Raw is on at 8:00 PM CST, Mondays, SpikeTV (formerly known as TNN). Smackdown is on at 7:00 PM CST, Thursdays on UPN. The Monday show is superior to Thursday's. All other WWE shows are compilations pieced together from the two main ones plus warm-up matches not deemed good enough for the big time.

"Injuries that would have you and me in a hospital for a week, they have to work through.

What do you mean by "we"?

I'm not surprised by those ratings. "Raw" had a rare 1-hour Iron Man match between HHH & Chris Benoit. That was the best match of that type I've seen since the one between Lesner & Kurt Angle.

What I'd really love to see is Bin Laden vs. Hussein in a covered steel cage, absolutely real. Two creeps go in and hopefully none come out. Proceeds go to families of military personnel who've fallen in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Austin needs to reconcile with Jeannie Adams. She's over there in England with his kids. He's over here with nothing but a pickup and a case of brews.

My wife watched some of the Stone Cold special that aired on UPN last year. She said it was obvious that they were still in love with each other.

I trust my wife on these matters....

Its not likely a publicity stunt. Tony Dungy wanted to draft him out of college, but after talking to Lesnar, knew it was a lost cost.

Besides, getting a guy that physically talented can't hurt, but it'll take at least a year of development.

If Brock had played in the XFL, he'd be in the NFL already. There was NFL interest in him coming out of college, they figuered it'd take a year of development though.

the only thing that can help the team is dumping Randy Moss

Put down the bag and step away from the bong for a while :)
