We start now at the very beginning with the first question and answer. Tune in tomorrow for the second question and answer.

Wade Keller: First of all, I just want to ask what have you been up to since you were thrown into the dumpster last time America saw you, both professionally and personally?

Eric Bischoff: (laughs) It's amazing how people remember those great moments in televison. Yeah, I've been pretty busy. Most people who follow your site know that my partner Jason Hervey and I have been pretty busy the last couple of years producing television shows for a variety of different networks. I tend to be busy in that area. We recently just finished up a pilot that's in post-production for VH1. We have another one in production for CMT for the Professional Bullriders Tour. We've got some great projects going on on the television side.

On the other side of our business which is licensing and promotion to a certain degree we'v got a couple projects we're excited about that have been in development for eight months to a year, one of them in the gaming industry. That product should be hitting the street hopefully end of the fourth quarter this year. All of the development is done, testing has been done, the labs have all been done. It's been a long, arduous process, but it's also a very, very big project and we're excited about it. So we're staying busy.

Keller: Are you closer at this point to being immersed in work like you were during your biggest times in wrestling, or are you also finding time for the recreational stuff you like to do in Montana and family time, travelling, hobbies...
