Justin,

Re:<<Also, aren't there like 5 different wrestling "federations" that THQI could make a deal with? What about WWF? Is WCW so special?>>

Arguably, 3 of the biggest stars of the WCW are Hollywood Hogan, Randy "The Macho Man" Savage, and the lovely Elizabeth. All used to be with the WWF. Where will they be in July, 1999?

But then you say, so what, Turner has the show and whoever Turner showcases will be the stars of the WCW. And I am sure that no one between now and July of 1999 is going to challenge Turner for 3 of the top 5 cable slots every week. Think "Fox World Order" (FWO), with the "Fox Girls" leading the cheers between "matches".

Also, don't worry about it. Farrell and Co. could put out a cooking game and make money on it. Think what they will do with several Disney movie titles and Rugrats. So, the correct answer to the question is, WC Who?

Regards,
John

Rumor:

Acclaim owns the rights to the WWF for a LONG TIME. Anyway, the ECW resently said they will have a video game next year. ECW is small but very popular. I wonder if there is something going on between THQI and ECW. I am going to consider, buying THQI at these levels.
