ignore facts and tried to push its storylines across as hard as possibel despite the decreasing interesting and continuing turn on 'The Golden Boy' John Cena. His winning of the title yet again alienated the fans and started the resentment of his 'Superman' syndrom to rise again, despite the increasing heat WWE creative didn't turn him heel. Even with their development leagues alot of midcard talent and youngester linked with the WWE have became disillusioned by the wait for their chance to develop and shin on the WWE stage. This has been made even worse by the reappearance of 'passed it' legends, such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ken Shamrock and ANOTHER reformation of NWO in a cheap attempt to boost PPV buyrates and maintain fan interest, rather then establish new talent. The only new talent you could argue they have pushed over the last year or so was Carlito and Ken Kennedy, one Star per brand, which is hardly enough to cover the amount of wrestlers that have retired or left the company. As it stands today the belts are on the current people: -RAW- World: John Cena Inter: Carlito Tag: Kevin Nash & Scott Hall Woman's: [Retired on Trish Stratus] -Smackdown!- Heavy: Ken Kennedy US: Finley Tag: Paul London & Brian Kendrick Cruserweight: [inactive] ECW: Test The only 'correct' move WWE creative seemed to have made was to remove Vince McMahon from an on Screen Role, however, this was soon seen to be a worse move, as his replacement was nWo in the form of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan... again. As well as signing 'Macho Man' Randy Savage in a program with the 'Legend Killer' Randy Ortan, which went on for several months, and only just concluded recently at WWE's last PPV, with Ortan picking up an injury. Financially the WWE is still strong, however alot of shareholders are starting to get itchy feet with the storylines and ideas being pushed boardering on desperate, many insiders feel it won't be too long before the board establishes a presence on the writting team itself to vito any ideas deemed 'too radical'. With the moral across the WWE rather low amongst the workers that aren't part of the 'IN and over group', alot of workers have considered asking for their release to return to the indies, or even TNA now they are almost at a level to rival the WWE. Strangely, one man was allowed to walk away from the WWE, with the feeling that he wouldn't be allowed to walk into TNA, and that he had nothing left to offer to the WWE. That man was Eric Bischoff. Along with Eric Bischoff (who was released) some 'old' backstage was also released for voicing their concerns about the creative team and the state of the company. Amongst the names on the sheet were: Pat Patterson, Gerald Briscoe as well as the older divas and some old backstage staff. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n203/Chriswok/Logos/PW.jpg[/IMG] [B]Phoenix Wrestling and Eric Bischoff[/B] Strangely, despite many's claim that Eric Bischoff would walk away from the wrestling world and concentrate on producing reality TV Shows, Bischoff has turned attention to starting his own promotion, Phoenix Wrestling, with the goal and desire to take it to the top and do what he never could do with wCw and push McMahon all the way. So why has Bischoff stepped back into the wrestling ring, so to speak? What are his plans? Is he going to destroy the WWE? We'll have an interview with Eric Bischoff in a later issue of BeyondWrestling to find out all the details behind his strange U-Turn on the wrestling business. If you'd like to leave a question for Eric Bischoff to answer, please do so by emailing us (reply in this thread) at the BeyondWrestling Magazine. Editor, 'Ironing' Dave Danger

