They were probably pissed that Eddy didn't come out in a truck.

Half million new viewers? all of whom probably tuned to SpikeTV for the Trucks Marathon and lost their remotes and were too lazy to turn their channel.

Next week on RAW: The Referees get drafted Following week: The ring crews get drafted Week after that: Announcers/Interviewers get drafted Week after: Vince drafts random people from the crowd and gives them a job writing storylines.

But wait! The match at Backlash was already made. Benoit vs HBK. I guess HHH has to come in and Pedigree HBK before he signs the contract next week and sign his name to the contract instead.

'Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue' (PS2) Theres a whole description but who cares, its a Barbie Game. 'Monster Garage: The Game' (PC) Straight from the bad-idea file comes "Monster Garage." If you watch any amount of television, your chances of avoiding Jesse James, the gearhead behind the show, aren't good. The game takes challenges from the show and asks you to complete them. That gameplay means you transform vehicles into crazy contraptions. As popular as the show is, this game isn't going to make any new fans. You begin by buying parts. Everyone knows how men love to shop. Once you have the parts, you can enlist the services of all-star wrench monkeys to do some of the dirty work. But it turns out you have to do most of the work yourself. Who needs Ninja Gaiden when you can unscrew bolts in this game? Things get really interesting when you're asked to remove body panels. And the excitement becomes uncontrollable when you get to weld! You know we're kidding, right? Sorry "Monster Garage," the only people who might be interested in this game work on real cars. 'Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing' (PC) This is hands-down, the worst videogame to ever see the light of day. Really. It's supposed to be a racing game, but you don't really race anyone. Your competitor appears at the starting gate, but he's not going anywhere. He just stays put. Talk about an easy win. Objects in the way? No worries. You can drive right through them. And don't bother crossing a bridge. You'll fall right through it. Fun! Tired of following the beaten path? Why not leave the game world altogether? You can drive off -- not into the blazing sunset -- but into a blank, white space. Good thing you can get back. The box says to get ready for CB talkin', convoy rollin', action. But there's no CB, or any sound for that matter. And the last time we checked, one rig does not equal a convoy. ---- I'll add: Any Mary Kate/Ashley game. Its ashame theres like 20 of them on the Gamecube. BTW.. I've got a $15 off $15 or more code to the EA Store at EA.com. If someone wants it, first person to PM me gets it, no strings attatched.

I think Vince rigged the Nielsen ratings.

Heyman should have stayed on RAW and been the 3rd commentator and then quit after he couldn't take the abuse from Lawler and JR every week. That would have been awesome.

Smack your TV...with your head as you fall asleep..

Im convinced that Teddy Long will be the new Smackdown GM. He fits the UPN demos, he has "GM experience" and hes awesome on the mic. Theres no other really good reason for him to be on Smackdown.

Teddy Long = Next Smackdown GM

Just a hunch those waves and cheers weren't just for on camera HHH. HHH: Everyone-uh in that lockeroom who cheered and sang about me leaving RAW needs to be traded to Smackdown.. Vince: Can do. On Smackdown.. Vince: As the new GM of Smackdown, Im pleased to announce that I worked out a trade to send everyone on RAW but Batista, Orton and Flair here to Smackdown for everyone on Smackdown except HHH and RVD.

Is O'Haire still around, or did they release him a while back? He's still employed. Why? They kept him around so they could reform the great Jindrak/O'haire tag team from their great days in WCW.

Ravens play the Eagles in the 2nd game of the preseason in Philly on a nationally televised Friday Night game on CBS. Odds of T.O. not playing = pretty good. Ravens also play the Falcons in week one of the preseason on ESPN, Detroit week 3 and the Giants week 4 (highlight will be Fassel meeting his old team).

My Analysis: RAW: Shelton Benjamin's singles push will fail and he'll end up tagging with Rodney Mack when he comes back. Charlie Haas will probably have better luck, although I can't shake the idea that they'll team him with Bradshaw at some point..ugh. Nidia was the best Women's option on Smackdown to come to RAW, but shes probably only a tiny bit better than Lita. Lawler probably is the biggest beneficiary since he gets new tits to oogle at on Monday Night. Rhyno fits well on Smackdown and could be a low upper card heel, but with RAW losing HHH, theres a gaping hole for Top Heel thats gonna be open after HBK runs with it. And we all know who the next heel in line for the Top Heel run is.. Tajiri doesn't fit on RAW but its not that bad. Akio and Sakoda can become a Tag team that no one cares about on Smackdown. Edge was the best pickup on RAW, but I think there are too many faces on RAW. Im taking bets on how long until we get Edge vs Christian, since thats too obvious for even the WWE to pass up. Paul Heyman? If the whole purpose of drafting Heyman was for him to quit and do the ECW thing, than there would have to have been a better way to do it than for him to be drafted, essentially wasting a pick for RAW. Smackdown Rene Dupree is supposedly the better of the La Res. Trio, but I can't see him getting a singles push thats sucessful. Mark Jindrak, well no one cared about him on RAW with Garrison Cade, I doubt a singles Push will work any better. Probably will get teamed up with Matt Morgan or Albert. HHH going to Smackdown was probably the whole reason behind the draft thing to start with. You knew he was going to Smackdown since theres a real lack of top Heels on Smackdown, although now it looks like RAW has the same problem sort of. RVD should have been moved to Smackdown a long time ago and is probably the #2 beneficiary of the draft behind HHH although its funny that he can't shake HHH. I was sort of thinking it would be cool if he was a heel on Smackdown alligned with Heyman but thats not happening with Heyman leaving. Teddy Long will either be the new GM of Smackdown (long shot) or do nothing more than possibly manage ..uh..Orlando Jordan? Total waste of a pick when they could have put someone like The Hurricane on Smackdown. Spike Dudley going to Smackdown was rumored a long time ago, I thought they forgot about it. Will work well in the Cruiser Division, and imagine the Big Show/Spike Dudley encounters.... Overall a huge disapointment since the rosters weren't really shook up that much and those that did switch were either highly expected (HHH, RVD, Edge, Spike Dudley) or pointless (everyone else).[/color]

My Kansas vs UConn Championship game looks like a good prediction afterall.

wait a minute.. Screwing didn't get censored this time?

heel turn..with no purpose since he'll get put on Smackdown and sent to Velocity.

The Refs are sucking hard in this game. Gilchrist gets called for a foul on a play where he got elbowed in the head.

Syracuse's defense is killing Maryland..

I lost an Elite 8 team. Argh. Manhattan is hanging around with Wake Forest..

Gonzaga down 15 with 5 minutes. ouch.
