— WWE is holding a SmackDown live event tonight in Monterrey, Mexico at Arena Monterrey. Rey Mysterio, Big Show and Jack Swagger are the top Superstars advertised for the event.
– As evidenced by Monday’s RAW rating jumping around 22% from the previous week, there appears to be strong interest in the John Cena – Nexus storyline.
According to a reliable source, WWE creative is planning to book the angle in a similar way to the classic Million Dollar Man – Virgle relationship from 1990. The idea is that Cena will reluctantly serve under Nexus leader Wade Barrett – with hopes that WWE’s live audiences will be cheering Cena to stand up for himself and fight back against Barrett (as Virgil did with Ted DiBiase). Creative has done some longterm planning for this storyline and has a definitive finish in mind, but will be booking on a week-to-week basis until they get to the finish.
– WWE has announced that John Cena will be in the corner of Wade Barrett at WWE’s Bragging Rights pay-per-view. Barrett will challenge Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, with WWE teasing that Cena will be subservient to his leader and give Barrett the advantage.
– Kurt Angle just signed a 1-year contract extension with TNA Wrestling, but the Olympic gold medalist says he’s open to returning to WWE after that. Angle appeared on the Right After Wrestling radio show on Monday night and said:
“There comes a time when everybody has to hang it up. I’m coming to the close of my career whether it be a year or two or three. I know it won’t be full-time after this year. I would like to stay in TNA, but if I my option goes to WWE, I will. I want to stay in TNA, no doubt about it.”
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross had updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:
Monday’s Heart Procedure: “It’s good to be home without having to spend a night or two in the hospital. Thanks to all for their positive thoughts and prayers. They are and will always be much appreciated. My heart procedure has come and gone without having to undergo surgery to place a stent in a heart artery. Once the doctor went through my groin and up the femoral artery to take a look at my heart he discovered that there was only a 20% blockage in three spots which was not a reason for concern. People of my age group, I’m 58, most of the time have some calcium build up in their arteries. I am not in a high risk group and actually have a very healthy heart according to my cardiologist. My heart had improved greatly since it was last throughly examined in 2006. I credit that to weight loss and increased, regular exercise. With that said, I will begin hitting the gym again next week which will allow the puncture in my groin time to heal. The soreness in my groin is my only area of concern and that matter will heal in a few days. I was very blessed to receive the verdict that I did.”
Paul Heyman’s Brock Lesnar Biography: “I’m anxious to read the Paul Heyman/Brock Lesnar penned ‘Next Big Thing’ biography which is due out imminently (I don’t know the exact title.) Brock is a very private person and it certainly shows his trust in Paul to discuss Brock’s life in such through detail for the upcoming project. Lesnar was one of our best signees ever in WWE and most of the credit for signing the amazingly gifted, natural athlete has to go to Jerry Brisco who was teammates with Brock’s college wrestling coach at Minnesota, J Robinson. Brock cracked the magical, seven figure earnings chart faster than any WWE superstar ever. I don’t think that I have ever been around an athlete in any field of endeavor that had better overall skills than the former Golden Gopher. Lesnar has size, strength, quickness, speed, power, and amazing agility for a near 300 pounder. No WWE star before or since can match Brock Lesnar’s physical gifts. With Heyman becoming such close friends with Brock Lesnar, Paul has made the all important ‘emotional investment’ in Brock that is required to write a great book. As I said, I’m anxious to read the story of the UFC’s biggest star and a man for whom I have great respect.”
“Lesnar’s will to be the best at what he does was always prevalent when Brock performed under the WWE banner and that same unmatched passion is still in full force today in the Octagon for UFC. Lesnar vs. Cain Velásquez will be a huge fight for Brock’s UFC Heavyweight Title on Saturday October 23 in Anaheim. Cain Velásquez is another amazingly gifted heavyweight that has infiltrated the UFC and will be a major test to Brock as Velásquez has a great motor, endurance, mat skills and obvious punching power. This is one fight that all MMA fans will definitely want to catch on PPV.”
– After two weeks of RAW drawing under a 3.0 – we’re back on solid ground.
The night after WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, Monday’s episode of WWE RAW scored a 3.3 cable rating with hours of 3.26 and 3.39. This week’s show averaged 4,777,000 viewers.

Haas, who has been on the wrong side of WWE’s hit-or-miss booking, said:
“WWE creative is a joke. Way to kill off Daniel Bryan. Your brightest youngest star. Michael Hayes must have written this sh**. Please retire.”
Responding to a fan who challenged Haas’ comments above, he wrote:
“Don’t be a mark. They all have a say in the writing. Hayes is the most powerful of them all. He can change anything on any show.”
Haas followed up with the following, saying WWE has a deep roster, but creative only focuses on building up a handful of stars.
“There is great talent in WWE, they just don’t know how or refuse to write for them all. When the Monday night wars were going on, everyone on the roster had a story line. From Crash Holly to Stone Cold. Its an easy formula. Look at ROH everyone on the roster has a story line and is used. Not to be biased, but facts are facts. Every wrestler is unique and brings something to the table, that is what is great about the pro wrestling business.”
“As much as my passion was suppressed at WWE, my desire to prove all wrong burns .. I’m not done. But am done talking about WWE creative. New chapter. A lot to be thankful for. I am thankful for WWE time and the WWE fans.”

