Did you hear WWE Studios is producing a remake of "A Christmas Carol" with Vince McMahon cast as Ebenezer Scrooge?
OK, not really. But the WWE chairman and CEO has been likened to Scrooge after WWE announced Sept. 4 that "Raw" will air live on Christmas for the first time. The show will be live on New Year's Day as well, but, obviously, New Year's Day is not as revered as Christmas Day.
As it turns out, McMahon may not be the person responsible for ruining Christmas for the "Raw" talent and crew after all. After WWE star Jeff Hardy's wife complained via Twitter about her husband having to work on Christmas (the couple has two small children), she subsequently tweeted that "apparently" it was USA Network's decision, not WWE's. So what we have is the real-life version of "Scrooged," the movie in which a heartless network executive played by Bill Murray forces his staff to work on Christmas Eve.
