The following press release was issued today:

MX Digital Partners with Traffic Generation (Traffgen) to Enter Multi-Billion Dollar Worldwide Market of Social Casino Gaming

LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — MX Digital, the leading US-based developer and distributor of worldwide branded-online-gambling games with distribution in 26 countries, has signed an unprecedented deal with Traffic Generation (Traffgen) to bring waged games to the social casino space. The company, which designs, produces, and distributes branded global entertainment for broadcasters, brands, and intellectual properties, will provide exclusive branded slots games including David Hasselhoff, Blues Brothers, Hulk Hogan, James Dean, as well as other celebrity branded themed games from their catalog to the social media marketplace.

Ted Lanes, CFO, MX Digital says, “Our recent success and growth in the international waged sector combined with our portfolio of gaming with the biggest names in social media, makes the expansion to social gaming truly exciting. Social casino gaming is currently a $1.7 billion industry and some have predicted it will be as big as $7 billion in a few years. MX Digital definitely plans to be at the forefront with our continued role out of games featuring iconic entertainment figures.”

Traffgen CEO Andy Caras-Altas said, “We are very excited to be working with branded content in the social space as it provides an opportunity to leverage the large social media following associated with these brands. Hulk Hogan, for example, has over two million fans on facebook and over a million on Twitter. We believe there is a great deal of potential in leveraging international brands. The ability to have a conversation with the players will help virality and thereby help to build the social following. Conventional social casinos find it hard to build this virality and we hope that this will drive acquisition in a fundamentally different way for MX Digital. The end result can be to make the most of the social nature of Facebook and to drive traffic more cost effectively.”

MX Digital will now join other leading companies including Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc., IGT’s Double Down Casino, Zynga, Wynn Interactive, Foxwoods Interactive and Foxwoods Development Company, with others in the social gaming space.

SASc – EP115 – Eric Bischoff Q&A

“You had questions for Eric Bischoff… and he had answers! Does he regret firing Steve Austin from WCW? Was Bret Hart really a good fit for WCW? Who’s Eric’s favorite wrestler? What are Eric’s thoughts on Bill Goldberg’s streak & how was he to deal with? Will Eric ever return to WWE in any capacity? Check out the Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff Q&A now!”

– The following is a WWE Countdown Extra featuring Santino Marella.

Wrestling legend Vader was recently interviewed by Wrestling101. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

The Undertaker: “Undertaker was just phenomenal and I would say he is the best big man in professional wrestling history, without a doubt.”

Brock Lesnar: “I think Brock Lesnar is just a beast, he’s an incredible athlete and he would be great at anything he turned his hand to, I would love to see Brock featured more than he is.”

Triple H: “Triple H is doing a fantastic job running the company now but I would love to see more of him performing in the ring as he is still a tremendous athlete.”

Rumors Of Him Entering The WWE Hall of Fame: “I heard rumblings about it a couple of years ago, but I’ve not heard anything for a while now. I would really like for that to happen, I think I?ve earned it. Yokozuna, Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy and myself would be considered super-heavyweights, and I would rank myself very high out of that group, and there is a time in my career in the early nineties where I considered myself to be the best big man.”

Comparing Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff: “Eric was put into a situation and I think from a wrestling standpoint he wasn’t really ready for it at that time. He became very educated and excellent at what he did but it was kind of like we had one guy running the wrestling part and then two weeks later we had another guy doing it and so on and so forth until Eric did it. I think Eric was way in over his head initially but he certainly figured it out with the help of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan and there were times when it became a biased situation but he achieved some great things, he is one of the most successful promoters in the history of professional wrestling. What can I say about Vince, he’s a genius, he is the most successful wrestling promoter of all time and just works so hard. He was very approachable and he has done nothing but treat me like a gentleman.”

The following are highlights from a recent Q&A update by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:

On Daniel Bryan running from Kane on RAW: “I can only assume that DB running away was to protect his wife as I don’t know any other reasonable explanation.”

On his relationship with Eric Bischoff: “My relationship with Eric is good and I will be interviewing him on a Ross Report podcast soon. I think that he’s moved on to other things from pro wrestling.”

On if WWE should have put the U.S. title on Rusev instead of Sheamus: “No…Rusev is too green to carry a championship match and needs to remain on a deliberate pace with constant coaching to allow him to grow into a star. He has potential and I like the package with Lana.”

On Extreme Rules not being very “extreme”: “In a PG world it is increasingly difficult to be “Extreme.” It might be time to re-evaluate that theme within WWE.”

On a CM Punk return to WWE: “I don’t see CM Punk returning to WWE any time soon, if ever. He’s enjoying life and there is life outside and beyond wrestling.”

