The man of a thousand rest holds.
The new DVD set is being worked on right now, and news about Bishoff and Ted Turner turning down participation in this compilation have made the rounds, Jim Ross made his statement about the deal, and it is apparently now going to be an official WWE only version of history. I can't help wondering how they will handle the project. Their Rise and Fall of ECW was pretty fair I thought, they left out bits and pieces, but overall, I'd say it was fair, I think Paul Heyman was working with the WWE at the time though, I'm not sure. This is another story, they could easily turn it into another "The Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior" which was a pure case of character assassination. My personal feeling is that the WWE will try and make it as fair as possible, but will put themselves over in the process, they might not bother with the details of how WCW actually folded, which was as a corporate merger casualty, being acquired by a bigger corporation that had no interest in having a pro wrestling organization that had huge salaries and costs attached to it, the WWE might tend to perpetuate the myth that they put WCW out of business, which is simply not true. What do you think ?
