Downhome

If only they'd take the belt off of Batista. Then it would be an even better show. Look what RAW does, then look what SD does. The ratings for one show goes down, the other goes down. Hmmm...

It's no wonder that Smackdown is just about up to the same number of viewers as RAW. What is this, three or four matches in the first hour with one of them going about 20+ minutes? Wrestling wrapped up in wrestling related storylines having to do with trying to make it to titles. Is that really so hard to book?

My God. That is truly a horrible DVD.

From PWInsider:

From PWInsider.com: There was another female indie wrestler backstage at this past RAW, and she was going to portray Barbara Walters and interview "Rosie". For whatever reason that didn't take place, but we might see that in the upcoming weeks. My God. I bet we see that for sure after BW's comments earlier today about Trump and that entire mess.

Did you hang around for a little while? I've seen Wiis on the shelf, but after hanging around for a few minutes they've always been bought up in no time at all. I ask the workers and they say that they just got them in stock.

Keep checking back. With things like this, some stores get them one week and other stores don't have the same thing up for a week or two or three. I find it ironic how WWE has just about ignored the TNA/VKM stuff, yet Rosie and Trump seem to be ignoring the WWE stuff so far. I know that there are rumors of Trump at least showing up on WWE TV, but he didn't mention anything on Conan.

Donald Trump is on Conan right now, but it doesn't look like they're going to mention the WWE bullshit. Here is a picture of the Walmart display:

I find her hotter each time I see her.

Oh well, just another strike against ECW I guess.

What in the bloody hell!?

Wow, is Rayman Raving Rabbids meant to be the easiest game of this new generation or what? I can understand the game being short since the main thing here is the mini-games and the main story is just there to unlock everything, but holy wow is the game short and not challenging at all. Don't get me wrong though, I did have a blast playing it. It just didn't present a challenge of any sort for me. You'd have to be a complete brain dead goof to not get most of the mini-games on your first try, and the racing and rails-shooter stages were a breeze. The dancing "drum" game you do in each stage was great, and was a great example of what the Wii will be able to bring to the rhythm genre down the line, but it was also a piece of cake.

Hogan vs. Khali at Mania instead of TBS?

It would be funny if Umaga got pushed down the card and AAE dumped him for Khali...and for Mania we get a face Umaga vs. heel Khali with AAE.

He love double double E?

Have they done a bit where Ron Simmons shows up to say "DAMN", but instead just waves it off acting like it's not even worth his time?

He's just so talented (big) that one single brand can't contain him.

Not till I see Brad Armstrong in fatigues. Well, we're just one brand away from that being possible.

It's No Limit Soldiers vs. West Texas Rednecks all over again!

I wish we were all watching the "TNA - Impacto Total" House Show in Porto, Portugal instead of this RAW. From PWInsider:

So what was that, 10 minutes plus the backstage shit?

VKM, VKM, VKM or TNA, TNA, TNA I heard both.
