[b]TUESDAY, WEEK 2, JUNE 2007[/B] [b]RAW TV RATINGS[/B] Sky Sports 3 - 0.85 TQS - 5.13 USA Network - 25.21 Raw drew 8,851 fans last night, not amazing figures but still good enough as the industry is said to be in a bit of a downfall at the moment The show for me went very well, and I will have to say that the superstars drafted only knew about an hour before hand, although they were told to keep it quiet untill we went live on air to stop anything leaking out to any of the media outlets and especially onto the internet sites. There was a slight booking change last night, in the Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Chris Benoit match, it was originally planned for Shawn Michaels to tap out to the crossface but we decided just before the match that it would be more of an impact for Cena to tap out and adding more reason for him to leave Raw last night. Where is Cena going? Well that would spoil the suprise if I told anyone, only a few people backstage know at the moment, again to stop anything leaking out onto the internet. ECW and Smackdown will both be done the same way as Raw last night, all superstars will be in attendance a few hours before, with those moving to either brand being told shortly before the shows begin. ECW is live tonight, so be sure to catch it to find out who will be moving to that brand. Also because of time constraints, only three of their draft picks will be announced tonight, the other two announced in a few days possibly at One Night Stand. Speaking of which, O.N.S is this Sunday and looks to be quite a decent event. We have the T.V Title tournament with a new champion being crowned on the night, and also Umaga defending his ECW Heavyweight Title in a cage match against an opponent of Vince McMahon's choosing. In other news, SHIMMER star Ms Chif has signed a developmental deal with us, and will be in OVW for a few months. This again adds to the female talented Im hoping to being up by the end of the year to add to our womans division and hopefully improve it quite alot. Also dont forget that if you havent done so allready to get your predictions in soon for Sundays One Night Stand, details can be found on the previous page of this blog.

[B]WEEK 2, JUNE 2007[/B] [B]WEDNESDAY[/B] [B]T.V RATINGS[/B] Raw - 0.45 on Premiere ECW - 15.15 on Sci-Fi Im really really suprised last night with the attendance at Hammerstein Ballroom. 9,858 people paid to watch last night's ECW which is a HUGE raise from RAW the night before. I was slightly awe-struck at first when I saw the sheer amount of people packed in there and it was very nearly all sold out. Obviously this has more to do with ECW appearing in the Ballroom, but I think as well that people knew that because of the draft their would be some high-profile superstars turning up on ECW. Speaking of which, I think Ive finally shocked the internet writers with the return of JBL to the ring last night. This has actually been in plan for quite a while now, with John wanting to return to the ring sometime soon. He's been training quite alot and looks in really good shape at the moment. Also he did kind of request being moved to ECW to help that brand out, plus he knew he's allready got heat from the ECW crowd for his comments at One Night Stand from the previous two years. So, the brand switches seemed to be going down quite well at the moment. But as you may well know, theres one man that there seems to be alot of interest in where he will appear. John Cena walked out of RAW on Monday night and as we saw on ECW last night, Paul Heyman allready has a contract he wants signed when Cena returns to the company. Im not giving anything away yet, but just keep an eye on all TV shows in the next week or so. ------------------------------------ [B]THURSDAY[/B] First off today, Im pleased to report that contract extension talks with Paul London have gone well and that he's signed an 18 month extension on to his current contract. Secondly, and something I forgot to mention before even though most people will allready know, Smackdown! is being broadcast live this week. Obviously the reason behind this is because of the draft. We decided that we didnt want anything leaking out at all to spoil the suprise for people, so we thought it would be best to screen the show live. So that will still be on tomorrow night, but coming LIVE for the first time in a while. Also, Im pleased to announce that we have signed Jay and Mark Briscoe to full time contracts. Two very talented guys that have been working on the Indy scene for a few years, they'll hopefully add something more to the tag team division on either Raw or Smackdown. With all the roster changes this week Im sure they'll be making their debuts in the next week or two. ------------------------------------ [B]FRIDAY:AM[/b] [b]T.V RATINGS[/B] ECW - 1.20 on Sky Sports 3 Sean Morley, otherwise known as Val Venis, has today signed a 18 month extension on his contract. Im quite happy with this as he's recently moved to ECW, so hopefully we'll be able to come up with something abit more than having him just appear on house shows. We've got a busy weekend ahead, with Smackdown! coming live tonight, One Night Stand on Sunday, and then restarting the week with RAW on Monday. Luckily there isnt much travelling between today and Sunday, so at least most of the wrestlers can relax tomorrow. Talking of PPV's, The Great American Bash is only just over 2 weeks away. However due to alot of other events taking place, only one match so far has been booked, which is Edge Vs Chris Benoit for the WWE Heavyweight Title. This is guaranteed to be one hell of a match, both men have been looking good recently and with Benoit quickly jumping into the title race on RAW, who knows whats going to happen in the coming weeks. Kenny Dykstra seems to be entering a programme with Santino Marella. So I think this match may be added next week on RAW. Theres still alot of mixed feelings from the internet about Marella, we're keeping a close eye on him at the moment and deciding what is best to do for the company and for him. Ive been down at OVW in my spare time recently, mainly checking out the female talent that Ive recently signed. Even though the girls are not being used alot, there is still at least one match on every card. All of them have been showing great promise whilst training, so hopefully some of them will be called up to the main roster soon. as we deffinately need some good female workers on the roster. Anyways, Smackdown! is tonight, and again features their draft picks. So make sure you tune in to catch all the action live. Also dont forget to send in your predicitions for One Night Stand, details again can be found on the previous page of this blog.

