WWF NEWS WRITER'S NOTE: NO PPV THIS MONTH SO I THOUGHT WHY NOT WRITE ONE OF THESE UP NOW?. THERE WAS THE OPTION OF DOING A WINTER TOUR BUT I DECIDED AGAINST IT, FOCUS ON ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA THEN START INTRODUCING MONTHLY PPV'S AFTER MANIA AS WWF STARTS CHANGING DIRECTION. I ALSO HAD A CHANGE OF HEART AND DECIDED TO DO THESE MORE OFTEN FOR KAYFABE REASONS AND IT'S JUST A NICE BREAK FROM WRITING RAW NOW AND THEN.
WHAT IS "THE NEW GENERATION" GOING TO LOOK LIKE? WWF have been making a lot of moves lately behind the scenes in terms of talent and in terms of management and in this latest report our inside sources can help us provide to you. Rumblings are that WWF is preparing for a major product change that will see the WWF attempt to produce something "bold, brave and creative." Some of our sources even say that WWF management have ADMITTED that "This could end up failing, but we won't know if we don't try". The decision to change the way the product is presented has been slowly being shaped since the first edition of Monday Night Raw. the struggle to maintain the audience the WWF has already established from it's long standing popularity of the eighties has served as somewhat of a wake up call. WWF management want to get out ahead of this while they can and are willing to make the investments, the changes and the risks needed in order to alter the product and hope it leads to continued success for the company. "The ratings haven't been all too bad, but they aren't what the company sees as a good sign for the future." Our man on the inside, who wishes to remain anonymous leaked to us. "The writing seems to be on the wall that the product as is, cannot continue to succeed the way it did in the previous decade. They want to invest in a new product that they admit, could end up backfiring if fans do not react well. But hope the bold move will pay off in the future."
So what will this new product look like. "They really want to push The New Generation as just that. A whole new generation for the WWF. Something completely different from what we recognized from the eighties." Said our anonymous tipster. "From the discussions I've been a part of? From what I've heard? This is a nine month project to realistically achieve and if that is successful, will be the first time any wrestling company has ever done anything like this to my memory. It's risky. That's all I can tell you."
The New Generation is becoming more than just a motto for the WWF. It's becoming a literal way of operating their business. If our man on the inside's leaks are true. Than over the course of the next nine months, we should start seeing the talent, the management and the changes being put in place that will shape the WWF into what ever they plan their New Generation to be.
JACK TUNNEY TO RETIRE AFTER WRESTLEMANIA
WWF President Jack Tunney has announced his intention to retire from his position after Wrestlemania IX. The WWF President has served as the figure head for the company for over six years now. Helping create memorable matches such as the classic Champion VS. Champion match at Wrestlemania VI. Many will remember Tunney as the man who ran the show through a good chunk of the eighties. However, as Tunney himself told reporters when announcing his decision. "It's a new era for the WWF. Times are changing. I feel it only appropriate to allow room for a new face, with big ideas for the company to step in and take the reigns after Wrestlemania is done, to continue the good work we did in the eighties and to take the WWF in directions that I could not during my tenure here as President." When asked what led him to this decision Jack simply stated "Time. It's been a good run. The company saw great success and I was honored to be the President of the company during that success. However, it's clear to me, as it is with many fans. That our product needs to remold itself for the new decade. I had my chance. I did the best I could with it. Time for someone else to have theirs." It has been set in writing that Tunney will remain in power as the WWF President until the Monday Night Raw AFTER Wrestlemania. WWF Management only feels that it is right that Tunney announce the new President himself on the post mania edition of Raw and are hoping to signal it as "The beginning of a new era" for the WWF. "I have been given the honor and the privelege to work for this company for many years and I'm grateful that I'll get tolead this company to one more Wrestlemania before I step down and announce the new President." In regards to who has been shortlisted to replace Tunney for the role. Tunney had this to say/. " We are already in discussions with the new figure slated to take over as WWF President. They have ideas that might shake up the company and already have some names for talent that could possibly make their way onto regular WWF programming in the near future. Their creative mind is greatly sought after during what has been a trying time for us entering this new decade and we hope putting our stock in them will be a wise investment in the long run."
