The Post and Courier has an interview up with Jody Hamilton about WWE
pulling out of their relationship with DSW. "It's the wrestling
business. (It) happens, and you've just got to learn to live with it.
I've been in this business 51 years, and this is certainly not the
most catastrophic thing that's ever happened to me."
DSW wrestlers have been told that none of them will be released and
that all will be relocated. Wrestlers were told that DSW was a failed
experiment and that WWE wasn't blaming them.
Some of the reasons that WWE had grown tired of DSW included a
feeling that Hamilton wasn't booking enough house show loops for the
wrestlers to get experience on the road. WWE also wasn't happy that
Hamilton signed a international TV deal with Fight Network in Canada
without permission as well as letting Bill DeMott continue to hang
around even after he was let go, undermining his replacement Tom
Prichard.