[CENTER][IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n203/Chriswok/BWissue1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Interview with Eric Bischoff. [i] Eric Bischoff was once a powerful man. He was once the President of WCW. He was once the man that almost ended Vince McMahon. In his later years he was little more then a puppet as his role as General Manager (GM) on the RAW Brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), with the later part of his contract being spent at home recieving his pay for little or no input into the product after he was 'sacked' on air. Yet despite this fall from grace Eric Bischoff finds himself once again in charge of a promotion, this time its his own promotion, Phoenix Wrestling, backed by his own money and with no one to answer to other then himself. So why would anyone, who was experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, induldge themselves back into the heartbreak of Professional Wrestling once again. We caught up with Eric Bischoff for his first interview since his depature from the WWE, and asked the question on everyones mind. 'Why, Eric, Why?'[/i] "[COLOR="Blue"]In all honesty I was ready to walk away from it all, despite it being everything in my life for the last 20 years or so, I was ready to take my final severence pay from the WWE and turn my back on the damn business for good. Yet, I didn't, obviously, 'cos here I am... again... running my promotion! Why? Pride. Pride and Vince McMahon. You know a few months ago, I had went to his office, erm, and I asked him [vince], 'What you going to do with WCW?' I mean it was fair question, they [WWE] had seen ECW work better then they anyone, except for maybes Shane [McMahon] and Paul Haymen, had expected. Erm, and they had the WCW Library just sitting there, being pushed and edited across their 24/7 demand service, yet images, rights, storylines, wrestlers, had largely been underused. The invasion angle they originally had, was... well... a major let down.[/COLOR]" [COLOR="Blue"]Well, lets just say Vince did that smurk and nod routine he does so well, when I asked him about doing something with WCW. I think Shane probably would have been the man to go to for some kind of Political weight behind it, but he was busy with ECW. So, I, probably, did the wrong thing, and asked if I could do something with the WCW name. Lets just the say laughter that came from Vince McMahon was manical at best.[/COLOR]" [I]It's interesting to note the look of determination in Bischoff's eyes that seems to grow as he drifts into a memory of that event. If anything it would appear that McMahon is the sole reason Bischoff is doing this. The fire that drives him. [/I] "[COLOR="Blue"]In all honesty, if Vince had never laughed me in the face, I would have been able to walk away, and I woudn't be sitting here today giving this interview about creating a new promotion. There's one thing that I can't let lie, and that's being laughed at in the face like that.[/COLOR]" [I]It's hard to imagine anyone laughing in Bischoff's face, despite his greying hair, and older looking appearance from that which we're use to seeing him on Telly. He still has an air of authority about him, more so infact, and you have to remember that he really IS a Black Belt in martial arts.[/I] "[COLOR="Blue"]So I took my leave in November when my contract was up, and sat at home with all intensive purposes being, to spend time with the family, and work on OTHER projects, but I couldn't shift Vince's laughing grin from my mind. It was burning on me, and I knew I just had to RETURN to wrestling.[/COLOR]" [I]It's interesting that Bischoff never tried to return to wrestling with TNA, who are now doing very well for themselves on the National Stage with a new 2 hour Prime Time TV show (See page. 13), and a promotion that his one time replacement in WCW, Vince Russo, worked for.[/I] "[COLOR="Blue"]TNA? Haha, yeah I guess I could have tried to humble myself and asked if I could have worked for them, but in all truth, I don't think I would have got a job, nor do I think I'd want to have had a job with them. They've done so well for themselves doing their own thing, that I would have left like I had walked into something already finished. There was only one option and that was to create my own promotion, my own baby, and raise it to a level that would be able to compete with the WWE by itself. I'm not a man to have things handed to me on a plate.[/COLOR]" [I]And so it is to be. Eric Bischoff has poured his own money into this project, money he has saved from his time in WWE, from book sales and from personal loans to make Phoenix Wrestling (PW) work. He's some how managed to secure a PPV deal with DirectTV, despite not even having a roster of workers to show and advertise. As of printing there is no deal in the works for a TV Show, though it is literally early days for Bischoff and PW, lets remember they still haven't even had their first show. But is there any chance in the future of a meeting with Ted Turner to fund PW and offer a TV slot?[/I] "[COLOR="Blue"]Have I talked to Ted? Haha, of course! Of course! He was the first person I talked to, infact, he phoned me! But it was just to wish me luck and that he respected what I was doing, getting back on the horse so to speak. No, he didn't offer me a TV slot, I don't think he has the power to do such things anymore, he's on a board of directors to answer to now. Perhaps if TNA can offer a good TV Product, staying away from the smutt and risky storylines the WWE has been pumping out the last few months, then TV Executives will see Wrestling as a product to show on their channel again.[/COLOR]" [I]Bischoff is corret in what he says. The WWE have really been pushing it to try and keep the ratings up, almost resorting back to the 'Attitude Era' only pushed all the way up to 11. A few workers and backstage staff have expressed their concerns over the direction the product has taken, and those that have have been met with a firing or heavy fining from WWE and Vince McMahon. It would appear that the WWE is desperate, even perhaps fearing TNA as they once did WCW. With, yet again, the rehiring of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan on a long program as the rehashed nWo to fued with DX. And Randy Savage making appearances to fued with the 'Legend Killer' Randy Ortan, it would seem that WWE is looking to use any and all ideas placed on the table in an attempt to see what works.[/I] "[COLOR="Blue"]John Cena, they have to get rid of John Cean and remember what wrestling is all about. TNA are doing is the right way, they put on a wrestling show, their top guy (Samoe Joe - See Page 23) is the best guy in the business for them. Not because he sells the most T-Shirts, but because he has the most momentum, the most fans, the best in ring ability to defend that title. See, the WWE concentrates on one thing and that's T-Shirt sales, its true. Cena sells the most, so they push him up there, though alot of wrestling fans over the age of 12 are turning on this force feeding of Cena down there throats. When Edge won the title the ratings went through the roof with the 18-24 demographic, yet, they don't buy as many t-shirts as the young kids out there, so Cena won the title back again. "TNA are out there to put on a wrestling show, to bring in the most gate revenue, to make sure as many people as possible watch the TV Show, if they buy a T-Shirt or a DVD then that's a bonus. Its never been their main aim to push out the merchindise hand over fist. If the WWE could recognise that, and stop getting so greedy, they might just put on a good wrestling product again.[/COLOR]" [I]So, what is in store for PW, are they going to resort back to a traditional route of wrestling shows, or follow the Sports Entertainment of the WWE?

