The following announcement was issued today by Bill Behrens (SHOWBIS@aol.com, who is handling bookings for Russo:

BABY FACES, BLADE JOBS and BOOKING

Everything you wanted to know about writing a professional wrestling show but were afraid to ask.

A SEMINAR HOSTED BY VINCE RUSSO

During the years of 1995-2012, Vince Russo was one of the most controversial figures in the history of sports entertainment/professional wrestling, while serving as the head writer of all three major wrestling companies, WWE, WCW and TNA.

During that tenure, Russo wrote over a thousand televised wrestling shows--which achieved some of the highest ratings of all time-- while also having a hand in helping create some of the biggest stars in the history of the business. From Stone Cold Steve Austin to “The Rock”, Russo has written for just about anybody who’s anybody in the world of sports entertainment/pro wrestling.

Whether it was in front of the camera, or behind the scenes, Russo has played an influential part in helping to bring the drama of the squared circle to the forefront of American pop culture.

Now, in this limited engagement and for the first time ever, Russo is going to bring the “behind the curtain” aspect of his job, into the spotlight, by sharing his craft and experience with wrestling fans around the world. In his ground-breaking seminar entitled, “Baby Faces, Blade Jobs, and Booking, “, Russo is going to share first hand, what it takes to be a successful writer in the world of sports entertainment/professional wrestling.

Just some of the topics Russo will be covering in this no-holds-barred presentation:

· Where to get your start in writing for a professional wrestling organization.
· How to use the experience you’ve built to get in the door of one of the major companies
· How to create larger-than-life personas and personalities
· Writing effective dialogue for specific characters
· How to format a wrestling show
· How to generate new ideas 52-weeks out of the year
· How to present and sell your idea to a talent
· How to create a successful working environment between talent and writer
· Dealing with egos
· Overcoming writer’s block
· Avoiding the pitfalls of politics
· How to generate ratings
· The difference between “writing” a show and “booking” a show

Baby Faces, Blade Jobs and Booking; nothing will no longer be sacred!!

Anybody notice on Raw last night that there was 4 black men in the ring at the same time. Are they going for a non-royal rumber record? F the Guinness book mask record, they are going for the black man in the ring record!

If Ahmed Johnson was in his prime right now he would be in Cena's spot.

He's still supposed to be a face, remember? That's near riot inciting level heeling.

And the Price/Daugherty era Cavs were good enough talent wise to have their playoff runs halted by the +Ewing Knicks & +Jordan Bulls. The LeBron era Cavs put too much pressure and stock in the "hometown hope" without making any effort to surround him with any type of talent and expecting him to singlehandedly lift them to multiple championships.

I don't hate LeBron, but I didn't delude myself that he was going to stick around northeast Ohio forever. A lot of people did, however, and resent him to this day.

I don't care about the face/heel thing. I would have loved to hear and see the reaction if he had come out with a LeBron jersey and would have given him props to have the balls to wear it but of course that wouldn't have happened.

Am I the only one who didn't think the chairshot from Janetty to Balls looked that bad? The blog from the Pope made it seem like JBL to Eddie times 5.

CSL 03-13-2012 06:10 PM

nah, it was a shitty chair shot/pretty fucking unprofessional (something that looks like shit/like it doesn't hurt but actually hurts like a fucking bastard/does some real damage) I mean, he pretty much hit him in the back of the head with the sturdiest part of the chair. JBL's shot on Eddie was perfect, Eddie just went too deep with the blade

Lock Jaw 03-14-2012 04:50 PM

One would think that when the pyro goes off completely unexpectedly when you are moving towards the turnbuckle, that you would indeed get surprised.

Cool King 03-14-2012 05:14 PM

Yet another change to the PPV schedule it seems.

Before, we had No Way Out returning in July and TLC in December. Now, we have Bragging Rights returning in July and Armageddon returning to it's December slot.

Though I would take all that with a pinch of salt as WWE.COM still has No Way Out and TLC listed in their Pay-Per-View Schedule section.

WWE Films is rebooting Leprechaun.

Triple Naitch 03-15-2012 08:09 PM

Is Warwick Davis gonna be in it?

Xero 03-15-2012 08:10 PM

From Variety:

Lionsgate is pacting with WWE Studios on a two-film deal.

Studio will team with the Connecticut-based entertainment company on a reboot of "Leprechaun," the 1993 horror pic that was one of the first starring roles for Jennifer Aniston and an indie hit. Pic was produced by now defunct studio Trimark, which was eventually absorbed by Lionsgate in 2000.

Both Lionsgate and WWE Studios will share producing costs as well as team on marketing strategies. Lionsgate will handle distribution.

Pic is set for a 2013 release, though there is currently no writer, director or cast attached. The other film in the deal has yet to be determined.

WWE, the home of a handful of wrestling programs, is readying to launch a new TV network and restructuring its film division. WWE Chairman-CEO Vince McMahon wants to give WWE Studios some time to grow under new head Michael Luisi, who was tapped to oversee the division in September.

Rather than fully develop and produce its own slate of films, Luisi has been busy picking up films from festivals such as Sundance and Toronto, co-producing projects with other shingles, and locking down deals with Fox to grow its direct-to-homevideo franchises like "The Marine" "to improve the profitability of our movie business," McMahon said.

Upcoming films for WWE Studios include "No One Lives," starring Luke Evans and WWE personality Brodus Clay, "Barricade," starring Eric McCormack; and cult hit "The Day" starring "Lost" vet Dominic Monaghan, Shawn Ashmore, and Ashley Bell, which was purchased at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival.

As for its deal with Lionsgate, Luisi said: "We have been looking for ways to continue our relationship with Lionsgate and we saw 'Leprechaun' as the perfect opportunity to take a well-known franchise and put a modern-day spin on it. This is a property that we believe our audience will respond to and we continue to look for ways to surprise and engage them."

Lionsgate and WWE have teamed before on pics "See No Evil" and "The Condemned."

WWE has a huge male fan base it can tap into, with wrestling programs strewn across the dial, as well as a profitable pay-per-view business with "Wrestlemania."
