WOW's David McLane On Why Securing A TV Deal Never Worried Him
Recently on The Jim Ross Report, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross caught up with WOW creator of GLOW and WOW, David McLane, ahead of WOW's debut on AXS TV. Among many other things, McLane talked about the importance of WOW co-owner Jeanie Buss. McLane talked about why he sold GLOW. Additionally, McLane talked about WOW's relationship with AXS TV and how getting TV time was not going to be a problem for Buss & Co.
According to McLane, Buss is the reason women's wrestling will be elevated to new heights.
"I've got to thank Jeanie Buss," McLane professed. "Jeanie Buss has a day job, which is called CEO and owner of the Los Angeles Lakers and she is the reason women's wrestling is going to be elevated to a new paradigm for all of us. And she really said, 'let's do this correctly, let's take all the steps.'"
Interestingly, McLane divulged that he sold GLOW because the show got too comedic for him. McLane indicated that he wants WOW to be presented like a competitive sport and many of WOW's comedic skits did not work.
"I'm old school from that standpoint and I sold GLOW. To my liking, it became too much of a comedy show and I did not want that in WOW. That wasn't my goal. I really wanted to present it like an athletic contest. Now, with that said, we've got a few [comedic segments] and they didn't work. A few, what I would call, they're not skits, but I don't know what you would call them, but backstage interviews where they didn't work and it's better storytelling." McLane added, "some of the, I don't want to call them skits, but some of the things didn't work and that's why we're going to take them out and I reduce them as we get further along in the season."
According to McLane, securing TV time was never a big deal for WOW given Buss's connections and financial wherewithal. What was more important was finding a broadcast partner that shared WOW's vision of long term success.
"We could put women's wrestling on TV in five seconds," McLane explained. "Jeanie Buss can call up anybody. Heck, she could buy time on a network if she wanted. She wanted to get the right marketing partner, someone that shared our vision for making this thing a long term success and AXS TV is that partner because they have really been engaged on the ground floor to help us build the brand long term. So I think it's a special time, one, for women in all genres and especially now in wrestling. And we've got the right partners to do it, and make it successful, and now we just need the fans to tune in, and watch it, and comment on it and help us help it grow."
Sgt. Slaughter Reveals The One WWE Angle He Refused Ahead Of WrestleMania 7 Match With Hulk Hogan
WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter had an in-depth interview with CBS Sports' WFAN. During the discussion, Sgt. addressed his once-controversial rivalry with Hulk Hogan that came to a head in the main event of WrestleMania 7.
Slaughter made a return to the WWE in 1990 after WrestleMania 6 was over, entering as a heel and turning his back on the United States after they began welcoming Russian Star, Nikolai Volkoff. Sgt.'s character of an "Iraqi sympathizer" remained in a heated feud with Hulk Hogan that culminated at WrestleMania 7 the next year. Behind the scenes, Sgt. revealed that the negative response to his character during that time had reached unparalleled levels of intensity. Individuals were even calling WWE offices issuing both bomb & death threats.
"Vince McMahon had called me up after about six years of hiatus from WWE, and he said he just got out of WrestleMania 6 and wanted to do WrestleMania 7," Sgt. said. "So, he's already looking at his main event, and he said, 'Are you ready to go back to work?' I said, 'Yeah, ready.' And he says, 'Well, come on to my house and I'll show you what I've got in mind.' So, I figured he's gonna take Sgt. Slaughter, G.I. Joe, the real American hero, and make him the real, real, real American hero. So I get to his house, he's got this layout of L.A. Colosseum, 104,000 seats, and he says, 'We want you and [Hulk] Hogan to be the main event.' I said, 'Okay, how are we going to make Hulk Hogan the villain?' He said, 'Hulk Hogan? No, he's not going to be the villain. You're going to be the villain!' I said, 'Well, how we gonna do that?'
"So he starts laying out the Iraqi sympathizer, and you think America's got weak, and a little country like Iraq taking over Kuwait and running the world, and you're back and you're not happy," Sgt. continued. "I said, 'Okay.' He said, 'Well, go home and talk to your family about it because it could be a little rough.' It was [financially] beneficial, yeah. But we had bomb threats, death threats every night. I came home from back to Philadelphia after winning the title from the Ultimate Warrior in Miami at the Royal Rumble, and one of the backstage hands said, 'Hey, have you talked to your wife?' And I said, 'No.' 'Have you talked to Vince McMahon?' 'No.' We didn't have cell phones, so, I get on the phone, my wife's answering machine. I call Vince, 'Oh yeah, Sgt., I just talked to your wife and I sent her to a hotel.' I said, 'What happened?' Well, somebody called up the wrestling office this morning and said they're gonna kill you, and kill me, and kill our families; Blow up our houses and cars."
Sgt. admitted that he did take the threats pretty seriously, but regardless, he was pleased that he was receiving such immense heat from his work. The one segment Sgt. refused to partake in involved him burning the American flag on television.
"I took it pretty serious, and then again, I thought, well, I guess I did my job right. I never really regretted it. The only time that I ever really had a problem with it was when they wanted me to burn an American flag and I wouldn't do that. So, I gave them a better idea: I thought, put the Hulk Hogan shirt on a flag pole and I'll burn that and say, 'It's Americana!' So, that's what we did and I think that it got the right type of 'heat,' as we say in our business."
PWInsider Fucked Up On A Story (And They Don't Even Realize It, Someone Please Show Them)
You just can't... Make this shit up, you really can't. But this indeed has happened. PWInsider's own Paul Jordon posted a story about how Game Changer Wrestling announced that they're going to promote two shows in Japan come August.
BUT... WHERE... Is the picture that Game Changer posted at? Since I of course am the very guy who says proof IS, a mother fucker and that I AM.. A guy who always has proof. Here's proof that PWInsider's Paul Jordan fucked up. Here's his announcement of the story.

Go and click the link before the the page finishes loading and THIS.. Is what you get.
NOW, AFTER the page finishes loading, Look at what it says.
As of 30 seconds ago, the article is STILL posted on the PWInsider Web page. Maybe someone should go inform them on how their columnist Paul Jordan looks like a total dumb fuck, posting a story that has no pic to back it up.
It's not my fault that PWInsider seem to go out of their way to make themselves look like dumb asses, but hey.. Stuff like this here sure makes it look obvious that they do have some real dumb asses writing for them.. Feel free to send them a link to this story as well if you want. At least when i post a story, I'll add the correct link and picture to it. So you can again thank me for again.. Making the 'more well known, 'established' news sites, look stupid. It's not my fault they seem to bring it on themselves. :)
