WWE only cares about useless big lumbering fuckers, bout time Matt joined his brother where his talent will be used and appreciated.

Rey is great! Just a shame about his shitty 619

I have a theory or two.
Either Barrett wins, then they let him have the rub for a couple of months until the Royal Rumble. He faces Cena at that event and during it Undertaker comes back and costs Barrett the match, leading to Barrett vs Taker at Wrestlemania 27. Meltzer kinda hinted at this a week or so back. The only problem I foresee is the fact that Taker may not make it back for Wrestlemania. That and the fact the Brock match is being talked about, though I doubt that will happen.
Or, Orton wins. Then the anonymous GM announces that he is giving Cena another chance if he can beat Barrett at TLC in December. He does and we go from there.

What a great fucking picture. That was after The Miz won the WWE title.
In other news Byran Alvarez thinks WWE might do an old school Nitro next year.
Expect Triple H to return next Monday IF Sheamus wins KOTR
Raw got a 3.3 Monday, the Monday Night NFL game was a low rater for once.
-- TMZ.com did a story on Miz winning the title last night.
-- The return of Tough Enough to the USA Network is all but official with WWE putting out a casting call today for aspiring contestants. Info is up here. They are looking for people with charisma, personality, athleticism, agility, stamina, strength and, I quote, "an INTENSE DESIRE to be the next WWE SUPERSTAR!"
-- WWE moved John Cena to the Alumni section of the website last night to get over his supposed firing. To not get it over they also aired tons of localized ads during Raw of upcoming house shows where he is wrestling main events. (Update frm this, Cena will be at Raw Monday he's bought a ticket.
-- The consensus within WWE after last night is that Orlando is the best city in the country in terms of drawing crowd reactions in 2010.
-- It appears the Morrison/Melina ass slap last night is WWE's version of TNA admitting Chris Sabin and Velvet Sky are a couple.

By sickening you mean great right?
The Miz has been great for about two years now, he's clearly the top heel in the company, and he's a draw within the company. Pkus the WWE are 100% behind him, allowing him to go on talk shows, and go out and do promo's in the ring. Like it or not The Miz has become that good, and really he deserves the Title for all that work because he has had to work harder for it because he is a relaity star and not seen as a traditional wrestler. This is a brilliant move.

News from Big Dave~
-- A report from TNA's Abu Dhabi show was really bad. The expensive ringside rows were only half sold, the show went short, the matches went shorter, promotion was non-existent, and the crowd didn't know how to react to Jeff Hardy but ended up cheering him as the babyface star. To TNA's defence, they are sold shows which means a third party paid TNA a lump sum for the shows. The promoters told TNA that the shows were sold out, but they were far from. They ran a 4,000 seater that should have sold out, and it did 400. Another show did 350. The next show did 250. During the latter stages of the tour, they reworked the card to allow Hardy to work as the babyface since the fans loved him. The wrestlers themselves treated it as a vacation.
-- Superstar Billy Graham and Bobby Heenan were hospitalised recently, but Heenan is back home. Neither are in good health, though.
-- Raven is now a stand-up comedian, working with Rev. Bob Levy (of Killers of Comedy and Howard Stern fame). Colt Cabana, Mick Foley, RVD and King Kong Bundy have also been doing stand-up shows.
-- Despite what TV suggests, Rhino might not be resigning with TNA.
-- MCMG vs. GenMe will be a Full Metal Mayhem (TLC) match at Final Resolution. "They may set the bar two weeks before WWE does the gimmick match to a level that the WWE guys won’t be able to match. Not that it matters because if you have a ****½ star match in an empty forest, you can argue whether it actually had an impact. "
-- Vince McMahon hasn't given up on Brock Lesnar appearing at Wrestlemania, as made obvious during Raw. Lesnar really wants to do the show, but Dana is adamantly against it. The payoff would be $2-3million and Lesnar's autobiography (written with Paul Heyman) comes out a couple of weeks after Wrestlemania.
-- Dean Malenko did have a heart procedure after all, having a stent put in.
-- Miz made the cover of the SmackDown vs. Raw game because WWE believed he would take on the rigorous media handling schedule. Miz has become the new media go-to guy and, much like Cena, seems to work very hard with it where others would balk. Most media people who deal with him seem to love him, much like they do with Cena too. WWE were also really happy with how much publicity his title win got in the mainstream media.
-- "On the European shows, when Vince wasn’t there and HHH was producing the announcers, it was like night-and-day. HHH said very little to them during the broadcasts, as opposed to all the swearing and demeaning and screaming. And when he did have a point, he usually waited until a break to make it."
-- There may be a PPV announcer change soon. Todd Grisham isn't well liked right now by management, and both Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler hate working with Matt Striker. CM Punk may get the spot, but WWE don't want SmackDown's team to look like the 'B' team. Cole and Lawler have pushed hard for JR to be brought back for big shows.
-- "At the Raw show in Orlando, a fan sitting at ringside came in dressed up in Hulk Hogan merchandise. Security made him remove almost all of it, but he was given a “Stand Up for WWE” T-shirt to wear."
-- And a note from the radio show, regarding Kurt Angle in MMA: when he was fired from WWE, he was offered a big deal from UFC but they wanted exclusivity whereas he was ready to sign with TNA and do both. Bodog offered him big money to fight Daniel Puder, and IFC (? - I think, don't quote me) offered him big money to fight Ken Shamrock. Obviously, he never took any of the deals.

No worries.
Also Raw got a 3.1 Monday. BUT it got a 3.4 in both regular hours (9-10 and 10-11), whereas it got a 2.7 in the 8-9 hour. My theory again is that people just forget Raw is on for 3 hours and just don't tune in. This was actually made into a little in joke on the old school Raw two weeks ago with Bob Orton saying Randy Orton forgot Raw started early and hadn't turned up yet. But yeah people just don't tune in to that first hour.

It was this last Monday....And on the 15th November, and another on the 13th December. It's otherwise normally on 2 hours, as it will be this Monday. In truth it isn't WWE's fault it's a 3-hour show, USA network give them three hours. All WWE control is the content of that particular TV show.