Former WCW President Eric Bischoff was Steve Austin’s guest on this week’s Steve Austin Show podcast, which you can listen to at PodcastOne.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

Rumors Of WCW Being Shut Down In The Early 1990’s:

“What I saw from my perspective was that Turner Corporate was tired of [wrestling] politics. They tried the Jim Herd experiment. That didn’t work. They tried a couple of other variations of Jim Herd. They tried Kip Frey. That was a disaster. They tried all these different variations of management and leadership and I knew that Turner Corp. – I don’t remember who told me – but I had gotten word that they were considering pulling the plug. (pause) I said, ‘If they pull the plug, I’m going back to Minneapolis.'”

“So, I threw my name in the hat. I had heard they were looking for an executive producer – they tried the Bill Watts thing – and they wanted to get away from wrestling people. They wanted someone to run the company who understood the entertainment business, but wasn’t so entrenched in wrestling that they were sucked into the politics of it.”

Pitching Himself To Turner Executives:

“I was passionate and I felt it. I believed in it. I believed in myself. I’ve been passionate about wrestling since I was a little kid and I was passionate about my approach to it. And the solution that I had, especially given that Turner had identified as their problem, which was not wanting any more wrestling guys running a television company. So, it worked.”

His Vision To Make WCW The Top Wrestling Promotion In The World: 

“The vision was to broaden it because – if you go back in time and look at what WCW was and where it existed in that moment of time where I had that opportunity, it was considered a very small, third-rate, kind of Southern, hereditary aspects of the NWA and Crocket regional promotion, and they were trying to compete with the WWF at the time. So, if you want to compete at their level, you have to be able to play at their level. So, my approach was to mainstream it and to make it feel bigger and make it feel more mainstream and less regional.”

– The latest edition of the “Steve Austin Show,” which features part one of Steve Austin’s interview with Eric Bischoff, is now available.

The official description for the show reads as follows:

SASc – EP113 – Eric Bischoff Pt. 1

Eric Bischoff mentioned on Twitter that he will be a guest on both Jim Ross and Steve Austin’s podcasts. Here’s his comments regarding those upcoming interviews.

Looking forward to spending time with @JRsBBQ @WWEJimRoss on his pod cast. Lots of history with Jim that we have never covered publically.

— Eric Bischoff (@EBischoff) April 19, 2014

Looking forward to sitting down with Steve Austin on his podcast. Should be interesting!

— Eric Bischoff (@EBischoff) April 18, 2014

Additionally, Bischoff recently answered a fan who asked if he would ever return to WWE. On that note, Bischoff tweeted the following generic answer.

@Gaurav9Kumar Never say never right?

— Eric Bischoff (@EBischoff) April 21, 2014

The following are highlights of a new Diamond Dallas Page interview:

On WWE purchasing WCW: “I knew my career was going to continue in WWE no matter what. So it didn’t affect me personally until I realized that a lot of people were going to lose their jobs and essentially lose their dreams. However, I always knew I would get to WWE because that was my goal since I was 17 years old.”

On his time in WWE: “The positive side of it is it was an awesome learning experience. What I should have done was say “This is an awesome angle, but not for me; let me know when you want to do People’s Champion vs People’s Champion” and then walk away. Since I didn’t, I learned a huge lesson. I always tell people it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes as long as you learn from them. So in reality, the Stalker angle was probably the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

“I may not have had the run that I wanted in WWE, but I got a great Wrestlemania match with Christian and I got to be on the same card as The Rock vs Hulk Hogan. It’s also funny how things come around because I was a competitor at Wrestlemania X8, but 12 years ago when Wrestlemania was held in that same arena, I was driving a pink Cadillac.”

On Eric Bischoff: “Bischoff was my close friend that I met in the AWA. We were nobodies together and we came up together. Nobody believed in either of us. We helped each other out with angles, matches, etc. He protected me when guys tried to mess with me. I missed having that when I got to WWE because there was a ton of egos.”

On Vince McMahon: “As far as Vince is concerned, I never really got to know him. I have respect for him, but I don’t know the guy that well because I wasn’t a top guy in WWE.”

The following are highlights of a recent VOC Nation interview with Scotty Riggs:

On his current status: “I’ve retired from wrestling due to injuries. The final straw was a fractured ulnar bone in my left arm. 13 screws and 2 steel plates to fix it, and after 2 surgeries it’s still not right.”

On the American Males theme music: “That was the creative genius of Jimmy Hart. He and Michael Hayes did a lot of the music over the years in WCW. (Jimmy) saw in me and Marcus, a mix of the Fabulous Ones, the Fantastics, and the Rock and Roll Express. His passion for those three tag teams came overflowing through that song. The first time we heard it, Jimmy was all excited, and (Marcus Bagwell) and I looked at each other and our jaws dropped. (I thought) ‘Oh my god it’s horrible but it still works.”

