The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Eric Bischoff is indeed in talks with CMT about the creation of a new wrestling promotion which would air on the channel. Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are currently in the process of debuting Hogan’s new celebrity wrestling show, and talks then lead to Hogan and Bischoff possibly creating a new promotion entirely. The issue at hand is that there appears to be no “name” talent that could appear with the promotion that is not currently signed to WWE, TNA or ROH. The only big name free agents available at this point, excluding Hogan, are RVD, Goldberg and Bobby Lashley.
