Pray that this is true

"We've noted before that WWE offered top women's wrestler Sara Del Rey a developmental deal. She was waiting on medical testing to come back but the feeling is that she will pass just fine.

There's speculation among some in WWE that Del Rey may be hired to help train the WWE Divas but that's not confirmed yet. Either way, Del Rey joining the company is seen as a major move."

Also note that Karma is pretty much confirmed to be ready to return to WWE TV very soon. On another divas note, I still love AJ. The WWE may be overusing her though, but I just love everything this woman is doing. Her facial expressions, the way she skips around, this girl is very entertaining and far more attractive as well since she took up the crazy chick gimmick. Don't think I could have turned down a wedding proposal from her, not when she gives you those puppy dog eyes, or that insane smile

You're new Heavyweight Champion of the World!

What did I tell you guys about that TNA improving? Huh?

I kind of feel stupid that I've been ignoring TNA for so long now while Vince keeps feeding me crap. You're not the first I've heard say that TNA is pretty good now. I hope I can catch some old episodes of Impact to see what I've been missing for the past couple of weeks. I guess it's all about who is in charge, if only the McMahons (which includes Triple H) didn't run the WWE. One can dream

Meh, with the exception of the shenanigans between AJ and her two pawns-I mean potential fiances, there's really not a whole lot to get excited about. I'm banking on Ziggler winning at the PPV (so very happy he's not being held back by Swagger anymore) but the hype for MITB is lukewarm at best and, while I still love the Great White, I'm not all that interested in the title match either.

I'm pretty much done watching Smackdown, I just check in for the results. Raw and all the hilarious videos on the youtube channel are what keep me interested. Oh yeah, more Kaitlyn and Aksana please!

You're actually enjoying this ridiculous A.J. crap? Not I. There's not a damn thing in WWE keeping me interested, but I will be watching the 1000th episode of Raw. TNA is where the good wrestling is at right now. TNA getting rid of Russo is the best move they ever made!

The entire AJ story line kind of brought the WWE back down to Earth in my opinion, but I don't watch it enough to give a fair opinion.

CM Punk really got me back into wrestling as the whole feel of RAW was less comical, a little less predictable, and a lot less soap opera-y.

Not saying I wouldn't kick someones ass to "get with" AJ (she's adorable and that smile would melt an ice cap) but the story is horribly written and although the skipping is cuter that a new born kitten, it seems a little goofy. Then again, that's like saying HHH spitting water into the sky is goofy, so I get it; it is a part of her character.

All that blabbering from me, and I'll still be watching RAW on Mondays until MNF comes back. RAW is still entertaining, albeit not as good as it was earlier this year.

$%!# just got real!

As for the love triangle, the angle started to win me over once AJ started getting into Punk's head. I personally can't stand AJ's theme song and skipping around (note: I do like AJ though), but everything else is just fine with me.

To be fair, Cena was on Del Rio for cashing it in after the match - not for having won the briefcase. It was how he won the title.

Did Jericho just go face? Oh my freaking god, do you know how good a face Jericho/heel Ziggler feud would be?

Surprisingly good Raw tonight. Some nice promo work from Show, I like him telling Punk that the WWE revolves around one guy. The old, pipe bomb Punk (and let's face it, he's not that guy anymore) would have acknowledged the truth of that statement, but right now we have a corporate, WWE CM Punk. I'm not hating on him though, but this guy isn't ever going to drop another real pipe bomb again

Rikishi!!!!!!!

Nice to see him. I'm not a Brotus Clay fan, but I wonder if the WWE didn't miss out on a golden opportunity to have him dance with Rikishi

Tout

Way to make your company seem like even more of a corporate machine WWE. I guess constant shilling Facebook and Twitter wasn't enough, now you gotta shill the product you've actually invested money in.

Still enjoying the show though, maybe I'll watch last Thursday's Impact on my DVR next and have a good night of wrestling.

I have a theory regarding Ziggler vs. Jericho:

Next week on Raw Cena and CM Punk will have their match. Whoever the winner is, Ziggler cashes in his Money in the Bank on and wins the title.

This feud between Ziggler and Jericho then becomes a WWE Championship match. Jericho then ends up winning the title, and legitimizes himself again as a main-event player (since Ziggler has pointed out his recent losing streak).

I really hope Linda McMahon fails at every political aspiration she has, if for no other reason than I am tired of seeing the lies and BS from her and the WWE whenever someone calls them out on some of the things the WWE has done in poor taste over the years. This recent thing over Nick Dinsmore and his portrayal of Eugene being a good example

http://allwrestling.com/news/44184/wwe- ... er-eugene/

Anyone who watched Eugene's run in the WWE knows damn well that his mental impairment has been played for laughs many times. The WWE has NEVER been above making fun of people for their disability or special needs (Jim Ross anyone?), but now that Linda is in politics they try to sweep all that stuff under the rug and act like the WWE has always been a company of the highest standards that never does anything in poor taste

Katie Vick anyone?

Good god, there is so much BS in the WWE and the McMahon family these days you can smell it. When Linda and the WWE get called out on this stuff they should just admit it and apologiz. If there is one thing people hate about politicians it's the BS and lies and Linda is proving herself to be exactly what you expect of a corrupt politician. I wonder how much they paid Nick Dinsmore for that video defending the Eugene character

Hey I liked Eugene as much as the next guy, but you're not gonna hear me pretend that they never exploited the character's mental impairment. I know damn well they did. You know if Matt and Trey did something like that on South Park they wouldn't lie about it. They're in the business of entertainment and don't feel any shame in doing stuff like that, but politics is all about falsely presenting oneself as the very model of good taste and proper ethics. Both things that don't come to my mind when I think of the McMahons, and it's ridiculous for them to think that people are going to forget about years of doing things in poor taste in the WWF and the WWE. The very notion of Linda in politics is a joke to me, but she's too blind to see that.