On whether or not he could have been a main event talent: “I don’t know; to be honest with you, there’s always a main event run in somebody. I just didn’t play the BS politics game. It really got heavy and deep. Everyone coming in had creative control in their contracts. I was the 47th hire in WCW and creative control didn’t exist back then. I had many influential friends, so I could have played that card, but that’s just not me.”

On Eric Bischoff: “Eric Bischoff never had the final say so in what was being done. Vince McMahon has the final say so. There were too many chiefs in WCW and not enough Indians. Eric was a great business man when it came from going from Saturday night shows to getting us on (primetime) TV. He was never groomed as a booker. He was never groomed to understand the inner workings of an angle or storyline. The booking committee was getting things done for him; he left things in the control of people like Kevin Sullivan and Arn (Anderson).”

On Vince Russo: ““Vince Russo came in and tried to turn WCW into another WWE. He didn’t care about wrestling; he cared more about his ‘crash TV’. He had skits and promos longer than the matches.”

On Bischoff versus Vince McMahon: “Eric saw everything in the short term. There was no long term agenda. Vince has a long term agenda. In terms of Wrestlemania, everything (all year) builds toward that one big event. Bischoff ran things week by week, and you can’t be successful without that vision.”

On the eye patch: “It was real. It was a chair to the eye. When the chair landed the wrong way up, the corner of the chair caught my eye. I had a bruised eye and it became part of the character.”

Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment and Paul Anderson Media Agent announced on Wednesday that former WCW president and WWE performer Eric Bischoff will be hosting a new weekly talk show.

“I have always enjoyed the freedom and improvisational nature of radio, and look forward to bringing an unfiltered and unique perspective and conversation to the table,” said Bischoff. “This is going to be a fun ride.”

“Eric’s proven reach across a broad spectrum of American households is no secret to broadcast networks and advertisers alike,” said Paul Anderson. “With the changing distribution landscape, from terrestrial to digital, focused and exclusive content is the gateway to success. Eric’s background and magnetic personality make him uniquely suited to take advantage of the new opportunities in the spoken word format. I’m confident Eric will be embraced by an even bigger audience.”

Former WCW wrestler Diamond Dallas Page recently spoke to the v2 Wrestling Podcast about his relationship with Eric Bischoff and how Bischoff doesn’t return his phone calls these days.

“Bischoff was a genius. He could be an asshole at times. I had an amazing relationship with him,” said Page. “We don’t even talk today, which is so f—ed up to me, and it’s his fault, because he sucks on the phone. We don’t even have a relationship anything like we had, but at the time, it was a real relationship.”

DDP concluded, “[Now] he doesn’t even return a phone call, which is so obnoxious.”

The following are highlights from a recent VOC Nation interview with former WWE Superstar and Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura:

On what it would take for him to run for President of the United States: “Two things would need to be met; I don’t run to lose, I run to win. I would have to have ballot access in all 50 states, and I would need a guarantee that I would be allowed in the debates. If you’re not allowed in the debates you have no chance of winning. You wrestling people could do that for me; just go out and get Jesse Ventura ballot access in all 50 states. All it takes is leg work to sign petitions. Every state is different; you’re going for a Federal office – shouldn’t it be the same in every state? That’s so Independent’s like me have trouble getting on the ballot. (Right now the chances of a Presidential run) are 50/50.”

On Barack Obama: “Barack Obama does not bring any change. People don’t understand that change isn’t going to happen by switching from Republican to Democrat. The only time you will really get change is to stay away from Democrats or Republican.”

On whether or not pro wrestling hurts his credibility: “If we truly want to go back far enough, Abe Lincoln was a wrestler. I don’t see where I’ve broken any new ground. Wrestling is a business; I was pretty good at it and I made a great living at it. Where did it ever say that you need to go to law school to serve? When I wrestled, I paid a lot of taxes.”

On critics of his WWE appearances while serving as Minnesota Governor: “I gave all of the money that I made to a scholarship fund. (the media) knew it. I used the money to create the Roosevelt High School Scholarship fund, and I’m proud of that.”

On his exit from WWE in 1990: “It was over a video game. Vince signed a contract with (Nintendo) and told me that I couldn’t sign an endorsement deal with another company (Sega). I told Vince that he didn’t own me; I wasn’t working under a contract at that time.”

On his relationship with Vince McMahon: “It was good until Linda McMahon ran for office. I said in the media that I wouldn’t endorse her because she ran on the Republican ticket, and I heard that Vince got mad at me because I said that publicly. I don’t endorse any Republican or any Democrat. If I he gave me as much money as he gave her to run for her elections, I would be the President. Why would you spend your own money to get a job in public service?”

On his relationship with Hulk Hogan: “I haven’t spoke to him or seen him at all since I left the WWE in 1990.”

On his relationship with Eric Bischoff: “Last time I saw him was when I was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004 and I don’t care for him.”

