Wrestling fans, the WWE has plans to produce a new one-hour weekly show starting in 2009. The following announcement came from WWE.com this past December 19th regarding a brand new television show, "WWE Superstars".

World Wrestling Entertainment and WGN America have reached an agreement to create a new weekly, one-hour prime time series entitled "WWE Superstars" that will debut in April 2009.

Commentary: While there's no official program details yet, it's interesting to see WWE introducing yet another TV show into the mix. Currently, there's Raw on USA, ECW on Sci-Fi, SmackDown! on MyNetworkTV, and now WWE Superstars set for WGN America. Add in A.M. Raw which airs early on Sundays on USA, and you have 5 shows a week. Possibly "Superstars" will be a mixed show containing match highlights and other behind the scenes interviews/bits with the various superstars. Or maybe it will be a mix of superstars from all 3 brands competing in matches, helping to hype up Pay-Per-Views and main events on the other shows. Brace yourself for even more WWE sports entertainment, no matter which direction this show goes... Now let's start the petition for "WWE Divas the Show"!
