— This past Friday night’s edition of WWE SmackDown drew 2.78 million viewers. That number is up from last week’s 2.43 million viewers. The final number will be out shortly.
— During a recent interview with CityPages to promote tonight’s WWE RAW broadcast, Curtis Axel was asked about what it’s like being a third-generation star from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Axel said:
“If you look at the guys who have come out of our state — my dad, Rick Rude, the Road Warriors, and the whole AWA, really — we produce tough guys. We’ve got a good stock in Minnesota. It’s always tough to live up to having a famous father and grandfather, but I’m not trying to be the next Mr. Perfect or Larry the Ax; I’m trying to be the first Joe Hennig. With a lot of third generation guys, their fathers are still around to give them advice. Unfortunately, my dad isn’t around anymore. I wish he was, and I still get good advice from my grandfather, but I think the fact that my dad isn’t around drives me even more to get out there and do it for myself.”
