Maryse’s Return, WWE Raising PPV Prices, Impact Rating, Cornette On Hogan
- WWE Diva Maryse is set to return for Survivor Series, which is two weeks away.
- In 2010 WWE is planning to hike up PPV prices in the US by $5 similar to TNA. The idea is to knock off one PPV so there is only 13, but charge more.
- This week’s TNA Impact drew a 1.1 cable rating on Spike TV. The buzz for Hogan seems to have died in a week. The company still plans on the long build-up though.
- Speaking of Hogan here’s Jim Cornette’s take on www.jimcornette.com
“They have reunited the same team that helped WCW lose more money than any wrestling promotion in history,” Cornette wrote on his website. “In all seriousness, of course Hogan’s presence will boost ratings, at least in the short term, and one or two PPV appearances over six months or a year will do buys far beyond anything TNA’s ever done on PPV. He can get publicity like no one else associated with TNA. Bischoff has proven he can get television deals done, just possibly not GOOD television shows MADE. But to me there are still issues. Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara are still writing the show. If a lot of people are looking at a turd, does it smell better? This is not a company-making move unless the extra viewers see a product they can get hooked on when Hogan isn’t there or gone.”

MARYSE RETURNS! YAY!!! FINALLY!!! YEAHOOO!!!!
Cornette is absolutely friggin’ right.
“They have reunited the same team that helped WCW lose more money than any wrestling promotion in history,” That is true – If Vince Russo and hogan are given creative control over TNA, then it will be the fall of WCW all over again. Now I see Why Vince is not even worried about them getting hogan. He knows With Hogan And Russo in charge they will go down hill and he can buy them out too.
Cornette Never fails to make a valid Point.
i wonder witch team will Leave TNA first Russo and Ferrara or Bitchoff Or Boregan.
im not a fan of eather team of Bookers to be honest.
i would have Rather Seen Jim Cornette Or Paul Heyman Given a Shot.
finally, maryse is return at raw… i so freaking miss her! she is so good champion diva ever! i cant wait maryse to take melina out and recive the champion belt.
Why not go the whole hog and try and get Ted Turner to buy the company and let Dusty, Flair or Kevin Sullivan do the booking. Jim Cornette at least gave a shit and is obviously still hurting after years of shoot interviews and net chat Cornette comes across as been honest, sincere and cares about wrestling wrestlers as well as what he does, So saying what he did for me is calling a spade a spade
