No venue or broadcast deal has been announced for the show.
It is possible Black is hoping to build on the publicity his former promotion will gain from the Dark Side of the Ring episode scheduled to air later this year. The following topics will air in the second half of season 3:
- The WWE Steroid Trials
- FMW
- Luna Vachon
- WWE’s Plane Ride from Hell
- XPW
- Johnny K-9 (Bruiser Bedlam)
- Chris Kanyon
The other promotion scheduled to be featured in the second half of season 3, FMW, has also announced a reboot. Atsushi Onita has announced FMWE will run a show later this month.
“The meaning of E is explosion,” Onita said. “It is an explosion. It is an organization specializing in hardcore that is said in the world. There is a request to see an electric current blast in the United States, and we are doing an electric current blast all over the world.”
