Sim Snuka's WWE Future?, Backstage WWE 'Superstars' Update

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (F4WOnline.com)

? Believe it not, but Sim Snuka is one of many currently under consideration for an announcing position on the upcoming WGN show, WWE Superstars. This should explain why the second generation wrestler has surprisingly not been let go yet. For all intents and purposes, his character on Raw has been dropped. Snuka has not been seen since the January 12th of edition of Raw where Ted DiBiase double-crossed him (and Manu) on his return.

? Very little has been said regarding WWE's new show on WGN America (debuting Thursday, April 16 at 8:00 p.m.), but what is known is that the company plans on putting forth effort into the program instead of it becoming "The Charlie Haas Showcase." The idea is for the show to not be based around the likes of Charlie Haas, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Kung Fu Naki, but to have the regularly featured stars appear, as well as storylines. However, this will only last as long as it can draw good enough ratings to make the effort worthwhile, and WGN isn't even a top 50 cable station. If nothing else, the show will be around for a while as WWE signed a multi-year deal to air the program not to mention that the long-term future of MyNetworkTV is still in question.
