Jun 12, 2009

» There have been no immediate reactions to the drop in TV ratings for Raw, ECW, Superstars and Smackdown within WWE. There was said to be some surprise as to how low some shows dipped in the ratings after the company received a huge amount of publicity over the situation in Denver.

» Kane hasn’t been used lately by WWE on the Smackdown brand, but he is not injured and it appears creative are unsure of what they want to do with the character at the moment.

» Long-time WCW and WWE referee Mickey Jay Henson was given some good news recently as he is now cancer free after chemotherapy treatments. Henson is looking to get back into wrestling and taking bookings at keysref@gmail.com.

» In an update on WWE Superstars, a new plan is in place for the creative team to have the weekly SmackDown match decided on by Thursday or Friday so they can arrange travel plans for SmackDown talent booked for Superstars for the Raw television taping. A decision was recently made to tape the weekly SmackDown match prior to Raw.
