- Thanks to Ian Hamilton of www.theringsidelive.com Ringside Remembers Adam Firestorm: tribute show to be released this Wednesday (November 25):

For the week ending November 8…

Impact from November 5 did not draw in the top 10 for Bravo or Virgin 1… that equates to 34,000 or less viewers on Bravo, or 188,000 or less on Virgin!

Raw from November 2
drew 42,000 viewers in the live airing
drew 91,000 viewers on November 5’s replay (+53,000 viewers)

SmackDown from November 6
drew 53,000 in the first airing (+3,000 viewers)

- Former ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky recently posted a review of last week’s Smackdown, giving it a low rating. Chris Jericho responded. And now there seems to be a war of words between the two.

Gabe:
“Most of the wrestlers were robotic (stop at top of ramp, pose, walk into ring, ignore entire crowd and turn to hard cam, pose, turn back to ramp and wait for opponent). Everything was formulaic. I sat there for two hours from the opening bell waiting through dead time between matches and endless videos before Smackdown actually started. However, it wasn’t all bad as Tommy Dreamer is still over in Philly and Punk is a superstar. Anyway, my point. I saw some crappy wrestling lately that turned me off to the business.”

Jericho:
“Dammit, if Gabe Sopolsky (sic) wasn’t impressed, then what chance does the WWE have to survive even one more day? Breadline, here I come…”

Gabe:
“Don’t worry about the breadline Mr. Jericho, you are always welcome in Dragon Gate USA or EVOLVE. Better yet, Mr. Jericho, consider yourself invited to 11/28 Philly or 1/23 (Chicago) DGUSA events and compare it to Smackdown yourself.”

- From Kofi Kingston’s Twitter:
“Shooting a commercial in ny before the show. Busy day! But busy is good people. Busy is good.” and “Wow. MSG was absolutely 100% amazing. To wrestle in a venue with such history is truly an honor.”

- Here are the next 4 week’s worth of WWE Raw guest hosts:

November 22nd: Jesse Ventura (promoting Conspiracy Theory show).
November 30th: Verne “Mini Me’ Troyer (promoting movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus).
December 7th: Mark Cuban (of HDNet, probably not promoting ROH lol).
December 14th: Dennis Miller (Comedian).

- Bitter WWE Hall of Famer Billy Graham took the bate and happily dissed Linda McMahon and her coming political career in the Hartford Courant. He said, “She may look like a Sunday school teacher but Linda McMahon’s hands are as bloody as her husband’s because she is aware of every move in the ring.”

He went on to say that the PG move was just to deceive people so Linda could run for senate.
