- John Cena has been nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Best Sportsman. Also nominated with Cena are Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes, David Beckham and racer Lewis Hamilton. The winner will be announced in October.

- Kevin Eck, who used to work for WCW, commented on the report that said Vince Russo didn't suggest Pacman Jones to TNA, in his blog today with the following: "As someone who worked for WCW when Russo frequently spoke about the company needing a publicity stunt to turn things around--such as the suggestion of paying O.J. Simpson $1 million to take a lie detector test on a WCW PPV, I find that hard to believe."

in ERIC BISCHOFF: CONTROVERSY CREATES CA$H, Bischoff tells what really happened. Beginning with his days as a salesman for Verne Gagne’s American Wrestling Association, Bischoff takes readers behind the scenes of wrestling, writing about the inner workings of the business in a way never before revealed. He demonstrates how controversy helped both WCW and World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc (WWE). Eric gives the real numbers behind WCW’s red ink—far lower than reported—and talks about how Turner Broadcasting’s merger with Time Warner, and then Time Warner’s merger with AOL, devastated not only WCW but many creative and entrepreneurial businesses within the conglomerate.

Bischoff has surprisingly kind words for old rivals like Vince McMahon, but pulls no punches with friends and enemies alike.

Among his revelations: How teaming with Mickey Mouse turned WCW into a national brand. Why Hulk Hogan came to WCW. Why he fired Jesse Ventura for sleeping on the job. Why Steve Austin didn’t deserve another contract at WCW, and how Bischoff’s canning him was the best thing that ever happened to Austin. How Ted Turner decided WCW should go head-to-head against Monday Night Raw. How Nitro revolutionized wrestling. Where the New World Order really began. How corporate politics killed WCW. And how he found his inner heel and learned to love being the guy everyone loves to hate.

Bischoff brings a surprisingly personal touch to the story, detailing his rough-and-tumble childhood in Detroit, talking about his family and the things he did to cope with the stress of the high-octane media business. Now a successful entertainment producer, as well as a wrestling personality, Bischoff tells how he found contentment after being unceremoniously “sent home” from WCW.

Love him or hate him, readers will never look at a pro wrestling show quite the same way after reading Bischoff’s story in ERIC BISCHOFF: CONTROVERSY CREATES CA$H.

fuck john cena!