SIGNINGS AND RELEASES
The Berzerker has been released by the WWF. He is the first of what the WWF management says "a list of names we were considering letting go." The reasoning for the release of The Berzerker is simple. WWF has decided to invest their money and time into changing their product. "We admit that we made decisions that have turned out to be against our favor in the way we present talent." A spokesman for the talent relations in WWF stated. " It's not the talents fault. It's ours. With the characters we have had them portray. With creative decisions we have made. There will be other talent we let go, and it's nothing personal. It's nothing against them. We feel as if, they need a chance to go somewhere else, redesign and rediscover themselves and who knows? Maybe they can come back to us once time has passed and be presented in a more legitimate fashion." There are worries in the WWF locker room following these statements as the family friendly product the company has presented led to a roster full of characters who the WWF Talent relations now admit "We wrote ourselves into a corner with these characters. It's a failing on our part for all of them and their careers. We will adhere to all of their contracts, make sure they get paid. Give them TV time where we can and if we can repackage some of them? Great, but in the long run? We think what will be best for a lot of these guys is getting a chance to find themselves and discuss future opportunities when our product is what we want it to be."
We can also confirm that the WWF has been splashing the cash out over the previous weeks for picking up talent. Unfortunately our inside leaks aren't willing to share that information. Either because it's not in ink yet. Or they fear if they leak this information to us, it will expose their positions in the company. Here's what we can tell you about the talent that has been signed. As of right now, five women have been signed for the WWF Women's division project. These women have been appearing in dark matches on pre shows since the Royal Rumble. Initial reactions by the crowd have been tame but the WWF expected that, which is why the dark matches are where these women are honing their craft. Apparently the goal is to have a viable women's division be able to be presented to the WWF audience by King of The Ring at the very latest. If the WWF feels it can present these women beforehand, they will take that move but are taking caution simply because they are still easing their audience into seeing women's wrestling again.
In terms of the male side of things. Outside of what we already saw in Ken Shamrock, we can confirm at least SIX other male competitors have been signed to the WWF roster, all of them currently in creative discussions to decide their characters, gimmicks, intention on being used, possible managers and of course, their important debuts. It should be important to note the following about the new talent that has been signed. Out of ALL the new talent that has been signed, both male and female. The oldest signed to the roster is 34. Which means this is a further investment in the youth movement that WWF has been making anyway. It's also important to note that these signings have all been made under the assistance and consulting from the man who is going to be the NEW WWF President. So even though he might not be the one signing the contracts. He is already in a position where he is influencing the look and style of the roster. The final thing to note, is that each person signed so far has been done so with the goal of "legitimacy." in mind. The aim being to give the fans as exciting of an in ring product as possible while still maintaining their craft for storytelling and entertainment.
MEXICO AND JAPAN One strange bit of news to report regarding potential talent signings going forward. While none of our inside sources can confirm any foreign talent have been signed or have even stepped foot inside of a WWF office. There have been murmurs from the foreign wrestling worlds of WWF calling up talent scouts, talking to connections in both Mexico and Japan and enquiring about tapes and possibly even sending "diplomats" to begin negotiation processes. These talks first began with Ken Shamrock. While Shamrock himself is not a native to either Japan or Mexico. He had been doing some work up in Japan that caught the WWF's attention and he is not the only one. Their curiosity in Ken Shamrock apparently led them to broaden their horizons even further and WWF are, although not making any official offers just yet, in serious talks with multiple Japanese AND Mexican talent. How WWF plans to incorporate these radically different styles if they were to go ahead with this is beyond me folks, but would I be interested in a WWF product that tried to do it? You're god damned right I would! |
