With ECW going head-to-head on 10/10 with the Spike TV Ken Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz III match, at first the word was WWE was not going to acknowledge or counterprogram. However, WWE announced today it will have a live strip poker game with all the women in the promotion (Raw, Smackdown and ECW) as its counter to the UFC two-hour live show. From Meltzer. Tate As long as it is live I am all for it.  |

A few SD notes.
Lashley to me is better than Batista in the ring. As of Late, Batista appears not to care about being in the ring, sure everyone wants to be in the WH title scene, but sometimes you gotta step back and give yourself a breather. He was good at first when he was champ, but now I'm thinking it's not the best thing for him. Go Lashley.
Also, Sean spoke about this some time ago, and I choose not to believe him because I've yet to see it, but the Miz looks RIDICULOUS, in his match with Funaki, he'd do a move then taunt on the ropes, he did that for 3 series's of moves, he just annoyed me just by him wrestling. I hope they just take him off TV. JBL make a great comment on him, he said "if he'd be any better he'd stink" and also he brought up the point about him using RL tv shows to pad his career. No one cares that he was on the Real World. I almost would rather watch Cena than the Miz....though it's a toss up.

I have Smackdown downloaded. Figured I'd give it a chance since two people in the main event are two people I like a bit. Plus it was the "season premiere" so I figure they might try a bit harder to put on a good show.
I am actually pretty excited for the TNA PPV tomorrow. Anybody who wants links to the download can PM me and I will send you the links as soon as I get them. It is usually up in NSV files an hour after the show is done. An avi file probably won't be up until 5 or 6 hours after the show.

Batista has always been awful in the ring.
Lashley is still too green.
Miz is awful.
JBL is a great commentator, tho if the rumours are true, he's handed in his notice but may have worked somat out with wwe and so might stay :-\
booker T is fun.

I'd only ever watch Smackdown again for Finlay and some of the new guys. Turkay, or whatever his name is... What I saw of him and his partner/manager is very very promising and impressive. Other than that, Smackdown is really nothing to waste my recording space on. Raw just fucked that up too. Oh well, there's always ECW and TNA...  Makes me soooo wish ROH was easier to access. That or anything with Super Dragon. He's awesome from the youtube vids I've seen of him |

they are using Finlay to help Batista get over better. Finlay is Good, but no one is good enought to help out someone who now has an ego even bigger than Vince's Booker just needs to drop that stupid king talk on the mic. |

That's what gives booker his charm (for me anyway).

ASHLEY: First off, we miss you! When can we expect to see you, if ever again?
CHRIS: Well, I never planned to be away that long, and absolutely I plan on coming back. I’ve just had a lot of projects I’ve been working on, and each time one finishes up, another one starts, but I do hope the time will come soon that I come back and I’ll be better than ever. The Jerichoholics and myself would expect nothing less!
ASHLEY: Fozzy seems to be doing very well right now, I’ve heard some buzz about it and have a copy of the album, so I know how good it is. (“Wanderlust” is by far my fave tune on the album, so definitely check it out.) Tell me about the tour, how’s it been going? Last time we spoke, you were in Aussie? Tell us the haps on the Foz! Are you writing and or recording a new album anytime soon?
CHRIS: Fozzy is doing great! Thanks for asking! I actually just wrote a ton of lyrics and sent them over to our guitar player who puts together all the music. We’re working on writing some new tunes and hopefully we’ll start recording sometime in late fall. We’re totally focusing on new material and new stuff. I’ll tell you one thing, there will definitely not be any country ballad duets with Leanne Womack on the new Fozzy record!
ASHLEY: Ha! Let’s hope not. I want to go to the Delicious Rox festival so bad to check you guys out along with Fear Factory and Drowning Pool, but alas, I have a wedding to attend and will not be able to make it. I’m gutted I have yet to see your band live and need to work on that!
CHRIS: No! Damn that sucks. DROX festival’s going to be great! Definitely looking like it’s going to be an amazing show.
ASHLEY: Whats next for Chris Jericho and what can the Jerichoholics look forward to in the near future?
CHRIS: All the Jerichoholics ask me on a daily basis when am I coming back to wrestling? They’ve been great, supporting me in all my other projects. You can always still catch me on my XM satellite radio show, “The Rock of Jericho,” every Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on The Boneyard, Channel 41. I play host.
ASHLEY: One last thing, do you care to comment on the Celebrity Duets show?
CHRIS: I just want to say that Celebrity Duets was one of the best experiences I’ve had and I’m sooo happy I did it. I’m also very happy with both of my performances. For those of you who didn’t dig “Mendocino County Line,” just remember that it’s a Willie Nelson song and he has a very unique vocal style. I think if you listen to the original, you’ll hear that my version was very faithful to his vibe and style. And Peter Frampton was awesome! Now was I the best singer in the contest? Hell no! Was I the worst singer in the contest? Hell no! Was I one of the most entertaining? Of course! Many people are saying I was robbed, and in some ways maybe I was. But I’d rather leave the party early than overstay my welcome and be the guy that HAS TO GO! But I stand behind my performances and my robot joke RULED! For everyone that thinks that I didn’t have the best time, and whoever didn’t think that being in People magazine, Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide and being on Extra, Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight, as well as being on a network show in front of 10 million people didn’t help the Jerichoholic cause, then go back to the night shift at Taco Bell and analyze my life some more... Duets rules!!

Hulk Hogan called into the Bubba The Love Sponge radio show on Sirius Howard 101 on Thursday afternoon live from Vince McMahon's office in Stanford, Connecticut. It was a very interesting segment. Below are the highlights:
- Vince was late for the meeting, so Hogan was calling alone from Vince's office. Since Hulk arrived at WWE headquarters, there were cameras on him the whole time.
- Hulk wants to return to WWE and his meeting with Vince was to discuss ways to get him involved in storylines.
- Brooke Hogan's album drops next week and Hulk wants Vince to promote it on Raw this week.
- Hulk wants to be at the Royal Rumble and would even wrestle at Survivor Series.
- When asked about a match with Steve Austin at WrestleMania 23 (which is strongly unlikely to happen), Hulk said that if they booked Austin as the face and him as the heel, he would still get all the cheers. When asked if he would job to Austin, Hogan said he would want to do "what's best for business".
- They kept asking Hulk to do his Vince McMahon impression and say "YOU'RE FIRED!" and at the end of the segment when Vince finally arrived for his meeting with Hogan, Hulk "fired" Vince.

Jericho returning would be the best thing to happen to WWE in years. Unfortunately, what the hell would they do with him? If they give him a World Championship run, they'd make it pointless and stupid like his previous encounters. And there's not a lot of people he could feud with that would give an interesting run, except for Edge maybe. And Edge/Jericho feud would be killer.
I don't see this happening anytime soon, of course. But if and when it does ever happen again... You just KNOW they'll fuck it up as usual. *sigh*
