It's Scherer, so take it with a big container of kosher salt, but...

Sweeps are only for broadcast TV, so it wouldn't affect USA/Raw.

Monk actually beat Raw last week (and I'm guessing it has since the season started): 5. "Monk" (Friday, 9 p.m.), USA, 3.64 million homes, 5.01 million viewers. 11. "WWE Raw" (Monday, 10 p.m.), USA, 3.29 million homes, 4.8 million viewers. Ad revenue for wrestling is REALLY low. A 2.5 for Raw gets them a lot less money than a 2.5 would for Dead Zone.

From an HHH thread at WC:

Especially since USA is now able to successfully develop original shows and needs WWE less than it ever has in the previous quarter century.

Is it really a con if it's necessary for survival? If you get it via your MySpace with help from Rob Feinstein then it's a con.

How the hell did I forget this? Konnan solicits a kidney donation via his MySpace: Seriously.

From the makers of this: We get this:

I hadn't thought about it that way, but you're right.

No, it's not.

How so?

No no, I mean that WWE hires most of their roster based on steroid-inflated physiques. The closest thing in Hollywood would be nudging a star to do one cycle if he's going to be shirtless a lot.

Linday Lohan is considered completely pathetic by the media and drug use isn't a condition of employment for most.

So... Will WWE rack up lots of overtime with the shredder, or is it pointless to do so unless Aegis Labs does the same?

Not sure if it was Malenko-run, but at that point it wasn't really an outlaw anymore with CWF dead.

That's Global Wrestling from '89 and it's Hector vs Joe.

It was New Japan I know he actually did tours for NJPW but I always heard the scam as being Michinoku Pro.

Off topic, but I've never heard of Sunbelt Wrestling before. Does footage exist and was it actually any good? No footage that I know of.

Wha....how old is he again? I want to say 43. Still, is Ric Flair even a grandfather yet? It's just very strange that a guy who's jacked up and considered a viable contender for the World title is already a grandpa. He's believed to be 41 but he's "officially" 38.

I know somebody who fell for that! Man, was he pissed. Awesome! Details please. That's pretty much the entire story. He thought he was going to Japan through Pat Tanaka and then Tanaka skipped town with his money. I think the moral to this story is that if you're a wrestler, you should never, ever pay anybody money no matter what they claim it will do for your career. Well, is the guy normally this dumb?

Oh, I forgot, Rose & Piper got $10,000 out of it.

Yes.
