Gilbertti doesn’t see the purpose of rating professional wrestling matches with a star system. He points out that wrestling is a soap opera, where storylines lead to eventual matches. Watching singular matches and rating them based on a star system just doesn’t make any sense to him.
A report surfaced this week, mentioning that Dave Meltzer had written about the potential of FOX purchasing WWE’s television rights, and perhaps purchasing WWE as a whole. Gilbertti thinks this acquisition would be huge for WWE, as it would put them in front of a huge audience on FOX television, and it would also result in RAW returning to two-hours in length.
Russo thinks this is nonsense. He points out that WWE is in the television business so they’re constantly talking to all sorts of different stations, looking for the best deal. Just because Triple H met with Fox executives, that doesn’t mean that any type of acquisition is written in stone.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
