Dave Scherer is reporting that everyone backstage in WWE was happy with Chris Jericho’s return and how it came off in front of the live audience on RAW last night. Jericho was said to be in great spirits and happy to be back with the company.
WWEShop.com has released a new “Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen” t-shirt. I noticed the shirt on the web site sometime last week, but it probably means nothing and is just being sold to capitalize on holiday sales. Flair will return to WWE on RAW next Monday night.
CNBC has a new story online today talking about the growth of the UFC and how they feel that is taking away from WWE’s popularity. The news outlet wrote, "The sport is also taking share from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which needs to find a way to counter the trend or risk being in serious trouble."
Prior to the dark match on RAW, DX came out and Triple H began to do the DX introduction but Shawn Michaels stopped him and informed him that they were off the air and Vince said that they could no longer do that? Triple H replied with, “We never do what Vince says.”
After the match between DX vs. Umaga and Kennedy in a dark match on RAW, Triple H started to flirt with some ladies, one of them lifted her shirt and flashed the audience. While this took place, HBK was in the corner praying and covering his eyes.
Lilian Gacria will be on the El Show De Fernando Hidalgo in Miami on America Teve Channel 41 tonight at 7PM. She is expected to be performing and take part in an interview.
***lillian seems to be going around promoting her album on spanish stations. i was watching mun2 earlier yesterday prior to going to work. they had rey mysterio on first and then they introduced lillian afterwards. they didn't really give her enough air time and i don't think she sang. i had to leave for work quickly so i didn't catch the whole interview.***
Back in the spring of this year, Vince McMahon made the call to downplay the sexiness of the WWE Divas and has decided to do so again. This action is an attempt to try to book WWE in a more family friendly way since kids are a larger part of the audience and the adult audience has drifted since the Benoit murders.
There is concern within the company that the portrayal of women as sex objects would potentially backfire with so many different media pieces coming. Vince said that they are looking to attract viewers from every demo and for the creative team to not be short sighted in who potential viewers are.
Going into WWE's Armageddon pay-per-view next month, the planned SmackDown main event is Batista vs. Edge vs. The Undertaker in a Triple Threat for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Plans have Jeff Hardy and Snitsky working a program, as you can see coming off of RAW this week. A match between the two in some fashion is likely for the Armageddon pay-per-view, not necessarily a one-on-one match but maybe some sort of tag match with Triple H and Umaga thrown in.
Other Armageddon plans see Chris Jericho taking on Randy Orton in the main event for the WWE Championship. There has been some resistance about putting Jericho in the WWE Title picture this soon but it's believed this is part of his new deal.
The footage that was filmed by WWE over the weekend in Naples, Florida was for new TV openings being shot in High-Definition. Additional photo shoots for material that will be used specifically for inclusion in future HD-TV WWE broadcasts also took place. Most of the main rosters were present for the shoots.
WWE has been playing with the idea of High-Def broadcasting since September of 2006 at a live event in Uncasville, CT where they taped the show specifically in HD as a test show, complete with backstage promos and everything. Vince McMahon, when asked at the recent stockholders meeting about the company going Hi-Def, predicted they would do so within the year. WWE hasn't officially announced when they will completely switch over to the format but SmackDown will be shown in HD by January 2008, according to releases by WWE and the CW Network. By 2009, all TV broadcasts will be switched over to a digital format.

TAMPA, Fla. – SmackDown Superstar Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy at a Tampa area hospital tonight. Doctors expect the surgery to keep Hardy out of action anywhere from 1-3 months.
An appendectomy by definition is the removal of the appendix from the lower right area of the abdomen. Oftentimes, if the surgery is not performed immediately, severe consequences can follow.
Hardy’s emergency surgery comes less than a week after suffering a knee injury at the hands of his former partner, the United States Champion MVP. Did the attack by MVP help lead to the appendectomy that Hardy underwent tonight?
