Secret Agent 'McMahon' ?

I read today that Vince McMahon (seen here getting his hair pulled) has commissioned a series of WWE themed novels to be written. The first book in the series is scheduled for release this summer, the theme of which is as follows: Vince McMahon himself would be the main character in a James Bond type role and would lead a group of WWE Superstars in an undercover mission to break up a drug smuggling/distribution operation (Perhaps if it's a steroid distribution ring, Triple H or John Cena could play the main villians). I for one think that this is a gret idea! Well, actually I not only think that this is one of the worst ideas that Vince has ever had, but possibly the worst idea in the history of all mankind. What in the hell would possess him to even consider it, let alone try and make it a reality? Would anybody actually read any of these books (actually I predict that after the first book bombs that they will scrap the idea of any others)? From what I understand, the supposed 'Unauthorized Biography' of Kane (not Glen Jacobs, but Kane, the actual gimmick) that was released not too long ago was a complete disaster. And another thing - It's not really an Unauthorized Biography if Kane is out making appearances at book signings.

I think that the WWE needs to really stop trying to branch out so much. First there was the movie division where they are trying to produce movies starring WWE Superstars such as Kane's upcoming 'See No Evil', John Cena starring in 'The Marine'. and we can't forget about the 3 picture deal of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Next there was the TV deal where the WWE would try to develop TV series' to feature WWE Superstars. I'm not talking about getting wrestlers guest roles on shows - I'm talking about shows like sitcoms starring and based around the wrestlers. I haven't heard much about the TV stuff lately so they may have realized how stupid it was and scrapped the whole idea. At least I hope so. It's no secret that the wrestling business is in a bit of a slump right now. House show attendance is down, TV ratings are declining, PPV buyrates are down, and overall revenue has certainly seen better days. Perhaps all of these projects are just an attempt to get back some of that popularity and lost revenue. The decline in the wrestling industry is from a product that has gotten stale as of late, not from a product that needs more exposure. Come up with better characters, angles, and writers and the popularity and money are sure to follow in due time.

Bottom Line: Do I think that there is any possible chance for this book deal to work? It's got 'No Chance...No Chance In Hell!'

Actually, now that I think about it, it can't be any worse of an idea than this was.
