UFC > All.
[Insert WWE bashing statement.]
Hopefully CM Punk starts to become more involved in WWE. He was a great pickup for them, and, hopefully, he's going to be a big part of their future. Anyone else a fan?
Also, some news and notes from NoDQ.
---The latest WWE video game was almost complete when it was ordered to
extract Chris Benoit from it. There were a lot of problems in this
because they can't just so easily delete him from the game, especially
considering that game so far in the process. Nonetheless, the feeling
was that it would be a p.r. disaster if they released the game with
Benoit as one of the star characters. The video game's team pretty much
had no choice but to remove Benoit from the game.

---Jim Ross checked in with his latest blog entry where he spoke on Edge's
injury, Dean Malenko making a return and much more. Below are several
highlights:

On Edge's Injury:

I feel really bad for Edge, who will apparently be out of action
for approximately 4 months due to a pec tear. Edge has arguably been
one of the most valuable hands in the WWE for quite some time and is
one of the overall most talented men in the company, from where I sit.
Perhaps this untimely injury will be a blessing in disguise for Edge,
over the long haul, as he will be able to get completely healthy before
he roars back into the scene. For my money, I would say Edge will
definitely have more title reigns before he decides to hang up what is
shaping up to be a Hall of Fame level career. Edge was one of my
signees many years ago and has always served the WWE and our fans well.
Being a life long fan has helped Edge become the super star that he is,
which speaks to the point that prospects should rarely be signed if
they are not fans of the genre.

Edge, HoF? Wow...that's...sad.
-- At the 7/10 SmackDown/ECW taping in New Orleans, a number of signs
were confiscated. Particularly ones reading stuff along the lines of
"RIP Woman", "RIP Chris Benoit" and even "RIP Sherri Martel." They even
confiscated a sign that read "We paid to see Flair." Flair wasn't at
the show due to an ear injury.
If anyone has ever gone to a WWE event, they make a game of confiscating signs. It's like whichever staff member confiscates the most gets the key to the divas locker room. They once confiscated one of my signs, that said "Hogan Sucks", during the Mr. America era. Lame.
