» This weeks RAW did a 3.4 cable rating. More soon.

» To follow up on our earlier report, one thing that has been officially banned in WWE as of a few weeks ago is identifying the names of the referees on commentary.

» The wrestlers most likely to be called up to the main WWE roster from Florida Championship Wrestling are DH Smith, Eric Escobar (a.k.a. Eric Perez), Sheamus O’Shaunessy, and Drew McIntyre. Before anyone asks, we haven’t heard anything on anyone else. Smith is said to be an especially strong mat wrestler who has improved tremendously since the last time he was seen in WWE. WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis has pegged the second generation wrestler as a blue chip prospect and future main eventer for at least two years now. Meanwhile, there is ongoing concern on the attitude of Escobar, who has worked some recent WWE house show tours. He’s had a reputation for being a headcase since he was teaming with Raw wrestler Primo in developmental, and he still carries that stigma to this day.
