You may have already read something about the rumors of FOX having interest in purchasing WWE’s television rights (if not, read more about it here). There were some interesting names from FOX in attendance of Smackdown Live this week in Los Angeles.
This has added to the buzz about WWE and Fox potentially doing some business together.
The FOX Sports President and also a talent producer were in attendance at the show. Most notably though was probably radio personality Colin Cowherd.

Why is Cowherd a big deal? He has constantly mocked pro-wrestling and its fans. For example:
Apparently there was some booger eaters convention tonight or something. WWE tweets everywhere. Enjoy the hot pockets kiddies.

Maybe Cowherd has changed his tune about wrestling? Or maybe there is something to the FOX-WWE rumors. Certainly seems like there is at least a story here. We will have to wait and see if any more information comes out.
