WCW News: Angles, Tammy Sytch, SFX and more..
By Jeff Sciullo on June 17, 2000
All right, here is my WCW Report. Some big news is in here so pay close attention. Also I don't think you will believe the angles Russo used. OK, lets get to the news:
- Last week Eric Bischoff spoke with the Fox TV Company and FoxTV proposed a WCW alliance. Eric Bischoff was hoping that that could be the "big surprise," even though it turned out that Goldberg's heel turn was the biggest surprise. WCW and Time Warner Stations, along with FOX are currently working out a deal.
- WCW's negotiations with the SFX channel broke off completely last week. This week they started up again because FOX broke down communications. Now SFX is working to buy WCW outright and promote its live house shows. With Bischoff and Eric Russo working together to produce ratings and buyrates in attendance are increasing in the first three months. Time Warner WCW's current owner, wants to get rid of World Championship Wrestling.
- Eric Bischoff was given a bottle of Nubain from a female employee. The employee stated that it was from the female locker room. Eric Bischoff put his focus towards Tammy Sytch. After a few tests and Concentra Health and Labcorp, her tests came back negative. Eric hasn't said a word since now that he knows she is not doing anything.
- Some new angles for Nitro are being planned: one angle is supposed to be the Vampiro vs. demon match and a few officials rejected these ideas and called for Vampiro to light a dressing room on fire which could have lead to female employee Asya accidentally being burned. The other angle was to have Demon, who is Asya's fiancé, blow fire in Vampiro's face. People rejected this idea but Russo ignored the rejection and went through with it.