[i]Rating: B+[/i] [B][I]FINAL OVERALL RATING: B-[/B][/I] [/font] -------------------------- Nice to see more people sending in their predictions. However, CHRIS and OUTLAW, you both need to state the Tiebreaker question on who you think Umaga's opponent will be.

[B]WEEK 2, JUNE 2007[/B] [B]SATURDAY[/B] Smackdown attendance last night was 9,989. As you can see, all the draft transfers have now taken place. Just to recap for those keeping count. [b]TO RAW[/b] Chris Benoit < Smackdown Kane < Smackdown Kevin Thorn < ECW Deuce < Smackdown Domino < Smackdown (Cherry by default) [b]TO SMACKDOWN[/b] Randy Orton < Raw Shelton Benjamin < Raw Charlie Haas < Raw Ric Flair < Raw Rob Van Dam < ECW [b]TO ECW[/b] Val Venis < Raw JBL < Smackdown Finlay < Smackdown (w/ Hornswoggle) Also, this being the WWE, we noticed last night that even tho he was traded to Smackdown, Rob Van Dam is still in the ECW TV Title Tournament this Sunday. At the moment we will be keeping him in the tournament, although as stated the card is subjected to change at any time. Tomorrow looks like it will be a good night. As stated we have the TV Title tournament, and also a steel cage match for the ECW Heavyweight Title between Umaga and a mystery opponent. Well obviously I know who it is, and its abit of a gamble we're taking... But once its all revealed, you know it will make sense!

[b]WEEK 2, JUNE 2007[/B] [b]SUNDAY AM[/b] Well after the mad rush the past few days, from being at Smackdown and then travelling for tonights One Night Stand, I forgot a few things to mention! Firstly, the TV ratings for Smackdown! Sky Sports 1 - 4.16 CW - 31.67 Im very proud to announce that this is Smackdown's best rating on the CW network since I took over. The last half hour, featuring the RVD / Batista / Flair match scored a 31.79 rating which Im pretty damn pleased about. Hopefully we can keep some of these viewers in the upcoming weeks Great American Bash is in just over two weeks, and we only have two matches so far. Edge Vs Chris Benoit for the WWE Heavyweight Title The Undertaker Vs Ric Flair for the WWE World Heavyweight Title There will be a few more announced in the upcoming week... Concerning the RVD situation for tonights TV Title Tournament at O.N.S, we have decided that its probably in the best interests of the company and ECW that he doesnt participate. We havent decided exactly what is happening with his slot, but obviously you will find out if you tune in tonight, live on PPV

Question: for those of us who made predictions with the assumption of RVD actually being involved, do we have to do our predictions over again since he was removed from it entirely, or does it count as wrong?

[joose2001]

RVD's replacement will count as him in your votes, if that makes sense. Yeah I didnt think things through before I moved him..... So if youve got RVD winning the whole thing, and his replacement does, that still counts for your total points. Its gonna be someone of the same sort of level as him, so there wouldnt be any change in the results I was doing anyway.

[Anubis]

Alrighty, sounds good, looking forward to it. Though I must admit, I'm more looking forward to finding out the KotR surprise.

[Anubis]

Is it that hard to replace RVD in the tourney? :D ;) Not to blunt I hope . . .