A mass release of superstars from the WWE has seen Eric Bischoff pick up a small collection of his new roster for Phoenix Wrestling, some would argue that he has given alot of the older wrestlers their own 'phoenix' style chance to relaunch their careers so late on in life. Rumour has it that Dean Malenko is even considering strapping the boots back on and wrestling and a semi active basis for the company. [*]More Superstars to PW? I think so! There's alot of talk going around that Eric Bischoff is trying to jump the gun on WWE and TNA and get Kurt Angle to join him at PhoenixWrestling, however, many feel this will never happen as Kurt Angle has a strong loyalty to Vince McMahon and the WWE. However, there have been several other high profile names linked with Eric Bischoff's promotion, such as: Petey Williams, TJ Wilson, Harry Smith and former amature wrestlers; Alexander Karelin and Sylvester Terkay. [*]WWE has seen its ECW brand become a sort of battleground for RAW and SD! superstars to battle it out lately, this would seem to support the feeling in the business that the ECW show isn't doing as well as WWE has told everyone it has been doing. Further more the release of alot of 'old school' ECW crew from the WWE roster confirms this feeling.

A mass release of superstars from the WWE has seen Eric Bischoff pick up a small collection of his new roster for Phoenix Wrestling, some would argue that he has given alot of the older wrestlers their own 'phoenix' style chance to relaunch their careers so late on in life. Rumour has it that Dean Malenko is even considering strapping the boots back on and wrestling and a semi active basis for the company. [*]More Superstars to PW? I think so! There's alot of talk going around that Eric Bischoff is trying to jump the gun on WWE and TNA and get Kurt Angle to join him at PhoenixWrestling, however, many feel this will never happen as Kurt Angle has a strong loyalty to Vince McMahon and the WWE. However, there have been several other high profile names linked with Eric Bischoff's promotion, such as: Petey Williams, TJ Wilson, Harry Smith and former amature wrestlers; Alexander Karelin and Sylvester Terkay. [*]WWE has seen its ECW brand become a sort of battleground for RAW and SD! superstars to battle it out lately, this would seem to support the feeling in the business that the ECW show isn't doing as well as WWE has told everyone it has been doing. Further more the release of alot of 'old school' ECW crew from the WWE roster confirms this feeling.

We've heard in the grapeline from some good sources, that their first PPV on DirectTV will be happening before the end of the month, if not sooner! We've also been able to get our hands on a copy of their potential roster of workers, and its looking like Eric Bischoff is going with what he knows best and getting alot of old names back into the business. Al Snow, Bam Bam Bigelow, Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn, Scott Norton, Pete Gurner (aka Billy Kidman) all find themselves on the payrole. What is surprising is that Bischoff seems to be surrounding himself with these guys and listening to advice they have to say. Could it be that Bischoff really isn't out to make the same mistakes twice? Could PW see some form of consistant booking team and guidance? Only time will tell.

While details are sketchy at best, its thought it was over HHH refusing Dallas Hart a place on the development roster of WWE. While tensions have always been high between the two due to the infamous Montreal Screwjob, this incident would seem to add fuel to an already burning fire between the two. Sadly, it does look like Dallas Hart won't be appearing on WWE screens anytime, as won't Harry Smith who was also released from the WWE development program earlier this month. Has HHH got something against 'The Hart Family'? Only time will tell.
