That's a shame, really. SF III has some many intriging characters... it could really be a great thing to watch this ensemble cast interact in animation.
The biggest problem is that Capcom has stuffed the old characters from SFII down our necks for so long that when a game doesn't have them in it, it's not liked as much, and Capcom really didn't give time to the characters in SFIII to develop. There's plenty of examples because in the games they've made other than SFIII only 2 SFIII character has been in anything and that's Yun and Yang in CvS2...I think that's it. There's some things they can do, but I guess the good thing to this is that they can tell the story in the anime and make it official.
EDIT: But I kind of find it hard to believe that a new SF anime won't have Ryu as the main character.
Can't argue with any of that. I understand Ryu is the flagship of Street Fighter, and Capcom definitely has faith in his character... but SF III had another great character that could hold his own, Alex.
It would have been like passing the torch to a next generation superstar, but I think Capcom held Alex down. There were amble opportunities for SF III characters to shine in MvC II and C v S II, but they were passed up (except for a more marketable Yun and Yang). It's like Capcom decided to let that ship sink probably BECAUSE SF III had so many different characters-- from Oro to Necro, or even Q and Hugo.
With Alex, he seems to be a pretty marketable character, and his little feud with Hugo and his character's story could be enough to feature an Anime around. But, like you said, SF III wasn't as popular as the others. An Anime could be the thing to change that.
Here's to wishful thinking.
As for wrestling... you know, I love Eric Bishoff's character on RAW, but I would have LOVED to see Shane O' Mack come back as a tv figurehead. For the money he has... he sure loves to take the bumps in the ring! He's a great showman... like his pop :)

Eric Bischoff makes RAW for me. He's just great and makes everything entertaining, especially the "3 minute" spots. It's great TV. It reminds me of the stuff he did in WCW back when it was good. If Austin was still there this wouldn't have happened. I'm glad he's gone.
I'm just surprised about all the people who still think Austin's great despite the fact HE's the one who didn't show up, twice, and it's HIS own fault he's gone now. I never liked him. I love Bischoff, it's great to see him again, I certainly never expected it. I also am glad Shawn Michaels (my favorite WWF....WWE superstar) is back on the air, and will be in one more match. And if a SF3 anime is made, Ibuki better get some mad air time.
