Vince Russo really was intent on killing wrestling.

It was Goldust. Why the hell would it have been called GDTV to start with and why the fuck have people admitted it since? Russo is a friggin fool.

I think t'idea coulda worked. Imagine Tom Green pullin pranks on t'Mean Street Posse or Vinny Mac imself. Sure t'actual wrestlin woulda been scrapped some....but eh.

Maybe after russo left and they never bothered with tom green goldust was a good choice for the "voyeur" spying on people kind of thing that gtv was all about? I don't recall them ever calling it GDtv and if they had called it that there wouldn't be much of a mystery as to who was behind it in the first place.

Was there really much mystery in the first place?

2- You think Vince McMahon would pay Tom Green to be on WWF TV every week? 3 - You think Vince McMahon would ever let Tom Green humiliate him? How exactly would Tom Green draw money from wrestling fans? See David Arquette. And what genius booked that again? |

HAHAHAHA! Tom Green, I can just imagine the promos he could have had with Steve Austin or The Rock. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
But no, it would never work. For the reasons Rob just listed, and about a dozen more. |

1- I don't care t'overanalyze every possible thing such as payroll and stuff. I thought t'idea woulda been funny. Worked was t'wrong word I suppose.
T'man woulda drew in some way. At t'time his show was hot. As Russo said before, t'wrestling fans were already tuning in, twas the other fans ye had to go for now. |

Just searched and I came up with the following interview from Ed Ferrara in PWTorch.
Originally, GTV was to have been the harbinger of the return of Goldust (with him working unseen to stir up trouble with the rest of the roster prior to his return). We then had some problems with USA Network over bringing the character back, as they felt he was a bit too controversial for them (gimme a break)... so we then opened up our thinking to figure out who else it could have been. One possibility we kicked around: At the time, Tom Green was very hot on MTV, and we were trying to see if we could bring him in to stir up a bit of more mainstream publicity, but that never worked out. On the bright side, the angle was abandoned before we were able to go through the list of talents with a "G" in their name before we got to The Gobbledygooker. http://www.pwtorch.com/artman/publis...le_13980.shtml So it apparently WAS considered, but after Goldust left. |

At the time Tom Green had his moment, Raw is War was by far the highest rated show on cable and was absolutely murdering his show in the ratings. What new people could he possibly attract to watch Raw? |
