JR talks TV star's tweet:

"She got cancelled by ABC, as many of you know her show was getting great ratings. It premiered with 18 million viewers. It looked like found a goldmine. I heard the estimate of how much money it was going to lose in the cancellation for advertising was around $35 and $50 million dollars that ABC cut loose from and it also cost a lot of talented people their jobs. That's what's really irking to me. But she made a late night racist Twitter post that will not be repeated here. I liked the show, as a matter of fact. It kind of reminded me of the old days. And Roseanne's like a dozen women that I've met in my lifetime, very outspoken, very strong. But you can't let this pass. It cost a lot of people their jobs, as I mentioned. It's just total lack of judgment. Maybe we should have sensed that when she married Tom Arnold, for God's sake. How smart was that? In any event, nobody's bulletproof, ladies and gentlemen, not even Roseanne."

XFL:

Oliver Luck has been named as CEO of XFL.

WWE sign champ:

Doc wanted millions:

WWE losing home:

MSG are considering an application from AAA to host a show there. WWE would have the right to refusal, but their decades long exclusive deal with the Garden is in jeopardy because officials from the venue are upset that WWE use other venues when they are in NYC. They would have to take some of the blame because they priced WWE out of holding PPV and TV events there with their fees for televised events, but WWE also now consider the arena too small for their biggest events.
