WWE management was ecstatic after yesterday's RAW house show in St. Louis. They came away with over $200,000 at 9,000 paid audiences, including comps, they had about 10,000 in house and even a bigger feat they attracted such a big crowd despite the NCAA Regional Final being in town.

They were also happy that they drew about 3,400 paid for about $120,000 at Friday's show in Cape Girardeau, MO.

Triple H and Chris Benoit have been praised for their recent house show work together. Management says their matches as of late have been superb.

Dave Batista has been spending a lot of time management as they are going over what they think he needs to do to get over better. They feel he hasn't been doing such a great job in the ring so they are trying to show him the mental aspect of the business and the state of mind he needs to be in while in action. They feel he has the makings of being a top guy on the roster.
