More WWE news!
- Shane McMahon had meetings with both Televisa and TV Azteca in Mexico about airing WWE programming. After looking at the offers McMahon offered them, both networks turned him down.
- Florida Championship Wrestling still does not have a TV Deal. They are claiming the show will air on either the local CW affiliate or the local FOX affiliate.
- Santino Marella, who is an OVW/DCW alumnus sent the company a $500 check this past week. It included a note read "Thinking of you." This is the second check he has sent to the company since being brought up full-time.
- Tickets for the WWE European Tour in April of 2009 go on sale September 12th and 13th.
Good for Santino! I have enjoyed him since his debut in Italy. I only regret that he is no longer billed from P-town! What a guy.

I wonder if Samoa Joe/C.M. Punk send checks to RoH.

How cool is that? Santino is a hell of a dude.

Santino seems like a pretty cool guy, actually.

Any guy who can walk around with a unibrow 24/7 just to help get his character over has got to be a good egg. ...who happens to love a good martini. GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!!!

$500? Ooh. That's like a writer from this site going to WWE.com and sending this site $50.

That and fist-fighting Tommy Morrison in the street.
Good for Santino. On the other hand, quite a shame Shane wasn't able to get a business deal going. That would've been a bit boost in terms of cash and promotion.

Good for Santino! A stand-up guy who enjoys his job and is appreciative of those who got him there.
EPIC SUCCESS!

The evil Empire already owns enough of the business. i am glad the deal fell through.

A buddy of mine ran into him after a house show a couple weeks back and got a pic with him and he had no unibrow. It's all fake.

The Evil Empire can't be used for WWE. Sorry, that nickname is already patented for Microsoft.

wow, santino's a good guy

Santino runs Jericho close for the best thing off WWE tv at the moment and he's a decent chap. No bad for a guy I was happy for the E to let go when he was a face.

i fucking hate Santino, but i think thats a nice thing that he did. that is all...
Posted By: Chill Penguin (Guest) on August 28, 2008 at 07:39 PM
Umm, what in the world is OVW going to do with 500 bucks. Santino is trying to make a nice gesture but overall it is an EPIC FAIL.
Posted By: TNAFan (Guest) on August 28, 2008 at 07:40 PM
This just makes Santino that much more awesome.
Posted By: Captain_Snackpipe (Guest) on August 28, 2008 at 07:51 PM
Class move by Santino.

Which company did Santino send money to?
Posted By: David (Guest) on August 28, 2008 at 11:53 PM
Bring FCW TV to the Fight Network!
Posted By: Guest#8415 (Guest) on August 29, 2008 at 03:47 AM
TNAFan is just upset that he didn't send it to Florida so they can add it to the golden baseball bat fund for Sting.
Posted By: Dr Domino (Guest) on August 29, 2008 at 06:37 AM
I wish FCW TV could strike a deal with Sun Sports so that the entire state of Florida (not just Tampa) can see it.
