WWE has a competitor for the Monday night wrestling audience for the first time since they gobbled down last competitor, Ted Turner's WCW. Interestingly, though Dixie Carter goes head-to -head with Vince McMahon for the first time, familiar faces abound.
For Carter's promotion, TNA (Total Nonstop Action), Hulk Hogan, and Eric Bischoff, former star, and former GM of WCW respectively, are aligned with TNA. It is "just business-nothing personal," you just know that Hogan and Bischoff would love to rub Vince M.'s face in the dirt--just a little bit!
WWE is headlining with the return of Bret Hart who left WWE a dozen years ago after punching out McMahon after he (Hart) was doublecrossed in the infamous "Montreal Screw Job," and lost his title in a bit of genuine chicanery. Hart was bitter, and disillusioned, and swore never to work with WWE again. In wrestling years "never" has turned out to be twelve.
One can be certain that both promotions will have more surprizes, and swerves for their fans tonight. A little competition should rouse both organiztions from their doldrums. fans, and wrestlers should both benefit. I can't wait!
