Nope, they'll just cut out the Benoit/Guerrero match and the match with Kurt Angle as well. And the main event interview will feature the stars of the soon to be hit series, The Mullets.

U know...It's sad that...THE MULLETS is UPN's biggest hyped show in years...

 

 

Me thinks they think they got a Married with Children on their hands here.

THE MULLETS

Tuesday 9:30 p.m. ET

 

-The Premise:

Two wrestling-loving, light-hearted guys (translation: jug heads) who

sport identical mullet haircuts ("Yo, dude!) live life to the fullest

while dreaming of bigger and better futures.

 

-Who Was There:

Michael Weaver, David Hornsby, John O'Hurley, Loni Anderson and

executive producers Eric Tannenbaum, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein.

 

-The Scoop:

According to Josh Weinstein:

"You've got to go for it. And we think that's lacking on TV. There's

too many shows where there's sort of like witty, urbane put-downs and

stuff, and let's have a show that really goes for it and has fun."

 

According to Eric Tannenbaum:

"There's a lot of movies, Dumb and Dumber and Wayne and Garth, that

really work and there's an audience. And to try to do something

different, to swing from the fence when there's a lot of conventional

sitcoms on the air, we think, is just to have fun. We're not trying to

do anything deep here. This is a family. These people love each other.

And we do think there's an underlying sweetness to the guys in the

family."

 

And According to the Programming Insider:

Relax and enjoy. Although Emmy won't come calling, you just might have

a laugh (or two).

 

-The Reality:

Although you might get a few chuckles over the stupidity of this

sitcom, lack of lead-in support in an already historically troubled

UPN time period is unlikely to translate into success.

McMahon might not have a say in the matter. He probly has to deal, or find another network.

 

anyway, who doesn't want to watch this show? business in the front... party in the back!!![/sarcasm]

That show looks like crap on an astronomical level.

 

Also, does McMahon really think that synergy with a show about wrestlin-lovin, beer-drinkin white trash is gonna increase his market towards the nainstream?

 

The crazy fool.

I guess so since the Mullets worked an angle before Raw on Monday night with the tag champs and the Dudz.

What Ultimo Dragon segment? The guy is rarely on the 3 hours of TV the SmackDown brand produces every week.

Well, if Dragon had the segments he deserves, then they'd be cut.

Anyone else think the 2 year anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, was the reason it was only going to be 90 minutes?