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with another blog on his website, which you can check out in its entirety at JRsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:
Steve Austin Teasing 1 More Match: “Saw where the UK Sun interviewed Steve Austin about another of Steve’s movies being released eminently. Again, when Austin said ‘never say never’ regarding him returning to the ring one can surmise that is true as long as Steve is healthy enough to want to train to get back into the ring but I would be shocked to see Steve ever want to wrestle anyone at anytime at any place in the future.”
“Could it happen? Sure. Will it happen? Highly unlikely. Let the rumors begin and the speculation run wild, BROTHER! Steve is immersed in is movie career and to get back into the ring would take time away from that endeavor as Austin would never step back in the ring without several weeks or perhaps even months of preparation. Stone Cold has too much pride to ever step in the ring merely for a pay day and not to give his fans a helluva bout.”
Hell in a Cell in the “PG Era”: “HIAC presentations in a PG world is a tough one to execute. Competing in an environment erected of steel ‘feels’ conducive to be more aggressive that a PG franchise can provide.”
Tonight’s RAW: “Tonight’s Raw presentation from lovely Wichita is hugely important based on what occurred on the PPV Sunday night in Dallas. Building realistic, personal issues over a deliberate amount of time and not getting in a rush while doing so will usually interest and encourage TV viewers to make an emotional investment in the process. It’s refreshing that WWE is seemingly trying ‘new’ things and one can assume that this direction will continue during this week’s TV programs especially Monday Night Raw which is WWE’s top TV priority and needs stimulating, weekly content particularly against Monday Night Football.”
– WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross will undergo surgery at 3PM CT today, where he will have a stent inserted into an artery near his heart. Ross was able to attend Saturday’s Oklahoma vs. Texas game and downplayed the seriousness of the surgery, saying,
“I ain’t scared for the heart procedure… My faith is strong and my doctors are awesome. Best shape I’ve been in in years.”
Ross also noted that he was supposed to attend last night’s Hell in a Cell PPV but couldn’t as his doctor wanted him to rest in preparation for today.
– Jack Swagger wrote on Twitter today his feud with Edge will continue:
“Threw a little surprise at everyone coming to He’ll in a Cell last night huh, well it’s definitely not finished between Edge & I!”
Edge has been rumored to be heading to Smackdown and it appears a program with Jack Swagger will be used to get him over to the Friday show.
– WWE is reportedly encouraging talent to create YouTube channels and post in-character video blogs for their fans to follow. Last week, we saw Melina post her first video blog, which you can see here.
The Sportsman Channel sent out the following press release:
Michaels’ First Appearance on TV Since Retiring in March; Wife Rebecca Joins Him Hunting
New Berlin, WI – August 3, 2010 – Hunting gear, shooting birds and…wrestling? That’s what you’ll see on this week’s episode of The Experience with Weston and Jodi Clark as the couple hosts recently retired WWE star, Shawn Michaels, and his wife, Rebecca. The Experience with Weston and Jodi Clark airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. EST, with re-airs on Thursdays at 12 a.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. on Sportsman Channel.
The Clarks said they filmed a total of three episodes with Shawn and Rebecca at the Venado Creek Ranch in Texas this past February. And what makes this show so special is that it is Shawn’s first time back on the screen since retiring in March. “The episodes will feature Shawn and Rebecca talking about their hunting experiences and viewers will get to see how Shawn enjoys himself in the outdoors,” said co-host of The Experience, Weston Clark. “Shawn is an enthusiastic and passionate person; I think viewers will see that enthusiasm come across when he and Rebecca talk about some of their dream hunts as well.”
The Experience with Weston and Jodi Clark sets out to surprise our nation’s heroes on every episode with a dream hunting trip, which they find by asking viewers to nominate their hero. This one-of-a-kind show goes “behind the hunt” to the human side of the story to reveal how we all share a common bond through the outdoors.
In the episode with Michael’s, viewers will be introduced to Assistant Chief of Police Tim Schnieder from Plainview, Minn. who recently lost his eight-year-old son to cancer. On Tim’s first time out in the woods with The Experience, he came up empty handed. So the Clarks bring him out again, but this time with his favorite wrestler, Shawn Michaels. “When Tim saw Shawn, he was just shocked – he couldn’t believe he was hunting with this wrestling icon,” said Clark.
Viewers will have to stay tune to the episode to see if Shawn and the Police Chief get their bucks!
Check out these pictures of Shawn Michaels and his wife Rebecca hunting:
WWE Hal of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin spoke to the UK Sun newspaper recently to promote his new “Hunt to Kill” DVD and had a lot to say about wrestling. Here are some highlights of what Austin said about:
Watching Wrestling: “I watch all wrestling whenever I can, I watch WWE and I watch TNA. I’ve just always had that passion for the sport. That’s what inspired me to enter the ring in the first place, I watched wrestling avidly as a kid and back then it was guys battering each other in smoke filled arenas and blood flowed freely. And that’s why I still watch WWE and TNA all the time today, it’s entertaining and takes me back.”
His Neck: “My neck was fixed in 2000, I had to leave the ring because of the damage, but in my normal life and movies it’s fine, although wrestling wise I’d be a total mess right now … I’m lucky, you know my neck is 100 per cent these days, I can do my own stunts and fight scenes where I can. I don’t claim to be a tough guy, but I give it a go.”
One More Match: “I never thought I’d say it, but when I’m asked about one more match these days I do tend to say ‘never say never’. So don’t rule it out.”
