The Ryland Report
Glad to be able to say we have a healthy roster right now!
You can expect to see a lot more of Shane Douglas, Super Crazy, Juventud Guerrera, Christopher Daniels, Rey Misterio Jr. and Johnny Smith in the coming weeks. These are all very talented workers, who we see as integral to World Championship Wrestling. I wouldn't be surprised to see one or more of them to step up and start making waves in the main event scene soon.
Read some Internet reports last week - great work as usual from The Scotsman. Good gawd almighty, he is a hoss! A Scottish hoss at that.
I've seen reports that WCW might be interested in Scott Hall, who is currently a free agent. At this time, i can say that no meetings have taken place, although of course we are always interested in talented workers.
Big thanks to our fantastic sponsors THQ, Playstation 2, 1Wrestling.com and Dominos Pizza; these mutually beneficial relationships are great for all parties involved.
Until next time, take care...
