Even more funnier, since it would mean we'd likely get WWE/Disney cross promotions. 3MB vs the Rescue Rangers would be a main event anywhere! {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Gadget wins

It would be utterly hilarious if Disney got it & suddenly SportsCenter anchors had to start reporting wrestling results. Grisham and Coach would get stuck hosting a half hour wrestling recap show.

Mickey doing a Moonsault onto Big Show off the top of the cage at Wrestlemania would be worth it. John Cena, Spider-man, Mickey Mouse, and Luke Skywalker take on the forces of Randy Orton, Dr. Octopus, Big Pete, and Darth Vader 2. Mickey Mouse has joined The Authority!

Most of that newz is made up or speculation. Hogan hasn't signed anything yet. But you don't have to be Nostradamus to predict they'd want him in some capacity for Mania XXX. But Hogan is still negotiating apparently. Nothing is in stone yet. And Fox WILL NOT be signing WWE in any capacity. UFC has an iron-clad exclusive contract with them and all their subsidiary channels. As for the rest of those channels -- come on. WWE hasn't even began to shop around anything yet due to their efforts with the network launch and need to get 2 million subscribers to even break even due to the MLB partnership and take. They will not until they get closer toward the fall and see which way the wind is blowing and where they stand financially. The hope, from their end, is that all the talk and posturing will force USA to renegotiate and double their rights fees. WWE doesn't want to re-launch from an entirely different network that most likely will not give them the same leeway USA does. It's all a bargaining tool. Basically, whoever wrote this just named networks off the top of their head without thinking about what higher or equal rated shows would be sacrificed to placate WWE's Monday & Friday night schedules. But the WWE isn't competition to UFC! - Vince McMahon. Seriously though, would the exclusivity contract apply to something like Pro Wrestling which isn't a combat sport. I mean I assume it has to due with the phrasing of the contract... but there is probably a way Fox could work the WWE on their network if they REALLY want it. Spike approached WWE originally before allowing UFC and Ultimate Fighter on the network, and Vince OK'd it. (which actually MADE UFC and gave it its core fanbase). I imagine it would be a similar situation, only I highly doubt Dana would in return. His business needs exclusive TV to fuel (no pun intended) its PPV business, which it lives and dies by. And I doubt they'd want to be on the same channel wherein WWE is bragging about and explaining how they have a network that renders that model obsolete.

If they go with Viacom, TNA would be f***ed. There's no way they would want to keep it over RAW/SD. Hell I'm sure Main Event and Superstars used to get the same ratings.
If they go with Fox, I would be interested in what UFC would do about it.
If they go with Disney, I would love it because of the aforementioned John Cena, Mickey Mouse, Spider-man, and Luke Skywalker team-up.

RAW on FX would be pretty awesome, especially since I watch nearly all of FX's programs.

I'm picturing Raylan Givens showing up and a "Danger Zone" match, the stipulation of which will make no sense but somehow involve bloody Marys. I am willing to pay money for both of these things.

I honestly think WWE on Spike can save TNA if Spike wants to keep both shows. That means WWE programming will have TNA advertisement or most WWE Fans will get Spike to watch WWE and can crossover to TNA.

Though I'm thinking most likely, Raw will stay on USA while SmackDown if not still on Syfy will still be on some variety of NBC channel. Really, USA might as well pick it up too - it's not like they couldn't use more variety, they have a daily marathon and two a week for SVU and NCIS. One thing I'd kind of like to see that'd make a lot of sense, though I very much doubt it'd ever happen, is if Spike drops TNA WWE could give them a spot on the Network but still as their own entity, just with some WWE input and financial backing. I really, really doubt it would ever happen but I think it would benefit all involved.

I guess TNA should ask the folks at Time Warner if they would like wrestling back on TNT, TBS and maybe a show on adult swim.

NBC Universal: "How DARE they try to revolutionize the TV Streaming world despite the fact that we air those shows live sooner than anyone else! How DARE they?!"
Wisen up, NBC Universal; it's not gonna damage you.

I just thought of another WWE/Disney tie-in.. Mickey Mouse as the Big Show, during the "knock him out phase", without ever mentioning Disney parks/movies/shows, etc..
Stephanie: Mickey, who helped you when your auto shop went under?? Mickey: Oh boy... Stephanie: That's right, Hunner and I did!
*Goofy looks around in shame*
Stephanie: Mickey, knock him out!