On wrestling vs. commentary: “Commentating hurt a lot less, and by the time I started to commentate, I was making as much more more than I made wrestling. The business had switched to (being based around) television. Why would I go in there and beat myself up when I can make just as much money commentating? People can say what they want about pro wrestling, but at one point in my career I actually wrestled 63 days in a row. It hurts. Wrestling is ballet with violence. Nobody looks at a great Russian ballet dancer and questions their athleticism do they?”

HUGE Update on the Future of TNA — and it’s NOT Good! **CLICK HERE**

Wrestling legend Larry Zbyszko recently spoke with Steve and Scum of WGD Weekly. Here are some highlights of what the “Living Legend” said about:

The financial state of TNA: “They just made wrong decisions…from what I hear, Bob Carter…he had a hard time saying no to his daughter, Dixie… Finally, they blew so much money with no real results after ten years that Bob resigned and I think the mother took over and she is controlling the purse. From what I hear… this guy is now fired, this guy is now fired and if you wanna stay there you get a pay cut. Half the guys wrestling there are on food stamps. I was shocked when I heard that one.”

Where TNA has gone wrong creatively: “If you look at TNA today, I mean like ten years ago they had some great matches, AJ Styles vs. Chris Daniels, now ten years later, like six or seven months ago, I’m flicking through the TV and I stumble across TNA… and what’s the main event? AJ Styles vs. Chris Daniels, they’ve been wrestling each other for ten years. I couldn’t believe it… don’t these people understand?”

Hulk Hogan in TNA: “Instead of guys who can do something, they are blowing their wad on Hulk, god bless him, but he can’t walk anymore.”

Eric Bischoff in TNA: “Eric, who listened to a couple guys, pulled something off, then took credit for it, but everything he’s been involved in since sinks because he doesn’t know and won’t listen.”

Sting being “lucky”: “Sting who was one of the luckiest men who ever lived. Sting couldn’t do a good interview, he couldn’t work good. We had to drop him from the ceiling for a year and dress him like the crow and not let him say a word to get one big match out of him.”

His relationship with and thoughts on Vince McMahon since once again working on occasion with WWE: ” I haven’t bumped into Vince. I’ve been doing some things, like at ‘Mania, but I was running around doing Axxess, and signings, and filming DVD’s. When they tape the NXT shows they film that right down the street here… but, I haven’t bumped into Vince yet. I haven’t seen him since 1981. I can’t wait to see him, it will be very nostalgic.He looks great, between you and me, he’s one of the best characters he’s got. Vince is a classic, he would die for his creation and his fans, you can’t take that away from him.”

Vince Russo coming to WCW in 1999 and the dying days of WCW: “Eric and his buddies were gone, so Bill brings in this idiot Russo who was writing for the WWE… as far as I’m concerned, he’s a cancer…So, this goofy Russo comes in and by the time he came in… it went back to stupid nonsense with some idiot who has no idea what he is doing. So, they move me to Thunder. I was pissed, I knew the biggest, hottest wrestling ever was about to die. Russo just kept doing stupid stuff, the worst part is, we had a guy that was the next Bruno, Goldberg, people loved him, he was hot… but instead of Goldberg being champion, the new champion was Russo and some idiot little, skinny puke, David Arquette…the whole thing just turned to absolute manure… you had this slob, Mark Madden on Nitro, picking his nose and god knows what else. It was horrifying.”

The official YouTube account of WWE has released a preview of the newly released Triple H: Thy Kingdom Come DVD and Blu-ray where Triple H recalls the nature of his arrival to World Championship Wrestling in 1994 as well as his contract negotiations with organization head Eric Bischoff.

BUY HERE: Triple H: “Thy Kingdom Come” DVD/Blu-Ray

Following a tryout match against Keith Cole that was suitable enough to be broadcast on the February 12, 1994 episode of WCW Saturday Night on TBS, Bischoff offered the then-24-year-old a two-year guaranteed contract. The WWE Chief Operating Officer explains why he asked for a shorter deal.

“This is one of these things that this conversation to me in my mind, I still, part of me believes like I can’t believe I had the balls to do any of this,” said Triple H.

“So [Bischoff] says, “I’d like to offer you a two-year deal, 52-grand-a-year.” Triple H replied, “Can I just do a year? And he said, “I’m offering you two years guaranteed, you want one?” He explains, “Yeah, here’s the thing. I said, “it’s 52-grand. Right? So I’m going to starve for a year. At the end of a year, you’re going to know I’m not worth 52-grand, or I’m worth a whole lot more than 52-grand. It ain’t going to take more than a year to figure that out, right? Let’s do a year.”

The New Hampshire native’s WCW tenure concluded after one year, as he left for the World Wrestling Federation after having his request to promoted as a singles competitor denied by organization heads. They had originally planned to pair him in a tag team with William Regal, and have future WWE Hall of Famer Sherri Martel as their manager.
